| 20110150219 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INCREASING ENCRYPTION SYNCHRONIZATION AVAILABILITY - Methods for increasing encryption synchronization availability include collecting encryption synchronization data from a first superframe received at a gateway. The encryption synchronization data is for decrypting media in a second superframe also received at the gateway. The encryption synchronization data from the first superframe is used to form a composite encryption synchronization codeword for decrypting media in a third superframe formed by the gateway, wherein the third superframe includes the composite encryption synchronization codeword and at least a portion of the media from the second superframe. The third superframe is sent to a receiving device so that media in the third superframe can be decrypted by the receiving device using the composite encryption synchronization codeword that is included in the same superframe as the media that is being decrypted. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20090098366 | Methods of coating surfaces with nanoparticles and nanoparticle coated surfaces - Solutions containing oppositely-charged nanoparticles (NPs) deposit “patchy” coatings of alternating charge distribution on various types of materials, including polymers, elastomers, and semiconductors. Surface adsorption of the NPs is driven by cooperative electrostatic interactions and does not require chemical ligation or layer-by-layer schemes. The composition and the quality of the coatings can be regulated by the types, charges, and the relative concentrations of the NPs used and by the pH. Dense coatings can be formed on flat, curvilinear, or micropatterned surfaces. The coatings are stable against common chemicals for prolonged periods of time, and can be used in applications ranging from bacterial protection to plasmonics. | 04-16-2009 |
