| 20090175452 | Key Management and User Authentication for Quantum Cryptography Networks - Key management and user authentication systems and methods for quantum cryptography networks that allow for users securely communicate over a traditional communication link (TC-link). The method includes securely linking a centralized quantum key certificate authority (QKCA) to each network user via respective secure quantum links or “Q-links” that encrypt and decrypt data based on quantum keys (“Q-keys”). When two users (Alice and Bob) wish to communicate, the QKCA sends a set of true random bits (R) to each user over the respective Q-links. They then use R as a key to encode and decode data they send to each other over the TC-link. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100241912 | Fast bit-error rate calculation mode for QKD systems - A fast bit-error rate (F-BER) calculation mode for a QKD system is disclosed, wherein the method includes establishing versions of a sifted key in respective sifted-bits (SB) buffers in respective QKD stations (Alice and Bob). The method also includes sending Alice's version of the sifted key to Bob, and Bob performing a comparison of the two sifted key versions. The number of bit errors between the two sifted key versions relative to the length of the sifted key yields the F-BER. The F-BER is calculated much more quickly than the conventional BER calculation (“N-BER”), which involves performing a relatively complex error-correction algorithm. The F-BER calculation mode is particularly useful in quickly setting up and/or calibrating a QKD system, and can be repeated quickly to provide updated BER measurements after each QKD system adjustment. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110103597 | Medic voice data system - A medical voice data system includes a hand-held recording device, an electronic information carrier (EIC), and a host station.

A microphone is operably connected to the recording electronics to record on a EIC medical information about the injured person. The EIC is configured to be attached to and travel with the person as they are evacuated so that the recorded medical information is immediately available to medical personnel at a care center via the host station. The medical voice data system may also employ a wireless EIC. A host station is used to receive and process the recorded information and convert it to text-based medical record. | 05-05-2011 |
