20110154021 | APPARATUS AND METHOD TO PREVENT MAN IN THE MIDDLE ATTACK - A system, peripheral device, and method for authenticating an encryption key before transmitting encrypted messages containing sensitive information are provided. Authentication of a client device during the coordination of data transfer among multiple computer devices is possible by providing a peripheral device that does not have a direct connection to a network, but rather, any message to be transmitted over the network must be relayed through a client device. Any sensitive information to be transferred to a remote device is inserted into a message, then the message is encrypted in the peripheral device. This prevents any process running on the client device from fooling the client device into communicating confidential information to a third party rather than the desired remote computer, because the client device never sees the sensitive information in an unencrypted form; only the peripheral device has access to the sensitive information in an unencrypted form. | 06-23-2011 |

20140200877 | INTERSPECIES LANGUAGE WITH ENABLING TECHNOLOGY AND TRAINING PROTOCOLS - The Interspecies Language (ISL) is a method for communicating that includes a visual language, a tonal language, a training protocol that integrates them, and an enabling apparatus. The ISL visual language communicates through a display that creates a “picture” of a sentence on a touchscreen. This visual display embodies the ISL's syntax and structures how the user employs it to build sentences. Sentences are constructed by dragging icons, which are pictures or abstract images representing objects or concepts, into the structured areas of the visual array. The ISL tonal language communicates through a structured series of tones that are grouped so that tones within a grouping are members of a class of objects or concepts. The tones are sounded when an icon is placed into the visual array in the course of building a sentence. The ISL is deployed through an apparatus that includes a touchscreen, computer, chute, and industrial controls. With its clear structure for the animal's response, the ISL provides a method for meaningful, two-way communication between animals and humans or between humans. | 07-17-2014 |

20110121763 | Linear Accelerators - We propose that during the factory testing of the linac, rather than simply confirming that the beam falls within the permissible ranges set out in the standard, the beam is in fact adjusted towards a standard signature. A new (or existing) linac could then be paired to a new linac, or to an existing linac, such as one that it is to operate alongside or one that it is to replace. Treatment plans would then be transferable between such pairs of linacs. In addition, the standard signature to which the linacs were approximated could be placed towards the centre of the permitted ranges, to produce linacs that were more reliable over the very long term. This requires a linac that has automatically adjustable parameters, so that a suitable programmed computer is able to monitor the output of the linac and adjust its operating parameters. We therefore provide a radiation source comprising a linear accelerator, beam control circuitry for the linear accelerator, an electronic control apparatus for the control circuitry arranged to adjust properties thereof, and a monitor for detecting properties of the radiation beam produced by the linear accelerator, wherein the control apparatus is adapted to retain a set of beam properties and periodically activate the accelerator, measure the current beam properties via the monitor, compare the measured beam properties to the retained beam properties, and potentially adjust the control circuitry properties to align the beam properties towards the retained beam properties. The beam properties that are measured may include at least one of beam flatness and beam width. The retained beam properties can be the properties of the beam produced by the linear accelerator when new, or the properties of a standard beam. The control apparatus is preferably arranged to send a message if the difference between the measured beam properties and the retained beam properties exceeds a threshold. It may also send a message to a remote location if the difference between the measured beam properties and the retained beam properties exceeds a second threshold. | 05-26-2011 |
