  • Patent number: 7770002
    Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for two-way authentication. In one example, a method prompts a user for an account number and a PIN. Upon authentication of the account number and the PIN, an e-mail having a link to a new session is sent to the user. If the account number and the PIN were authenticated, a custom background preselected by the user is presented in the new session and a password is requested. Use of the custom background preselected by the user may help the user authenticate the computer system to which he is attempting to gain entry. Upon authentication of the password, entry to a computer system is permitted. To provide optional, enhanced anti-phishing capability, if the account number and the PIN were not authenticated, the an indication may be made that the e-mail message is being sent.

  • Publication number: 20100135754
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the preferably automated supply of structural components to an assembly zone for producing a fuselage portion of an aircraft by multi-shell construction, comprising: a) at least one side shell support for introducing at least one side shell, b) at least two positioning towers for moving and aligning at least one side shell inside the device. The device according to the invention enables side shells to be quickly and precisely supplied to an assembly zone for production of an entire fuselage portion. It is possible to dispense completely with the hitherto required manual and therefore time-consuming “hovering” of side shells and other large structural components, such as upper shells, lower shells, floor frames and other technical equipment systems necessary for the production of a fuselage portion, this process being prone to problems and difficult to control.

  • Patent number: 7718012
    Abstract: A method of improving the effectiveness of semiconductor cleaning solvents is provided. Insoluble gas bubbles, typically air, hinder wet chemical cleaning methods. Preferred embodiments include purging a first, insoluble gas from the cleaning system and replacing it with a second, soluble gas. After replacing the first gas with the second gas, the wafer is rinsed in the cleaning solvent. Any gas bubbles trapped within narrow, recessed features during cleaning rapidly dissolve due to the second gas's solubility. Temperature adjustments during the process may further enhance cleaning.

  • Patent number: 7604297
    Abstract: An adjusting mechanism includes a first sub-assembly, a bolt disposed on the first sub-assembly and a second sub-assembly. The bolt is configured to receive a force in a radial direction relative to an axis of the bolt. The second sub-assembly is mounted so as to be rotatable relative to the first sub-assembly by means of the bolt. The rotatability of the second sub-assembly relative to the first sub-assembly is configured to be reduced by a positive connection created using plastic deformation between the bolt and at least one of the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly.

  • Publication number: 20090204254
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling removal of one or more receptacles from a receptacle tray are described herein, in which a removal indicator indicates which of the one or more receptacles to remove. Thereafter, the indicated one or more receptacles may be manually removed from the receptacle tray using a gripping mechanism. The receptacles are secured in the tray with two or more tangs protruding from a front face of the receptacle closest to a connector interface. The two or more tangs fit into respective mating units in the receptacle tray, and one or more protrusions toward the rear of the receptacle, with respect to the two or more tangs, mate with respective mating units in the receptacle tray.

  • Publication number: 20080315654
    Abstract: A vehicle seat (1) is provided with a seat part (2) and a backrest (3), which may be folded from a substantially upright position of use (G) by the action of a spring device (6) into a substantially horizontal loading position (L), a spring force (F1) oriented in the direction of the loading position or a correspondingly oriented torque (M1) being able to be generated when folding forward from the position of use into the loading position by means of the spring device until reaching an intermediate position (A). According to the invention it is provided that a spring force (F2) oriented counter to the direction of the loading position (L) or a corresponding torque (M2) may be generated by means of the spring device (6) when the intermediate position (A) has been passed.
