Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a cryptographic encrypted computation method (400). The method involves performing a blind rotation of a ciphertext according to a test polynomial. The blind rotation results in an encrypted polynomial product of the test polynomial and a bootstrapping monomial represents the plaintext value as an exponent, modulo a modulus (q) and modulo a quotient polynomial (p(X)). The quotient polynomial p(X) divides an NTT polynomial XM?1 that allows a number-theoretic transform modulo the modulus q, e.g., q is a power of two and p(X)=XN+XN/2+1. The blind rotation is made more efficient by using the NTT, while the test polynomial is defined in such a way that the polynomial product is programmed to have desired output values for respective plaintext values as a fixed coefficient.

Abstract: A feed and cutting unit for selectively cutting and dispensing individual weight material segments from a common strip of backing material is disclosed. The feed and cutting unit comprises a feed assembly, a sensor and a cutter member. The feed assembly includes a drive roller and a follower roller that frictionally engages first and second surfaces of a strip of weight material to selectively move the strip of weight material to a cutter member. The sensor is connected to a controller and measures an amount of segmented weight material on the backing material as the strip of weight material moves past the sensor. The cutter member is actuated to separate weight material segments from the backing material by cutting at least a portion of the backing material in a gap disposed between adjacent segments. Weight apply devices that receive the segments for application to an imbalanced member, are also disclosed.
