  • Publication number: 20090125988
    Abstract: A host securely transmits content to a peripheral thereof. The peripheral has a symmetric key (PK) and a copy of (PK) encrypted according to a public key (PU) of an entity ((PU(PK))). In the method, the host receives (PU(PK)) from the peripheral, and sends (PU(PK)) to the entity. The entity has a private key (PR) corresponding to (PU), applies (PR) to (PU(PK)) to obtain (PK), and sends (PK) back to the host. The host receives (PK) from the entity, encrypts at least a portion of the content according to (PK), and transmits the encrypted content to the peripheral. The peripheral may then decrypt the encrypted content based on (PK). A bind key (BK) encrypted by (PK) ((PK(BK))) may accompany (PU(PK)), where the content is to be encrypted according to (BK). Thus, (PK) is not revealed to the host.

  • Publication number: 20080030513
    Abstract: Techniques are described for processing computerized images with a graphics processing unit (GPU) using an extended vertex cache. The techniques include creating an extended vertex cache coupled to a GPU pipeline to reduce an amount of data passing through the GPU pipeline. The GPU pipeline receives an image geometry for an image, and stores attributes for vertices within the image geometry in the extended vertex cache. The GPU pipeline only passes vertex coordinates that identify the vertices and vertex cache index values that indicate storage locations of the attributes for each of the vertices in the extended vertex cache to other processing stages along the GPU pipeline. The techniques described herein defer the setup of attribute gradients to just before attribute interpolation in the GPU pipeline. The vertex attributes may be retrieved from the extended vertex cache for attribute gradient setup just before attribute interpolation in the GPU pipeline.

  • Publication number: 20070181400
    Abstract: A roller may have a roller cylinder having two ends and an axle assembly in at least one end of the roller cylinder. The axle assembly has an axle stub extending out from the roller cylinder and rotatably mounted therein by two spaced-apart bearings. In another aspect, an axle cartridge for a roller includes a sleeve having a length and having two ends and two bearings mounted in the sleeve, spaced-apart from each other. An axle stub is mounted in the bearings for rotation relative to the sleeve, the axle stub being configured to protrude from the sleeve. A roller may be manufactured by mounting an axle cartridge as described herein in each end of a roller cylinder.
