Abstract:
The administration of protection of data on a client mobile computing device by a server computer system such as within an enterprise network or on a separate mobile computing device is described. Security tools are described that provide different security policies to be enforced based on a location associated with a network environment in which a mobile device is operating. Methods for detecting the location of the mobile device are described. Additionally, the security tools may also provide for enforcing different policies based on security features. Examples of security features include the type of connection, wired or wireless, over which data is being transferred, the operation of anti-virus software, or the type of network adapter card. The different security policies provide enforcement mechanisms that may be tailored based upon the detected location and/or active security features associated with the mobile device. Examples of enforcement mechanisms are adaptive port blocking, file hiding and file encryption.

Abstract:
The invention provides a method for the preparation of a foamed drink comprising the steps of: providing a capsule containing a foamable ingredient; providing a receptacle positioned to collect fluid escaping from the capsule; injecting liquid into the capsule to mix with the foamable ingredient; allowing the foamable ingredient mixed with the liquid to escape from the capsule into the receptacle; followed by injecting further liquid into the receptacle in a jet having a diameter of from about 0.5 to about 2 mm to produce foamed liquid in the receptacle. The invention also provides capsules, apparatus and systems specifically adapted for use in the method. Preferably, the food ingredient is a milk powder, and the method produces a hot foamed beverage such as a cappuccino coffee.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for delivering and reducing the profile of a catheter for delivering a stent graft including integral branch connections. A configuration of a branch vessel stent graft, including a branch vessel connection connecting a very thin walled PTFE tubular branch to a woven polyester main body. The connection is made by using by overmolding the PTFE on a polymer ring, such as silicone. In another configuration, a main body portion includes branch portions where ends of the branch portions are connected to leads extending from a sheath of a stent graft compressed in a delivery catheter. The leads are routed into accessible branches of body lumens and act as pullwires to pull the branch portions into position in their respective branches as the delivery catheter is released to deploy the main body of the stent graft. Apertures in the main body portion are alignable with the branch lumens and an anchoring stent is separately deployed to extend and/or main the extension of the branch portion in the branch lumen and anchor it therein.
Abstract:
The invention is a system to produce lighted patterns on hubcaps which lighted patterns correspond analogically to sound. Such sound sources are a radio, a CD player, a tape player, a DVD player, or a microphone. A transfer means, either wired or wireless, receive electronic impulses that represent sounds from music source. That transfer means carries the electronic impulses that corresponds analogically to sound to a color transformation device which control the various types of lights. The signals that control the various types of lights are transported either by wire or wireless to a receiver inside hubcaps or to a receiver which is external to the hubcaps. Such an external receiver light source projects various color sequences onto hubcaps. The light source controlled by receiver internal to the hub cap transfers such light by fiber optics or refractory (fresnal lens) materials to the surface of the hubcap. Likewise, the source of the light for the hubcaps may be a projector that focuses on outer surface of the hubcap. The special hubcaps can be attached and rotate at the same rate as the wheel, or may be free-wheeling type hubcaps. In an alternative embodiment of the invention the lights projected may be pictures from a camera or a DVD which pictures project onto the hubcaps. The external projector may be permanently attached or may be removable.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a library, methods of making a library of biologically active molecules and uses thereof. The library comprises a plurality of chelating ligand pairs, each said ligand pair including two ligands that bind specifically to distinct epitopes on the same target molecule and the two ligands of each ligand pair being joined by a linker, wherein the members of the library comprise linkers of variable length and variable amino acid composition.
Abstract:
A device to implant impurities into a semiconductor wafer has a process chamber having a wall, a pressure compensation unit, a disk to support a plurality of semiconductor wafers within the process chamber. The disk has a radially extending slot arranged among the wafers. A beam gun is positioned within the process chamber to shoot an ion beam at the semiconductor wafers. A cryo pump minimizes the pressure within the process chamber. A first ion gauge is positioned between the process chamber and the cryo pump. A second ion gauge extends through the wall of the process chamber. A switching device selectively connects the first or second ion gauge to the pressure compensation unit. A faraday receives ions from the ion gun filter after the ions travel through the slot in the disk. A current meter counts the number of electrons flowing to the disk faraday to neutralize the ions.
Abstract:
A vacuum cleaner includes a first housing defining a cyclonic airflow chamber and a second housing defining a main suction opening that is in communication with an inlet of the cyclonic chamber. A suction source has a suction airstream inlet in communication with an outlet of the cyclonic chamber, and establishes a suction airstream that enters said main suction opening, passes through said cyclonic chamber, and passes to an outlet of said suction source. A substantial portion of particulates entrained in the suction airstream are separated therefrom when said suction airstream moves in a cyclonic fashion through the cyclonic chamber. A main filter assembly, preferably including filter medium comprising polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), is located in the cyclonic chamber so that a suction airstream moving from the main suction opening to the inlet of said suction source by way of the cyclonic airflow chamber passes through the filter medium thereof after said airstream moves in a cyclonic fashion within the cyclonic airflow chamber to remove residual particulates from the suction airstream before it leaves the cyclonic chamber. A HEPA filter can be provided to filter the suction airstream exhausted through the outlet of the suction source prior to the airstream being discharged from the vacuum.
Abstract:
Characterizing traffic conditions by analyzing operational data taken from a wireless communication network to generate traffic information. Location estimates can be made based on processing the operational data. This location can be combined with computerized street maps to measure the time it takes to get from one geographic area to another. By aggregating and analyzing anonymous data from thousands of devices, the present invention is able to determine real-time and historical travel times and velocities between cities, intersections and along specific routes.
