  • Patent number: 7774411
    Abstract: An electronic message transport protocol applies two distinct sub-protocols, a message transport protocol and an encryption key management protocol, which operate in tandem to provide enhanced security. The protocol may employ an existing SMTP infrastructure to transport secure email messages, and a key server implementing the key management protocol to transport key packets associated with the secure email message. However, the protocol need not be limited to email, and may be applicable to other electronic message applications. The message transport protocol permits communicating parties to obscure their identities to enhance security. The key management protocol supports message security, and allows senders to control access to messages even after they have been transmitted. The message transport protocol permits the sender to encrypt the entire message and utilizes the key management protocol for exchange of necessary keys.

  • Patent number: 7201360
    Abstract: A pneumatic device having a selectively variable pneumatic output comprises an inlet connectable to an air source and an outlet disposed in a flow path, a control assembly in the flow path and having a plurality of differently sized primary orifi. The control assembly includes a selector having a secondary orifice, the selector moveable relative to the primary orifi between a plurality of positions, the primary orifi and the secondary orifice arrangeable relative to one another to permit the secondary orifice to be in flow communication with a selected one of the primary orifi. The control assembly further blocks the remaining primary orifi when the secondary orifice is aligned with the selected one of the primary orifi.
