Abstract: Disclosed are metal cleaning formulations and methods of use. A formulation of the present teachings comprises one or more furoate esters such as ethyl 5-methyl-2-furoate and methyl 5-methyl-2-furoate. The formulations further comprise a base oil, which can be, for example, a naphthenic oil, a synthetic oil or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, a formulation can further comprise a metal protection additive and a lubrication additive. A variety of base oils, metal protection additives, and lubrication additives are suitable for use in the present teachings. Formulations of the present teachings are especially useful for the cleaning of metal products such as firearms. The cleaning power of a formulation of the instant teachings can exceed that required for US Military Specifications.

Abstract: Disclosed are corrosion-inhibiting lubricant compositions and methods of making and using the compositions. The lubricant compositions contain petroleum based components, corrosion-inhibiting additives and a cationic surfactant. In some embodiments, the lubricant compositions also contain nano diamonds. Under standard salt fog tests, compositions exhibited 120 or 168 hours to failure, or 0-20% rust at 192 hours. Under standard wear preventative characteristics tests, compositions exhibited as low as 0.55 mm wear. Also disclosed are a device and method for aerosol delivery of a corrosion-inhibiting lubricant.

Abstract: An internet activity analyzer includes a network interface controller, a packet capturing module, a packet analysis module, and a data management module. The network interface controller is connected to a transmission medium for a network segment and is arranged to receive the stream of data packets passing along the medium. The packet stream is filtered to remove undesired packet data and is stored in a raw packet data buffer. The packet data is decoded at the internet protocol layer to provide information such as timing and sequencing data regarding the exchange of packets between nodes and the packet data for exchanges between multiple nodes may be recompiled into concatenated raw transaction data which may be coherently stored in a raw transaction data buffer. An application level protocol translator translates the raw transaction data and stores the data in a translated transaction data buffer.
