In one embodiment, a method for utilizing a pseudonym to protect the identity of a platform and its user is described. The method comprises producing a pseudonym that includes a public pseudonym key. The public pseudonym key is placed in a certificate template. Hash operations are performed on the certificate template to produce a certificate hash value, which is transformed from the platform. Thereafter, a signed result is returned to the platform. The signed result is a digital signature for the transformed certificate hash value. Upon performing an inverse transformation of the signed result, a digital signature of the certificate hash value is recovered. This digital signature may be used for data integrity checks for subsequent communications using the pseudonym.
1. A device comprising:
a processing unit; and
a persistent memory including a first key pair and at least one pseudonym for use in communications with a remotely located device and in identifying that a platform containing the device is secure, wherein the at least one pseudonym includes a second key pair that is erased after a communication session with the remotely located device has concluded.
2. The device of
a number generator to assist in producing the at least one pseudonym.
3. A method for utilizing a persistent memory of a device, comprising:
storing in the persistent memory a first key pair; and
storing in the persistent memory at least one pseudonym for use in communications with a remotely located device and in identifying that a platform containing the device is secure, wherein the at least one pseudonym includes a second key pair that is erased after a communication session with the remotely located device has concluded.
4. The method of
utilizing a number generator to assist in producing the at least one pseudonym.
5. A machine accessible medium having associated instructions for utilizing a persistent memory of a device, the instructions, when accessed, result in one or more machines performing:
storing in the persistent memory a first key pair; and
storing in the persistent memory at least one pseudonym for use in communications with a remotely located device and in identifying that a platform containing the device is secure, wherein the at least one pseudonym includes a second key pair that is erased after a communication session with the remotely located device has concluded.
6. The medium of
utilizing a number generator to assist in producing the at least one pseudonym.
This invention relates to the field of data security. In particular, the invention relates to a platform and method that protects an identity of the platform through creation and use of pseudonyms.
Advances in technology have opened up many opportunities for applications that go beyond the traditional ways of doing business. Electronic commerce (e-commerce) and business-to-business (B2B) transactions are now becoming popular, reaching the global markets at a fast rate. Unfortunately, while electronic platforms like computers provide users with convenient and efficient methods of doing business, communicating and transacting, they are also vulnerable for unscrupulous attacks. This vulnerability has substantially hindered the willingness of content providers from providing their content in a downloaded, digital format.
Currently, various mechanisms have been proposed to verify the identity of a platform. This is especially useful to determine if the platform features a "trusted" device; namely, the device is configured to prevent digital content from being copied in a non-encrypted format without authorization. One verification scheme involves the use of a unique serial number assigned to a platform for identification of that platform. Another verification scheme, performed either independently from or cooperatively with the previously described verification scheme, involves the use of a permanent key pair. The permanent key pair includes (i) a unique public key that identifies the platform and (ii) a private key that is permanently stored in memory of the trusted device. The private key is confidential and is not provided outside the trusted device. However, these verification schemes pose a number of disadvantages.
For example, each of these verification schemes is still subject to data aggregation attacks. "Data aggregation" involves the collection and analysis of data transmitted from a platform over a period of time. Thus, the use of platform serial numbers and permanent keys for identification purposes has recently lead to consumer privacy concerns. Also, for both verification mechanisms, a user cannot easily and reliably control access to and use of the platform identity on a per-use basis.
The features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the present invention in which:
The present invention relates to a platform and method for protecting the identity of the platform through the creation and use of pseudonyms. Herein, certain details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It is apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art, however, that the present invention may be practiced through many embodiments other that those illustrated. Well-known circuits and cryptographic techniques are not set forth in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the present invention.
In the following description, terminology is used to discuss certain features of the present invention. For example, a "platform" includes hardware and/or software that process information. Examples of a platform include, but are not limited or restricted to any of the following: a computer (e.g., desktop, a laptop, a hand-held, a server, a workstation, etc.); data transmission equipment (e.g., a router, switch, facsimile machine, etc.), wireless equipment (e.g., cellular base station, telephone handset, etc.); or television set-top box. "Software" includes code that, when executed, performs a certain function. "Information" is defined as one or more bits of data, address, and/or control.
With respect to cryptographic functionality, a "cryptographic operation" is an operation performed for additional security on information. These operations may include encryption, decryption, hash computations, and the like. In certain cases, the cryptographic operation requires the use of a key, which is a series of bits. For asymmetric key cryptography, a device is associated with unique, permanent key pair that includes a public key and a private key.
In addition, asymmetric key cryptography normally utilizes a root certificate. A "root certificate" is a public key at the origination of a digital certificate chain and provides a starting point for all subsequent digital certificates. In general, a "digital certificate" includes information used to authenticate a sender of information. For example, in accordance with CCITT Recommendation X.509: The Directory—Authentication Framework (1988), a digital certificate may include information (e.g., a key) concerning a person or entity being certified, namely encrypted using the private key of a certification authority. Examples of a "certification authority" include an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), a software vendor, a trade association, a governmental entity, a bank or any other trusted business or person. A "digital certificate chain" includes an ordered sequence of two or more digital certificates arranged for authorization purposes as described below, where each successive certificate represents the issuer of the preceding certificate.
A "digital signature" includes digital information signed with a private key of its signatory to ensure that the digital information has not been illicitly modified after being digitally signed. This digital information may be provided in its entirety or as a hash value produced by a one-way hash operation.
