  • Patent number: 7296299
    Abstract: A tamper-evident and/or tamper-resistant electronic module comprising an electronic component embedded in an encapsulant material and at least one thin sheet of frangible material contacting and overlying said encapsulant material and overlying said component, said sheet being sufficiently thin that it is likely to crack or break if an attempt is made to drill or cut through it with a laser drill.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: November 13, 2007
    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
    Inventors: Gary Schwenck, Mark Corio, Jim Colton, Keith Alexander Harrison
  • Publication number: 20070182826
    Abstract: A system and method for wirelessly retrieving information is disclosed. The system and method include a digital icon which is provided on a product or a printed publication or incorporated with printed or stenciled or other copy and which digitally encodes a captured image of the digital icon for transmission to a resolving host for the purpose of accessing and retrieving pertinent information relevant to the printed copy. A camera-enabled wireless electronic device can be used to capture an image of the digital icon and encoding software transmutes the digitally captured image into a value for transmission to a resolving host for the purpose of accessing and retrieving the pertinent information. If desired, a purchase of a product or service can be made through this system or the information can be accessed from an information source such as an Internet URL or other content or data source for the informational enhancement and enjoyment of the user.

  • Patent number: 7065656
    Abstract: A tamper evident electronic module comprises an electronic component, a tamper evident sheet, and encapsulant material. Said component is encapsulated in the encapsulant material and the sheet overlies the component, and the sheet comprises a flexible multi-layer sheet, a plurality of the layers of the sheet being selected from the group below: (i) an electromagnetic radiation shield layer; (ii) a tell-tale electrically conductive trip wire defining a convoluted meandering pathway on the layer, the trip wire meandering in a pattern which substantially covers the electronic component in a space filled area if the layer; (iii) a layer having the features of (ii), and in which the pathway comprises a fractual pattern; (iv) a layer having the features of (ii), and in which a second tell-tale trip wire extends alongside a first tell-tale trip wire so that they meander as a spaced pair. (v) an active electromagnetic marking layer adapted to emitt electromagnetic radiation.

  • Patent number: 6330648
    Abstract: The invention is embodied in a computer including a memory and a memory protector responsive to a list of key memory locations containing information to be protected, the memory protector including (a) a write protection circuit—operating independently of the computer—which prevents any write requests specifying the memory locations contained in the list from being carried out, and (b) a manual protect enable switch for enabling and temporarily disabling the write protection circuit, thus allowing special or temporary access to the protected memory locations. The write protection circuit may be implemented as a programmed microprocessor with its program stored in a non-volatile read-only memory, or as a dedicated hard-wired logic circuit, such as a field programmable gate array. The list of key memory locations may be stored in a non-volatile memory accessed by the write protection circuit. More conveniently, the list is contained in a protected memory location (i.e.
