Abstract: A method for encryption and sealing of a plaintext file by hashing the plaintext file to produce a plaintext hash, encrypting the plaintext file to produce ciphertext, hashing the ciphertext to produce a ciphertext hash, hashing the plaintext hash and the ciphertext hash to produce a result hash, and sealing the ciphertext together with the result hash. This provides verification for non-repudiation and protects against undetected malware corrupting the plaintext or ciphertext files.

Abstract: A device and method for file encryption and decryption with a cryptographic processor reconstituting a file encryption key from a version of the key which has been shrouded with a network authorization code. This meets a need for restricted communication and data containment by limiting access to a pre-defined community-of-interest, so that no one outside of that community can decrypt encrypted content.

Abstract: A portable encryption device with logon access controlled by an encryption key, with an on board cryptographic processor for reconstituting the encryption key from a plurality of secrets generated by a secret sharing algorithm, optionally shrouded with external secrets using an invertible transform resistant to quantum computing attacks. Another embodiment provides file decryption controlled by a file encryption key, with the on board cryptographic processor reconstituting the file encryption key from a version of the file encryption key which has been shrouded with a network authorization code. A method for encryption of a plaintext file by hashing, compressing, and encrypting the plaintext file, hashing the ciphertext, hashing the plaintext hash and the ciphertext hash, and sealing the ciphertext together with the resulting hash. A portable encryption device for performing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: In a reel with a spool a hood and an axially aligned and substantially cup-shaped rotor partially encircling the spool, a molded monocoque frame rotor design in which the monocoque frame is molded to include various features of the rotor and in which the leading and trailing edges of the rotor are of a material substantially different from the monocoque frame.

Abstract: In a reel with an oscillation system, a sinusoidal correction force applied to the normal oscillation function to produce an improved line lay on the reel spool.

Abstract: The present fishing reel is comprised of a reel body for attaching to a fishing pole. A main shaft is positioned in the body and project out the front of the body. A spool is positioned around the front or outer end of the main shaft. A rotor is positioned around the main shaft behind the spool and is rotatable about the shaft. A pinion gear is positioned within the body around the inner end of the main shaft and is rotatable independently about the shaft. The pinion gear is fixedly connected to the rotor through a sleeve around the main shaft for simultaneous rotation. A drive gear is positioned outside the body behind the rotor and coaxial with the sleeve. The drive gear is also rotationally fixed relative to the rotor and sleeve. A lead screw is positioned in the body parallel to the main shaft. A lead screw gear is fixedly attached to a forward end of the lead screw. The lead screw gear is engaged with and driven by the drive gear.

Abstract: A fishing reel drag mechanism includes a spool for a fishing line, a brake drum attached coaxially to the spool, and a resilient circular brake shoe positioned inside the brake drum. The outer diameter of the brake shoe is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the brake drum. A gap is provided on the brake shoe, and a movable spreader is positioned in the gap. When the spreader is moved to a first position, the brake shoe is in a relaxed position spaced from the brake drum, so that the spool may rotate with zero drag. When the spreader is gradually moved to a second position, the gap is gradually expanded by the spreader, and the brake shoe is gradually expanded against the brake drum. The drag on the brake drum is thus adjusted by changing the width of the gap with the spreader. Grooves arranged concentrically around the brake shoe provide additional compliance which improves smoothness in drag application and the range of drag force provided.

Abstract: In accordance with this invention, a spinning reel having non-snagging bailing characteristics, is described. Such spinning reel together: accommodates ultra-long casts and subsequent winding of associated fishing line without tangling the line. In one aspect, the invention includes a lockable, rotatable rotor having a pair of diametrical positioned ear assemblies extending from its base, a central cylindrical housing and at its interior, a hollow pinion gear in rotational contact with the central cylindrical housing. The ear assemblies are slotted to receive a U-shaped bail wire while broad walls provide non-snag surfaces to the fishing line.
