摘要:
A network architecture for implementation in a vehicle is described that comprises an Ethernet gateway module (EGM) and network interface module (NIM). The EGM comprises an Ethernet switch and router therein and is configured to provide an open data network (ODN) connection to the network architecture for a plurality of open data network devices. The NIM is configured to provide an isolated data network and comprises an Ethernet switch to connect a plurality of secure devices to an isolated data network (IDN), the secure devices related to operation and navigation of the vehicle, a router and a gateway/router. The router is configured to interface the IDN to the open data network connections and comprises a packet filtering function to determine which, if any, data from the ODN may be passed through to the IDN and applied to operation and navigation of the vehicle via the secures devices connected to the IDN. The gateway/router provides network address and protocol translation to connect the IDN to a secure common data network associated with vehicle operation. The architecture provides segregation between network devices in the IDN and CDN related to operation and navigation of the vehicle, and network devices in the ODN.
摘要:
The various aspects of the present invention are based on four main principles: the provision, protection and validation of audit trails relating to data generated by and communicated between nodes of a network; authentication of communicating parties; enforcement of proof of receipt of data communications; and the detection of compromised user identifiers. The object of these principles being that, should a dispute arise over the substance of an authenticated e-mail or other data item, it would be possible to prove, with mathematical precision, the following features of the communication: the content of the message sent; the e-mail location to which the message was addressed; the fact that the message was despatched; the time and date of despatch; the fact that the message was received; the time and date it was received; and the fact that the content of the message had not been changed since it was sent. It is also intended to make it possible to prove the identity of the sender and the identity of the recipient.
摘要:
A method of facilitating the transfer of ions from at least one ionizing pin disposed in an ion air blower into an air stream while the ion air blower is activated. The method includes attaching a baffle to the ion air blower; and positioning the baffle upstream from and proximate to the at least one ionizing pin to cause turbulent flow in the air stream proximate to the tip of the at least one ionizing pin. An ion air blower is also detailed herein. The air blower includes an emitter assembly disposed in a housing. A plurality of ionizing pins extend from the emitter assembly such that the air stream passes over the plurality of ionizing pins. A baffle is disposed proximate to and upstream from the ionizing pins to create turbulent flow in the air stream proximate to a tip of each of the ionizing pins.

An apparatus that supports ionizing pins which extend radially outwardly from an annular assembly ring. The apparatus is preferably used as part of an ion air blower and is preferably contained inside of an ion air blower housing. Also enclosed in the ion air blower housing is a fan that is used to force air over the ionizing pins. The ionizing pins extend from the outer surface of the annular assembly ring with the ionizing pin tips positioned in an air guide proximate to the point of fastest airflow generated by the fan blades. This facilitates the stripping of ions from the ends of the ionizing pins by the propelled air. Additionally, the outwardly orientation of the ionizing pins naturally allows the ions to be directed outward towards the fastest airflow and allows for the increased miniaturization of an ion air blower using the emitter of the present invention.
摘要:
The present invention concerns an electrical power cord having an illuminated connector including a circuit to protect a power and/or ground continuity indicator incorporated into the connector. The connector is illuminated if it is connected to an active power source with or without a functioning ground conductor, depending upon the electrical configuration within the connector. The circuit is designed to shield the indicator during an excessive voltage test in accordance with the UL specification for power cords.

A method of preparing flour or splits of legume according to the invention comprises the steps of: i) providing legume; ii) allowing the legume to partially germinate; iii) optionally, terminating germination of the legume; iv) preparing the partially germinated legume for milling; v) optionally, milling the prepared legumes of step iv). Partial germination was found—besides increasing the content of nutrients and decreasing the content of antinutrients to enhance the physical quality of splits and to enhance the dehusking yield. Moreover, nutritionally more beneficial flour and splits can be provided.
摘要:
Data is transmitted between a first user and a second user via an information technology communications network, in a method comprising the steps of: generating a first hash value for a selected one of the data items; digitally signing and encrypting the first hash value with a secret identifier associated with the first user; transmitting to a second user the encrypted first hash value; receiving and storing the transmitted encrypted first hash value for audit purposes and generating a second hash value for the received encrypted first hash value; encrypting the second hash value with a private identifier associated with a second user and a public identifier associated with the first user; and returning the encrypted second hash value to the first user.
摘要:
An improved air ionizer apparatus includes an air inlet, a high voltage source, an electrode electrically connected to the high voltage source for generating ions and an air outlet. An air mover is provided for causing air to flow into the air ionizer through the air inlet and out of the air ionizer through the air outlet. A foraminous filter comprising an electrically conductive material is electrically coupled to at least one of a voltage source and ground. The filter is positioned over at least one of the air inlet, the air outlet and the electrode, such that air flowing into the air inlet, air flowing out of the air outlet or air flowing past the electrode flows through the filter. In a preferred embodiment, the filter comprises a metal grid or screen.
