Head to
http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-adv.html
and paste the following line in the Query field:
IN/Umeno-Ken

You'll get patent applications, many I guess involving
the person cited in the "New Scientist" article cited by
"The Register", with #20050242987 revolving around using
stars as a random number generator for cryptography.

The same query at
http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/search-adv.htm
will give you US patents, and confort you in the opinion
that the guy has a, foundness, for random numbers.