A "hash operation" is a one-way conversion of information to a fixed-length representation referred to as a "hash value". Often, the hash value is substantially less in size than the original information. It is contemplated that, in some cases, a 1:1 conversion of the original information may be performed. The term "one-way" indicates that there does not readily exist an inverse function to recover any discernible portion of the original information from the fixed-length hash value. Examples of a hash function include MD5 provided by RSA Data Security of Redwood City, Calif., or Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-1) as specified a 1995 publication Secure Hash Standard FIPS 180-1 entitled "Federal Information Processing Standards Publication" (Apr. 17, 1995).
Referring to
Referring now to
Herein, device 150 comprises a processing unit 200 and a persistent memory 210 (e.g., non-volatile, battery-backed random access memory "RAM", etc.). Processing unit 200 is hardware that is controlled by software that internally processes information. For example, processing unit 200 can perform hash operations, perform logical operations (e.g. multiplication, division, etc.), and/or produce a digital signature by digitally signing information using the Digital Signature Algorithm. Persistent memory 210 contains a unique asymmetric key pair 220 programmed during manufacture. Used for certifying pseudonyms, asymmetric key pair 220 includes a public key (PUKP1) 230 and a private key (PRKP1) 240. Persistent memory 210 may further include a public key 250 (PUKP2) of second platform 120, although it may be placed in volatile memory (e.g., RAM, register set, etc.) within device 150 if applicable.
In this embodiment, device 150 further comprises a number generator 260 such as a random number generator or a pseudo-random number generator. Number generator 260 is responsible for generating a bit stream that is used, at least in part, to produce one or more pseudonyms. A "pseudonym" is an alias identity in the form of an alternate key pair used to establish protected communications with another platform and to identify that its platform includes trusted device 150. The pseudonym also supports a challenge/response protocol and a binding of licensing, secrets and other access control information to the specific platform. It is contemplated, however, that number generator 260 may be employed externally from device 150. In that event, the greater security would be realized by platform 110 if communications between number generator 260 and device 150 were protected.
Referring to
Once a pseudonym has been produced and allocated for use in communications with a remote platform, this pseudonym represents the persistent platform identity for that platform/platform communications, so long as the user chooses to retain the pseudonym (blocks 340, 350 and 360).
Referring now to
Thereafter, the certificate hash value undergoes a transformation similar to that described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,759,063 and 4,759,064 to create a "blinded" certificate hash value (block 415). In particular, the certificate hash value is multiplied by a pseudo-random number (e.g., a predetermined number raised to a power that is pseudo-randomly select). The pseudo-random power is maintained in confidence within the first platform (e.g., placed in persistent memory 210 of FIG. 2). A certification request, including at least the transformed (or blinded) certificate hash value, is created (block 420). The certification request is digitally signed with the private key (PRKP1) of the first platform (block 425). A device certificate, namely a digital certificate chain that includes the public key (PUKP1) of the first platform in one embodiment, is retrieved or generated to accompany the signed certificate request (block 430). In this embodiment, the device certificate features a high-level certificate including PUKP1 and a lowest level certificate including the root certificate. Of course, the device certificate may be a single digital certificate including PUKP1. Both the signed certificate request and device certificate are encrypted with the public key (PUKP2) of the second platform and then transferred to the second platform (blocks 435 and 440).
At the second platform, the signed certificate request and device certificate are recovered after being decrypted using the private key (PRKP2) of the second platform (block 445). The public key (PUKP1) of the first platform may be obtained using a public key of the certification authority responsible for signing the device certificate (block 450). If the second platform can recover the certificate request, the second platform verifies the device certificate back to the root certificate (blocks 455 and 460). If the certificate request is recovered and the device certificate is verified, the transformed (or blinded) certificate hash value is digitally signed to produce a "signed result" (block 465). Otherwise, if either the transformed (or blinded) certificate hash value cannot be determined or the device certificate cannot be verified, an error message is returned to the first platform (block 470).
Upon receipt of the signed result from the second platform, the first platform performs an inverse transformation on the signal result. For example, in this illustrative embodiment, the first platform divides the signed result by an inverse of the pseudo-random number (e.g., the predetermined number raised to an inverse of the pseudo-random power) to recover a digital signature of the certificate hash value (blocks 475 and 480). The digital signature is stored with one or more pseudonyms for use in subsequent communications with other platforms to identify that the first platform includes a trusted device.
While this invention has been described with reference to illustrative embodiments, this description is not intended to be construed in a limiting sense. Various modifications of the illustrative embodiments, as well as other embodiments of the invention, which are apparent to persons skilled in the art to which the invention pertains are deemed to lie within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Retail merchant hoping to expand floor space
The East Andrews Avenue Family Dollar retail store could receive a major upgrade if plans to move to a new location nearby gain approval by the Henderson City Council.
The Henderson Planning Board on Tuesday recommended the asked-for zoning change of a half-acre parcel from industrial to business use that would allow engineers to proceed with their project.
The plan would begin with tearing down an old industrial warehouse on Wilbur Street across the East Andrews thoroughfare from the Family Dollar Store's current location.
Marie Peedin of Pamlico Engineering Services represented Eastern Pride, Inc., the petitioner for the needed zoning changes.
Peedin said that most of the area is already zoned for business uses that allow retail stores, including parcels comprising more than half of the warehouse location's total property.
The petition as outlined on Monday was for a half-acre lot out of a total of 1.6 acres of warehouse property that will become the new Family Dollar location.
"At this point in time, that is all they are requesting," she said. "The retail use is not allowed in the industrial-2 zone, therefore we are making the request."
In recent days, petitioners and H&J Warehouse, the property owners, discovered several more lots will need the new business zone designation in the future if the project is to expand to either 2.7 or 3 total acres in size.
Peedin said project leaders with Family Dollar are hopeful for a 3-acre total size for the new store.
She added she believes the current Family Dollar location, as a typical shopping center version of the chain, is about 6,000-square feet.
"This will be an expansion," she said. "It will be a 10,000-square foot store. With this portion rezoned, we can move ahead with this project. They are going to tear down the entire warehouse."
Planning board members voted unanimously in favor of recommending the request to the city council.

