189results about How to "Protected content" patented technology

In a class of embodiments, the invention is an open computing system (e.g., a PC) in which a protected, closed subsystem is embedded. The closed subsystem typically includes multiple parts that ensure that content protection keys and protected content are never revealed outside the closed subsystem. Content (e.g., high-definition digital video) that enters the closed subsystem (and is typically decrypted and re-encrypted within the closed subsystem) is afforded a similar level of protection within the open system as can be obtained in standalone closed systems. Other aspects of the invention are methods for protecting content within an open computing system, a closed system (or disk drive thereof) configured to be embedded in an open computing system, and circuitry configured to be embedded in an open computing system for combining the output of a closed subsystem with other output (e.g., graphics and/or audio output) of the open computing system.

Embodiments relate to an insertion device that includes: a plunger coupled with a lock collar. The insertion device houses contents including: a striker including self-locking striker snap arm(s) where the striker is kept from firing by a striker spring captured between the plunger and the striker when the insertion device is in a cocked position; a sensor assembly; and a needle carrier that holds a piercing member, the needle carrier captured between the striker and a needle carrier spring where a self-releasing snap(s) keeps the needle carrier cocked, where the plunger prevents the self-releasing snap(s) from repositioning and releasing the needle carrier. The striker fires the needle carrier such that the self-locking striker snap arm(s) are positioned to allow the striker to snap down. The needle carrier is then retracted when the user releases the plunger and the piercing member is encapsulated within the insertion device.

A wafer container utilizes a rigid polymer tubular tower with slots and a “getter” therein for absorbing and filtering moisture and vapors within the wafer container. The tower preferably utilizes a purge grommet at the base of the container and may have a check valve therein to control the flow direction of gas (including air) into and out of the container and with respect to the tower. The tower is sealingly connected with the grommet. The tower may have a getter media piece rolled in an elongate circular fashion forming or shaped as a tube and disposed within the tower and may have axially extending. The media can provide active and/or passive filtration as well as having capabilities to be recharged. Front opening wafer containers for 300 mm sized wafers generally have a pair of recesses on each of the left and right side in the inside rear of the container portions. These recesses are preferably utilized for elongate towers, such towers extending substantially from a bottom wafer position to a top wafer position. In alternative embodiment, a tubular shape of getter material is exposed within the front opening container without containment of the getter other than at the ends. The tubular getter form is preferably supported at discrete locations to maximize exposure to the internal container environment. A blocker member can selectively close the apertures. An elastomeric cap can facilitate securement of the tubular component in the container portion.

The present invention is a compact wallet designed to present a minimal silhouette in a shirt, pants or purse pocket. Novel features hold the silhouette to the minimal dimensions of a credit card while affording maximal expandability for content storage and accessibility. A novel method makes additional features modularly available.

An expansion mechanism for use with a piece of luggage, the expansion mechanism being designed to resiliently support, but not rigidly lock, a piece of expandable luggage in an extended position. The expansion mechanism allows for float at intermediate positions between a collapsed and extended position further preventing damage to the mechanism by allowing it to internally shift to compensate for shocks, and to allow the mechanism to continue to function even if it is bent or damaged. The expansion mechanism also allows for moveable parts of the mechanism and pinch points to be protected from interaction with the contents of the luggage.

The invention concerns a system and a procedure for the administration of files by using electronical data processing equipment that are connected with each other by a network. In order to provide a unitary system to solve all modern office- and communication tasks instead of using a multitude of programs, systems and devices, it is suggested with the invention that at least one data processing installation features a user-related container file system whose function is based on the fact that the files of a particular user are collected into one single data file, wherein the access to the files of the data file occurs depending on access rights and wherein an automatic comparison of the data files with a replica existent within the system is being performed.

A system for creating and processing customer entitlement rules employs a first interface for creating customer entitlement rules and a second interface for communicating with a portal for consuming digital content entitled to. An entitlement engine processes the entitlements, and the system interfaces with a plurality of modules in order to obtain data needed to make entitlement decisions. The entitlement engine allows digital content providers to track, secure and manage entitlements for the digital content.

An apparatus and method of making and applying threaded twist-off neck finishes for metal containers is provided. More specifically, the present invention relations to apparatus and methods used to form metallic bottles with threaded necks adapted to receive selectively removable threaded closures. The threaded neck may be formed by interconnecting a threaded outsert to a metallic bottle. Alternatively, the threaded neck may be formed as an integral portion of the neck of the bottle.

A reclosable bag, comprising: a bag portion defining a bag interior and a bag opening, a means for opening and closing the bag opening, the means comprising (i) opposed interlocking features along the bag opening, the interlocking features being sized and shaped to form a seal when engaged, and (ii) a slider in the bag opening, between the opposed interlocking features, to engage and disengage the interlocking features as the slider moves, the slider being further configured to seal the bag opening when positioned at one end of the bag opening, a passageway in the slider, to provide access between the bag interior and an area outside of the bag, and a means for selectively opening and closing the passageway, wherein, upon moving the slider to the end of the bag opening and sealing the bag opening, access may be selectively provided between the bag interior and the area outside of the bag through the passageway.

An apparatus for reproducing data, method thereof and recording medium are disclosed. In reproducing a title configured with data within a recording medium and/or data within a local storage, a method of reproducing data, the present invention includes the steps of checking information of identifying an application associated with the title from an object file corresponding to the title, authenticating the associated application, and reproducing the title by executing the application. Accordingly, the present invention can protect contents provided by a content provider and a user's playback system. Hence, the content provider can provide contents safely and the user can reproduce the contents with security. Therefore, the present invention can provide more convenient functions.
