  • Patent number: 7600133
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system of backing up at least one encrypted computer file encrypted by an encryption filter driver running on an operating system of a computer system and restoring at least one encrypted computer file encrypted by an encryption filter driver running on an operating system of a computer system. In an exemplary embodiment, the method and system of backing up at least one encrypted computer file encrypted by an encryption filter driver running on an operating system of a computer system include (1) receiving the filename of the encrypted computer file, (2) starting a backup process for the encrypted computer file, (3) disabling the encryption filter driver for the backup process, (4) backing up the encrypted computer file via the backup process, and (5) reenabling the encryption filter driver for the backup process.

  • Patent number: 7519784
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, data processing system, and computer usable code are provided for reclaiming backup data storage space in memory. The process receives a selection to reclaim a set of memory locations associated with a set of backup copies of a selected file. The process searches a plurality of memory locations for the set of memory locations associated with the set of backup copies. The process then removes the data associated with the set of backup copies from the set of memory locations to form a set of reclaimed memory locations. The set of reclaimed memory locations are unoccupied by data associated with the set of backup copies of the selected file.

  • Publication number: 20070164169
    Abstract: The present invention provides a model train operating, sound and control system that provides a user with increased operating realism. Disclosed is a novel remote control communication capability between the user and the model trains. This feature is accomplished by using a handheld remote control on which various commands may be entered, and a Track Interface Unit that retrieves and processes the commands. The Track Interface Unit converts the commands to modulated signals (preferably spread spectrum signals) which are sent down the track rails. The model train picks up the modulated signals, retrieves the entered command, and executes it through use of a processor and associated control and driver circuitry. Another novel feature disclosed is a speed control circuit located inside the model train that is capable of continuously monitoring the operating speed of the train and making adjustments to a motor drive circuit.

  • Patent number: 7167982
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for securing decrypted files in a shared environment. A filter driver in a kernel space may be configured to control service requests to encrypted files stored in a shared area, e.g., a shared directory on a disk unit, accessible by multiple users. The filter driver may receive a service request to open an encrypted document in the shared area issued from an authorized user. Upon receiving the encrypted data, the filter driver may decrypt the encrypted data. The filter driver may subsequently store the decrypted data in a file in a non-shared area, e.g., a non-shared directory. The non-shared area may be accessible only by the authorized user that requested access to the encrypted file. By storing the decrypted data in a file in the non-shared area, a file once decrypted may be protected in a file sharing environment.

  • Publication number: 20040052857
    Abstract: A means and method for preparing vesicles and freestanding two-dimensional assemblies using aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) is described. The surface tension of the ATPS is sufficient to support the assembly of various types of particles, and provide the advantage of being biocompatible with DNA and other types of biological molecules that may be used in the assembly. Vesicles are formed by mixing chemically dissimilar compounds in appropriate concentrations and at a temperature sufficient to form a monophasic mixture. This mixture is then heated above the temperature at which the polymer mixture is monophasic, added to a lipid film, and allowed to hydrate at this elevated temperature.
