  • Publication number: 20140283010
    Abstract: Tenants in a multi-tenant shared deployment are provided their own distinct key spaces over which they control a key management system. In this manner, virtual key management domains are created on a per-tenant (per-customer) basis so that, whenever a particular customer's data is co-tenanted, stored, transmitted or virtualized in the IT infrastructure of the provider's datacenter(s), it is secured using key management materials specific to that customer. This assures that the entirety of a tenant's data remains secure by cryptographically isolating it from other tenants' applications. The virtual key management domains are established using a broadcast encryption (BE) protocol and, in particular, a multiple management key variant scheme of that protocol.

  • Publication number: 20140207092
    Abstract: A system for providing reduced-pressure treatment to a moveable tissue site, such as a joint, includes a flexible dressing bolster. The flexible dressing bolster has a first side and a second, inward-facing side, and a plurality of flexion joints formed on the flexible dressing bolster. The system further includes a sealing subsystem for providing a fluid seal over the flexible dressing bolster and the patient's epidermis and a reduced-pressure subsystem for delivering a reduced pressure to the sealing subsystem. The sealing subsystem and reduced-pressure subsystem are operable to deliver a reduced pressure to the moveable tissue site. The flexible dressing bolster is operable to allow articulation or movement of the moveable tissue site. The sealing subsystem may include a drape with folds. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented.

  • Patent number: 8747375
    Abstract: A system for treating a linear wound on a patient has a closing dressing bolster for placing on the patient's epidermis over the linear wound, a sealing subsystem for providing a seal over the closing dressing bolster and the patient, and a reduced-pressure subsystem for delivering reduced pressure to the sealing subsystem. The sealing subsystem and reduced pressure subsystem are operable to deliver reduced pressure to the closing dressing bolster. The closing dressing bolster is operable under reduced pressure to develop a inward closing. The closing dressing bolster may include one or more closing members on each side of a center wound area to create the inward closing when under reduced pressure. A compressive force may also be developed. Other systems and methods are presented.

  • Publication number: 20140047280
    Abstract: A method, computer system, and computer program captures diagnostic trace information in a computer system having a plurality of software images. Information is received that is associated with a first failure in a first one of the plurality of software images. The received information is distributed to others of the plurality of software images. Further information is captured that is associated with a second failure in another one of the plurality of software images. The information associated with a first failure in a first one of said plurality of software images is combined with the information associated with a second failure in another of said plurality of software images, and the combined information is analyzed in order to determine a cause of the first failure.

  • Patent number: 8614799
    Abstract: A method of paged memory management for a software process executing in a memory of a computer system, the software process having a first operating mode and a second operating mode, and the software process having associated memory page use information for determining a set of pages to be maintained in the memory. The method comprises recording the memory page use information to a data store as first operating mode memory page use information in response to a determination that the software process leaves the first operating mode, and retrieving the first operating mode memory page use information in response to a determination that the software process enters the first operating mode.

  • Patent number: 8571209
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to obtaining forensic information for an anonymous attack of digital content without variations in a broadcast encryption system. In one embodiment a media device, being configured to record digital content on recordable media, receives digital content, a unified media key block, and a recording key table. The device calculates a set of recording keys from the recording key table using a media key variant from the unified media key block. The device then generates a title key and encrypts by the digital content in the generated title key. The device then encrypts the generated title key in each one of the calculated recording keys, adds a header including the encrypted titles keys to the encrypted digital content, and stores the encrypted digital content with the header on recordable media.

  • Publication number: 20120078945
    Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for interactively associating a semantic concept with a unique term that is input by a user. As the user is creating a document and/or once the user has completed a draft of the document, the document is parsed to identify unique terms (e.g., persons, places, things, services, etc.) in the document. When a unique term is identified, a query is generated to locate one or more semantic concepts (e.g., URLs, URNs, or other identifiers, for example) that are associated with the identified unique term and a notification indicative of the results is generated. From this notification, the user can select whether to associate the unique term with any and/or all of the located semantic concepts. In this way, supplemental content may be added to a document that the user is creating, for example.
