Abstract: An Internet-connected device, such as a car, refrigerator, or even a laptop can use a second device, such as a cell phone, to support cryptographic operations and communication with token service providers or other processing services requiring pre-provisioned capabilities that may include cryptographic secrets. By removing the need to store personally sensitive data in “Internet of Things” (IoT) devices, a user's personal information and other sensitive financial information may be contained to a relatively small number of devices. This may help prevent theft of goods or services by IoT devices that are not always under the close control of the user.

Abstract: In certificate chain validation, a parent certificate is used to validate a child certificate. The child certificate can indicate which parent certificate can be used to validate it. In some situations, a child certificate may not contain a certificate authority identifier that can be used to identify the parent certificate. Instead, the child certificate can contain a hash value of a modulus of the parent public key that can be used to identify the parent certificate. The hash value of the modulus of the parent public key can be associated with the parent public key. As such, the parent public key used in certificate chain validation of the child certificate can be identified using the hash value of the modulus of the parent public key.

Abstract: In a method of loading checked luggage on unit load devices corresponding to an aircraft having a passenger compartment, each piece of checked luggage is associated with a unique identifier. Each piece of checked luggage is weighed and its weight is associated with its corresponding unique identifier. A best possible luggage placement is calculated considering a distribution of passenger weight, thereby allowing the passengers to sit at their preferred location rather than by pre-allocation. A desired placement of the checked luggage is calculated based on the weight of each piece of checked luggage, the acceptable distribution of weight in the passenger compartment and overall fuel state over mission profile.

Abstract: An adjustable blade root spring device for turbine blade fixation in turbomachinery. The device is designed to be placed in a space in a rotor disk cavity adjacent to a tip of a blade root, where the device applies a radial outward force on the turbine blade to fix the blade position in the rotor disk. The device includes a wave spring with integral end blocks which is compressed by a bolt and a coil spring. When the wave spring is compressed in length, it increases in height and makes contact with the rotor disk and the turbine blade. The force of the wave spring on the turbine blade can be adjusted via the bolt, and the coil spring provides an increased compliance range. The body of the device has an oblong cross-sectional shape, thereby preventing rotation of the device in the space between the blade and the disk.
