  • Content distribution and aggregation
    Patent number: 8935532
    Abstract: In an example, a method for secure publication of content is described. The method may include encrypting content with a media key. The method may also include providing the encrypted content to a client device associated with a private key and a public key. The private key may be stored at the client device. The method may also include encrypting the media key with the public key. The method may also include providing the encrypted media key to the client device.
    Type: Grant

  • Self powered son device network
    Patent number: 7385503
    Abstract: A network includes a plurality of wirelessly interconnected self-organizing network (SON) devices for relaying signals in a self-organizing network and a field device for originating output signals. The sensor is configured to transmit the output signals to at least one of the SON devices, and the SON devices do not originate signals but only relay signals originated externally. At least one of the SON devices is self-powered by harvesting energy from an adjacent energy source.

  • Diagnostic system for detecting rupture or thinning of diaphragms
    Patent number: 7295131
    Abstract: A diaphragm diagnostic system for use in an industrial field device has a diaphragm and a diagnostic feature. The diaphragm is configured to couple the field device to a process fluid and has a plurality of layers. A first layer of the plurality of layers is exposed to process fluid of an industrial process. A diagnostic feature is coupled to the diaphragm to monitor an electrical parameter of the diaphragm and responsively infer an operative state of the diaphragm based on a change in the monitored electrical parameter.
