20110055984 | Tip-enhanced resonant apertures - Transmission efficiency and/or spatial resolution provided by resonant apertures can be enhanced by disposing a tip on part of the screen that extends laterally into the aperture. For example, a tip disposed on the ridge of a C-shaped aperture can dramatically improve performance. A spatial resolution of λ/50 has been experimentally demonstrated with this approach. The combination of high spatial resolution and high transmission efficiency provided by this approach enables many applications, such as near field optical probes for near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Another application is high resolution electron sources, where an photoelectron emitter can be disposed at or near a tip+aperture structure such that the high resolution optical near-field provides a correspondingly high resolution electron source. | 03-03-2011 |

20120036041 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR A PERSONAL MULTIMEDIA CONTENT ARCHIVE - The embodiments provide for legally transferring multimedia content stored on a medium to a personal content archive device. The device is configured to consolidate a user's content into a single device or secured storage that allows easy access to the content while preserving the digital rights of the content. When a content medium has been provided, the device queries a registration service over a network, such as the Internet, to register the content and indicate that it was legitimately obtained. The device may then be authorized to download and store an authorized version of the content into its secured storage. The authorized version may be the same or a variation of the registered content. The content may then be downloaded from one or more content sources. The registration process may be based on several criteria, such as an authenticity check of the medium, a fee payment, and the like. | 02-09-2012 |

20130266137 | Digital rights managment system, devices, and methods for binding content to an intelligent storage device - The present invention relates to digital rights management (DRM) for content that may be downloaded and bound to a storage device. The storage device may be an intelligent storage device, such as a disk drive, or network attached storage. In addition, the storage device is capable of performing cryptographic operations and providing a root of trust. In one embodiment, the DRM employs a binding key, a content key, and an access key. The binding key binds the content to a specific storage and is based on a key that is concealed on the storage. However, the binding key is not stored on the storage with the content. The content key is a key that has been assigned to the content, for example, by a trusted third party. The access key is determined based on a cryptographic combination of the content key and the binding key. In one embodiment, the content is encrypted based on the access key and stored in encrypted form in the storage device. | 10-10-2013 |
20130268749 | DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR PROVISIONING CONTENT TO AN INTELLIGENT STORAGE - The present invention relates to digital rights management (DRM) for content that downloaded and saved to a storage device. The storage may be a disk drive, or network attached storage. In addition, the storage device performs cryptographic operations and provides a root of trust. The DRM employs a binding key, a content key, and an access key. The binding key binds the content to a specific storage and is based on a key that is concealed on the storage. The binding key is not stored on the storage device with the content. The content key is a key that has been assigned to the content. The access key is determined based on a cryptographic combination of the content key and the binding key. In one embodiment, the content is provisioned based on the access key and stored in encrypted form in the storage device. | 10-10-2013 |
20130268759 | DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TRANSFER OF CONTENT AND DISTRIBUTION - The present invention relates to digital rights management (DRM) for content that may be downloaded and securely transferred from one storage to another storage. The storage may be a disk drive, or network attached storage. The storage performs cryptographic operations and provides a root of trust. The DRM system enables secure copying or transfer of content from one storage device to another storage device. In this embodiment, a trusted server that is authenticated and trusted by both storage devices brokers the transfer of content. The trusted server may be a separate entity of the DRM system or may be a component or function of an existing server of the DRM system. In another embodiment, the storage devices may transfer content in a peer-to-peer fashion. The transfer of content may be authorized and controlled based on a digital certificate associated with the content. | 10-10-2013 |
20130268771 | DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ACCESSINGCONTENT FROM AN INTELLIGENT STORAG - The present invention relates to accessing content stored on a storage device and protecting the content with a digital rights management (DRM) scheme. The storage device may be a disk drive, or network attached storage. The storage device can perform cryptographic operations and provide a hardware root of trust. The DRM employs a binding key, a content key, and an access key. The binding key binds the content to the storage device and is based on a key concealed on the storage device. The binding key itself is not stored anywhere on the storage device. The content key is a key assigned to the content. The access key is determined based on a cryptographic combination of the content key and binding key. In one embodiment, the content is encrypted based on the access key and stored in encrypted form in the storage device. | 10-10-2013 |
