  • Publication number: 20230208633
    Abstract: A method and system for secure communications includes obtaining at a first device and a chief device signals based on movement of at least one of the devices between them. Both the first device and chief device convert the signals into identical first secret keys which are then stored. The method and system next includes obtaining at a second device and a chief device signals based on movement between them of at least one of the devices. Both the second device and chief device convert the signals into identical second secret keys which are then stored. The chief device then encrypts first secret key with second secret key and transmits to the second device which decrypts it with its copy of second secret key obtaining first secret key. These communicating devices can then transmit data between them securely encrypted and decrypted with the first secret key.

  • Patent number: 9504100
    Abstract: A selective radiation utilization apparatus includes an optical filtering device and a modulation device. The optical filtering device transmits one or more selected spectral bands of incoming solar radiation and reflects one or more remaining bands of the incoming solar radiation. The modulation device spatially modulates one of the one or more selected spectral bands or the one or more remaining bands and directs the spatially modulated one of the one or more selected spectral bands or the one or more remaining bands towards a target of illumination.

  • Patent number: 9328513
    Abstract: A skylight system including a support frame and an apex patch fitting that together support a plurality of glass pieces joined together in a selectable shape. The support frame includes a sill and a setting chair that are arranged to support the base portions of the glass pieces. The apex patch fitting may be of selectable shape and includes an upper and lower member to retain the peaks or corners of the glass therebetween. The apex patch fitting includes one or more positioning keys to align and secure the glass pieces. A method of making the skylights includes the use of an apex retainer tool to maintain the apex patch fitting in a fixed position while placing glass pieces on it. Multiple apex patch fittings can be used for a skylight, including a skylight that is ridge shaped or hipped ridge shape.

  • Patent number: 8808065
    Abstract: A surface treating device includes an open lofty non-woven layer (1) and a woven layer (2). The non-woven layer and woven layer have facing sides (5, 6) which are adhered to each other. A plurality of abrasive segments (3) is adhered to the woven layer on the side (7) of the woven layer (2) which faces away from the non-woven layer (1). Thus, the abrasive segments are held in a stable manner so as to better withstand the frictional forces exerted thereon during service.

  • Patent number: 8727837
    Abstract: A rotatable disc head for a floor treatment device includes a pair of coupling members which are pivotably connected to each other according to pivot axes which are transversely oriented with respect to each other. A rotation axis is defined which is transversely oriented with respect to the pivot axes. The coupling members are furthermore connected to each other by means of at least one elastically deformable connection element. One of the coupling members includes fitting means for mounting the coupling member to the rotary drive of the floor treatment device and the other coupling member includes carrier means onto which a floor treatment element, such as a grinding disc, can be mounted. The connection of the connection elements to one of the coupling members is an adjustable connection allowing displacements which are oriented transversely with respect to the rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 8254665
    Abstract: Methods and systems for three-dimensional imaging include sampling one or more emissions which are reflected back from a target scene with one or more micro-channel plates. The one or more sampled emissions are processed in one or more frames. Within each frame a phase is extracted and a distance to the target scene and amplitude is determined on a pixel-by-pixel basis. A three dimensional image of the target scene is generated and provided based on the extracted phase and the determined distance and amplitude for the one or more frames.
