  • System and method for authenticating digital content
    Patent number: 7509683
    Abstract: A system and method for authenticating digital content is described. In one implementation, digital content recorded by a recording device is stored in a secure section of a memory device. A control system is configured to block access to the digital content stored in the secure section except to permit one or more portions of the digital content to be transmitted to a certification and validation authority where the one or more portions of the digital content is maintained in a secure repository in the event the authenticity of the digital content is questioned.
    Type: Grant

  • Connector locking device
    Patent number: 7155822
    Abstract: A locking device for a connector that can be readily adapted to an existing electronics enclosure such as personal computer. Preferably the locking device has one or more sheathing members that form a hollow space for at least partially retaining a connector. The sheathing member has one or more openings connecting the hollow space inside the sheathing member with the space outside of the sheathing member. The openings are adapted to permit the connector to be connected to a mating connector and to provide for at least partial entry of a cable that is associated with the connector. Finally, the sheathing member has one or more projecting members for securing the connector locking device to the electronics enclosure.