|This recipe appears in:
|One-Pot Wonders: Curried Chicken With Israeli Couscous and Swiss Chard
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 6 ounces Israeli (pearled) couscous
- 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon madras curry powder, divided
- 2 packed cups of roughly sliced Swiss chard leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh juice from 1 lemon

1974 - Pyrex 1410 Mugs
Pyrex 1410 mugs date originally to about 1964, but they did not appear with Corelle patterns until late 1974. They were last available in 1985. Date ranges on this page pertain to this cup style in general; the dates of each individual pattern vary. Details on this page are pertinent only to 1410 mugs decorated with Corelle or Pyrex Compatibles patterns, manufactured between the mid 1970s and mid 1980s. Older mugs produced during the 1960s or early 1970s are not addressed. They have different markings, like "Corning" or "Pyrex ... 1410 10 oz".
(top) Woodland Brown, Burgundy, Snowflake Blue, Ribbon Bouquet.(bottom) Autumn Harvest, Ginger, Honeydew, Blueberry. As Pyrex Compatibles, 1410 mugs were usually sold separately in sets of four as an optional accessory. Around 1978, a few 16-piece Corelle sets appeared with a 1410 mug in place of the usual cup & saucer, but these sets were certainly in the minority. Patterns from the Summer Impressions product line are another exception, and these 12-piece sets routinely included 1410 mugs rather than cups & saucers. 1410 mugs are always made of Pyrex. Although it is true that some older examples are marked with the company name "Corning" instead, the appearance of the glass itself is more informative than the name on it. Mugs manufactured between the mid 1970s and mid 1980s are branded "Pyrex" on the bottom, along with the model number. Examples newer than the mid 1970s state the capacity as 300 ml. This converts to over 10 oz, contradicting the original package which stated 9 oz, itself a slight exaggeration. Nine ounces fills it to the very top; in practice it holds just less than that. The mid 1970s stamp says simply: "No. 1410 … PYREX … Microwave … USA". The newer stamp says: "1410 300 ml … PYREX … For Oven and Microwave … No Stovetop or Broiler … Corning NY USA".

Pyrex cream & sugar sets were not present at the launch of the Pyrex Compatibles product line, and their introduction date is unclear. They arrived later, during 1972 or 1973, and remained until mid 1975 when they were replaced by the Corelle open-handle set.
Small Pyrex creamer & sugar bowl, Butterfly Gold. Both pieces borrow their shapes from Pyrex restaurant ware, and the bowl's original purpose is really a ramekin or bouillon cup. Both are small and hold about 6 oz. The sugar bowl is marked "Corning" with the glass-blower logo, and is topped by a clear Pyrex flat lid. The creamer is usually marked "Pyrex Brand Tableware" with a 722 model number. Some examples might also be branded as "Corning". Patterns:

text: EDMONTON - British Columbia's Under-19 men's provincial team are national champions after going undefeated at the U19 Canadian Rugby Championship in Edmonton. The squad wrapped up a four game sweep on Sunday afternoon defeating the Prairie Wolfpack by a convincing 30-0 score line. BC conceded just 41 points during the exhausting week which featured four matches in four days at the Nor'Westers Athletic Association fields in Edmonton. BC opened their campaign with a 41-17 win over the Eastern Ontario and Quebec Voyageurs and narrowly defeated tournament heavyweights Ontario 31-24 in a thriller on Saturday afternoon. BC shut out the Atlantic in a 55-0 victory and held the Prairie Wolfpack scoreless on the tournament's final day. "The Wolfpack had some big players and they put us under pressure but our defence was absolutely solid, just as it has been all tournament," said BC head coach Kris de Scossa. "That's the second time we shut out our opposition and it just goes to show that defence wins championships." BC survived a scare on day three against tournament favourites Ontario, eventually clawing their way back from 24-12 down with three late tries to secure the win. "Considering that all the other teams in this tournament are currently in season, it's very impressive that our lads were able to come here after our training sessions and perform the way we did," de Scossa added. "[Assistant coach] Dave Murphy and I had a system and the players went out there and made it work. You could see the elation on their faces as they capitalized on the mismatches and put on such a clinical and professional display."

According to Dr. Ray Head, professor of mathematics and computer information systems and chair of the Department of Mathematics, The presentations were very successful. The presenters had to work hard in learning the concepts in depth so that they could explain them to a general audience. In doing so, not only did they learn new concepts, but also gained knowledge of what is required for them personally to learn new mathematical concepts in depth. Cass Sisto Sophomore Cass Sisto gave his presentation on the Approximation of Solutions to Differential Equations. I prepared computer programs with Visual Basic to show different approximation techniques. The math department really appreciates the chance to show off our work every year at the Math Presentation Days. As a small department, its our chance to shine and encourage people to remember the beauty of mathematics and how they relate to Gods creation. After graduation, Cass would like to pilot an F-35 in the Air Force. He recognizes that his math degree will help him acquire his ultimate long-term goal of becoming an astronaut or an engineer. Mac Hildebrand After getting an introduction and some reading material from Dr. Head, I dove into my topic of the Calculus of Variations, said sophomore Mac Hildebrand. I was initially disappointed because I knew nothing about my topic and it contained some tough concepts, but after doing some more research and example problems, Ive enjoyed seeing the usefulness and application of the topic. Mac plans on attending seminary after graduation. I hope that my mathematics undergraduate degree will provide a good foundation in logic and analytical skills that will be helpful when studying the Word of God. Presenters and topics included: Mac Hildebrand Calculus of Variations in Computation Luke Vanaman Use of the Monte Carlo Method in Computation Kayla Whiteley Some Computations in Actuarial Science Dr. Ray Head The Mathematics of Hermann Weyl Evan Hoyt RSA Algorithm Britney Worrell Group Theory Applications in Number Theory Troy Hadlock Finding Prime Numbers Luke Harding Computations in Linear Algebra Cass Sisto Approximation of Solutions to Differential Equations Joseph Good Prolog Models of Sets and Trees Jeremy Hale Exploring Abstract Machines in Prolog Miss Sandra Draper Rings and Fields Congratulations on your successful presentations!

