  • Patent number: 7065655
    Abstract: A method is disclosed comprising placing a first device in an enclosure, placing a second device in the enclosure, sealing the enclosure, and after sealing the enclosure, causing the first device to exchange a key with the second device. After the key exchange, the first and second devices can be taken out of the enclosure and can use the key to communicate with each other securely and in an authenticated manner. The devices may be electronic devices or optical devices. The enclosure prevents electromagnetic radiation of a certain bandwidth from escaping and thus prevents an adversarial device from eavesdropping on communication between the first and second devices. The enclosure may include a filtering material such as a metal net. The enclosure may be, for example, a plastic bag or a glass container.

  • Publication number: 20020154460
    Abstract: An insulating member is used on or with a high-voltage probe that applies a voltage to the anode of a cathode ray tube during manufacture of the tube. If there are flaws in the frit seal of the tube, the probe produces arcing through the flaw into a grounded, conductive band disposed around the exterior of the frit seal. The insulating member is placed between the high-voltage probe tip and the grounded band around the frit seal. Consequently, the insulating member prevents electrical arcing external to the cathode ray tube between the high-voltage probe and the grounded band. Such arcing would otherwise interfere with the testing of the frit seal and could possibly damage the test equipment.

The shell has sidewalls that terminate in a flange extending at an angle to the sidewalls. The flange has a lower surface for electrically coupling the shell to a predetermined electrical potential and an upper surface for engaging a structure, preferably a protruding rib from a cover, that exerts a compressive force on the top surface for urging the lower surface into an electrical coupling arrangement with an underlying planar conductor carrying the predetermined electrical potential (e.g., ground). The lower surface can include or be placed upon a layer of electrically conductive compliant material, such as a conductive adhesive. At least one of the sidewalls can include a projecting fluted structure having a size and location that is predetermined to engage a side of the structure that exerts the compressive force.
