Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant à un client de réaliser une expérience de laboratoire à distance au moyen d'un ordinateur à distance connecté à un ordinateur central via un réseau informatique. Cette expérience est stimulée par un ensemble de variables d'entrés et produit un ensemble de variables de sortie dépendantes. Ce procédé consiste en ce que un instructeur met au point l'expérience dans un emplacement central, détermine ensuite les tolérances admises pour chaque variable d'entrée de l'expérience, puis délimite la plage des tolérances admises. L'instructeur introduit dans l'ordinateur central un programme pour exécuter l'expérience, y compris l'ensemble de variables d'entrée, et la plage de tolérances admises de chaque variable d'entrée. Le client accède à distance à l'expérience au moyen de l'ordinateur à distance. L'instructeur permet au client de mener l'expérience et restreint simultanément son champ d'action à la plage de tolérances admises.

Title: Adjustable cable lock
Inventor: ZAPUSHEK JOHN B
IPC: E05B67/00
Filed: 2001-08-24
Abstract: A lock construction for securing a movable object to a fixed object. The lock construction comprises a housing (4) having an interior cavity (18) and an elongated member (5) having a first portion (6) secured within the housing and a second portion (7) slidably received within the housing. The elongated member (5) is slidable within the passageway to a locked position, securing the movable object to the fixed object and to an unlocked position, releasing the movable object from the fixed object. First (24) and second (38) members are slidably disposed in the housing (4) and are movable to engage the cable (5) in the locked position. A rotatable locking mechanism (12, 47) is disposed within said housing (4) and is engageable with the first member (24) to permit slidable movement of the first member (24) and hereby allow slidable movement of the elongated member (5) to different locked positions. The rotatable locking mechanism (12, 48) is also engageable with the second member (38) to permit slidable movement of the second member (38) and thereby prevent movement of said elongated member (5) in the locked position.

Patent CA-2424144-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DECHOVICH ZAK
IPC: G06F12/14

Abstract: Malicious software attacks (such as for example stealing data, changing data or destroying data) on personal computers and/or servers and/or other computerized gadgets (especially through the Internet) are becoming more and more common and more and more dangerous, causing damages of tens of billions of dollars each year. The state-of the-art solutions are inherently limited because they solve only a limited number of problems on the surface, instead of going deeply into the roots of the problem. The most common solutions are Anti-viruses and firewalls. Anti-viruses are limited because they can only detect known viruses or worms that have already been identified (usually after they have already attacked many computers). Network firewalls are typically based on packet filtering, which is limited in principle, since the rules of which packets to accept or not may contain for example subjective decisions based on trusting certain sites or certain applications. However, once security is breached for any reason, for example due to an error or intended deception, a hostile application may take over the computer or server or the entire network and create unlimited damages (directly or by opening the door to additional malicious applications). They are also not effective against security holes for example in browsers or e-mail programs or in the operating system itself. According to an article in ZDnet from Jan 24, 2001, security holes in critical applications are discovered so often that just keeping up with all the patches is impractical. Also, without proper generic protection for example against Trojan horses, which can identify any malicious program without prior knowledge about it, even VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) and other form of data encryption, including digital signatures; are not really safe because the info can be stolen before or below the encryption. Even personal firewalls are typically limited, because once a program is allowed to access the Internet, there are no other limitations for example on what files it may access and send or what it might do. The present invention creates a general generic comprehensive solution by going deeply into the roots of the problem. One of the biggest absurdities of the state-of the-art situation is that by default programs are allowed to do whatever they like to other programs or to their data files or to critical files of the operating system, which is as absurd as letting a guest in a hotel bother any other guests as he pleases, steal their property or copy it or destroy it, destroy their rooms, etc., or for example have free access to the hotel's safe or electronic switchboard or phone or elevator control room. The present concept is based on automatic segregation between programs: It is like limiting each guest by default to his room and limiting by default his access to the Hotel's strategic resources, so that only by explicit permission each guest can get additional privileges.

Abstract: Vertical and/or lateral acceleration sensors are mounted in or on the engines or pylons of an aircraft to measure the vibrations induced by the operating dynamics of the engines. The sensors provide measured vibration signals to a controller that generates control signals in response to and dependent on the measured vibration signals. The control signals are provided to the aileron actuators, so as to actuate the ailerons appropriately to counteract and thereby reduce the engine-induced vibrations.      Thus, the engine-induced vibrations acting on the fuselage are diminished and the passenger flight comfort is significantly improved.
