Encryption and decryption device, and encryption method and decryption method thereof

An encryption method involves generating a set of orthogonal vectors; multiplying first data by a first orthogonal vector S212 in the set of orthogonal vectors to generate a first product, multiplying second data by a second orthogonal vector S214 in the set of orthogonal vectors to generate a second product, summing the first and second products S216 to generate encrypted data, and storing the encrypted data S218. The data can be decrypted by multiplying the encrypted data by the first or second vector to retrieve the first or second data respectively. The first data and the second data may belong to different data types. The data may be scrambled S208, S210 before being encrypted. The encryption system may be used in a utilities meter to prevent any one application gaining access to data from another application.

Bin1 as a prognostic marker in cardiovascular disease

The present disclosure provides methods involving use of BIN1 expression levels, in heart tissue, in evaluating the risk of cardiac mortality in a patient diagnosed with congestive heart failure. The methods finds use in evaluating patients who are heart transplant candidates, as well as in assessing efficacy of treatment in congestive heart failure patients.

Registering brain images by aligning reference ellipses

In a method of registering three-dimensional brain images, a reference slice for a midsagittal plane of each image is constructed. The reference slice comprises image points forming a cortical edge. Edge points are selected from these image points such that an ellipse fit to the edge points approximates the cortical edge. The reference ellipse in each image that fits the edge points is determined. The images are registered in a same coordinate system such that the reference ellipses in the images are aligned with one another.

Animal treatment system and method thereof

The present invention relates to an innovative treatment system with a large capacity of 4,000 kg to 32,000 kg /per 8 hours up to 24 hours, and an animal incinerator is of the largest capacity all over the world at the present time. The present invention, comprising assemblable and movable devices that can be moved to any location needed, provides special functions: as carcasses be fed and dismembered automatically and continuously before incinerating, solids and liquids thereof being separated automatically, wherein the liquids can be reused after being evaporated and cooled, the solids be conveyed into the combustion chamber for incinerating, and combustible materials be kept moving, stirring and burning automatically in the furnace. The incinerator is equipped with scrubbers, shifters and a conveyor in the chamber having an automatic ash withdrawal. All systems described above conform to legal environmental regulations and fully meet environmental requirements.

Suitcase with protective cover

mala com capa protetora. mala com capa protetora, uma mala formada por dois corpos côncavos que se prendem por elementos de fixação formando um espaço livre entre ambo os corpos que reveste casco duro; na abertura de cada corpo côncavo possui um quadro de fixação, o primeiro elemento de fixação se fixa com o segundo elemento de fixação e se fixa no casco duro, sendo assim protegendo o casco duro. suitcase with protective cover. suitcase with protective cover, a suitcase formed by two concave bodies that are held together by fasteners forming a free space between both bodies that cover the hard hull; in the opening of each concave body there is a fixing frame, the first fixing element is fixed with the second fixing element and is fixed in the hard hull, thus protecting the hard hull.

Inner spacers for gate-all-around semiconductor devices

Semiconductor devices and methods of forming the same are provided. A semiconductor device according to the present disclosure includes a first semiconductor channel member and a second semiconductor channel member over the first semiconductor channel member and a porous dielectric feature that includes silicon and nitrogen. In the semiconductor device, the porous dielectric feature is sandwiched between the first and second semiconductor channel members and a density of the porous dielectric feature is smaller than a density of silicon nitride.

Reversing flow blood processing system

A tubular set (10) is provided for the extra-corporeal treatment of blood, for example hemodialysis. The set comprises a patient arterial line (14), and a patient venous line (40) each line having a patient connector at one end thereof. Each patient line connects at its other end to a reversing flow valve (16). The valve also conncets to respective first ends of a blood processing unit arterial line (18), a blood processing unit venous line (30) for connection respectively to arterial, and venous ports of a blood processing device. Blood flow between the two patient lines can be reversed without reversing flow through the two unit lines, and the connected device. This permits the easy performance of dialysis access site patency tests.
