Patent number: 8108928Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes a method for traitor tracing that selects a probability distribution for the assignment of file-segment variations in a digital file. This probability distribution is selected to improve traceability for a particular size of a coalition of attackers. At least one symbol for each file-segment variation is then distributed based on the selected probability distribution.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2008Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hongxia Jin, Jeffrey Bruce Lotspiech, Nimrod Megiddo, Michael Joseph Nelson

Patent number: 7654412Abstract: In a dispensing system and process for dispensing a warm wet wipe, a wet has an aqueous solution and microencapsulated delivery vehicles including a temperature change agent capable of generating a temperature change upon contact with the aqueous solution. An activating device facilitates rupturing of the microencapsulated delivery vehicles as the wet wipe is removed from a wet wipe container to allow contact between the temperature change agent and the aqueous solution of the wet wipe to thereby dispense a warm wet wipe. In another embodiment the wet wipe in the container has an aqueous solution. A lotion having the microencapsulated delivery vehicles is disposed in a lotion container free from contact with the wet wipe. An applicator in communication with the lotion is operable to apply the lotion to the wet wipe while the wet wipe is disposed at least in part within the wet wipe container.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2006Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: John David Amundson, Frank P. Abuto, Timothy P. Clare, Michael Joseph Nelson, James Dell Milner, Wael R. Joseph, Duane Lyle McDonald, Herb Flores Velazquez

Patent number: 6830543Abstract: The present invention provides a continuous process for the manufacture of a garment. A web of fabric including opposing web side edges wherein the opposing web side edges are proximate a pair of opposing garment bottom edges of the garment is provided. The web of fabric is intermittently cut, thereby forming edges defining neck openings in the web of fabric. The opposing web side edges of the web of fabric are intermittently cut, thereby defining pairs of opposing indentations in the opposing web side edges of the web of fabric. The web of fabric is cut, thereby defining discrete garment-sized pieces. Each of the discrete garment-sized pieces of the web of fabric includes at least one neck opening, a front panel having a pair of opposing garment side edges, a back panel having a pair of opposing garment side edges, a portion of two pairs of the opposing indentations in the web side edges of the web of fabric, two garment end portions, and the pair of opposing garment bottom edges.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2001Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Richard Alberts, Michael Joseph Nelson, Brendon Frank Ribble
