Patent CA-2788955-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMOKOWSKI JOHN THADDEUS
IPC: A63H18/00
Filed: 2012-09-07
Abstract: The present invention is directed toward an interactive playset and one or more accessories.  The playset includes a slide/ramp including an entrance area at the top of the slide and an exit area at the bottom of the slide. The playset further includes a dynamic transfer system that transfers the accessory from the slide exit back to the slide entrance. The dynamic transfer system includes a plurality of stepped platforms, each platform having a piston that is selectively engaged to drive the accessory from a lower platform to an upper platform. In operation, the accessory begins at the top of the slide. The accessory travels down to slide until it reaches the exit area define by a first the lowermost platform of the transfer system.  Beginning at the lowermost platform the accessory is successively propelled from platform to platform until it again reaches the slide entrance area. The process continues, with the accessory traveling down the slide and being transferred back up to the slide entrance by the dynamic transfer system.

In other aspects, the systems and methods may enable fast and convenient assignment of semantic meaning to user-interface elements to enable actionable usage reporting, among other things. In further aspects, the systems and methods may allow convenient definition of a sequence of user-interface actions as a workflow, which may be analyzed in a variety of manners including, for example, monitoring and analyzing for user utilization and compliance. In other aspects, the systems and methods may be utilized where the target application restricts external access to user-interface object models.

Inventor: FRANK UWE
IPC: F16B19/08
Filed: 2011-08-23
Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening element, which can be designed as a blind rivet or screw, and which can be driven into an unpunched workpiece. In the front region intended to be driven into the workpiece, said element contains a punching section (9) which has a cylindrical design and comprises a front end face (5) that runs obliquely to the longitudinal axis. The diameter of the punching section (9) can be smaller than the body of the fastening element, or the diameters can be the same. The intersection of the end face (5) with the outer face of the punching section forms a circumferential edge. Because of the oblique course of the end face, said circumferential edge is arranged such that the circumferential edge strikes the metal first at a front area when the fastening element is driven in. At said front area, the circumferential edge is designed as a cutting edge running in the circumferential direction. Upon impinging on the workpiece, said edge first generates a cut, which thereafter is increased in both circumferential directions.

Title: Network stimulation engine
Inventor: HUGHES CHAD O
IPC: H04L12/22
Filed: 2011-12-15
Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are disclosed for simulating a large, realistic computer network. Virtual actors statistically emulate the behaviors of humans using networked devices or responses and automatic functions of networked equipment, and their stochastic actions are queued in buffer pools by a behavioral engine. An abstract machine engine creates the minimal interfaces needed for each actor, and the interfaces then communicate persistently over a network with each other and real and virtual network resources to form realistic network traffic. The network can respond to outside stimuli, such as a network mapping application, by responding with false views of the network in order to spoof hackers, and the actors can respond by altering a software defined network upon which they operate.
