  • Patent number: 9413623
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may include network devices, systems, and methods, including executable instructions and/or logic thereon, to check a multicast routing path. A network device includes a processing resource coupled to a memory. The memory includes program instructions executed by the processing resource to determine if a path between an initiator router and an end point router is available for transferring multicast packets, wherein the path between the initiator router and the end point router includes a number of routers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 26, 2012
    Date of Patent: August 9, 2016
    Assignee: HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT LP

  • Patent number: 8937712
    Abstract: A method of enabling an authenticating device (10) includes providing an enabling target (17); measuring one or more attributes of the enabling target with the authenticating device; comparing at least one measured attribute with a predetermined expected value; enabling the authenticating device when the at least one measured attribute matches the predetermined expected value; and operating the authenticating device.

  • Publication number: 20120313748
    Abstract: A method for authenticating security markers includes illuminating the security marker with a laser, detecting an optical response from the security marker, changing a temperature of the laser to vary the wavelength of radiation produced by the laser; detecting changes in the optical response from the security marker as the wavelength of the radiation changes, comparing the optical response profile from the security marker as it varies with changes in wavelength to a reference profile; and authenticating the security marker if the optical response profile matches the reference profile.

  • Publication number: 20120313749
    Abstract: An apparatus for authenticating security markers includes a laser or LED for illuminating the security marker; a detector for detecting an optical response from the security marker; an element for changing a temperature of the laser or LED to vary the wavelength of radiation produced by the LED; a detector for detecting changes in the optical response from the security marker as the wavelength of the radiation changes; a microprocessor for comparing the optical response profile from the security marker as it varies with changes in wavelength to a reference profile; and authenticating the security marker if the optical response profile matches the reference profile.

  • Patent number: 7924395
    Abstract: A method for delivering digital cinema concurrently to a retail exhibitor and a remote theater that includes forming a digital cinema right-to-distribute contract between a content owner and a retail exhibitor. In addition, a digital cinema movie rental contract is formed between the retail exhibitor and a remote theater user. Newly released digital cinema content is delivered both to the remote theater and to the retail exhibitor. Display of the newly released digital cinema content occurs at the remote theater as early as the display of the newly released digital cinema content at the retail exhibitor.
