  • Publication number: 20170344728
    Abstract: An authorized user obtains a packaging license that grants permission to use a particular recording device to generate multimedia content in accordance with specified license terms. The packaging license includes a content key that is used to encrypt the multimedia content at the point of capture on the recording device. The encrypted multimedia content can be transmitted via unsecure channels (for example, via electronic mail) to a networked content repository or an intended recipient. For playback, an authorized user obtains a playback license that grants permission to decrypt and playback the multimedia content using a particular playback device. An authorization server and a key management server are used to manage which users are entitled to receive a license, and to define the terms of the granted licenses. A record of the granted authorizations and licenses is maintained, thereby allowing access to a given content item to be audited.

  • Publication number: 20170319320
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method and apparatus for deploying and/or retrieving an object (e.g., a vena cava filter) in a cavity (e.g., a vena cava) using a system configured to: (i) maintain grip of the unsheathed object in the cavity until deliberately released, (ii) prevent premature release of the object in the cavity, and/or (iii) facilitate retrieval by first everting said object, then withdrawing the object through a guiding catheter (e.g., retrieval via eversion).

  • Publication number: 20170173892
    Abstract: A printer apparatus and a method for continuously printing a three-dimensional (3D) object. The printer apparatus has an elongated container for containing build fluid comprising a monomer from which the 3D object is made. A means for continuous conveying a build platform has a build surface that descending down into the build fluid. A matrix of light emitting elements are disposed above the elongated container, and emit a predetermined pattern of a reactive light toward the continuously conveyed build surface and at the upper surface of the build fluid. The reactive light has a predetermined pattern that polymerizes and/or agglomerates a portion of the upper surface of the build fluid into a build material having a build pattern comprising the build material. The build platform can have a plurality of build surface segments attached in series along a continuous conveyor.

  • Publication number: 20160208626
    Abstract: An integrally bladed rotor comprises a hub centered about an axis and having a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly of the axis across a span. Each of the blades includes an airfoil extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge, and having a pressure side and a suction side. The airfoil has a thicker portion at the trailing edge, and at a radially inner portion of the span, and over a limited percentage of the span, such that the thicker portion does not extend beyond 50 percent of the span. An axial distance is defined between the trailing edge and the leading edge. The thicker portion extends for less than 50 percent of the axial distance, and is on the pressure side. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8185741
    Abstract: Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a transport level transactional security may be converted into a persistent document signature. In one embodiment, a digital signature of an electronic mail message may be saved in a file attached to the electronic mail message. The file with the added digital signature may be saved, transmitted, received, and/or otherwise utilized independent of the original electronic mail message. A receiving node may verify the identity of an originating node based at least in part on the digital signature contained in the file. In alternative embodiment, the signature for the file may be generated at least in part on a message to be transmitted according to a secure transmission and/or file download protocol from a server to a client.

  • Patent number: 4876775
    Abstract: A method of converting a warping arrangement having two creel halves and a warper from a setup for long lots of one style to a setup for shorter lots. The method includes converting transfer package positions on each of the creel halves to running package positions and providing a yarn sheet transfer device associated with each creel half to permit the recreeling of each creel half by placing leading ends of newly recreeled yarn packages into yarn guides on the yarn sheet transfer device associated with the creel half while yarns from the other creel half are running to the warper through a yarn sheet transfer device associated with the other creel half.
