Abstract:
A method and system are disclosed for platform-independent file system interaction that can abstract the system-level idiosyncrasies associated with multi-platform, multi-language, multi-encoding file system interactions. One embodiment of the method of this invention can comprise instantiating a string object via a development environment coded calling process and setting a file name and a file path, having an easily-identifiable format, for the string object with the calling process. The string object can determine the encoding of the file name and the file path and the calling process can forward the string object and an associated file operation to an operating system level file system interface handler. The operating system level file system interface handler can call an operating system naming function to format the string object. The string object naming function can be compiled along with an encoding marker indicating the target operating system for the desired file operation. The file name and the file path can be transcoded, based on the encoding marker value, to the encoding of the target operating system. The transcoded file name and file path can be returned to the development environment (e.g., to a developer's application) by the string object naming function. The operating system level file system interface handler can then execute the file operation.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, method, and computer program product for establishing a secure network connection between a client and a server. The client may send a connection request over a public network to the server. The server may prepare a response containing a controller and session-specific credentials. The controller may be selected to configure a tunneling protocol on the client. After being downloaded to the client, the controller configures the tunneling protocol and establishes a secure network connection with the server without user intervention. The session-specific credentials are valid until the secure network connection between the client and the server is severed.
Abstract:
Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system, method, and computer program product for obtaining secure connectivity between networked computing devices. The invention comprises utilizing a network protocol inherent to an operating system on a client device to automatically set up and establish a transient secure network connection endpoint on the client device. The act of utilizing can be a result of a server device responding to a connection request from the client device. The act of establishing the transient secure network connection endpoint on the client device creates a transient secure network connection between the server device and the transient secure network connection endpoint on the client device without manual intervention or configuration by a user at the client device. Secured access by the client device to one or more network devices is permitted until the transient secure network connection between the server device and the client device is severed.
Abstract:
An exercise apparatus to simulate climbing is described that includes such features as arm handles that move in synchronism with the motion of foot pedals to provide a total body workout; side handrails; a mounting step; linear foot movement at a simulated climbing angle; a three point support structure using a vertical support column; pedal track covers; a mechanism to provide constant resistance to pedal motion; and pedal impact absorption.

Abstract:
One embodiment creates a model of the traffic through a network firewall and uses that model to dynamically manipulate the network firewall. The firewall model defines nodes, connections between the nodes, and firewall rules applicable to the nodes, the connections between the nodes, or a combination thereof. Each of the nodes represents simultaneously a source and a destination for data packets. The firewall rules include dynamic chains of rules having defined places where firewall rules may be dynamically inserted into or deleted from the firewall while the firewall is operating on one or more machines connected to network segments where the nodes reside.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing a secure connection between networked computers are disclosed. A computer may make a request for a secure connection to another networked computer. In response, configuration data may be sent to the requesting computer which configures a protocol on the requesting computer and establishes a secure connection with the other networked computer. This configuration data may advantageously utilize protocols inherent to particular operating systems to setup and establish this secure connection in an automated fashion, and may include a controller designed to both automatically configure such a protocol and automatically establish a secure connection using the protocol.
