  • Patent number: 7896872
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for treating an intervertebral disc having an inner nucleus pulposus and an outer annulus fibrosus includes a thermal probe defining proximal and distal ends and having a guidable region adjacent the distal end thereof. The guidable region is characterized by having sufficient rigidity to advance within the annulus fibrosus of the intervertebral disc in response to an axial force exerted on the proximal end of the thermal probe while having sufficient flexibility to substantially follow and conform to an azimuthal course defined by the natural striata of the annulus fibrosus. The thermal probe is adapted for connection to a thermal energy source to provide thermal energy to the annulus fibrosus to alleviate pain associated with the intervertebral disc.

  • Publication number: 20100306538
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and/or system are provided for establishing trust between an accessory device and a host device, using a global key known to both the host device and the accessory device, so that content protection for subscriber-based mobile broadcast services is provided. A secure link may be established between the accessory device and the host device so that when the accessory device receives encrypted content via a secured forward link only network, the accessory device may decrypt the content at the forward link only stack. The content is then re-encrypted/re-secured using one or more derived encryption keys and then sent to the host device where it may be decrypted and played back. A global key, unique to the particular device type of the host device, is employed to ultimately derive the session encryption keys used to re-encrypt/re-secure the content conveyed from the accessory device to the host device.

  • Publication number: 20100250835
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for protecting sensitive data in a storage device having wear leveling. In the method, a write command, with an associated sensitive write signal indicating that sensitive data is associated with the write command, is received. The sensitive data is further associated with at least one address pointing to a storage location within an initial physical storage block. The write command is executed by writing to at least one storage location within an available physical storage block, pointing the at least one address to the at least one storage location within the available physical storage block, and erasing the initial physical storage block to complete execution of the write command.
