20100270797 | WAVE ENERGY APPARATUS - In a wave energy apparatus vertical movement of a float suspended in a body of water drives a power generator. Motion of the float is controlled by taking advantage of the movement of water on the upper surface of the float body. The upper surface can be used to generate hydrodynamic forces acting downwardly against the upward forces acting on the lower surface of the float body, effectively damping its movement in the presence of waves that might otherwise provoke undesirably large vertical movement of the float. The movement of water onto the upper surface can be controlled by adjusting the depth at which the float is suspended. | 10-28-2010 |

20080275917 | Itso Fvc2 Application Monitor - The invention provides an ITSO-based smartcard system including a programmable smartcard device for use in the ITSO scheme carrying a file system and operating software enabling the on-device file system to interface with at least one off-device ITSO application. At the interface, the off-device ITSO application is permitted to access and/or modify data in the on-device file system. The programmable smartcard device comprises monitoring means operable to monitor the sequence of operations carried out by the off-line application in accessing and/or modifying data in the on-device files and to restrict or prevent further access or modifications to such data if that sequence of operations does not meet predetermined criteria. Preferably, the monitoring means includes a state engine capable of being set to one of a plurality of states, at least one of which is an error state, in which further modification to the data in some or all of the on-device files is prevented until the sequence of operations is restarted. The system may also be such that inter-engagement of the smartcard device with the interface device causes the interface device to generate a session key used in the encryption/decryption of data and/or commands during a sequence of operations carried out to access and/or modify data carried by the programmable smartcard device. Preferably, completion of a sequence of operations to modify data on the programmable smartcard device causes the interface device to open a new session and to generate a second session key and to use that second session key to verify that the required data has been modified in accordance with the intended sequence of operations. The invention is thus capable of providing an ITSO based system with better protection against fraud. | 11-06-2008 |
