20110219227 | AUTOMATED CERTIFICATE MANAGEMENT - A certificate management system provides automated management of certificate lifecycles and certificate distribution. Rather than depend upon an administrator to manually distribute and manage certificates, the system self-generates certificates, distributes the certificates to appropriate servers or other parties, and transitions from old certificates to new certificates in a well-defined manner that avoids breaking functionality. After generating one or more certificates, the system securely shares certificates in a way that parties that use them can find the new certificates without an administrator manually distributing the certificates. When it is time to update certificates, the system generates new certificates and shares the new certificates in a similar way. During a transition period, the system provides a protocol by which both old and new certificates can be used to perform authenticated access to resources, so that the transition from an old to a new certificate does not break services. | 09-08-2011 |

20090307744 | AUTOMATING TRUST ESTABLISHMENT AND TRUST MANAGEMENT FOR IDENTITY FEDERATION - A federated identity verification system includes an identity provider that provides security tokens ultimately to one or more relying parties for access by the client to services at a relying party. Specifically, the relying party can validate the security token from an identity provider (whether directly or via a client) when verifying that the received security token conforms to security configuration data previously exchanged with the identity provider. To establish the trust relationship, the identity provider and one or more relying parties exchange security configuration information through an agreed-to communication channel. The security configuration information indicates the settings that the other party needs to use for establishing, maintaining, and/or monitoring the trust relationship. The communication channel allows both parties to flexibly and continually synchronize changes to security configurations, and thus maintain, change, or end the trust relationship automatically, as desired. | 12-10-2009 |

20110018277 | HYDROKINETIC ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION SYSTEM - A Hydrokinetic Electrical Power Generation Station (HEPGS) is disclosed which converts unimpeded river, ocean and tidal flow currents into useful electrical power on a very large scale (>6 MW each). This innovative approach requires no additional structures to be built on land (or in the water), there are no fast moving components and it has little to no ecological impact to the aquatic environment. They are designed to operate well below river traffic navigating on the surface and withstand the impact of debris floating under it. They are modular in construction which allows for the setup, upgrade, monitoring and any unexpected maintenance using conventional barging technology. They can be used as the soul source of electrical power for communities close to flowing rivers (or ocean currents) or they can supplement existing power generation stations located near large rivers thus helping to reduce (and eliminate) their use of non-renewable fuel. | 01-27-2011 |
20110187112 | HYDRO-KINETICALLY POWERED ELECTRICAL GENERATOR POWER HEAD - A Hydro-kinetically Powered Electrical Generator Power Head (HyPEG PH) is disclosed which converts unimpeded run-of-river, ocean and tidal flow currents into useful mechanical power on an infinitely variable scale. This innovative design can be used with other hydropower devices, especially those that are designed to remain completely submerged and require no additional permanent structures to be built on land (or in the water). This invention has no fast moving components and it has little to no ecological impact to the aquatic environment. This invention is designed to operate well below river traffic navigating on the surface and withstand foreign object damage due to debris floating under the surface. It is compliant to, and is designed to work with, other modular hydrokinetic power electrical generation systems that use vertical axis, horizontally rotating power heads from which they extract mechanical energy to convert to useful electrical energy. | 08-04-2011 |

20090051975 | SHEET TURNAROUND ASSEMBLY - A sheet turnaround assembly including a drive shaft positioned laterally across a transport path from a processing system, a plurality of drive wheels axially coupled to and positioned in a spaced fashion along the drive shaft, and a plurality of continuous belts, one belt corresponding to each drive wheel. Each belt is positioned so that its outside surface is tensioned against and forms a desired wrap angle about the corresponding drive wheel to create an arcuate turnaround path there between extending between input and output nips formed by initial and final points of contact between the belt and the drive wheel. The sheet turnaround is configured to receive a thermally developed sheet of photothermographic imaging media from a thermal processor at the input nip via the transport path. Rotation of the drive wheels by the drive shaft causes the outside surface of each belt to run along the corresponding drive wheel and drive the developed sheet along and expel the developed sheet from the turnaround path at the output nip to an output device after turning the developed sheet from the transport path by an angle substantially equal to the wrap angle. | 02-26-2009 |