Even if we don't want to admit, it is that time again: back to school. I can't believe that I'm a 12th grader (senior), it feels like yesterday I was in the 9th grade, complaining about silly things, having the most horrible jokes (the situation isn't changed...kidding...I hope...), being insecure about myself and dreaming about perfection. I already feel old :( Anyway, in other countries school has already started, but luckily, in Romania school will start next Monday so I thought it would be a great idea to show you my 'back to school' outfit version.
Being in an high school that requires a standard outfit (almost an uniform) made me more creative in combining the classic white shirt, which is mandatory to wear, with other things in my closet. I believe that sometimes it is pretty hard to combine basic items in order not to have a boring look, so through high school I've learned that less is more if you combine the items properly. To conclude, what I recommend on the first day of school is to have a comfortable outfit that gives you confidence, to be friendly and have fun.
(Optional: don't forget to bring a larger bag if you know you are going to receive the books you will need the whole year)

Two Virgin America flights took-off from New York JFK and LA and were timed to land at their base at San Francisco simultaneously, 8 August.
The service launch of US start-up Virgin America followed a lengthy battle to convince regulators that Virgin America met rules on US citizenship requirements and control.
The inaugural flights from JFK and Los Angeles made a simultaneous landing at San Francisco, where both Airbus A320 family aircraft were greeted by arching spray from water cannons.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom welcomed guests from the flights, and lead a press conference with Virgin America CEO Fred Reid, Virgin Group founder Richard Branson and airport director John Martin.
"We are so happy to celebrate our launch day with friends, supporters and our first guests," says Reid in a statement. "We've worked very hard to get here, and we hope the American flying public will like what we have to offer."
Virgin America will offer two daily flights between San Francisco and JFK, and five daily flights between San Francisco and Los Angeles. A third San Francisco-JFK flight will be added on 19 August and a fourth on 9 September.
On 29 August, Virgin America will initiate service between JFK and Los Angeles with two daily flights, adding a third on 16 September.
Twice-daily service between San Francisco and Washington Dulles will commence on 26 September; between San Francisco and Las Vegas on 10 October with three daily flights; and between Los Angeles and Dulles on 24 October with two daily flights. All flights are nonstop. However, connections are available beginning 10 October between Las Vegas and both New York and Dulles, notes Virgin America.
Virgin America had for years been seeking to launch US domestic services but faced strong opposition from those claiming its ownership structure did not meet US laws and concerns that Branson's Virgin Group had undue influence.
Virgin America agreed to revise its funding and management structures. In May the new entrant secured final DOT approval to begin operations, with the stipulation that Reid steps down six months after certification.

Ubuntu One Clients for KDE and Fedora
Ever since the Ubuntu One cloud service played an important role in Ubuntu 10.04, a new prototype of a KDE client has become available. A port to Fedora is also in the works.
Kubuntu One?
Kubuntu users are staying on track with Canonical's cloud service in more ways than one. First, there is no native client, only the GNOME applet, and second, the service might synchronize Tomboy notes and the Evolution address book, but no KDE files.
This should all change with the upcoming Lucid Lynx 10.04 release. Kubuntu developer Harald Sitter is working on a native KDE client for Ubuntu One. As he says in his blog, a first tech preview is available for download. The program is still rather buggy and is truly just a prototype not to be used on a daily basis with Ubuntu One.
Once the primary support for KDE is built in, the applicable Akonadi CouchDB integration will make synchronizing with favorite KDE PIM files possible. This should make the upcoming months exciting for Kubuntu users.
Fedora too?
Independent of the Kubuntu project, Fedora developer Thomas Vander Stichele is working on an Ubuntu One client for Fedora. Because Ubuntu One is at least partially a closed code project, it creates somewhat of a challenge. The Ubuntu developers have cooperated, however, so that a corresponding patch to the original source code now makes it possible to use the basic functions with Fedora. The patch was necessary because the Ubuntu 9.10 client had a serious bug and Canonical purposefully excluded this client version on the server side from access to the Ubuntu One cloud.
Ubuntu One KDE client no longer in developmentThe Ubuntu One client for KDE has been removed. The download mentioned in this article no longer works. For those interested, I have written a short summary of the state of play as at Janurary 2011. Anyone who reads this article looking for a KDE client (as I did) may be interested in seeing what happened:

1 (16 ounce) package

ground black pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package
sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons
butter, sliced
I think this recipe is really good and easy. A little rich because of the butter on top I think, but otherwise delicious.
If you're looking for a creamy "kraft mac and cheese" recipe, this isn't it. This is more of a pasta bake.
I was so excited to make homemade macaroni and cheese for the first time for my new husband when I tried this recipe. However, I was pretty disappointed with the results. Mine came out very dry and wasn't flavorful. Some spots were cheesy and others just had the egg mixture on it. It needs something to make it creamier and cheesier.

This was good. I cooked it for thanksgiving. It was easy to make. I did change it a bit though using spaghetti noodles instead and added dry mustard.
I made this for my family last night for dinner. It turned out great. It was so easy to make & I didn't have to buy alot of things to make it which I really like. Please give this a try. You will absolutly love it.
super easy and yummy!
Don't be fooled by this simple recipe.Go the extra step to make a decent mac and cheese bake.
The recipe came out to be really dry and it seems like it needs more cheese...it wasn't cheesy enough.
I was a little nervous about this because I didn't have enough cheese on hand, but it still turned out really good and my picky six year old just loved it.

