摘要:
Tamper detecting enclosures are described. In one configuration, an inflated balloon at least partially surrounds a module in an enclosure and biases at least one normally opened switch into a closed position during normal operation. If an attacker attempts to attack the enclosure, the balloon should at least partially deflate and cause the switch to return to its normally opened position thereby detecting the attack. In another configuration, the balloon is adhered to the inside wall of the outer enclosure.

A food processor including a receptacle configured to receive foodstuffs having a skin or peel, a first actuator operably coupled to the receptacle defining a first food processing range of motion, the receptacle selectively movable within the first food processing range of motion, and a second actuator operably coupled to a cutting member disposed in vertical juxtaposition to the receptacle, the cutting member selectively movable within a second food processing range of motion.
摘要:
A liquid borne emulsion of varying formulations comprising a powdered metal in a base liquid incorporating a thickening agent component is adapted to a specific metal and type of electrical connection in a specific environment to enhance the electrical conductivity at the electrical connection, reducing the effect of the environment over time of the metals within the electrical connection, increasing the surface area of the electrical connection, reducing the effect of vibration upon the electrical connection to prevent separation and loss of contact to the electrical connection and reducing the signal noise generated by metal to metal movement resulting from an imperfect contact in an electrical connection.

A postal security device (PSD) includes a microprocessor including an internal random access memory (RAM) and an internal flash memory in which is stored at least one secure datum, and at least one external memory coupled to the microprocessor in which is stored at least one non-secure datum and not one of the at least one secure datum.
摘要:
A method of managing an inventory of secure coprocessors and processing a plurality of transaction requests in a distributed system having one or more data centers. The method includes maintaining a secure coprocessor control list that includes information identifying one or more of the secure coprocessors, receiving the secure coprocessor control list and one of the transaction requests at one of the data centers, and providing the secure coprocessor control list and the transaction request to a particular secure coprocessor located at the data center. The method further includes allowing the particular secure coprocessor to fulfill the transaction request only if (i) the secure coprocessor control list is able be verified, (ii) the secure coprocessor control list is determined to be fresh, and (iii) information identifying the particular secure coprocessor is included in the information on the secure coprocessor control list.
