Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to securely distribute digital media content from a first entity to a second entity through an intermediate entity. A studio token, comprising information utilized to generate a first key, is generated and distributed to the first entity. A theater token, comprising information utilized to generate a second key, is also generated and then distributed to the second entity. A data file is accepted from the first entity. The data file comprises the media content encrypted according to the first key generated from the studio token, and an authorization header that provides information utilized to generate the second key. The data file is further encrypted according to a third key wherein such further encryption comprises adding a new header to the encrypted media content. The encrypted data file is then distributed to the second entity.
Abstract:
A captive screw for use in electronic assemblies includes a screw with a shaft having a pair of spaced grooves and a cover captivating the screw and for attaching the captive screw. A knob for rotating the screw can be moved along the shaft between an extended position and a lowered position corresponding to the grooves on the shaft, and releasably locked to the shaft in either position. A lock wafer is used to secure the knob to the shaft. A release button with a large head actuates the lock wafer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a lockable latch for securing together a first panel to a second panel or keeper on a second panel or frame. The latch has a housing, a lockplug configured for a key, a lock collar and a return spring. When a user turns a key to rotate the lockplug and thereby lock the lockplug, the lock collar rotates through 90 degrees and a portion thereof occupies the space or gap between an edge of the first panel and a portion of the latch housing configured and dimensioned to receive the edge of the first panel or frame. As a result, space between an edge of the housing and the first panel is taken up by a portion of the locking collar due to rotation of the locking collar in the housing.

Abstract:
A method of making an interior trim panel for attachment to structure of a vehicle includes the steps of placing a trim insert into a cavity of an apparatus and over a first seal thereof. The method also includes the steps of loading a retainer over the trim insert to sandwich the trim insert between the retainer and the first seal and closing the apparatus. The method further includes the steps of filling the cavity with a plastic material and introducing steam into the apparatus to expand the plastic material to form a substrate and bonding the substrate against the trim insert to form an interior trim panel.
Abstract:
A system and method are shown for performing cool, on-column sample injection into a chromatographic device having a capillary column which injection is achieved through the use of a syringe having a needle. The column diameter is minimized by the provision of an inlet assembly connected to the inlet end of the column, a sealing member disposed in the inlet assembly, for forming a fluid tight seal in the inlet end when the sample is injected onto the column to prevent the sample from escaping and for reducing the effective length of the needle at the point of insertion of the needle into the column and a guide member for reducing the effective length and for supporting the needle during insertion into the column. A temperature controller for controlling the temperature of the column in the region where the sample is injected is also disclosed. The sealing member is shown to include an elastomeric member and further the system includes a mechanism for continuously cooling the elastomeric member. The elastomeric member is shown to include a septum having a bore formed therein for passage of the needle therethrough. A new sample vial closure is also shown for use in the system, which closure applies only a minimal axial force on the needle. In such a system and method the need for a long syringe is obviated. The column inner diameter can be minimized by the system and method which permits the needle of the syringe to having a minimum outer circumference.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for use in presenting information from a plurality of security domains. A first request for first data from a first data source and a second request for second data from a second data source are transmitted by a computing device. The first data source is associated with a first security domain, and the second data source is associated with a second security domain. A bridge computing device forwards the first request and/or the second request based on determining that the requests are authorized. The first data and the second data may be received and combined by the computing device.
Abstract:
One or more embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture for monitoring components of a digital cinema system. A digital cinema system utilizes an exhibitor system (that has one or more components) to display media content. A configuration of the exhibitor system is stored in the exhibitor system. The integrity of the configuration is then determined by querying each of the components. Software agents on each of the components respond to the query. Based on the configuration and the responses received, the integrity of the exhibitor system is determined.
Abstract:
In accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, systems and methods described herein provide for transferring data over one or more networks. A storage area network is adapted to communicate with the one or more networks. A first component is adapted to route data to and from the storage area network. A second component is adapted to route data to and from the storage area network. A gateway component is adapted to control the routing of data between the first and second components and the storage area network. The storage area network is adapted to separate metadata from the data and store the metadata in a secure server positioned behind the gateway component.