People trickled in on Thursday to the Felix Davis Community Center, where the South Carolina Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons served up a large spread for Thanksgiving.
After a hiatus of holding the event for the last few years, the group decided to return to the tradition of providing free meals to those in the community. Not as many people showed up as expected, but it was still worth it for Rashad Muhammad, the lodge's Grand Master and organizer of the event.
"We still did well," he said. "People came back and took to-go boxes and were able to eat and share." For Muhammad it's not about the quantity of people, but the quality of the event. "It was a good atmosphere. People here were happy," he said. "Some people don't have family and want to have a warm place to spend Thanksgiving. Some people want some company. We try to facilitate that."
There was plenty of food to choose from including three types of turkey, gravy, macaroni and cheese, fried rice, green bean casserole and plenty of desserts.
For Denise Cromwell, one of the volunteers serving food, it was about making people feel welcome. She said at the beginning of the meal at around 11 a.m. a homeless man expressed surprise when she held his hand during the prayer. Cromwell said she relates to those in need.
"I used to be on the other side of this as a kid," she said. Daughter to a single mother growing up in Hollywood, she remembers how tough things were during Thanksgiving while growing up. Since the holiday falls at the end of the month, by the time Thanksgiving arrived, their food stamps typically had dwindled down, she said.
"We always relied on people giving us food," she said. It's something she said she was grateful for, which is why she made sure to help serve the meal at the Mason's event. The tradition will continue next year for the lodge, which plans to return with even greater force, according to Muhammed.
"I think next year will be even grander," he said.

Sony takes on Apple and Slingbox with its own venture into the world of Network Media Players.
Sony has unveiled the SMP-N100, its answer to Apple TV in and what it hopes is the complete network media solution for not only its own Bravia TV's but also any HD TV you so wish.
Costing £120 the SMP-N100 is £20 dearer than the Apple alternative but what you get in return is full 1080p output rather than the 720p offered by Apple. You'll also get a USB port and WiFi allowing you to integrate the SMP-N100 with almost any DLNA compatible device.
Possibly the clincher with the SMP-N100 will be its ability to access BBC iPlayer, 4OD, iTV Player, Demand Five and LoveFilm, quite a list eh? As if that wasn't enough Sony has confirmed you'll also be able to control your SMP-N100 via apps for iPhone or Android phones.
So all in all, yes it is more expensive, but with the arguably more impressive features it's sure to turn a few heads, possibly even away from the Apple store.
What do you think, will you be buying a Network Media Player like SlingBox, Apple TV or the Sony SMP-N100? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter.

Congress failed to take the U.S. Supreme Court's word seriously in a 2009 decision raising "serious constitutional questions" about the Voting Rights Act. So the high court today struck down the central mechanism under which the law selects states for federal review of their voting procedures.
The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision penned by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld the 1965 law designed to ensure equal voting rights for white and minority citizens. But Roberts declared Section 4 of that law unconstitutional because it singled out certain states and counties based on 40-year-old evidence of racial discrimination.
It was a strong affirmation of federalism and in particular the concept of equal sovereignty among the states. It also highlights the huge economic and social changes that have swept the South since 1965, to the point that voter turnout as a percentage of the minority population is far higher in Mississippi, a covered state, than in Massachusetts, which is not.
"There is no doubt that these improvements are in large part because of the Voting Rights Act," Roberts wrote. But the formula Congress devised in 1965, separating states into those with low voter turnouts and pernicious tests like literacy requirements, is no longer valid, he said. "Today the Nation is no longer divided along those lines, yet the Voting Rights Act continues to treat it as if it were."
The decision, one of a string of late-term 5-4 verdicts, split the court on ideological grounds. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a dissent accusing the court of downplaying continuing problems with racial discrimination in the U.S. According to the conservative majority, she wrote, "the very success …of the Voting Rights Act demands its dormancy."
Roberts dismissed the dissenters as living in the past — and ignoring the fact that two of the four signed off on the court's 2009 decision in Northwest Austin v. Holder, which narrowly upheld the law but raised questions about whether Congress had a rational reason for singling out states based on voting practices identified decades before.
The decision relies heavily on the principles of judicial review that go back to the early days of the country, particularly the idea that the Supreme Court shouldn't overrule an act of Congress if it has been carefully deliberated and reflects facts entered into the record. The Affordable Care Act largely passed muster under those terms, in a Roberts decision last year that angered conservatives but upheld the signature law of President Obama's first term.
Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act does not, Roberts said, because Congress has repeatedly renewed the law without updating the record supporting it. Initially intended to be a five-year measure, the law was expanded and renewed for 25-year terms in 1982 and 2006. Congress clearly has authority to overrule state voting laws under the Fifteenth Amendment, Roberts said, which gives the federal government the power to enact and enforce appropriate legislation to ensure voting rights.
But the Fifteenth Amendment was "not designed to punish for the past; its purpose is to ensure a better future," Roberts said.
The court's decision today was largely preordained by Northwest Austin in 2009. In that case the court determined that the municipal district didn't logically fall under the restrictions of the Voting Rights Act, but declined to rule directly on the constitutionality of the law.In so doing, it sent a signal to Congress, as it has done this term with rulings on patent and employment law, that perhaps legislators should take another look at the law.
Congress's "failure to act leaves us today with no choice but to declare (Section 4) unconstitutional," Roberts said.
The ruling states that Congress can still enforce the restrictions on voting procedures, but only if it produces an updated method for identifying states for review. It rejected the Obama administration's argument that the original review mechanism was "reverse-engineered" to produce a set of characteristics that were common to the states with discriminatory voting practices. The review characteristics, such as low voter turnout in the 1964 election, were relevant to the practices the law was designed to correct. But it is no longer fair to base review on the 1964 election today, the court held.

