Title: A method and apparatus for managing a firewall
Inventor: WOOL AVISHAI
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2000-01-18
Granted: 2005-10-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for managing a firewall. The disclosed firewall manager facilitates the generation of a security policy for a particular network environment, and automatically generates the firewall-specific configuration files from the security policy simultaneously for multiple gateways. The security policy is separated from the vendor-specific rule syntax and semantics and from the actual network topology. Thus, the security administrator can focus on designing an appropriate policy without worrying about firewall rule complexity, rule ordering, and other low-level configuration issues. In addition, the administrator can maintain a consistent policy in the presence of intranet topology changes. The disclosed firewall manager utilizes a model definition language (MDL) and an associated parser to produce an entity relationship model. A model compiler translates the entity- relationship model into the appropriate firewall configuration files. The entity-relationship model provides a framework for representing both the firewall-independent security policy, and the network topology. The security policy is expressed in terms of "roles," which are used to define network capabilities of sending and receiving services. A role may be assumed by different hosts or host-groups in the network. A visualization and debugging tool is provided to transform the firewall-specific configuration files into a graphical representation of the current policy on the actual topology, allowing the viability of a chosen policy to be evaluated. A role-group may be closed to prevent the inheritance of roles.

Patent CA-2312101-C (CA)
Inventor: GIGUERE SYLVAIN R
IPC: G01N17/00
Filed: 2000-06-22
Granted: 2004-01-06
Abstract: A method for the detection and the characterization of corrosion in multi-layer metallic structures using a pulsed eddy current technique. For this technique, a coil (or coils) is used both as field source (driven by a square wave voltage-controlled excitation), and/or as field sensor (measuring a transient response). The field sensor allows the capture of information about the condition of the area of the structure under inspection. The ability of this technique to detect corrosion hinges on the use of a transient response feature (i.e., Lift-off Point of Intersection) to infer the presence of material loss. With the help of a calibration standard, the Lift-off Point of Intersection provides the ability to quantify material loss in multi-layered structures. The results obtained with this method are independent of lift-off variations inherent to field inspections (i.e., changes in distance between the transducer and test object).

Abstract: Formed constituents in an aqueous based fluid biologic material sample are separated from the aqueous constituent of the sample, and are concentrated in an examining instrument's focal plane where they can be examined under magnification. Examples of fluids that can be analyzed in this fashion include urine;  cerebrospinal fluid; pleural fluid; ascites; fluids aspirated from cysts such as thyroid and breast cysts; cytologic specimens which have been placed in an aqueous fluid; platelet-rich plasma; and the like. The sample is placed in a chamber having a layer of a hydrophilic hydrogel covering a surface of the chamber. An opposite surface of the chamber is transparent, and may be formed by a microscope slide cover slip, or the like. The volume of hydrogel in the chamber is sufficient so that, when the hydrogel absorbs essentially all of the aqueous fraction of the sample, the hydrogel will expand and fill the chamber. The capture surface of the expanded hydrogel is preferably planar, and any formed constituents in the sample will be captured on the capture surface of the hydrogel layer, and will not be absorbed into the hydrogel.  Formed constituents, such as: cells; bacteria; crystals; protozoa; ova; parasites;  and the like, can be differentially highlighted by use of labeled antibodies, selective stains, or the like, so as to enable optical examination and differentiation of various formed constituents which may be in the sample. Formed constituents may be harvested from the capture surface of the expanded hydrogel layer for more detailed examination and analysis. The capture surface of the hydrogel may be provided with a plurality of beads for use in locating the capture surface with an optical scanning instrument, and for re-establishing previously scanned fields of view.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for end-to-end joining of paper roll cores into a continuous core master. The primary goal of the invention is to produce usable cores from those returned for recycling after use. In the method, the ends of core sections are reworked into complementary shapes required for a mating joint, glue is applied to the complementary mating surfaces of the joint and the core section ends pushed in the axial direction abutting each other and the glue is set. According to the invention, the cross section of the cores is trued circular at least over the area of the joined core sections by applying a radially expansive trueing force on the joint.  The radial trueing force is also advantageously employed for braking the axial travel of the core sections during the joining operation. The invention also concerns an apparatus suited for implementing the method.

Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: A head assembly for a guardrail extruder terminal device. A head assembly is described that is lighter and more effective than prior art head assemblies.  The head assembly provides a throat that receives a corrugated guardrail. The rail is flattened by a narrowing of the throat or through combined action of the throat and a curved deflector plate. A curved plate contacts the flattened rail and extrudes it away from the head assembly. The throat is constructed from a pair of side members. The first side member is an elongated plate while the second side member is a short plate. The impact plate of the head assembly is vertically elongated and presents upper and lower overhangs that assist with vehicle engagement. In addition, the impact plate is provided with flanges on either side to help stiffen the plate. The head is also asymmetrical and streamlined. When the impact head is mounted on a rail member, the central point of impact is off-center with respect to the axis of the head.
