Abstract: A process may involve digesting raw phosphate with concentrated sulfuric acid and converting the raw phosphate to calcium sulfate in the form of dihydrate and/or hemihydrate, and phosphoric acid, separating off calcium sulfate as solid from a liquid phase of a suspension that is obtained, treating the calcium sulfate that is separated off or from a stockpile with an acid to give a suspension with purified calcium sulfate and P2O5-containing acid solution, separating off the purified calcium sulfate as solid from a liquid phase of a suspension obtained, using the P2O5-containing liquid phase as a portion of the sulfuric acid required for digesting the raw phosphate or as feedstock for treating phosphogypsum from the stockpile to give a suspension of purified calcium sulfate and P2O5-containing acid solution, which is thereafter processed.

Abstract: A connecting-separating device is for separating satellites from launchers or satellite dispensers. Circumferentially aligned clamps can be coupled on their inner face on rings of separable elements constituting the union interface between the two separable elements. A release mechanism connects two of the clamps through one of the ends of the clamps. The two clamps are connected by the release mechanism include a protrusion protruding from their outer faces at the end opposite the end connecting with the release mechanism. The rest of the clamps include a protrusion protruding from their outer faces at each of their ends adjacent the adjacent clamps, so that each pair of clamps adjacent and not connected to one another by the release mechanism are connected to one another by connectors connecting the protrusions.

Abstract: Embodiment for systems, method and computer program products for transacting a secure retail transaction (SRT). The system comprises a seller device to generate seller information associated with a financial transaction, a unique, one-time-only transaction identification and seller's financial institution data. A buyer device receives a transaction invoice having transaction invoice information and generates encrypted buyer data with the transaction invoice information. The system includes a transaction manager to generate a single transaction data packet comprising encrypted buyer data from the buyer device and the seller information transmitted and establishes a communication session from the buyer to transmit the encrypted transaction data packet to a buyer's financial institution. The buyer's institution sends the transaction packet information to the seller's institution for pairing with the unique, one-time-only encrypted invoice within allotted time established by the seller.

Abstract: A separation system for separable elements of spacecraft and launchers includes an upper ring, a lower ring and a band with an inner channel which houses slidable clamps, which are applied against the upper ring and the lower ring that form the connection interface between the two separable elements. A device joins/separates the ends of the band, both the upper ring and the lower ring including an outer protruding element with a wedged section to be lodged in the clamps. The upper ring also has an inner protruding element with a wedged section that matches a channel shaped section in the lower ring, the lower ring also has an outer portion including the outer protruding element with a wedged section and the channel shaped section, the outer portion protruding from a main part of the lower ring and being spaced from it creating a groove.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for storing and transmitting sensitive data is disclosed including storing source data on a secure data storage of a secondary device connected to a computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to operate via an operating system with a central processor, and wherein the secure data storage is adapted to receive input unilaterally from the computing device and store it as source data, and transferring the source data from the secure data storage to a communications interface component that connects the computing device to a computer network, wherein the transferring is implemented via the secondary device while bypassing the central processor. A system is also provided.

Abstract: A system for secure key management including a secondary device comprising a programmable hardware component and an associated secure data storage, wherein the secondary device comprises a one-way communications link to receive input unilaterally from a computing device, an encryption key generator to generate and store encryption keys on the secure data storage, and an encryption key distribution module to distribute encryption keys to one or more destinations on a computer network through a communications interface component, wherein the distribution is adapted to bypass a central processor of the computing device. A method is also provided.

Abstract: A method for storing and transmitting data across a computer network to one or more destinations is disclosed including storing source data on a secure data storage of a secondary device connected to a computing device. The computing device is configured to operate via an operating system and the secure data storage is adapted to receive input unilaterally from the computing device and store it as source data. Receiving one or more of routing, scheduling, and prioritization information for one or more destinations including other network-connected storage mediums or network-connected computing or peripheral devices, and transferring the source data from the secure data storage to the one or more destinations through a communications interface component connected to the computer network are also performed. The transferring is implemented via the secondary device while bypassing the central processor and in accordance with the one or more of routing, scheduling, and prioritization information.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for storing and transmitting sensitive information from a mobile device to another mobile device or remote server is disclosed including storing source data on a secure data storage of a secondary device connected to a mobile device wherein the mobile device is configured to operate via an operating system with a central processor, and wherein the secure data storage is adapted to receive input unilaterally from the mobile device, encrypt sensitive information of the input, and store the input as source data, and transferring the source data from the secure data storage to a communications interface component that connects the mobile device to another mobile device or remote server, wherein the transferring is implemented via the secondary device while bypassing the central processor. A system is also provided.