In a booklet she made in kindergarten Brandie listed the occupation that she wanted to be when she grew up as a 'Painter'.
During her early years, she was immersed in worlds brought to life through pictures. Every Saturday morning she would wake up to catch four corny humanoid turtles save the day against a man dressed in saw blades and purple who would yell a lot, watch pirates sail a black ocean that consumed the world full of monkey birds and pixie dust, and imagined a world where cars were more than what met the eyes. Brandie also had the fortune of seeing the Renaissance age of Disney classics. More than just animated movies, They paved the way for perfection in both the craft of artwork and story telling. In her teens, she discovered the fun of video games. Even if at first she was too scared to get past the first boss. Now she wasn't just watching a story come together, but felt like an intergretal part of it. More than feeling, Brandie hopes to one day bring inspiration to future generations. Whether that be video games, children books, or sci-fi adventures, She is always looking for ways to expand her craft and experiment in new mediums.

So here is the process of making my Captain America toms!
Step 1: Gather your Materials
- Red, white, and blue fabric paint
- Fabric medium if you have acrylic paint
- Various paint brush sizes
- Detergent to clean the shoes (if they're old)
- Sharpie to draw design
- Paper towel
Step 2: Design your Shoe
Step 3: Clean your Shoes, Remove the Shoe Laces, and Stuff them
Remove the shoe laces and stuff the shoes with tissue paper or paper towel. It's important to stuff the shoe so you have a nice firm canvas. Once all of this is done, let the shoes dry! If you're impatient like me, you're sharpie will leak like mine did.
If you have new shoes, then you're good to go.
Step 4: Draw out the Design
Step 5: Mix your Paint
I chose to mix one paint at a time to prevent the paint from drying up.
This is such a creative idea! The search for my sister's birthday present is officially over! ^_^

After Linda Stein's personal assistant, Natavia Lowery, confessed to the murder of her boss on Friday, a few new details emerged, among them that Stein had a pot habit to rival Jimmy Cayne's. According to police, Lowery said it was Stein's blowing marijuana smoke in her face, berating her for being slow, and making vague racial comments that prompted her to pick up a "yoga stick" and smack her in the head seven times. Stein's daughter Mandy admitted her mother could be difficult but said that it was less the pot than the medication that caused her mother to behave churlishly. "If Miss Lowery had just walked out of the room and come back in fifteen minutes, my mother would have calmed down," she said, adding that that's what all the other help did. Right? This is New York City, don't people know that abuse is just part of the job? But what caused Natavia Lowery to lose her mind? Is it possible she didn't? Her father is saying her confession was coerced, and her friends and relatives maintain that despite the confession, she didn't do it. "She does not have the heart to kill anyone," Lowery's high-school sweetheart told the Daily News. "She would not smack a fly on her forehead." Um. Unfortunate metaphor, that. Lowery's aunt concurred: "My niece doesn't fight," she said. "She is too afraid to break a nail or get a scratch on her face." But Lowery was, after all, a would-be model, who "dreamed of gracing the covers of magazines," according to the Daily News. Maybe this was one way to get her wish!

