Abstract:
A system is disclosed for a digital rights management system which enforces license rights by establishing an account domain of registered consumer devices which may each receive a decryption key to be used to decode digital content bought by any of the devices within the account domain. Such system further enables the decentralization of content sharing by establishing a network of trusted intermediate devices to manage licenses on end devices for a central rights provider.
Abstract:
A system is disclosed for a digital rights management system which enforces license rights by incorporating a decryption key in a license rights package that further includes an account number associated with a primary consumer. The digital rights management system also includes a mechanism for renewing/updating the license by charging the account number associated with a primary consumer. This way, the consumer may transfer the license rights package along with the digital content to any personal devices he likes but he is discouraged from freely disseminating the license package as uses by other consumers will be debited against his package or, if renewed/extended, charged against his account.

Abstract:
The conveyor system has an endless chain slidingly mounted on and coiled about a frame. This chain has a spaced plurality of linked pins. A drive motor is coupled to the chain for circulating it around the frame. The system has an endless belt coiled around the frame for bearing edgewise over a predetermined length of the chain centrally on its pins. Thus, circulation of the chain causes circulation of the belt.
