Abstract: Loose polymer material undergoing a mechanical, thermal or electromagnetic stress is treated either with oxidizing agent with Redox potential not less than1.5V or subjected to corona, ultra-violet or plasma treatment which only treats surface and avoids complete oxidation of polymer. In the case of polymer with a rubber elastic behavior treatment is only with an oxidizing agent, e.g. permanganate acid, hydrogen peroxide, silver salts, peroxidic sulfuric acid, fluorine or atomic oxygen. An independent claim is made for a loose material, powder or particulate system obtained from the claimed process.

Abstract: The present invention is a network switch that maintains a relatively lightly loaded state, and at the same time protects the network servers from DOS and DDOS attacks. The switch maintains a very large table of IP addresses where it stores information such as the number of incompleted and completed connections from each address. Using this information, the switch classifies each address into a threat level: unknown, trusted, suspicious, and malicious. Each threat level is treated differently allowing the switch to provide efficient access to the server while maintaining security. Connection to the server is denied to clients classified as malicious while trusted clients are passed through to the server. Suspicious connections are proxied while unknown connection treatment may be set by the user.