A system (50) includes a labelling machine (52) and a digital data processing system (54) connected to the labelling machine (52). A cutter (56) of the labelling machine (52) has a shaft (58) with a mark (60), which is sensed by a sensor (62). The sensor (62) supplies shaft (58) information on line (3) to digital data processing system (54). The digital data processing system (54) supplies control signals on line (64) to feed roll (66) stepper motor (67). The digital data processing means (54) is also connected to an optical sensor (76) by line (78). The optical sensor (76) senses the position of position mark (74) on the labels (70), which is correlated with the position of shaft (58) in order to feed the labels (70) to the cutter (56) at the proper rate so that the labels (70) are always cut at the kerf (72) between each label (70).
1. In combination, a digital data processing means, a labelling machine including a master shaft and a slave shaft, means for sensing position of said master shaft of said labelling machine operatively connected between said master shaft and said digital data processing means, an optical sensor for a registration mark for each label on a sheet of labels, said optical sensor being connected to said digital data processing means, a means for entering a length of labels on the sheet to be fed through said labelling machine, said length entering means being connected to said digital data processing means, a drive roller positioned to advance the sheet of labels in said labelling machine, a stepping motor connected between said drive roller and said digital data processing means, said digital data processing means including means responsive to inputs from said master shaft position sensing means, said registration mark optical sensor and said length entering means for providing actuating signals from the master shaft position, sensed registration mark and length inputs to said stepping motor to maintain alignment of each label in the sheet of labels relative to position of the master shaft as the sheet of labels is advanced in said labelling machine.
2. The combination of claim 1 in which said master shaft is fixedly connected relative to a cutter of said labelling machine.
3. In combination, an electronically controlled differential comprising a master shaft for carrying out a repetitive operation at regularly spaced intervals on a workpiece advanced relative to said master shaft and a slave shaft positioned to advance the workpiece relative to said master shaft, means for sensing position of said master shaft, an optical sensor for registration marks at the regularly spaced intervals on the workpiece, a stepping motor connected to said slave shaft, electronic circuit means operatively connected to receive data from said master shaft position sensing means and said registration mark optical sensor, an input means connected to said electronic circuit means to supply a user selectable interval between registration marks on the workpiece, said electronic circuit means being connected to supply actuating signals to said stepping motor based on the data from said master shaft sensing means and said registration mark optical sensor and the user selected interval to control operation of said slave shaft relative to said master shaft.
4. The combination of claim 3 in which said electronic circuit means is a digital data processing means.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a labelling machine which is controlled by a digital data processing system. More particularly, it relates to such a system in which mechanical camming mechanisms and similar components of a conventional labelling machine are replaced by electronic controls embodied in a digital data processing system connected to control tuning, feed and related operations of a labelling machine of the type which is able to apply labels of various sizes to packaging containers of various sizes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In conventional machines used to apply different size labels to different size cans, glass bottles, boxes or other packaging containers, timing marks, cams, gears and similar interconnected mechanical elements are employed to assure that the containers and labels are supplied to the machine in an orderly fashion and syncronously with respect to each other so that a single label is uniformly placed in a desired location on the container. Some control functions of labelling machines have also been implemented with digital circuits, including microprocessors.
It is also known in the prior art to replace various mechanical timing devices in complex machines, such as internal combusion engines with digital electronics. Many such timing mechanisms have been replaced in automobile engines through the use of digital data processing circuits embodied in microprocessor integrated circuits, in combination with various electronic and electromechanical sensing circuits.
However, labelling machines are very complex devices with many unique problems. Hitherto, it has not been known in the art to replace the mechanical control systems for main drive shafts used in labelling machines with digital data processing and electrical sensing circuits. Examples of such labelling machines are described, for example, in the following commonly assigned issued patents and pending patent applications: U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,765,991; 4,108,709; 4,181,555; 4,188,843; 4,242,167; 4,336,095; and application Ser. No. 783,285.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to adapt digital data processing technology to a labelling machine.
It is another object of the invention to provide a digital data processing system in which electrical circuits are utilized to provide inputs representing positions and other information about the various components of a labelling machine and the labels and containers passing through the machine.
It is another object of the invention to provide such a labelling machine system for continuous roll label feeding.
It is still another object of the invention to provide a labelling machine in which labels are continuously fed as long as there are containers being fed through the machine to receive labels.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide such a labelling machine which is responsive to scanning marks placed on the kerf areas of labels as an aid in positioning the label properly with respect to a container.
The attainment of the foregoing and related objects may be achieved through use of the novel labelling machine and labelling machine system herein disclosed. The system of this invention includes a labelling machine and digital data processing means operatively coupled to the labelling machine. At least one sensing circuit is connected to supply input signals obtained from an operation of the labelling machine as an input to the digital data processing means. In a preferred form of the invention, a stepping motor used to advance the label in the machine is directed by a program in the digital data processing means to advance the label. The stepper motor is directed by the program to make a predetermined number of steps per machine cycle or per container. An encoder is also preferably connected to the data processing means so that a rate of the stepping motor is supplied as an input to the digital data processing means. The digital data processing means is also preferably connected to allow a user of the system to enter a particular label length as an input. The program of the digital data processing means then receives the other parameters supplied by the sensing circuits and operates the labelling machine to feed that size label to containers passing through the machine. The ability of the user to select any desired label length and have the machine operate properly for that length label without any mechanical adjustments to the labelling machine means that changing labels in the labelling machine is reduced from an operation taking 30 minutes or so to about 30 seconds.
The attainment of the foregoing and related objects, advantages and features of the invention should be more readily apparent to those skilled in the art, after review of the following more-detailed description of the invention, taken together with the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a computer controlled labelling machine in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a portion of the system shown in FIG. 1.
Turning now to the drawings, more particularly to FIG. 1, there is shown a system 50 in accordance with the invention. The system 50 includes a labelling machine 52 and a digital data processing system 54. The digital data processing system 54 is implemented in this embodiment with a Gould Modicon-P190/484, although it should be understood that the digital data processing system 54 could be implemented with any one of a large number of commercially available control oriented data processing systems which, for example, utilize commercially available microprocessor integrated circuits, such as an Intel 8086, Intel 8088, Motorola 68000, Fairchild 9445, National Semiconductor 16000, or the like, to form the processing unit of such control oriented data processing systems.
The labelling machine 52 includes a cutter 56 having a shaft 58 including a mark 60, which is sensed by an encoder 62, which supplies shaft 58 position and rotation rate data signals as inputs to the digital data processing system 54 on line 63, through an interface 65. The encoder 62 could be replaced with any suitable sensor, such as a magnetic sensing means, with a structure of the shaft 58 serving the function of the mark 60 by perturbing a magnetic field to which the magnetic sensing means is responsive. In practice, the encoder 62 is preferably implemented with a C and A Model HT-11B encoder, obtainable from C and A Products. The interface 65 is preferably implemented with a PCEF Encoder Interface Module, which converts the shaft 58 position and rate information to binary coded decimal (BCD) form. The digital data processing system 54 supplies a rotation rate control signal at a rate of, for example, 2,000 pulses per revolution of a label-feed roll 66 on line 64 to a stepping motor 67, which is connected to feed roll 66 by a shaft 69, through a stepping motor control 71. The rotation rate control signal on line 64 is such that the feed roll 66 will supply continuous label sheet 68 to the cutter at a proper rate so that the cutter 56 will separate an individual label 70 from the sheet 68 at the kerf 72 dividing each individual label from its next adjacent neighbors.
Each label 70 includes a positioning mark 74. The positioning mark 74 is sensed by an optical sensor 76 as a means of preventing the sheet 68 from "creeping" with respect to the cutter 56, so that the cutter 56 begins to slit the sheet 68 at other locations than the kerf 72. The optical sensor 76 is connected to the data processing system 54 by line 78. The optical sensor 76 supplies a signal on line 76 when a mark 74 is sensed. The digital data processing system 54 compares the shaft 58 at the time the mark 74 is sensed with the position shaft 58 should have in order for label 70 feed and shaft 58 position to be synchronized for proper label 70 slitting. The optical sensor 76 is preferably implemented with a Banner CVG-1 sensor, obtainable from Banner, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota.
When it is desired to replace a roll 80 of the labels 70 with a roll of labels having a different length than that of the labels 70, the length of the new labels in inches is entered into the digital data processing system 54 by means of thumbwheel switches 82 on the front panel 84. An angular position in degrees for shaft 58 when a mark 74 should be sensed by sensor 76 is dialed in with thumbwheel switches 83. A tolerance for the angular position in degrees in also entered by means of thumbwheel switch 85.
FIG. 2 shows the data processing system 54 in the system of FIG. 1 in more detail.
The system 54 includes a processor 100. Input modules 102, 104, and 106 are connected to supply input to the processor 100. An input/output module 108 is also connected to supply inputs to the processor 100 and supply outputs from the system 54 on line 112 for certain machine control functions conventional in the art and not forming a part of this invention. However, these other control functions are provided using the same data processing system 54 used for the rest of the invention. An output module 110 is connected to receive outputs from the processor 100, to be supplied to the stepper motor control on line 113.
Interface module 65 is connected to the input module 104 of data processing system 54 by line 63. The thumbwheel switches 82, 83, and 85 are respectively connected to the input multiplexer module 102 by lines 114, 116, and 118. Inputs from other sensors attached to the labelling machine 52 (see also FIG. 1) are supplied on line 120 to the I/O module 108. Outputs for labelling machine 52 control functions are supplied by the I/O module 108 on line 112. Optical sensor 76 supplies the input signal to input module 106 on line 78 when it senses the presence of a registration mark 74.
Attached as an appendix to this specification is a machine language program listing of a suitable control program for the Modicon-P190/484 digital data processing system 54.
It should now be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that a novel digital data processing system controlled labelling machine capable of achieving the stated objects of the invention has been provided. The system 50 feeds labels 70 from roll 80 on a continuous basis to the cutter 56 in such a manner that the cutter will cut the labels 70 at the kerf 72 and supply the cut labels 70 to a container in a consistent manner. Changing the label machine 52 to accommodate different size labels is a simple matter of entering the new label length into the digital data processing system 54.
It should further be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes in form and detail of the invention as shown and described may be made. For example, the mark 74 can be placed on any desired location on the label. It is intended that such changes be included within the spirit and scope of the claims appended hereto.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kenya Moore Lands Two New Gigs, Books a Movie and a TV Series!
Kenya Moore may have brought a boatload of crazy to Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but the newbie is certainly capitalizing on her newfound reality TV fame. Work it, Miss U.S.A.!
When a Twitter follower asked Kenya what's next for her, she replied, "A TV series and feature film."
Now, we know that Kenya was an actress before joining the Bravo show — she reminds of that fact at every chance she gets — and clearly she hasn't forgotten her roots. The beauty queen didn't elaborate on the nature of either of the roles, but we're betting she'll be "Gone With the Wind Fabulous."
One thing's for sure: Kenya is certainly making the most of her RHoA fame!
Are you psyched for Kenya's upcoming projects? Tell us below!

