Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a Mode Select command concerning a logical unit number (LUN) from a first host, wherein the Mode Select command defines control information and host identifier information concerning the first host, and the LUN is currently being controlled by a second host. The Mode Select command is processed to determine if the control information and host identifier information included within the Mode Select command signifies an intent by the first host to seize control of the LUN from the second host. If the control information and host identifier information signifies an intent to seize control of the LUN from the second host, the control information and host identifier information included within the Mode Select command is written to a buffer associated with the LUN, wherein the buffer includes a control field and a globally unique identifier (GUID) field.
Abstract:
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a Mode Select command concerning a single LUN from each of a plurality of potential hosts. Each Mode Select command defines control information and host identifier information concerning the potential host associated with the Mode Select command. The received Mode Select commands are processed serially and in accordance with the order in which the Mode Select commands were received. The first Mode Select command received is accepted and subsequent Mode Select commands received are rejected, thus defining an accepted Mode Select command and one or more rejected Mode Select commands. The control information and host identifier information included within the accepted Mode Select command are written to a buffer associated with the single LUN. The buffer includes a control field and a GUID field.
Abstract:
An encryption and authentication technique that achieves enhanced integrity verification through assured error-propagation using a multistage sequence of pseudorandom permutations. The present invention generates intermediate data-dependent cryptographic variables at each stage, which are systematically combined into feedback loops. The encryption technique also generates an authentication tag without any further steps that is N times longer than the block size where N is the number of pseudorandom permutations used in the encipherment of each block. The authentication tag provides a unique mapping to the plaintext for any number of plaintext blocks that is less than or equal to N. In addition to being a stand alone encryption algorithm, the disclosed technique is applicable to any mode that uses pseudorandom permutations such as, key dependent lookup tables, S-Boxes, and block ciphers such as RC5, TEA, and AES.
Abstract:
An electrical port is integrated within a side view mirror assembly of an automotive vehicle. The electrical port is electrically connected with a charging system of the vehicle. The electrical port may be coupled with a power source remote from the vehicle to power the charging system. The electrical port may be concealed or exposed depending on a position of the side view mirror assembly.

Abstract:
A wireless device with a capacity for high bandwidth connectivity adapted to provide access to the Internet or other WAN for a single user or multiple concurrent users. The wireless access device acts as a network point of presence to provide access to a number of different devices. Authorization is performed and billing measures are established in real time. Billing credits may be provided to an account associated with the user of the wireless access device based upon selected metrics (for example, duration of the connection or amount of data passed). In certain implementations, devices that are previously unknown to the wireless access device and that have not received a wireless access device-specific configuration can be provided network access. Thus, instead of a hard-wired point of presence to the Internet, a mobile, ad hoc point of presence is established through the wireless access device.
Abstract:
A cable assembly suitable for use in a transmission mechanism which includes at least one wheel which the cable assembly passes at least partialy around when in use. The cable assembly includes at least one cable having end portions and connecting means for operatively connecting the end portions of the cable so as to form an endless track, the connecting means including a power transmission member and coupling means operatively connecting the end portions of the cable to the power transmission member, the power transmission member being receivable within recesses in the wheel as the cable assembly passes therearound.
Abstract:
A controlled leakage seal assembly having a first stationary portion adapted to be connected in substantially fluid-tight relation to a source of drilling fluid and a second portion adapted to be connected in substantially fluid-tight relation to a rotary portion including a washpipe. The seal includes a first housing and a stack of radially inwardly extending, spaced apart annular stators, and a second seal housing and stack of spaced apart radially outwardly extending annular rotors interleaved with one another. The seal assembly, a cartridge, permits the first and second housings to rotate relative to each other in substantially fluid-tight relation except for the drilling fluid entering an outlet region at greatly reduced pressure. In a preferred embodiment, the seal is held by a sleeve that permits the cartridge to be removed and replaced while the fluid connections to the sleeve remains.
