20100314861Authentication with built-in encryption by using moire parallax effects between fixed correlated s-random layers - This invention discloses new methods and security devices for authenticating documents and valuable products which may be applied to any support, including transparent synthetic materials and traditional opaque materials such as paper. The invention relates to parallax moire shapes which occur in a compound layer consisting of the superposition of specially designed and possibly geometrically transformed s-random base layer and s-random revealing layer with a small gap between them. The base and revealing layers are formed respectively by base layer element shapes and revealing layer sampling elements positioned at s-random locations, where the base layer locations and the revealing layer locations are strongly correlated. When tilting the compound layer or changing the viewing angle, a parallax moire intensity profile of a chosen shape is seen moving in the superposition, thereby allowing the authentication of the document. A major advantage of the present invention is in its intrinsically incorporated encryption system due to the arbitrary choice of the s-random number sequences used for defining the positions of the specially designed base layer element shapes and revealing layer sampling elements that are used in this invention.12-16-2010

20090157893PERSONAL MEDIA RELAY FOR REBROADCASTING STREAMING DATA - A Personal Media Relay (PMR) is used to retransmit data in a system for point-to-point data streaming over a TCP/IP network. It is “Personal” because it is downloadable by end-users will onto their own personal computers (PCs) in order to help their other devices (e.g. a mobile device) send or receive data. The user installs the PMR, which is a software application, onto a personal computer (PC) that is perhaps more powerful and accesses higher Internet bandwidth than the Sender. Subsequently, the user streams data from the Sender to the PMR, which resends the live streaming data to potentially many Viewers. During PMR installation and configuration, users are given the option of allowing others to utilize their PMR as well for rebroadcasting streaming data.06-18-2009

20090132088TRANSFER OF KNOWLEDGE FROM A HUMAN SKILLED WORKER TO AN EXPERT MACHINE - THE LEARNING PROCESS - A learning environment and method which is a first milestone to an expert machine that implements the master-slave robotic concept. The present invention is of a learning environment and method for teaching the master expert machine by a skilled worker that transfers his professional knowledge to the master expert machine in the form of elementary motions and subdivided tasks. The present invention further provides a stand alone learning environment, where a human wearing one or two innovative gloves equipped with 3D feeling sensors transfers a task performing knowledge to a robot in a different learning process than the Master-Slave learning concept. The 3D force\torque, displacement, velocity\acceleration and joint forces are recorded during the knowledge transfer in the learning environment by a computerized processing unit that prepares the acquired data for mathematical transformations for transmitting commands to the motors of a robot. The objective of the new robotic learning method is a learning process that will pave the way to a robot with a “human-like” tactile sensitivity, to be applied to material handling, or man/machine interaction.05-21-2009

20100304095METHOD FOR PRODUCING HIGHLY MECHANICALLY DEMANDED PIECES AND SPECIALLY TOOLS FROM LOW COST CERAMICS OR POLYMERS - The present invention is directed to a method for the production of highly demanded pieces at low cost. The method is especially well suited for deep drawing dies, but also any other type of tooling. It is also very well suited for machine components of big dimensions and with high mechanical solicitations, like rotors and cages in wind mills and other big machines. The pieces or tools are cast with a low cost ceramic, like a high resistance concrete (with special mention to HPC or UHPC) or a low water admixture castable or any other low cost high mechanical resistance material (low cost ceramics or high resistance polymers are especially suited). Once cast, the working surface of the die or piece is coated with a metal, an intermetallic or a high performance ceramic. Projection or deposition techniques are used to obtain the high value working surface.12-02-2010

20120063946HOT WORK TOOL STEEL WITH OUTSTANDING TOUGHNESS AND THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY - A hot work tool steel family with exceptional thermal diffusivity, toughness (both fracture toughness and notch sensitivity resilience CVN—charpy V-notch) and trough hardenability has been developed. Mechanical resistance and yield strength at room and high temperatures (above 600° C.) are also high, because the tool steels of the present invention present a high alloying level despite the high thermal conductivity. Given the exceptional resistance to thermal fatigue and thermal shock, wear resistance can be severely increased for many applications requiring simultaneously resistance to thermal cracking and wear like is the case for some forging and some parts of die casting dies.03-15-2012