Downeaster noise a downer for Freeport residents; 'quiet zones' vex councilors
FREEPORT — As trains blew their horns in the background, nearly two dozen residents urged the Town Council to institute quiet zones at rail crossings in town to silence the Amtrak Downeaster train horns they said are disrupting their lives.
In a discussion that pushed past 10 p.m. Tuesday, councilors remained hesitant about the costs and liability of quiet zones, eventually pushing the issue to a tentatively scheduled Jan. 8 meeting.
All but one of the more than a dozen residents who spoke supported quiet zones, some to the point of desperation.
Shannon Garrity, who lives on West Street along the tracks, said the early morning train horns wake her, sometimes before 6 a.m., and she's unable to go back to sleep.
"It's absolutely, positively horrible," Garrity said. "I stand in my driveway and cry; this is my life now. There is no concern for the people of Freeport with this plan for economic development. ...We are collateral damage and it's unfair to us."
The Downeaster, which began service to Freeport Nov. 1, makes two round trips a day between Boston and Brunswick, blasting train horns eight times a day at each of the town's six crossings.
Other residents who live near the tracks, including Amanda Myer, said the horns wake up her two children during the night, which is starting to affect their school work.
"My younger daughter is falling asleep at school," she said.
Myer also said she has an in-law house that had been rented for years to the same tenant, who moved out two weeks ago because the train noise was too much to bear. Now, she's having trouble renting the home; one person who decided not to rent cited the train noise as the reason.
"You don't know how loud the train is when it comes by," she said. "There's absolutely an impact on all of us."
Josh Cushing, manager at the Hilton Garden Inn, said although the hotel supports the new train service, noise is the top complaint from patrons and its costing the hotel business.
"We are offering sleep kits with ear plugs to guests to help them get a good night's sleep," he said, noting the kits cost the hotel $1,500 for 250, or $6 each. "We feel the train is beneficial, however the expense to us will only erode over time."
Residents, with data and research on quiet zones in hand, seemed more prepared for the discussion than the councilors: at one point they provided data from the town website that the councilors didn't think they had.
If quiet zones were instituted, the town would likely institute "channelization," which separates traffic lanes with tall plastic cones on both sides of the tracks, acting as a deterrent for people trying to go around the gates.
This method would cost about $100,000.
Other options include raised medians, which could prove difficult for snow plowing, and a system of "quad gates," that can cost upwards of $1 million.
Many councilors didn't seem ready to take a position. They noted a need to review the data on safety and costs and to get more information on how to proceed with getting a quiet zone designation from the Federal Rail Authority.
Currently, the town has lights, gates and bells at all the crossings and meets the requirements to be designated a quiet zone. Other southern Maine towns and cities serviced by the Downeaster, including Portland, Falmouth and Brunswick, are quiet zones.
But, if another daily train is added – which the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority has indicated is a goal – the town could cross the risk threshold and lose the ability to have quiet zone status, Councilor Melanie Sachs said.
Sachs, who was in favor of quiet zones, but not ready to commit without more information, said the town should use its own data to determine risk when trying to become a designated quiet zone. This way the town would be in control of the designation and not have multiple stakeholders' input in an application process.
Council Chaiman Jim Hendircks, who lives near the tracks, said he was in favor of quiet zones based on support from residents and didn't want to "punt this too far down the road."
"Personally, I don't get woken up by the train. But, I'm a heavy sleeper," he said. "The last we'd like to have is an accident; the last thing we'd want is a fatality."
But, he continued, "all things could be prevented by a little education."
The council should also explore the possibility of getting money from the rail authority to help pay for the safety mechanisms, Hendricks said.
