Abstract: A security and protection device (1) for protection of the data and executable codes of any fixed or portable computer system and that has a memory medium to be protected. The security and protection device (1) is located physically between the computer system (2) and the memory medium (MP) to be protected, in order to allow the computer system (2) access to the data and codes to be protected after execution of the protection functions independently of the machine code executed by the computer system (2) and requires no interaction with the processor of the system for the execution of these functions.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, an electronic-acoustic device which is responsive to at least one input signal comprises: a spatial orientation sensor for detecting the vertical direction; a sound channel distributor/director for providing a plurality of output signals, and which is jointly responsive to such at least one input signal and to the spatial orientation sensor; a multi-channel amplifier which is responsive to a the plurality of output signals of the sound channel distributor/director; and a loudspeaker array which is responsive to the multi-channel amplifier for producing different sets of output sounds in the various spatial orientations of the device.

Abstract: An adsorption drying apparatus, in particular for drying a compressed gas, includes an adsorption chamber (11) having a plurality of adsorption conduits (101) containing an adsorption material (123), a first feeding line (106) and a first discharging line (109) disposed at a first end (111) of the adsorption chamber (11), and a second feeding line (108) and a second discharging line (107) disposed at a second end (112) of the adsorption chamber (11). The adsorption chamber (11) is rotatable with respect to the feeding and discharging lines (106, 107, 108, 109) so that the adsorption conduits may be fluidically connected in temporal alternation, wherein the gas is dried in a drying sector (102), and the adsorption material (123) is regenerated in the regeneration sector (103). The first feeding line (106) is configured such that the gas stream to be dried may be fed to the regeneration sector (103) as a full flow.

Abstract: A device for the secured start-up of a computer installation comprising a first connection interface to the computer installation and a second connection interface to an external data medium unit separate from the computer installation and which contains data and executable codes for a start-up program of the computer installation. The device also includes means for securing the use of data and executable codes and for transmitting data and executable codes of the start-up program from the external data medium unit via the second connection interface to the computer installation via the first connection interface, and after executing the means of security, to start-up the computer installation using transmitted executable codes and data.

Abstract: A client application (16) establishes in a client network (10), a first connection having a first security level, directly with a first port (1) of a server application (17) hosted in a server machine (13) linked to a server network (11), in order to send messages addressed to the server machine (13). The messages pass from the client network (10) to the server network (11) through a network layer (CR) of a gateway machine (9). In the gateway machine, a secure application proxy reroutes the messages from the first connection, in a way that is transparent for the client application, and establishes a second connection having a second security level with the server application; the second connection is unknown to the client application.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device comprises: A housing, the housing further comprising a first surface; A sound producing transducer array further comprising a plurality of sound producing transducers; the sound producing transducer array being located on the first surface of the housing; a first set of input audio signals being applied to the sound producing transducers when the electronic device is in a first spatial orientation; and a second set of input audio signals being applied to the sound producing transducers when the electronic device is in a second spatial orientation.
