  • Publication number: 20170096836
    Abstract: A fence support may include a first plate having a first surface and a second surface. The first and second surfaces may extend from a first end of the support toward a second end of the support. The fence support may include a second plate coupled to the first surface of the first plate. The second plate may be smaller than the first plate and offset from edges of the first plate. The fence support also may include a first peg and a second peg each extending normal from one of the first and second plates.

  • Patent number: 9183318
    Abstract: Interaction is provided between a first content set and a second content set, both of which are loaded into a data structure. When an event associated with loading of the second content set is detected, the second content set is parsed to identify at least one sub-set of the second content set. The identified sub-set is checked against a first data set associated with the first content set to determine whether the identified sub-set matches the first data set. If a match is found, an action associated with the least one identified sub-set is executed and the data structure is modified.

  • Publication number: 20070256123
    Abstract: A system for detecting and preventing replay attacks includes a plurality of interconnected authentication servers, and one or more tokens for generating a one-time passcode and providing the one-time passcode to one of the authentication servers for authentication. The system includes an adjudicator function associated with each authentication server. The adjudicator evaluates a high water mark value associated with a token seeking authentication, allows authentication to proceed for the token if the high water mark evaluation indicates that the one-time passcode was not used in a previous authentication, and prevents authentication if the high water mark evaluation indicates that the one-time passcode was used in a previous authentication. The token is associated with a home authentication server that maintains a current high water mark of the token. The home authentication server validates the current high water mark on behalf of the adjudicator function evaluating the token for authentication.

  • Patent number: 5798524
    Abstract: An energy filtering system of an EFTEM is automatically adjusted using a computer. The computer inserts an energy-selecting slit into the beam path and begins monitoring the position of the electron beam through a combination of the current sensors integral to the slit and the readout of an electron camera. The beam is centered within the slit by adjusting an energy dispersing element while monitoring beam sensors. After initial alignment, the slit is retracted and a reference aperture is inserted at the entrance to the energy filter. The electron camera captures an image of the reference aperture and the computer analyzes the deviations of the aperture image from its known physical dimensions in order to evaluate the electron optical distortions and aberrations of the filter. The computer uses the determined optical parameters to adjust the distortion and aberration correcting optical elements of the filter, whose effects are known due to previous calibration.
