20110135097Updating Encryption Keys in a Radio Communication System - Encryption keys in a communication system are updated according to rekey groups having a common set of encryption keys or CKRs. Each group includes a number of radios with active and inactive keysets. A database records the relationships between rekey groups and keys, and the status of their keysets. An operator first determines one or more keys to be updated. New keys are then transmitted to each radio in one or more rekey groups using respective rekey messages. The new keys are stored in the inactive keysets of the radios. The inactive keysets are then activated using respective changeover messages. Deployment of new keys is carried out by software in the form of automated update tasks.06-09-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110199000CHARGED PARTICLE ACCELERATOR AND RADIATION SOURCE - A method of accelerating charged particles using a laser pulse fired through a plasma channel contained in a capillary, wherein the plasma waveguide has deviations along its length that cause deviations in the plasma density contained therein, the deviations in plasma density acting to promote charged particle injection into a wake of a passing laser pulse. A radiation source based on a laser-driven plasma accelerator in a plasma waveguide in which the plasma waveguide and/or laser injection process is/are controlled so as to produce an undulating path for the laser pulse through the waveguide, the undulation exerting a periodic transverse force on charged particles being accelerated in the wake of the laser pulse, the resulting charged particle motion causing controlled emission of high frequency radiation pulses.08-18-2011
