| 20090217054 | SECURE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE ASSOCIATION TECHNIQUE - In an embodiment, authenticated hardware and authenticated software are cryptographically binded using symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. Cryptographically binding the hardware and software ensures that original equipment manufacturer (OEM) hardware will only run OEM software. Cryptographically binding the hardware and software protects the OEM binary code so it will only run on the OEM hardware and cannot be replicated or altered to operate on unauthorized hardware. This cryptographic binding technique is referred to herein as secure software and hardware association (SSHA). | 08-27-2009 |

| 20090298030 | Use of Ultrasound Imaging equipment in classroom as a teaching aid - The inventive process named SWITCH is a unique teaching aid for students and teachers of biology to help them better understand the basic concepts and remove the ambiguities left behind by traditional teaching methods. It utilizes a portable ultrasound machine in a class room setting to obtain real time images of internal organs of human/animal body and project them on a big screen while the audience watches. The images so produced are not only vivid and multidimensional but also carry information like organ size, shape, texture, position and physical relationship to other organs in the body. In case of heart and blood vessels the real time images demonstrate exact function of chambers and valves and flow of blood in color from arterial to venous tree. The technique aims at fortifying truthful concepts of systems in a living body from the very basic to advanced levels of biology education. It has been developed in accordance with curricular guidelines for various levels and therefore has different modules dedicated to those levels (high school, colleges, universities, technical training institutes and other professional training institutions). Modules are based on chapters of respective recommended text books and can be utilized at the beginning, during or at the end of a chapter. | 12-03-2009 |
