Patent GB-2415495-A (GB)
Title: Candle snuffers
Inventor: YATES MARC SILVANUS DOREY
IPC: F23Q25/00
Filed: 2004-06-24
Abstract: Tongs arms 10 are urged together against a resilient bias to bring halves 2 of a chamber firmly together. The substantially closed and relatively small chamber quickly starves a burning wick 17 of oxygen, which causes its flame to be extinguished without residual smoke. The tongs are then drawn upwardly with the two chamber halves 2 still firmly urged together, such that opposing edges of a gap in the base of the closed chamber are drawn over the wick 17. The wick 17 itself passes through the gap, but any deposits 18 on the wick 17 are too small to pass through the gap. Thus, the opposing edges of the chamber halves 2 gently rub any carbon or other deposits 18 off the wick 17 to effect a cleaning or trimming action on the wick 17. Deposits 18 that are trimmed from the wick 17 in this way are retained inside the chamber and do not drop into the molten wax 16.

Title: Computer network security system utilizing dynamic mobile sensor agents
Inventor: OTT ALLEN EUGENE
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2003-09-03
Abstract: A computer network security system utilizes mobile sensor agents that detect host-level activities and report event occurrences to a security server connected to the protected network. The security server processes the event data, assesses the current situation/risk status of the network, and manages the distribution of mobile sensor agents in the network in response to the current status of the network. The security server employs intelligent data fusion techniques to obtain contextually relevant situation/risk data based upon the relatively abstract host-level activity data. The security server can deploy additional mobile sensor agents to monitor for specific events, withdraw active mobile sensor agents installed on client computers, move mobile sensor agents within the protected network, and perform other managerial and regulatory actions that govern the mobile sensor agents.
