Authentication apparatus and method for home network devices

An authentication method in a home network having at least one communicatable device and a home server which controls the devices, in which the home server authenticates the devices forming the home network. The home server generates the authentication key using the stored unique information of the home network device, and sends the generated authentication key together with the unique information to the device. The home server compares the operation value with respect to the generated authentication key and the unique information with the value received from the device, and completes the authentication when the two values are the same.

Luminary product

A decorated luminary product includes a candle holder containing a candle, wherein at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the candle holder has a hammered texture such that light passing through the candle holder varies substantially as a result of variation of refraction of the light. A decorative web of a heat-shrinkable polymer may be heat shrunk to conform to the outer surface of the candle holder. The web is decorated with an ink or pigmentation to cooperate with light and / or heat emitted by burning the candle, so as to provide a pleasing visual effect when the candle is burned, while the hammered texture of the candle holder causes variations in the refraction of light emitted from the candle, causing further visual effects. The refraction of light caused by the hammered texture of the candle holder also provides aesthetically pleasing effects when the candle is unlit, due to variations in the image on the web resulting from variation in the light observed passing through the candle holder.

Melting plate candles

The present invention relates to melting plate candles which employ heat conductive elements to distribute heat from a burning flame at a wick to a support plate for a solid fuel and to the body of said solid fuel, so as to more rapidly liquify the solid fuel, such as paraffin wax, and to more uniformly and intensely heat such fuels to increase the efficiency of consumption thereof and to more rapidly release volatile materials contained within said fuels. The heat conductive support plate is configured so as to have a capillary lobe upon the surface thereof, which cooperatively engages a wick holder comprising a preferably consumable wick and heat conductive fins which conduct heat from a flame upon said wick to said support plate, said wick holder further engaging said solid fuel, and said support plate being configured so as to cause the flow of liquified fuel to the wick holder. The fuel may be provided in various forms, configured to cooperatively engage said wick holder and support plate, and may comprise various volatile materials. The capillary lobe, in conjunction with the wick holder, causes rapid and complete flow of the liquefied fuel to said wick.

Process for controlling the alumina content of the bath in electrolysis cells for aluminum production

A process for control of the alumina content of the bath in a cell for production of aluminum by electrolysis of alumina dissolved in a molten cryolite-base salt, consisting of alternation of phases of alumina underfeeding and phases of alumina overfeeding compared with a theoretical mean rate of alumina consumption of the cell, the said alternation being a function of values, calculated at the end of each control cycle i of duration T, of the mean resistance R(i) measured at the cell electrode terminals, of the rate of change of this resistance or resistance slope P(i), of the rate of change of the resistance slope or curvature C(i) and of the extrapolated slope PX(i)=P(i)+C(i)xT, these values being compared respectively with reference values Po, Co and PXo in order to modulate, according to an appropriate control algorithm, the alumina content of the bath in a very narrow concentration range between 1.5 and 3.5%.

Flame cover

A flame cover device for use with mechanical candle holders, especially for use with candle holders in which the candle is spring-driven to the top of a tube as the candle is consumed. The apparatus may be removably disposed upon the top portion of the tube of the mechanical candle holder, where it remains motionless while the candle is burned by combustion, yet provides protection from and to the burning flame. A base of the device is engaged with the tube of the mechanical candle holder, with vents in the base providing adequate ventilation to the flame. A transparent shell extends up from the base to provide flame protection. A ring damper is provided for covering the vents in the base to assist the flame in windy conditions.
