This system is for efficient consumption of a consumable or resource such as electricity, gas or the like. Each consumer site, such as a household or business, has a consumer node. The consumer node gathers consumption data from one or more consumer devices consuming the consumable. A central node is in communication with the consumer nodes and determines a collective consumption of the consumable across the plurality of consumer sites. The central node participates in live markets in order to secure delivery of the consumable as required collectively across the plurality of consumer sites. The central node communicates market data conveying substantially live market effects to the consumer nodes, and the consumer nodes process the market data in a manner to influence consumption of the consumable, for example by deactivating devices during market peaks.

Methods and system for securing delivery of a parcel when an intended recipient is unavailable, comprising at least one storage receptacle having an electronically controlled locking mechanism, the storage receptacle comprising an interface for receiving an access code for facilitating unlocking of the storage receptacle, a wireless communication radio, and a processor. The system further comprises a remote service manager comprising an access code generator and a wireless communication radio for transmitting an access code to a mobile computing device operated by a delivery carrier. The mobile computing device includes a wireless communication radio, one or more processors, and a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: receive, via the wireless communication radio, from the remote service manager, a single use access code for facilitating unlocking of the storage receptacle, and transmit the access code to the storage receptacle interface. The storage receptacle processor confirms the validity of the access code and causes the storage receptacle to first unlock and then lock after detection of the parcel within the storage receptacle.

A networked commercial interaction management method assembles information into bundles that include a data element reference and meta data describing the data element. The method distributes the meta data and the data element reference from the bundles through the network, and distributes copies of the data elements in the bundles from the network node of their respective data owners to the network nodes of accessors using the meta data and the data element reference distributed through the network. In at least one embodiment, the method periodically issues bundle version identifying signals to different nodes of the network. The bundle version identifying signals indicate changes to the data elements to the network nodes of accessors.

A communication network such as a cellular network or a WLAN includes a set of user terminals. Within the communication network, a system dynamically controls spectrum usage. The system includes a functionality sensor for sensing spectrum usage within the area covered by the communication network, and a policy server for producing, as a function of the sensed spectrum usage, spectrum usage policies for the communication network. A broadcasting arrangement broadcasts the spectrum usage policies to the user terminals. The system is applicable to cognitive radio systems.

An approach to managing stored-value data objects, such as electronic tickets, comprises secure systems and procedures for ticket issuing, storage, and redemption. With these systems and procedures in place, stored-value data objects may be securely transferred to remote systems, such as a user's personal electronic device, for subsequent secure redemption, thus allowing the user to gain access to the desired goods or service upon redeeming the data object. Techniques provide secure delivery of the requested data object to the requesting device, and provide secure redemption and disposal of the data object. Ticket issuing systems may be Internet-accessible systems, and users may purchase and redeem tickets using mobile terminals or other devices adapted for wireless communication. Standardized WPKI and Internet access procedures may be employed in ticket issuance and redemption. Techniques further provide temporary and rapid verification data objects useful where rapid ticket verification is essential, such as mass transit systems.

A system and a method for secure distribution of digital media content through a packet-based network such as the Internet. The security of the present invention does not require one-to-one key exchange, but rather enables keys, and/or information required in order to build the key, to be broadcast through the packet-based network. The digital media content is then also preferably broadcast, but cannot be accessed without the proper key. However, preferably only authorized end-user devices are able to access the digital media content, by receiving and/or being able to access the proper key. Thus, the present invention is useful for other types of networks in which digital media content is more easily broadcast rather than unicast, in addition to packet-based networks.

A method of transferring digital certificates for transferring, by means of a digital-certificate transferring apparatus, a digital certificate to a communications apparatus to be its communications counterpart is disclosed. The method includes the step of causing the digital-certificate transferring apparatus to execute; a first transferring procedure of using a common certificate being a digital certificate without apparatus-identifying information so as to authenticate the communications counterpart, and transferring a normal certificate being a digital certificate with information identifying the communications counterpart to the communications counterpart when the authenticating succeeds; and a second transferring procedure of receiving a first normal certificate from the communications counterpart, and when, based on the received first normal certificate, transferring a second normal certificate, with the information identifying the communications counterpart, and being different from the first normal certificate, is determined to be necessary, transferring the second normal certificate to the communications counterpart.

The embodiment of the invention discloses a glass substrate position correcting device which is used for correcting the position of a conveying glass substrate. The glass substrate position correcting device comprises a roller group, at least two guide shafts, at least two positioning devices, an air cylinder and a detecting device, wherein the detecting device detects the offset of the position of the glass substrate; the air cylinder drives the corresponding positioning device to move; and a part (extending out of the roller group) of the positioning device is abutted against the glass substrate, so that the glass substrate is adjusted to be at a correct position. The embodiment of the invention further discloses a glass substrate position correcting method. With the adoption of the glass substrate position correcting device and method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the glass substrate to be corrected can be automatically detected and correspondingly correcting can be performed.

A content protection system for securely delivering audio/video data from a content server to a content client through an unsecured channel is disclosed. For each session, the content protection system comprises two phases. The first phase is client-server mutual authentication and session key establishment. In this phase, the content server and the content client verify each other's legitimacy, and at the same time exchange information so that both server and client can calculate or derive the same session key. In the second phase, audio/video data is encrypted with the session key in the content server, and then decrypted with the session key in the content client. If a version of server or client is found to be compromised, its ID will be put into a blacklist.

A method comprises making a set of personal profiles available, from at least one buy-side user to at least one sell-side user, each personal profile in the set of personal profiles including a first set of first values for a plurality of information fields, the plurality of information fields relating to commercial transactions.
