International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

711159, 711154, 711166

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a system and method for the secure and correct deletion of data files from a data storage that bypasses the file system of an operating system. A secure erase service receives a secure erase request from a system interceptor component, which has intercepted a system call from an application. The system call interceptor component communicates with the secure erase service via an interprocess communication module. The secure erase service receives the secure erase request from the interprocess communication module and communicates the secure erase request to a secure erase library. Using the file information contained in the secure erase request, the secure erase library queries the file system of the data storage device to determine the location of data blocks containing the to be deleted data. Once, the location of the data blocks has been determined, the secure erase library then instructs the device driver, via a virtual file system, to overwrite the data blocks storing the electronic file a predetermined number of times.

Abstract:

The present invention enables users to interface with a wide range of computing and telecommunication devices seamlessly without a cable connecting the devices. As such, the present invention allows for the replacement of the many proprietary cables that connect one device to another with one universal short-range radio link. The typical BLUETOOTH system consist of four basic components: a radio (RF section) that receives and transmits data and voice; a baseband or link control unit that processes the transmitted or received data; link management software that manages the transmission; and supporting application software. Electronic devices incorporating BLUETOOTH technology will replace RS-232, parallel, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and other types of cables with a single, standard wireless connection. BLUETOOTH radio technology will also provide a universal bridge to existing data networks, a peripheral interface, and a mechanism to form small private ad hoc groupings of connected devices away from fixed network infrastructures.

International Classification:

G06F 21/00
H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 4, 726 21, 713185

Abstract:

A system and method for the selective sharing of an electronic document. The method enables a user to share access to an electronic document stored on a repository on a document management system. A user, via a document processing services network, generates a password and token corresponding to the document to be shared. The token provides information regarding the electronic document to be shared and the way the shared document will be made available to other users. The user then gives the token along with the password to the other users desiring to have access to the shared document. The other users are then able to retrieve the electronic document via email, viewing on a web browser, or printing at a multifunction peripheral device.

International Classification:

G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 115

Abstract:

The subject application is directed to a mobile document processing system and method. A request for a transient address corresponding to mobile document processing operations is first received from an associated user. Upon receipt of the request, a transient address is generated corresponding to the associated user. Transient address data is then generated for routing electronic documents in accordance with a received document processing request. A document processing request is then received corresponding to a request for the performance of processing of at least one electronic document. The at least one electronic document is then routed to an associated document processing device, data storage device, or facsimile device corresponding to the transient address. The associated document processing device, data storage device, or facsimile device then commences a document processing operation according to the received document processing request. Upon the occurrence of a selected event, the transient address is deleted.

US Classification:

600 37

Abstract:

A system for securing an implantable apparatus to a mammal includes a mount including a base portion having a plurality of holes dimensioned to receive rotationally-driven fasteners, each fastener comprising a helical portion having a tip configured for tissue penetration, the mount configured to secure the implantable apparatus relative to tissue of the mammal upon driving the fasteners into the tissue. The system further includes a fastening tool configured to rotationally drive the helical portion of the fasteners into the tissue. The mount may be secured to the fascia covering the sternum via a subcutaneous securement method, or it may be attached to the intra-abdominal wall, behind the sternum, or it may be attached to the sternum directly via bone screws or the like.

International Classification:

US Classification:

600478000

Abstract:

An endoscopic probe is combined with a source of radiation to measure a sample. A probe body includes a nonrotating transmission path and is communicated to the source to transmit radiation from the source from the proximal to the distal portion of the probe body. A micromotor is disposed in a distal portion of the probe body to provide a motive force. A movable scanner is coupled to the motor and is arranged and configured so that the scanner is directed toward or faces the transmission path. The scanner redirects the radiation from the source from the distal portion of the probe body into a scanned pattern onto the sample according to the motive force applied to the scanner from the motor. Back reflected radiation is received from the sample and is transmitted along the transmission path to the proximal portion of the probe body.
