Patent number: 11003762Abstract: Password Hidden Characters is a security method which creates characters which are invisible. It is a method comprising steps used to insert time intervals between specific password characters, or to replace characters which have been withdrawn from the password or message, with the objective being to disguise a true password or message meant to be secret, and by so doing to create an invisible code. The invisible code allows messages which are supposed to be secret to remain that way. This protection evolves from the withdrawal of any six characters out of a total of 26 available, and the number of permutations created when this is done.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Inventor: William John McIntosh

Patent number: 7383766Abstract: The invention relates to a coal dewatering system, method and apparatus. The dewatering system includes a preheater vessel (82) having a chamber (101) for heating coal, an inlet (84) to permit the passage of coal into the chamber (101), and an outlet (86) for permitting the passage of coal from the chamber (101). The dewatering vessel also includes a heating mechanism (98) associated with the preheater vessel (82) to heat coal contained in the chamber (101) and a non-return valve (92) to substantially prevent heated coal removed from the preheater chamber (101) via the outlet (86) from re-entering the preheater vessel (82) via the outlet (86). The dewatering system further includes a dewatering unit (60) adapted to receive the heated coal from the outlet (86) via the non-return valve (92) and to thereby dewater the coal.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2002Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: MTE Research Pty LtdInventors: Malcolm John McIntosh, Danh Quan Huynh

Publication number: 20060048697Abstract: A system (10) for monitoring and controlling a fabrication process includes at least a first subsystem (12), a crystallographic analysis subsystem (14), and a second subsystem (16), wherein the first subsystem and second subsystem perform respective fabrication steps on a workpiece. The crystallographic analysis subsystem may be coupled to both the first subsystem and second subsystem. The analysis subsystem acquires crystallographic information from the workpiece after the workpiece undergoes a fabrication step by the first subsystem and then provides information, based on the crystallographic information acquired, for modifying parameters associated with the respective fabrication steps. The system may also include neural networks (24, 28) to adaptively modify, based on historical process data (32), parameters provided to the respective fabrication steps. The analysis subsystem may include a electromagnetic source (61), a detector (66), a processor (67), a controller (68) and a scanning actuator (65).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2003Publication date: March 9, 2006Inventors: Erik Houge, John Mcintosh, Robert Jones
