  • Patent number: 8938074
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods of securely communicating a message between a first device and a second device using a message specific identifier is disclosed. The method begins by assembling the message specific identifier from one or more attributes associated with the message and the first device. An encryption key request is transmitted to a server, wherein the encryption key request is based upon the message specific identifier. An encryption key is received from the server, wherein the encryption key is based on the message specific identifier and a random character set. The message is encrypted using the received encryption key and the encrypted message is sent to the second device.

  • Patent number: 8619986
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods of securely communicating a message between a first device and a second device using a message specific identifier is disclosed. The method begins by receiving an encryption key request from a sending device, where the encryption key request is based upon the message specific identifier, which is associated with a plurality of attributes associated with the message and the sending device. In more detail, the message specific identifier may be an information-based indicator that is unique with respect to the message and the sending device. The method parses the encryption key request and the message specific identifier to provide an intermediate argument used to enter a current random character set that is periodically generated and stored into memory. The intermediate argument helps identify which type of encryption method is desired for use in encryption key generation.

  • Patent number: 8570177
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing sensory feedback to users of microwave oven or other thermal process stream device indicating operation in an interpretive language architecture mode. An indication is received through a device data entry mechanism that the interpretive language architecture mode of the device is to be initiated. Sensory feedback is provided indicating that the device is operating in the interpretive language architecture mode and that input data comprising a predetermined code for interpretation by the interpretive language architecture is expected. The sensory feedback may comprise flashing or illumination of specific keys on a keypad of the device data entry mechanism and may continue through entry of the input data comprising the predetermined code until completion of the resulting thermal process in the device.

    Abstract: An apparatus and methods of securely communicating a message between a first device and a second device using a message specific identifier is disclosed. The method begins by receiving the message and the message specific identifier from the first device by the second device where the message specific identifier is associated with one or more attributes associated with the message and the first device. A decryption key request is transmitted to a server in communication with the second device, wherein the decryption key request is based upon the message specific identifier received and a second device attribute. A decryption key is received from the server, wherein the decryption key is based on the message specific identifier and a stored random character set. The encrypted message is then decrypted using the received decryption key.

  • Patent number: 6698657
    Abstract: An interactive interpreter of synchronous or asynchronous selective data from an annular indicia. The annular indicia has data contained thereon that is formatted into bit-cells. The bit-cells are angularly positioned about the circumference of the annular indicia. The annular indicia may, if desired, be rotated in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction enabling the interpretation of data encoded as bit-cells. A controller with memory, the memory having stored therein a software program that provides interpretation of the data contained on the annular indicia and the directional rotation of the data. The rotation of the annular indicia may, if desired, be started and stopped at any convenient time without loss of data or reinterpreting of data. The data contained on the annular indicia may, if desired, be selectively disposed about the circumference of the annual indicia.

  • Patent number: 6681137
    Abstract: An interpretive system architecture for a seamless transfer of energy to a physical, chemical, or thermodynamic process stream, or microwave oven. The interpretive system architecture overlays the operational functions of the process stream or host microwave oven to interpret, control, and implement user independent commands. The interpretive system has at least one interpretive base class for providing operational instance to the process stream or host microwave oven. The interpretive system receives an indicia, the indicia being expressive of an externally derived predetermined compiled code disposed on the surface of a specimen, or food package, or associated thereto, the indicia communicating via at least one data entry mechanism to the process stream or host microwave oven. The interpretive system interprets the data or code and transforms it into user independent commands.

  • Patent number: 6249710
    Abstract: The present invention provides an interpretive BIOS machine for controlling the cooking of food in a microwave oven or the conduct of a physical, chemical, or thermodynamic process stream wherein the microwave oven or process stream functionally operates by user independent commands. The interpretive BIOS machine is implemented by a microprocessor or computer having a memory for the storing of a program that contains the operating instruction for the present invention. Data is received into the interpretive BIOS machine from a data entry mechanism. The data is specific code that represents a plurality of desired cooking or process instructions selected by the user of the microwave oven or process stream. The present invention interprets the received data and transforms the data into time duration(s) and scaled power level(s) settings for the microwave oven or process stream. The present invention monitors and adjusts the work performed on a specimen disposed within the microwave oven or process stream.
