摘要:
A modular geothermal measurement system that provides for the pumping of a heat transfer fluid. The modular unit simplifies on-site installation time by reducing the number of distinct components to be installed and allows for the optional incorporating of additional heat sources or sinks, whereby the length of ground loop can be reduced, further reducing installation costs. The modular measurement system further allows for the growth of the system over time by adding modules, increasing the ground loop pumping power while providing energy transfer data specific to each thermal load. A controller having an energy control module provides energy control points. Such a system allows the beneficiary of a geothermal investment to be billed for their benefit, enabling the investor to capture the economic benefit of the investment.

An inlet duct, an induction system, and a system are disclosed for directing an inlet flow into an inlet compressor for use in an internal combustion engine. An example inlet duct may include one or more relief features disposed on an inner surface of the inlet duct. The one or more relief features may be made integral with the inlet duct. The one or more relief features may be disposed to protrude into the inlet flow to cause the inlet flow to swirl before reaching the inlet compressor.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for defending against a Denial of Service attack wherein a target victim of an attack has recognized the existence of an attack and identified its source. The carrier network which provides service to the victim automatically receives one or more IP (Internet Protocol) source/destination IP address pairs from the victim, and then limits (e.g., blocks) the transmission of packets from the identified source address to the identified destination address. The carrier may implement this filtering capability as a stand-alone box included in the network, or as a line card incorporated into otherwise conventional network elements already present in the network. The source/destination address pairs to be blocked may be advantageously communicated from the victim with use of security signatures and with use of redundant connections from the victim to the carrier network to ensure receipt even under congested network conditions.

Method and apparatus for improving the uniformity of a tire and wheel assembly. The apparatus comrises a frame rotatable through four stations, and displaceable grinding and driving apparatus provided at two of the staions to drive the tire against a rotation grinding wheel, the direction of rotation of the tire and/or grinding wheel being reversed relative to the direction(s) at the previous station.

A system for managing security keys in a wireless network includes a manufacturer certification authority (MCA) for providing a signed digital MCA certificate for installation into a new network element (NE) at the manufacturer's facility prior to the new NE being installed and initialized in the network. The MCA also provides a source of trusted authority for authenticating legacy NEs in the network. The system includes a service provider certification authority for managing certificates and files used by the NEs to communicate securely within the network, a signing server for providing signing services to NEs for authentication, an element manager for providing security key and digital certificate management, and a management agent (MA) for providing proxy functionality of the EM security key services to NEs not directly connected to the EM.

An apparatus for ion implantation using high perveance beams is disclosed. The apparatus includes a dipole magnet apparatus that provides an adjustment to a cross-beam magnetic dipole field in an ion implantation system. Introduction and control of the magnetic dipole field gradient in a low energy implantation system as disclosed herein gives a significant improvement to the magnet's acceptance and beam focusing which largely defines the effective transported beam current. The apparatus involves the use of ferromagnetic yokes of a prescribed shape and a portion of a secondary magnet coil following along the outside radius of a set of primary dipole magnet coils which define and delineate the primary magnetic field area and beam path. The current return path for the secondary magnet coil is via another portion of the secondary magnet coil that follows a path such that the field generated by the return path secondary magnet coil is orthogonal to the primary magnetic field. The resulting magnetic field across the beam cross-section has a sloping shape with relative maxima and minima near the transverse beamline boundary. The action of the magnetic field distribution on the ion beam acts to compensate the space-charge dispersion of high perveance beams.

Methods and apparatus are provided for authenticating a remote service to another service on behalf of a user. A user client authorizes a remote application client to perform one or more actions with a server on behalf of the user client. The user client provides one or more keys to a remote authentication service; receives an identifier of the remote application client, where the remote authentication client is remote from the server; and notifies the remote authentication service that the remote application client is authorized to obtain a response from the remote authentication service regarding a challenge from the server, where the response is based on at least one of the one or more keys stored by the remote authentication service on behalf of the user client. The remote application client provides a challenge that is received from a server that the remote application client is attempting to access for the user client and an identifier of the user client to a remote authentication service and receives a response to the challenge from the remote authentication service, wherein the response is based on one or more keys stored by the remote authentication service on behalf of the user client.
