Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method of managing a virtual local area network (VLAN) domain associated with a network is provided. In this embodiment, the method comprises: defining a VLAN domain comprising a list of a plurality of connectively coupled ports of the network associated with the VLAN domain; and assigning at least one VLAN associated with the plurality of connectively coupled ports. In another embodiment, a system for managing virtual local area networks (VLANs) in a network is provided. In this embodiment, the system comprises a network provisioning module for defining a VLAN domain comprising a list of a plurality of connectively coupled ports of the network associated with the VLAN domain and assigning at least one VLAN associated with the plurality of connectively coupled ports.

Abstract: An automatic banking machine operates responsive to data bearing records. The machine includes a card reader for reading user cards, and at least one of a note acceptor and a cash dispenser. The automated banking machine carries out financial transfers related to user accounts based on information read from cards. The automated banking machine provides a printed receipt for transactions conducted. The machine carries out transactions when operatively connected to a source of power and a transaction network. The machine also carries out functions to control the power status of devices in the machine.

Abstract: A ramp for vehicles and a method of using the ramp and the ramp has a plurality of ramp parts which can be progressively assembled to increase the height of the ramp.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus store and play licensed digital content in a plurality of files on a computer-readable medium. In addition, a plurality of dummy files are also stored on the computer-readable medium. The file names for the licensed digital content files and the dummy files are generated in a manner such that the licensed digital content files cannot be distinguished from the dummy files. The file names may comprise randomly generated characters, or sequential file names where the sequential file names are randomly assigned to the digital content files and the dummy files.

Abstract: A housing for a shaving razor with razor blade(s) immersed in oil or another liquid. The primary structure permits a minimal quantity of oil or other liquid to submerge the razor blade with the razor handle upright. It also may feature a catch extension on the back wall to aid oil drainage from the submersed end. The second structure is a frontally mounted lid with razor handle positioned for easy access. To secure the housing in the desired position, a “hook and loop” type attachment device can be provided to allow removal for cleaning. In another embodiment, an insert may be disposed within the housing, next to the back wall. The insert has a razor handle receiving portion and a razor blade catch extension. In another embodiment, the housing may be formed in a free-standing configuration so that it may be rested upon a countertop or table. This embodiment may be formed with a container holding portion having an oil container recess.

Abstract: An automated merchant banking apparatus (10) is operative to carry out banking transactions commonly required by merchants. The apparatus includes a user interface (18) which includes a plurality of input and output devices. The apparatus further includes a rolled coin dispenser (40) for dispensing various denominations of rolled coin. The rolled coin dispenser includes a coin roll presenter and retraction unit (42) which is operative to retract coin rolls which have been dispensed into holding areas (177) into a storage area (176) in the machine.

Abstract: A housing for a shaving razor with razor blade(s) immersed in oil or another liquid. The housing will be of two elements with no working parts. The primary structure permits a minimal quantity of oil or other liquid to submerge the razor blade element with razor handle upright. It will also feature a catch extension on the back wall to aid oil drainage from the submersed end. The second structure is a frontally mounted lid with razor handle positioned for easy access. The oil is a light viscosity plant derivative such as sunflower oil or peanut oil or other liquids which will not affect the shaving razor's parts or the containment cell and will contain a tocopherol vitamin A stabilizer along with a biocide. To secure the housing in the desired position, a "hook and loop" type attachment device, such as Velcro.TM., will be provided to allow removal for cleaning.
