20090279689SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AUTHENTICATION - Disclosed herein are systems, methods and computer readable media for performing authentication. The proposed scheme utilizes new algorithms that introduce randomness using a physical value for authentication. An exemplary method includes sharing an initial state value S(11-12-2009
20090279696SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PERFORMING AUTHENTICATION - Disclosed herein are systems, method and computer readable medium for providing authentication of an entity B by an entity A. In the method, entity A selects a value p, a range [a, b] and a granularity epsilon. Entity A sends p, [a, b], and epsilon to entity B. Entity B initializes a value y11-12-2009
20100076778Method and System for Providing and Maintaining Limited-Subscriptions to Digital Media Assets - Systems, graphical user interfaces and methods for upgrading from one or more digital media assets to a set of digital media assets over a network are described. A potential purchaser can be notified of available upgrade opportunities that are available for purchase. The potential purchaser can elect to pursue an upgrade opportunity so as to purchase a set of digital media assets. Upon upgrading to the set of digital media assets, the digital media assets within the set of digital media assets are made available to the purchaser. According to one aspect, a graphical user interface facilitates presenting and requesting upgrade opportunities. According to another aspect, equivalency rules and/or eligibility rules can be used to control which sets of digital media assets are available for upgrade by respective potential purchasers.03-25-2010

20100100947SCHEME FOR AUTHENTICATING WITHOUT PASSWORD EXCHANGE - Aspects relate to systems and methods implementing a scheme allowing a Verifier (V) to authenticate a Prover (P). The scheme comprises pre-sharing between V and P a graph of nodes. Each node is associated with a polynomial. V sends P data comprising data for selecting a polynomial of the graph, such as traversal data for proceeding from a known node to another node, a time interval, and a number k. P uses the time interval in an evaluation of the polynomial. P then uses the evaluation as a λ in a Poisson distribution, and determines a value related to a probability that a number of occurrences of an event equals k. P sends the determined value to V. V performs a similar determination to arrive at a comparison value. P authenticates V if the separately determined values match, or otherwise meet expectations. The process can be repeated to increase confidence in authentication.04-22-2010

20100247371REVERSIBLE COLOR-CHANGING SANITIZER-INDICATING NONWOVEN WIPE - A nonwoven wipe having a reversible sanitizer indicator for multiple uses and recharges is provided. The nonwoven wipe includes a cloth-like nonwoven fabric coated with a reversible color-changing ink formulation. During use, the nonwoven wipe is impregnated with a quaternary ammonium compound-based sanitizer. When the level of free quaternary ammonium compound falls below a threshold level, the color-changing ink formulation changes from a first color to a second color, indicating the need to recharge the wipe. When the nonwoven wipe is recharged with sanitizer solution, the color-changing ink formulation changes back to the first color.09-30-2010

20090013312Executable High-Level Trace File Generation System and Method - An executable high-level trace file generation system and method provide reduced debugging effort and time, particularly on initial startup of new or modified hardware. An executable program invokes high-level application programming interfaces (APIs), to perform various tasks. Instructions within the APIs generate a trace file documenting the invoked sequence of APIs by writing a line to a trace file that documents the API and input parameters received by the API. Upon completion of execution of the API, the return value may be documented as a comment line in the trace file. The resulting trace file is then re-executable as a script and may be edited to alter the sequence of APIs invoked and/or the arguments provided. The script interpreter may be a command line interface through which the APIs are invoked, and trace files may be similarly generated that document sequences of manually entered commands.01-08-2009
20090265044Preemptive Thermal Control by Processor Throttling in a Modular Computing System - A modular computing housing includes a housing structure having a plurality of component slots that each can receive one of a plurality of components, where at least one of the components includes a processor having an operating frequency. A cooling system provides airflow through each of said component slots. A thermal control system can be communicably connected to each of the component slots and each of the received component processors. When the thermal control system receives configuration data from each of the component slots, retrieves throttle data corresponding to the configuration data and directs at least one received component processors to reduce its operating frequency in accordance with the throttle data.10-22-2009
