  • Patent number: 10049421
    Abstract: According to one aspect, the subject matter described herein includes a method for secure content watermarking. The method includes generating a watermark that encodes information as a set of visual elements; receiving content that represents a graphical workspace to be displayed to a user; creating watermarked content by combining an image of the received content with at least one copy of the watermark sufficient to fill the area of the image; and displaying the watermarked content to the user via a display device having a display area. Should the user take a screenshot or take a picture of some or all of the watermarked content, the picture so acquired will contain watermark information that can be used to identify the session from which the picture or screenshot was taken.

  • Patent number: 6819824
    Abstract: Optical switch packaging techniques and optical switch components are described. In one aspect, an optical switch component that includes a die mounted on an interposer is described. The die has an exposed array of mirrors that can be used as part of an optical switch. Typically, the interposer will also have a fiber array mount arranged to receive a fiber bundle and to position the fiber bundle appropriately over the array of mirrors. In some embodiments, an optical switch can be formed by putting together two mirror image interposer based optical switch components. When placing two interposer based optical switch components together, an alignment frame may be positioned between the interposers to help maintain a desired spacing between the respective arrays of mirrors. In some such embodiments, an inner housing is provided that encloses the dice, the fiber array mounts the alignment frame and portions of the interposers, but leaves connectors mounted on the interposers exposed.
