20090077371 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A TEMPLATE-BASED ENCRYPTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - An encryption management system provides a solution for embedded system device authentication, secure server-to-device communications, and encryption key management. It reduces implementation times and costs associated with using cryptography for authentication and data privacy with embedded systems applications by freeing application developers from having to develop, manage, or update security-based features in their server-based applications. The template-based approach of the system provides highly customable and accessible security functionalities. To utilize services provided by the encryption management system in some embodiments, calling applications provide input parameters and function calls in the form of a template at runtime, and the output in the form of encrypted and secured messages are either sent to the client devices automatically or returned to the calling applications. As such, security functionalities and objects, though segregated in the encryption management system to provide enhanced protection, can still be easily accessed and can be updated without recompiling the calling applications. | 03-19-2009 |

The birefringent medium is constructed from a gaseous substance and a magnetic field, where the gaseous substance has one or more absorption lines near the probe light frequency. The magnetic field permeates the gaseous substance and shifts the frequency of the absorption line(s) by the Zeeman effect. The method includes probe light emitted from a transmitter, which scatters off of a target, then the scattered probe light is collected and transmitted through the optical spectrometer where frequency is measured. With measurement of probe light frequency, a variety of information about the target can be deduced. | 08-15-2013 |

The circular birefringent medium changes the polarization of light of a particular frequency bandwidth. So that after passing through the first polarizer, the polarization of a particular frequency bandwidth probe light is rotated between crossed polarizers so it will be transmitted through the second polarizer. The birefringent medium is constructed from a gaseous substance such as atomic vapor and two pump lasers in resonance with absorption lines of the absorbing substance by the process of two-photon absorption. A magnetic field is utilized in some embodiments that permeates the absorbing substance and separates absorption lines for excited state transitions by the Zeeman effect. | 05-07-2015 |
