A method is provided for securely providing data for use in a consumer electronics device having a processor performing instructions defined in a software image. The method includes receiving the data encrypted according to a global key, further encrypting the data according to a device-unique hardware key, storing the further encrypted data in a secure memory of the consumer electronics device, providing the global key to a whitebox encoder for encoding according to a base key to generate a whitebox encoded global key, and transmitting the software image to the consumer electronics device for storage in an operating memory of the consumer electronics device, the software image having a whitebox decoder utility corresponding to the whitebox encoder and the whitebox encoded global key.

The invention describes processes to prepare levulinic acid, formic acid and/or hydroxymethyl furfural from various biomass materials.

Process to prepare levulinic acid

A Digital Rights Management (DRM) system is provided that reduces time for a move transaction using DTCP-IP when a copy is moved back or checked back in to an originating Personal Video Recorder (PVR). During a DTCP MOVE transaction, instead of transferring the full asset in a check back in operation to the PVR, a unique and abbreviated representation of the original copy of the asset would be made for the transfer. This abbreviated representation takes the form of a hash constructed from a hashing function which uses characteristics of the asset as inputs. This hash will have to be a unique and near guaranteed indicator of the original content, to a high probability, so that the copy control system could live up to the spirit of the DTCP spec and the DLNA interoperability guidelines.

Copy count for DTCP with an abbreviation hash used for check in copy

The invention relates generally to the preparation of hydroxymethyl furfural derivatives such as 5-carboxymethyl furfural derivatives, ethers such as 5-alkoxymethyl furfural derivatives, 5-hydroxymethyl furfural, levulinic acid, levulinic acid esters, and/or formic acid, formic acid esters from sugar.

Process to prepare hydroxymethylfurfural derivatives

The invention describes methods of preparation and compositions of plasticizers. The ketal diester products described are useful as components of polymer compositions. The products are excellent plasticizers for a variety of polymers, such as poly(vinylchloride) plastisols.

Ketal ester compounds and uses thereof

A method and system is provided for efficient interruptible transfer of protected media assets. The method of asset transfer uses a segmented asset transfer paradigm which makes possible the implementation of such features as 'watch as you transfer' and 'offsetted resumption of interrupted transfers'. Implementation strategies of these features with support for segmented and contiguous media assets are also disclosed.

Method and apparatus for efficient interruptible transfer of protected media assets

The invention describes processes to selectively remove or reduce the mineral acid content substantially from compositions comprising a solvent and levulinic acid, wherein the levulinic acid was derived from the reaction between various biomass materials and a mineral acid or an organic acid catalyst.

Method for removing mineral acid from levulinic acid

The invention describes methods of preparation and compositions of plasticizers. The plasticizers include at least 2 alkyl ketal ester moieties and have a molecular weight of greater than 300. In one aspect, the alkyl ketal ester moieties are levulinic ester ketals. Certain compositions contain at least one of an antioxidant, a UV stabilizer, a thermal stabilizer or mixtures thereof, present in the composition from about 0.01 to about 5.0 percent by weight of the total composition.

Stabilized levulinic ester ketals

A method is provided for adding extended content data during data stream acquisition. The method includes receiving a request for a transition from a first data stream to a second data stream within a transitioning time period. The method also includes determining whether a timing of the transition is sufficient for insertion of at least a first portion of extended content data during the transition. The method also includes selecting the first portion of the extended content data as insertion content if the timing of the transition is sufficient for insertion of the first portion of the extended content data. The method also includes selecting a second portion of the extended content data as the insertion content if the timing is insufficient for insertion of the first portion of the extended content. The method also includes causing the insertion content to be presented to a user during the transition.

Adding content during data stream acquisition

Disclosed herein is a polyhydroxy ketal adduct obtained by the esterification of a hydrocarbon polyol by at least 1.5 equivalents of a ketocarboxy to produce an intermediate ketocarboxylic ester. The intermediate polyketocarboxylic ester is then ketalized to produce the polyhydroxyketal adduct, which can be used to provide a polymeric composition.

Polyhydroxy ketal ester adducts, methods of manufacture and uses thereof

A method for producing a product that comprises glycerol ketal of ethyl levulinate or propylene glycol ketal of ethyl levulinate comprises reacting either glycerol or propylene glycol with ethyl levulinate in the presence of a homogenous or heterogeneous catalyst system in a reactor system. The ethyl levulinate and either glycerol or propylene glycol are heated to remove water, polyol, and excess ethyl levulinate. The excess ethyl levulinate and polyol is recycled back to the reactor. The product is distilled in a specific fashion and optionally treated by means of a stabilizing agent or acid species removal bed, to obtain a composition comprising glycerol ketal of ethyl levulinate or propylene glycol ketal of ethyl levulinate wherein the composition comprises less than or equal to about 2 wt % contaminants.
