| 20090158043 | SECURE DIGITAL SIGNATURE SYSTEM - The illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for receiving a request from a client to instantiate an electronic document. After successful completion of mutual authentication between a web application server and the client, the web application server provides the electronic document to the client. The web application server may then receive a set of changes associated with the electronic document to form a modified document. After receiving a request from the client for a digital signature to be generated for the modified document, the web application server generates a digital signature using a private key of the web application server and an identity of an end-user associated with the client.

The application server then sends a proxy document request back to the client, wherein the proxy document request identifies the first location. The client then forwards the proxy document request to a web service. The web service generates a web service response, by resolving the proxy document request to the first location. The web service response is stored at a second location. A proxy web service response can then sent from the web service back to the client, wherein the proxy web service response identifies the second location. The client then forwards the proxy web service response to the application server. The application server generates a document response, by resolving the proxy web service response to the second location. The application server then forwards the document response to the client. | 07-02-2009 |

| 20080211724 | Millimetre-Wave Detection Device for Discriminating Between Different Materials - The detection device that can be used for detecting objects behind clothing etc including a dielectric lens and a receive element sensitive to millimetre wave radiation. Prior art systems produce an image of a scene usually using scanning optics. This can be large and expensive. The present invention instead takes spot readings from different parts of a scene without building up an image. The spot readings are processed, and an indication given to a user if certain characteristics of the readings are observed. Typical characteristics used are the differences in absolute received power level, and the power level at different polarisations. Such characteristics are typically present is an object of interest is in the scene. Also disclosed are various methods of altering the received beam to get readings from different areas from the scene, such as changing the beam width, or beam angle. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20110149081 | Sensor with obscurant detection - A sensor having a detector array is provided with means for determining whether the normal field of view of the sensor has been obscured. The image output from the detector array is compared by a processor to an image of the normal filed of view, previously acquired and stored in a memory. Where there are significant differences between the images the processor activates an alarm. The location of high spatial frequency detail in the image may be compared and the absence of such detail used to give an indication that the sensor may be masked. | 06-23-2011 |
