Title: Method and apparatus for measuring acute stress
Inventor: SCHAIPER DANIEL RAYMOND
IPC: A61B5/026
Filed: 2003-04-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided to quantify psychological and physiological components to measure acute stress in humans, in which a stimulus can be applied to the test subject's environment during the test. T he method involves multiple stress/relaxation intervals while physiological measurements are taken and "measured," and involves questionnaires that are answered after each of the intervals to "measure" the test subject's psychological state. A computerized testing apparatus acquires the physiological measurements, and also is used by the test subject in answerin g the questionnaires. The "stimulus" can be a fragrance, flavor, product, or task, and a "blank stimulus" is normally used during one of the stress intervals.

Title: System and method for a routing device to securely share network data with a host utilizing a hardware firewall
Inventor: BARKER JR CHARLES
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2003-05-15
Abstract: A system and method for providing the ability to selectively share data in a network routing device with an associated host. The system and method employs a hardware firewall in the routing device which restricts the host such that it can only access areas in shared memory which contains data destined for the host. The routing device CPU notifies the host of pending data and the location of that data in the shared memory. The hardware firewall is also notified of the location in shared memory which the host may access. When the host attempts to read the data, the firewall ensures that only the stated memory area or areas are accessed by the host. Once the data has been read by the host, the firewall is notified to cancel the host's ability to access the shared memory until such time as a new packet destined for the host arrives in the routing device.
