20110197059SECURING OUT-OF-BAND MESSAGES - Securing an out-of-band message from a server to a mobile computing device. After requesting a service ticket from a trusted third party (e.g., via a pre-existing ticketing infrastructure), the requested service ticket and a shared secret are obtained from the trusted third party via a first channel. The mobile computing device thereafter sends the service ticket with the shared secret to a server via a second channel. The server encrypts a message (e.g., an SMS message) using the shared secret. The mobile computing device receives the encrypted message from the server via a third channel that is out-of-band relative to the first channel. The encrypted message is decrypted via the shared secret and the decrypted message is provided to a user of the mobile computing device. In some embodiments, the message includes commands for controlling the mobile computing device.08-11-2011

20100314804METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF SEMICONDUCTOR RIBBONS FROM A GASEOUS FEEDSTOCK - The present invention provides a method for the production of semiconductor ribbons using exclusively a gaseous feedstock. A fine powder of semiconductor material is produced by decomposition, within the gas phase, of a gaseous feedstock. A layer of this semiconductor powder is uniformly distributed, compressed and flattened over a planar substrate, which is continuously moving in one direction. This said layer of semiconductor powder is, in the following stage, heated to a temperature sufficient to decompose the said gaseous feedstock on its surface. A continuous flow of the said gaseous feedstock over said powder layer is ensured so that a solid plate of semiconductor material grows over the said layer of semiconductor powder. After the growth stage, during which the solid plate has grown to a convenient thickness, the said solid plate of semiconductor material is separated from the said layer of semiconductor powder and substrate. This self supporting plate is then heated to a high temperature in an atmosphere containing gaseous feedstock to complete its growth and become a ribbon with the appropriate structural properties for further processing. The present invention is applicable, for example, in the industry of silicon ribbon production for photovoltaic application.12-16-2010

20080296241Device for Distributing at Least One Displaying Accessory on a Goods Display Surface - The invention relates to a device for distributing at least one displaying accessory on a goods display surface, such as a shelf surface, cabinet or the similar. The displaying accessory can be a separating partition or a goods display cabinet formed of a carriage sliding on a tracking path. The device includes at least one first guide fixable to the proximal part of the display surface and extendable over the surface, generally along the longitudinal axis thereof. The first guide interacts with a clamp of the displaying accessory for fixing the accessory to the display surface. The device also includes a holder provided at the level of the first guide and, in the first release position, the holder enables at least one displaying accessory to be moved or even to be released. In a second position, the holder strongly fixes at least one displaying accessory to the first guide.12-04-2008
20090049724Tag-Holder, Such As In Particular for Displaying an Electronic Price Tag - The invention concerns a tag-holder for displaying an electronic price tag. The invention includes a holder for a tag, such as an electronic price tag, and a fixing mechanism adapted to be secured at the front of a shelf, in particular, a rack. The invention is characterized in that the fixing mechanism has an eccentric device, clipping the shelf so as to adjust and/or maintain the tag holder on shelves of different thicknesses.02-26-2009
20090064554TAG HOLDER FIXED IN A RAIL - The invention concerns a tag holder including a support for displaying information, such as a price tag, as well as fixing mechanism adapted to cooperate with a slide or rail provided at the front of a display surface, such as the surface of a shelf of a rack. The fixing mechanism includes a staple with a terminal engagement device cooperating with a lateral end of the slide, and a hinge adapted to enable a first position of the staple inserted into the slide and a second position of the staple internally locked.03-12-2009
20090174161TROLLEY WHICH CAN BE USED, FOR EXAMPLE, TO TRANSPORT GOODS, COMPRISING SUPPORT MEANS ON WHICH TWO BASKETS CAN BE STACKED - The trolley or shopping cart can be used to transport goods. This trolley includes a support on which two baskets can be stacked on top of one another, a first lower basket and a second upper basket. The support has at least two lateral posts or stanchions which can be engaged directly or indirectly to the baskets on two opposing sides to create a clearance providing direct access to the opening in the lower and upper baskets from the side used to drive the trolley. The position of the lower basket is offset substantially in relation to the upper basket, such that the lower basket extends out further on the side used to drive the trolley.07-09-2009
20100024270DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING SIGNAGE, SUCH AS IN PARTICULAR ADVERTISING SHEET OR THE LIKE, ON SHELVING IN A SALES AREA - The invention relates to a device for the display of a tagging item, such as in particular an advertising leaflet, or the like, on a shelf of a selling surface.
