Abstract: The encryption/decryption device includes a plaintext unit, a ciphertext unit and a cryptographic unit connected therebetween. The plaintext unit may include a logic device such as a first programmable logic device (PLD), e.g. a field programmable gate array (FPGA), for interfacing with the protected network to perform encapsulation of data from the protected network to define outgoing datagrams, and to perform decapsulation of incoming datagrams from the cytographic unit. The ciphertext unit may include a second logic device such as a PLD or FPGA for interfacing with the unprotected network to perform routing of incoming encrypted datagrams from the unprotected network to the cryptographic unit, and to perform routing of outgoing encrypted datagrams from the cryptographic unit to the unprotected network.

Abstract: A method makes a discrete adjustment to static alignment of a laser beam in a machine for selectively irradiating conductive links on or within a semiconductor substrate using the laser beam. The laser beam propagates along a beam path having an axis extending from a laser to a laser beam spot at a location on or within the semiconductor substrate. The method generates, based on at least one measured characteristic of the laser beam, at least one signal to control an adjustable optical element of the machine affecting the laser beam path. The method also sends said at least one signal to the adjustable optical element. The method then adjusts the adjustable optical element in response to said at least one signal so as to improve static alignment of the laser beam path axis.

Abstract: A nanocomposite material suitable for electrical insulation includes a polymer compounded with a substantially homogeneously distributed functionalized nanoparticle filler. The nanocomposite material is produced by compounding the polymer with the functionalized nanoparticle filler by imparting a shear force to a mixture of the polymer and filler capable of preventing agglomeration of the filler whereby the filler is substantially homogeneously distributed in the nanocomposite material. The electrical insulation may be adapted for AC or DC high voltage, and may also be adapted for low or medium voltage to prevent formation of water tree structures.

Abstract: A device for reading and learning indicia, particularly music notation and other music-related indicia, is disclosed. The device is constructed with at least one sheet and has a main image portion and a hanging portion. The main image portion is foldable about first folds and second folds and the hanging portion is foldable about an edge fold and second folds to form a variety of display, storage and travel configurations, including a poster configuration, self-standing configuration, storage pocket configuration and pocket folder configuration. Fastening devices are employed to releasably maintain contact between the surfaces of the learning device. Indicia may be positioned anywhere on the learning device to facilitate reading and learning.

Abstract: A solid state, static power supply control mechanism for coordinated transfer of a load from a preferred source of AC power to an alternate source of AC power should the level of power transmitted from the preferred source fall below a set, adjustable level and thereafter, upon re-establishment of the proper level of operating power of the preferred source, re-transfer of the load from the alternate source to the preferred source. A unique method of current interlock prevents the alternate power source from connecting to the load until the current from the preferred source is absolutely interrupted, with the same criteria required for re-transfer from the alternate to the preferred source of power. This mechanism and associated switching technique insures supply of power to the load regardless of the preferred power source failure mode and regardless of the phase relation of the preferred and alternate sources of power.

Abstract: A device as disclosed to facilitate the placement of locks into doors including key-in-knob lock sets, mortise deadlocks as well as independent knobs and deadbolts. The device includes a body which is detachably securable with respect to a door edge in which it includes calibrations or gradations therealong in order to align the correct spacing normally independently measured by a locksmith. The body member defines an aperture along the portion adjacent to the edge of the door, which aperture is adapted to receive selectively a plate for guiding of boring in through the edge as well as to receive a plate for guiding of routing out the edge of the door about the bored out hole to provide a recess to receive the face of the locking mechanism. The pilot block for guiding of the boring is movable with respect to the plate placed into the aperture of the body.
