The method includes steps: communication opposite terminal (COT) sends the request end information received from the request end to the key management center (KMC); based on the request end information, KMC validates ID of the request end; after validating validity of the request end, KMC creates shared cipher key for COT and the request end based on the request end information, and self prearranged security information; KMC down sends the created shared cipher key as information of cipher key to COT; using the said shared cipher key, the request end and COT carry out security communication. The invention also discloses device for security communication between terminal devices. Guaranteeing security communication between terminal devices, the invention especially guarantees security communication between ME/UICC/PE and PE.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for near-simultaneous and integrated delivery of bone graft material during the placement of surgical cages or other medical implants in a patient's spine. The integrated fusion cage and graft delivery device according to various embodiments delivers and disperses biologic material through a fusion cage to a disc space and, without withdrawal from the surgical site, may selectably detach the fusion cage for deposit to the same disc space. The integrated fusion cage and graft delivery device is formed such that a hollow tube and plunger selectively and controllably place bone graft material and a fusion cage in or adjacent to the bone graft receiving area. In one embodiment, the integrated fusion cage is an expandable integrated fusion cage.

The invention relates to a method of coordinating and stabilizing the delivery of wind generated power, such as to a power grid, so as to avoid sudden surges and spikes, despite wind speed fluctuations and oscillations. The method preferably uses a plurality of windmill stations, including a number of immediate use stations, energy storage stations, and hybrid stations, wherein energy can be used directly by the power grid, and stored for later use when demand is high or wind availability is low. The method contemplates forming an energy delivery schedule, to coordinate the use of direct energy and energy from storage, based on daily wind speed forecasts, which help to predict the resulting wind power availability levels for the upcoming day. The schedule preferably sets a reduced number of constant power output periods during the day, during which time energy delivery levels remain substantially constant, despite fluctuations and oscillations in wind speed and wind power availability levels.

The present invention relates to a method and a computerized process for automated agents (software-only through e-commerce channels, software-controlled transport such as drones and autonomous vehicles, software-based through handheld devices such as smartphones and remote terminals), which ratify contracts on behalf of principals for transfer of goods and services. This method and computerized process is embodied by software that can be used to access brokered contract parameter data, as available in distributed ledger protocols, to establish trusted relationships and workflow steps between software-based agents (artificial intelligence or otherwise algorithmically-derived). It should be further noted that software agents will send and receive workflow instructions and status to a server entity for reconciliation and exception handling.

The present invention provides a gearless drive mechanism, facilitating the connection between an output shaft of a continuously variable transmission and a rotating shaft of a driven body, and transmitting the rotating speed of the output shaft to the rotating shaft of the driven body with good accuracy. The gearless drive mechanism includes: an input shaft 4 rotating on receiving the driving force; an output shaft 5, one end of which is connected to the input shaft through a variable speed mechanism, the other end being projected from a casing; a first gear 42 disposed outside the casing 3 to be spline-coupled to the projecting part of the output shaft 5 and rotated in a body with the output shaft 5; and a second gear 44 rotatablely supported on the casing 3 through a support shaft 43 to mesh with the first gear 42.

The present invention provides muscle-derived cells, preferably myoblasts and muscle-derived stem cells, genetically engineered to contain and express one or more heterologous genes or functional segments of such genes, for delivery of the encoded gene products at or near sites of musculoskeletal, bone, ligament, meniscus, cartilage or genitourinary disease, injury, defect, or dysfunction. Ex vivo myoblast mediated gene delivery of human inducible nitric oxide synthase, and the resulting production of nitric oxide at and around the site of injury, are particularly provided by the invention as a treatment for lower genitourinary tract dysfunctions. Ex vivo gene transfer for the musculoskeletal system includes genes encoding acidic fibroblast growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, platelet derived growth factor, transforming growth factor-β, transforming growth factor-α, nerve growth factor and interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein (IRAP), bone morphogenetic protein (BMPs), cartilage derived morphogenetic protein (CDMPs), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and sonic hedgehog proteins.

Disclosed are a method and a system for the secure delivery of requested, valuable and/or time sensitive packages by authorized delivery agencies, without requiring that the recipient be present. Generally, in accordance with the present invention, a package is delivered to a specially designed receptacle such as a bin or a specially designed mailbox. The receptacle accepts the package if it is an expected package delivered by the expected delivery agency. Two specific implementations of the present invention are disclosed herein. The first has minimal impact on the order and delivery infrastructure existing in the world today. The second implementation is a more integrated approach, but requires that sales and delivery entities implement the interfaces to the secure package delivery bin solution.

A data storage system having protocol controller for converting packets between PCIE format used by a storage processor and Rapid IO format used by a packet switching network. The controller includes a PCIE end point for transferring atomic operation (DSA) requests, a data pipe section having a plurality of data pipes for passing user data; and a message engine section for passing messages among the plurality of storage processors. An acceleration path controller bypasses a DSA buffer in the absence of congestion on the network. Packets fed to the PCIE end point include an address portion having code indicating an atomic operation. An encoder converts the code from a PCIE format into the same atomic operation in SRIO format. Each one of a plurality of CPUs is adapted to perform a second DSA request during execution of a first DSA request.
