| 20090015549 | Accepting User Input - The invention is directed to an improvement in mechanisms and techniques for accepting user input. An apparatus for accepting a user input is described comprising a display, and a plate and a control knob positioned over the display. A portion of the display is visible through the plate, and a portion of the control knob is optically transparent such that information displayed by the display is visible through the control knob. In some examples, the control knob functions as both a rotary input and as a push button input. The control knob may function as a push button input through a transfer of force through the plate to a pressure sensing switch associated with the plate. The control knob may function as a rotary control through drive gears, belts, or interaction with a light emitter and detector. | 01-15-2009 |

| 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 |

| 20090141434 | COMPUTER MEMORY SOCKET PARTICULATE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - A cover for memory sockets of a computer memory module includes a face panel spaced away from the memory sockets. The cover is held in place via latches associated with the memory sockets. Tabs are spaced along opposite sides of the cover to define openings for the memory sockets. Members span between opposite pairs of tabs to define air passageways underneath the cover. Each member resides between an adjacent pair of memory sockets. | 06-04-2009 |
