Title: Virtual private network management system
Inventor: ANDERSSON LOA
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2000-06-02
Abstract: An apparatus and method of managing a virtual private network having a set of network devices maintains a network device memory set for storing a set of network device identifiers that identifies each of the set of network devices. More particularly, a request to join the virtual private network is received from a given network device having a given network device identifier that identifies the given network device. The set of network device identifiers then is retrieved from the network device memory set to identify all network devices in the set of network devices. A notify message then is forwarded to each of the set of network devices, and a join message is forwarded to the given network device. The notify message includes the given network device identifier, while the join message includes the set of network device identifiers. The given network device identifier then is stored in the network device memory set.

Title: Method for making a strong and soft nonwoven web
Inventor: BENSON DOUGLAS HERRIN
IPC: D04H1/74
Filed: 1998-01-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for making a strong and soft nonwoven web. A neckable nonwoven web is fed in a first direction. A tensioning force is applied to the neckable nonwoven web to neck the nonwoven web. Optionally, the necked nonwoven web may be subjected to mechanical stabilization after necking to provide a stabilized extensible necked nonwoven web. The nonwoven web is then subjected to incremental stretching in a direction perpendicular to the first direction to provide a strong and soft nonwoven web.

Title: Flexible method of user authentication for password based system
Inventor: HILLHOUSE ROBERT D
IPC: G06F12/14
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: A method of implementing password level security is disclosed. According to the method, a system automatically determines a plurality of available user information entry devices in communication with the workstation. The system then determines predetermined user authorisation methods each requiring data only from available user information entry devices. The user then selects one of the determined authorisation methods for use in user authorisation. Optionally, each authorisation method is associated with a security level relating to user access to resources. Once the authorisation method is selected, the user provides user authorisation information in accordance with a determined user authorisation method and registration proceeds. Once registration is complete, a password is passed from a password database to a password entry sub-system to provide access to that system.
Patent CA-2317827-A1 (CA)

IPC: A47J27/08
Filed: 2000-09-07
Abstract: A lid 10 for a pressure cooker has two radially slidable jaws 12 and 13 with upstanding lips 15 and 16, respectively. A locking plate 18 can slide transversely outwards from the position shown so that the lips ride along limbs of apertures 20 and are thereafter held, to prevent radial movement, by the plate 18. The plate 18 is held in its transverse outward position by a plunger (not shown) of a locking valve that is engaged in an aperture 23 in the plate 18. The plunger is released to fall from an uplifted locking position when pressure in the cooker falls below a predetermined level and to enable the plunger to become slidable along the aperture 23. This allows the plate to move and unlock the jaws 12 and 13 and so that the lid 10 can be removed.

Abstract: A golf practice and exercise device having a frame with a horizontally projecting arm spaced from a base or from the ground and from which is suspended by a cord an object that may take various forms, such as similar to a standard softball, a teardrop-shaped punching bag, a body punching bag, or any other suitable form. The object is positioned with a clubhead impact surface in position for striking by the clubhead of a golf club being swung by a golfer. The impact surface is sufficiently large that a golfer need not concentrate on striking a small target as is required when swinging at a golf ball. The mass of the object is sufficient to provide substantial resistance to the impact of a golf club to impose muscle strain on the golfer for muscle development, but is limited in mass to allow the head of the golf club to swing the object sufficiently for the golf clubhead to ultimately pass under the object and allow the golfer to complete the follow-through of the golf swing. In an alternate form, the object to be struck rests on the ground and is attached to a flexible cord which, in turn, is attached to a spike, secured in the ground. The cord and spike provide a limit to the distance the object will move so that the device can be used in a restricted space.
