Abstract: Several problems may be encountered when hanging a door with a butt hinge. Small margins of error in the alignment of the butt hinge may lead to the door being incorrectly hung. The present invention provides a butt hinge 100 comprising receiving apertures 140 configured to selectively receive first inserts 160 or second inserts 170. The first inserts 160 comprise concentric apertures 165 and the second inserts 170 comprise eccentric apertures 175. Selection and arrangement of the inserts 160, 170 in each of the receiving apertures 140 permits adjustable positioning of attachment means therein, thereby enabling adjustable attachment of the butt hinge 100 to a surface. This makes the process of hanging the door quicker, more straightforward and less susceptible to user error.

Abstract: A computing device includes an interface configured to interface and communicate with a communication system, a memory that stores operational instructions, and processing circuitry operably coupled to the interface and to the memory that is configured to execute the operational instructions to perform various operations. The computing device processes an input value (e.g., associated with a key) based on a blinding key (e.g., homomorphic encryption) to generate a blinded value and generates an Oblivious Key Access Request (OKAR). The computing device transmits the OKAR to another computing device (e.g., associated with a Key Management System (KMS) service) and receives a blinded key therefrom that is based on a Partially-Oblivious Pseudorandom Function (P-OPRF). The computing device processes the blinded key based on the blinding key (e.g., homomorphic decryption) to generate the key (e.g., associated with the input value). In some examples, the computing device accesses secure information based on the key.

Abstract: In the electronic equipment of the present application, a center axis of a cylindrical portion 11a of a shaft 11 is eccentric with respect to a rotation center axis of the shaft 11, whereby even when a cable 21 comes closest to the shaft 11 in the turning of a first housing 1 or second housing 2, a sufficient space can be secured between the shaft 11 and the cable 21. Thus, in a turning range of the first housing 1 or second housing 2, it is highly unlikely that the shaft 11 and the cable 21 come into contact with each other, which avoids an increase in a tension of the cable 21 and wear on an insulation cover of the cable 21. By avoiding the increase in the tension of the cable 21, breakage of the electric wires in the cable 21 can be avoided.
