The program information is communicated in block chains to reduce the overhead of the authentication information. The program information is communicated a block at a time, or even a chain at a time, and stored temporarily in block buffers and a cache, then provided to a CPU to be processed. The blocks may be stored in the external storage device according to a scrambled address signal and, the bytes, blocks, and chains may be further randomly re-ordered and communicated to the block buffers …

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 5, 1998. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended October 5, 2018.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 5, 2020.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
