Abstract:
A method, system and device for providing secure access to multimedia content received by a networked digital storage device, such as a set-top box. A mobile device, such as a mobile telephone, obtains appropriate security binding information and application software when coupled to the networked digital storage device at its end user location. The mobile device uploads the security binding information to a randomly located temporary hosting device at its place-shifted location when coupled thereto and, through a logical binding with the temporary hosting device, enables a secure, remote session. The secure binding and transfer of appropriate keys allow the remote hosting device to securely access premium or protected digital material/services available at the networked digital storage device. After completion of the secure, remote access session, termination occurs and the security binding information and the computing activity residue can be removed from the mobile device and the temporary hosting device.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel methods of inhibiting fibrosis, as well as methods of treating or inhibiting fibrotic disorders, using BMP9 and/or BMP10 antagonists. The present invention also provides methods of assessing whether a subject has or is at risk of developing a fibrotic disorder by detecting levels of BMP9 and/or BMP10. Further provided are methods of assessing the efficacy of a treatment regimen for treating a fibrotic disorder by detecting and comparing pre-treatment levels of BMP9 and BMP10 with post-treatment levels of BMP9 and BMP10.
Abstract:
In a method of managing 3D video stream, 3D video stream is output to a connected display. The connected display displays the 3D video stream after a delay associated with the connected display. A timing offset is determined based on the delay. The timing offset is operable to be used to synchronize shutter operations of at least one shutter glasses with the presentation of the 3D video stream. A shutter control signal based on a frame start indication from the 3D video stream is transmitted. The frame start indication is operable to be used to determine a frame rate of the 3D video stream, and the shutter control signal is operable to be used to maintain synchronization of the shutter operations of the at least one shutter glasses with the presentation of the 3D video stream at the connected display.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a computer information security system and method, the system includes a connection device and a sensor. When the connection device plug in to the predetermined computer, the sensor and the connection device are conjoint, a first identification code can be stored to the computer through the connection device, and generated an initialization setting of the second identification code to the sensor through the connection device. Therefore, when the sensor is out of the predetermined range of the connection device, the connection device will control the computer for encoding to prevent unauthorized user to use the computer; when the sensor is located within the range of the predetermined range of the connection device, the connection device will automatically input the first identification code to the computer to enable the user to directly use the computer without inputting the first identification code to avoid the complicated procedure of inputting the first identification code when the user return to work on the computer, thus to reinforce the security to the information in the computer and to make the operation more convenient.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a cursor on a screen by using a touch device includes changing a display coordinate set of the cursor on the screen representative of an object according to a relative coordinate set with respect to movement of the object on the touch device, hiding the cursor from the screen when the object leaves the touch device for a duration in excess of a predetermined time, and when the cursor is not displayed on the screen and an object touches the touch device, computing an initial display coordinate set of the cursor on the screen according to an absolute coordinate set of the object on the touch device and a resolution ratio between the touch device and the screen. With this method, the cursor on the screen can be intuitively operated by using the touch device.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods, i.e., scalable or large-scale processes for the production of fused, tricyclic sulfonamido analogs, such as substituted or unsubstituted 5-(aryl-sulfonyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines and 5-(heteroaryl-sulfonyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]quinolines. Exemplary methods of the invention include an intra-molecular cyclization step, in which a carbon-nitrogen bond is formed, and which employs a copper-based catalyst that contains at least one organic ligand, such as DMEDA. The invention further provides compounds, which are useful as intermediates in the methods of the invention.
Abstract:
A touch device for multi-touch environment generates a sensing signal in response to an object touch thereon, generates an event signal according to the sensing signal and a control signal, generates a cursor signal according to coordinate information of each touch point contained in the sensing signal and the event signal, and transmits the cursor signal and the event signal to the multi-touch environment. The cursor signal is used to control a cursor application to show a cursor at a screen for each touch point and changes appearances of the cursors. The cursors clearly inform a user of locations where his/her fingers correspond on the screen. By conducting touch events in the multi-touch environment through the cursors instead of actual fingers, the user can operate the touch device other than a touch screen in a multi-touch manner as operating a multi-touch screen.
