Abstract: Aqueous silver-containing composition is designed for use as an antimicrobial agent on fibers and fabrics. This composition includes silver halide particles, gelatin, and an additive that includes an N-heterocyclic acid having a pKa of from about 4 to about 9. The additive improves the redispersibility and shelf-life of the composition.

Abstract: Disclosed are peer-to-peer computer program products, methods, and systems in which a remote peer on a peer-to-peer network is granted or denied access to a resource based on the credentials presented by the remote peer. In accordance with the disclosed subject matter, an access token that includes one or more security identification values which represent respectively one or more access rights in an access control system is generated. An execution thread that is associated with the access token thus generated attempts to access the resource on behalf of the remote peer. In some embodiments, the access control system includes a generic user account, and the access token that is generated for the remote peer includes the security identification value associated with the generic user account in the access control system.

Abstract: A system for authenticating computer users comprising, a single active directory disposed in a federated partner, a web server disposed in a DMZ associated with the intranet; and a client disposed in the federated partner coupled to the web server through an internet connection that is capable of signing on to the web server.

Abstract: An exemplary network gateway is capable of accepting a session-related message having a session identifier field; the network gateway is adapted to extract a host identifier from a value populating the session identifier field and to perform a routing operation for the session-related message using the host identifier. For an exemplary media implementation, processor-executable instructions direct a device to perform actions including: ascertaining a host identifier from a session identifier field of a session message; and routing the session message responsive to the ascertained host identifier. An exemplary apparatus includes: at least one processor; and one or more media including processor-executable instructions that are capable of being executed by the at least one processor to direct the apparatus to perform actions including: receiving a session message having a session identifier including a host identifier; and routing the session message responsive to the host identifier.

Abstract: A first exemplary media implementation includes processor-executable instructions that direct a device to perform actions including: creating a session identifier using a host identifier; and formulating a host session initiation message with the created session identifier. A first exemplary device implementation includes: at least one processor; and one or more media including processor-executable instructions that direct the device to perform actions including: formulating a host session message with a session identifier that is created responsive to a host identifier; and sending the formulated host session message that includes the session identifier from the device. A second exemplary media implementation includes a data structure that has a message including a session identifier field, at least part of the session identifier field including a host identifier.
