Title: System and method for in- and out-of-band multi-factor server-to-user authentication
Inventor: MIZRAH LEN L
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 2011-02-09
Abstract: A method to authenticate a server to a client is provided, including in-band and out-of-band techniques. At least a first shared secret identifies a server path, including a plurality of pre-defined locations on a frame of reference (e.g. a grid). An authentication session is initiated upon receiving a client identifier at the server-side resources. A current session instance of the grid is presented to the client, populated with characters. The process includes sharing between the client and the server a challenge identifying a random subset of the plurality of predefined locations in the server path, and a response including characters that match the characters in the locations on the server path identified by the challenge. As a result, client is capable of verifying that the server has access to the first shared secret. Then a protocol is executed to authenticate the client to the server.

Abstract: An onboard lift for lifting a boat such as a pontoon boat includes legs that have one end pivotally attached to a bottom substantially horizontal surface of a boat deck. The legs are typically continuous substantially imperforate tubes throughout essentially the entire length. The lower ends of the legs carry support feet or pads. One end of an actuator attaches to an outer side of one of the tubular legs and another end of the actuator is attached to a bottom substantially horizontal bottom surface of the boat deck. The actuators are manipulated to pivot each of the legs between a retracted or stowed position where the legs are substantially parallel to the bottom substantially horizontal surface of the boat deck and a working or lifting position where a pad or foot engages the bottom of the body of water and as the legs are further pivoted downwardly, the boat is lifted upward and out of the water.

Title: Air proportioning system for secondary air in coke ovens depending on the vault vs. sole temperature ratio
Inventor: KIM RONALD
IPC: C10B15/02
Filed: 2009-08-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for proportioning of secondary combustion air into the secondary air soles of coke oven chamber ovens, said device being formed by a slide gate or a parallelepiped device or by plates moved by means of a thrust bar, said thrust bar being moved longitudinally in parallel to the coke oven chamber wall so that the plates move away from the secondary air apertures and open or close these. The thrust bar is moved by means of a positioning motor, with the power transmission being effected hydraulically or pneumatically. Via suitable measuring parameters, it is thus possible to optimize secondary heating so that heating is provided evenly from all sides, thus achieving an improvement in coke quality.

Abstract: An apparatus for modifying a keratinous surface that has a rotatable applicator that is in fluid communication with a first modification composition. The apparatus also has a sensor and a CPU. The sensor is positioned forward of the applicator head such that as the head rolls across the keratinous surface the sensor reads the portion of the keratinous surface in front of the rolling head.  The sensor readings are transmitted to the CPU, the CPU  analyzes the sensor readings of the keratinous surface, and the CPU sends a signal to the applicator head to treat or not to treat the analyzed surface. When the CPU sends a signal to the applicator to treat the surface, a small portion of the first modification composition is applied to the head such that when the head rolls over the keratinous surface the first modification composition contacts the area of the keratinous surface that needs treatment.

Title: Method and system for adjusting the flow rate of charge material in a charging process of a shaft furnace
Inventor: TOCKERT PAUL
IPC: C21B7/24
Filed: 2010-02-11
Abstract: In a charging process of a shaft furnace, in particular of a blast furnace, batches of charge material are typically dis-charged in cyclical sequence into the furnace from a top hopper using a flow control valve. A method and system is proposed for adjusting the flow rate of charge material in such a process. Pre-determined valve characteristics for certain types of material are provided, each indicating the relation between flow rate and valve setting for one type of material. According to the invention, a specific valve characteristic is stored for each batch of charge material, each specific valve characteristic being bijectively associ-ated to one batch and indicating the relation between flow rate and valve setting of the flow control valve specifically for the associated batch. In relation to discharging a given batch of the sequence the invention proposes: using the stored specific valve char-acteristic associated to the given batch for determining a requested valve setting corresponding to a flow rate setpoint and using the requested valve setting to operate the flow control valve; determining an actual average flow rate for the discharge of the given batch; correcting the stored specific valve characteristic associated to the given batch in case of a stipulated deviation between the flow rate setpoint and the actual average flow rate.
