| 20100165812 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDIA AUTHENTICATION - A method and system for authenticating a digital optical medium, such as a CD-ROM, determine whether the medium is an unauthorized copy, or the original. The original media is created, or altered, so as to contain anomalous locations from which the transfer of data is accomplished at different rates than a standard digital copy would exhibit. One implementation of the process involves timing analysis of the differences in data transfer rates. Another implementation involves the determination of digital signatures during multiple read operations performed on a data segment. The process can be employed in systems that control access to unauthorized copies, or may be used for other informative purposes. Theft, distribution, and piracy of digital content on optical media, such as computer software (also games, video, audio, e-book content), is often accomplished by copying it directly to another disc using commonly available copy tools and recordable optical media, or the replication of media to another mass manufactured disc. The present invention, which helps to irrefutably identify a unit of optical media as the original, and can correspondingly identify any copy made by any currently available means as such a copy, may prevent an unauthorized individual from making use of any unauthorized copies. This offers significant advantages to content creators who wish to protect their products. | 07-01-2010 |

| 20080212450 | OPTICAL STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING DISTORTION REGIONS, AND A METHOD OF MODIFYING AN OPTICAL STORAGE MEDIUM TO INCLUDE DISTORTION REGIONS - Theft, distribution, and piracy of digital content on optical media (software, video, audio, e-books, any content of any kind that is digitally stored and distributed) is often accomplished by copying it directly to another disc using commonly available copy tools and recordable optical media, or the copying of media to another mass manufactured disc. Methods which cause—the copy process to become lengthy and inconvenient, or which produce copies that are significantly measurably different from the original and therefore be recognizable as copies, deter or prevent an unauthorized individual from making copies. This is accomplished by modifying the optical path of an optical medium to include regions of selective distortion. This, in turn, modifies the read operation of the data in the regions, which can be used to identify and authenticate the medium. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090049303 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DATA DELIVERY AND REPRODUCTION - Methods and apparatus for processing title data watermarked with a code. At least a portion of the title data may be watermarked at a plurality of locations within the title data with customer information data, so that the title data provided to a customer includes the watermark information. To obtain the code from the watermarked title data, watermarking information associated with the watermarked title data is first received. The watermarking information identifies a plurality of locations and a number to frequency modulation relationship at each of the locations. A different modulation scheme may be used at each location. The watermarked title data is demodulated at each of the plurality of placement locations based on the number to frequency modulation relationship. The code is then generated from the demodulated watermarked title data. A verification indication is output based in part on the generated code. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20100122349 | Systems and methods for preventing unauthorized use of digital content - Theft, distribution, and piracy of digital content (software, video, audio, e-books, any content of any kind that is digitally stored and distributed) is generally accomplished by copying it, if possible, or, if it is protected from being copied in any fashion, such piracy is based upon a number of reverse engineering techniques. Aside from the straightforward copying of unprotected content, all of these other methods require first an understanding of the protective mechanism(s) guarding the content, and finally an unauthorized modification of that protection in order to disable or subvert it. Methods which prevent a skilled individual from using reverse engineering tools and techniques to attain that level of understanding and/or prevent anyone from performing such modifications can offer significant advantages to content creators who wish to protect their products. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100125910 | Systems and methods for media authentication - A method and system for authenticating a digital optical medium, such as a CD-ROM, determine whether the medium is an unauthorized copy, or the original. The original media is created, or altered, so as to contain anomalous locations from which the transfer of data is accomplished at different rates than a standard digital copy would exhibit. One implementation of the process involves timing analysis of the differences in data transfer rates, and does not necessarily require the retrying of data reads, nor does the process require the media to exhibit fatal errors, as in conventional approaches. The process can be employed in systems that control access to unauthorized copies, or may be used for other informative purposes. Theft, distribution, and piracy of digital content on optical media, such as computer software (also games, video, audio, e-book content), is often accomplished by copying it directly to another disc using commonly available copy tools and recordable optical media, or the replication of media to another mass manufactured disc.

| 20100303916 | ENHANCED DRUG DELIVERY WITH ORIENTABLE PARTICLES - Small airway deposition of orientable drug particles in the lung due to interception is increased through alignment of these particles with an externally applied force such as a magnetic field. Drug particles in one embodiment are made magnetically responsive by loading them with magnetic nanoparticles. Elongated particles have a natural tendency to align parallel to the direction of flow through an airway, and therefore also parallel to airway walls; accordingly, alignment with a magnetic field to any other orientation increases interception, with a maximum increase for alignment perpendicular to airway walls. By positioning a magnetic field across a specific site within the lung, for example in the area of a tumor, the increase in deposition by interception allows localized targeting of inhaled drug particles to that area. | 12-02-2010 |
