  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTHENTICATING A SECURITY DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150172292
    Abstract: Methods for authenticating a security device at a local network location for providing a secure access from the local network location to a remote network location are provided. A security device is registered by installing private security software on the security device that generates an asymmetrical encryption key pair including an encryption key and a decryption key. The encryption key is stored only on the security device and the decryption key is stored only on a remote server. Embodiments of the present invention provide increased security by not storing the encryption key on the remote server so that attackers stealing data from the server cannot pretend to a user having the registered security device. A corresponding system for authenticating a security device is also provided.

  • Fabricating Information Inside Physical Objects for Imaging in the Terahertz Region
    Publication number: 20150170013
    Abstract: The infrastruct fabrication and imaging technique described herein uses digital fabrication techniques to embed information inside objects and THz imaging to later decode this information. Information is encoded in a digital model to create structured transitions between materials. Digital fabrication is used to precisely manufacture the digital model with material transitions enclosed internally. A THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (TDS) system is used to create a volumetric image of the object interior. The volumetric image is processed to decode the embedded structures into meaningful information.

  • SELECTABLE CONTROL FOR HIGH INTENSITY LED ILLUMINATION SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN CONSTANT COLOR TEMPERATURE ON A LIT SURFACE
    Publication number: 20150173147
    Abstract: A lighting system includes a group of light emitting diode (LED) illumination devices, each of which includes a device driver. One or more sensors are configured to measure a characteristic of light received from the devices in an area of an environment that is illuminated by the devices. A controller detects when a value of the measured light characteristic received by a sensor deviates from a desired value. When this happens, the controller will cause the device drivers for each of the LED illumination devices to control LEDs in each illumination device so that the desired color temperature of light will be received at the location of the sensor while maintaining a substantially constant illuminance level at the location.

  • VIRTUAL MACHINE IMAGE MANAGEMENT USING DELTA TREES
    Publication number: 20150169355
    Abstract: Redo logs are used to facilitate efficient cloning of virtual machines. When a virtual machine with a virtual hard disk is to be cloned, two redo logs are created, both of which are linked to the virtual hard disk. The virtual machine being cloned is then linked to one redo log, and a newly created virtual machine is linked to the other. Each time an additional virtual machine is created, two new redo logs are created and linked to the end of the disk chain. The parent and newly created virtual machine are each linked to one of the new redo logs.
