Abstract: A two-level authentication system is described supporting two-factor authentication that offers efficient protection for secure on-line Web applications. It includes a global unique identity (UID) provided either by an institute-issued trusted device, or based on client computing platform hardware attributes, and generated using institution authorized private software, institution-authorized authentication proxy software, and an institution-generated credential code which is pre-stored in the token and only accessible by the institute-authorized authentication proxy software.  The institution-authorized authentication proxy software uses the user's PIN  and the trusted device's HID as input and verifies the user and device identities through institution-generated credential code which was pre-stored in the trusted device. Authentication is performed in two levels: the first authenticates the user and the trusted device locally; and the second authenticates the user remotely at the institution-owned authentication server. Various embodiments add extra levels of security, including one-time-password management and message integrity checking.

IPC: E21B44/04
Filed: 2009-04-03
Abstract: The permeability of the cement annulus surrounding a casing is measured by locating a tool inside the casing, placing a probe of the tool in contact with the cement annulus, measuring the change of pressure in the probe over time, where the change in pressure over time is a function of among other things, the initial probe pressure, the formation pressure, and the permeability, and using the measured change over time to determine an estimated permeability. The estimated permeability is useful in determining whether carbon dioxide can be effectively sequestered in the formation below or at the depth of measurement without significant leakage through the cement annulus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for inhibiting myostatin, a regulator of muscle mass, for muscle enhancement (including inducing hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia) as well as improving muscle function (including decreasing atrophy and/or increasing endurance, force and/or strength). The methods involve delivering genes to cells using gene delivery in order to inhibit myostatin. Examples of genes to be delivered are genes encoding' proteins such as Follistatin, Follistatin- related gene-1 (FLRG-I), growth differentiation factor associated protein- 1(GASP-I) and myostatin precursor propeptide. The genes are delivered using a recombinant Adeno-associated virus (rAAV) lacking rep and cap DNA capable of infecting the cells. Following introduction, the genes are expressed in the cell body of the infected cell and the encoded proteins are secreted systemically. In other methods-of the invention expression of proteins such as activin lib and myostatin is inhibited by oligonucleotide techniques to effect muscle enhancement. All the methods have applications in the treatment of musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative disorders among others, as well as enhancing muscle in livestock.

An indexing mechanism (165) is coupled between the housing and the valve piston to guide the valve piston between the first and second positions. In some embodiments, the indexing mechanism includes a rotatable component (175).
