Abstract: Method of identifying a protocol at the origin of a data flow. The method of identifying a protocol giving rise to a packet flow comprises the following steps: —a capture of the flow of the protocol to be identified, —statistical classification of the flow, comprising an extraction of the classification parameters and a comparison of the classification parameters with statistical models constructed during a learning phase. The statistical classification comprises: —a first phase of global statistical classification; and —a step of synthesis of the results of the first and second classification phases so as to identify the protocol giving rise to the flow.

Abstract: A method for generating cryptographic half-keys makes it possible to generate n pairs (Ki1, Ki2), 1?i?n, of cryptographic half-keys, each of said pairs making it possible to reconstruct an access key KPL specific to a secure apparatus, said method comprising at least the following steps: generating and storing, with the help of a management center distinct from said apparatus, a first series of n half-keys Ki1 on a recording medium; supplying the apparatus with said recording medium so as to generate, with the help of said local key KPL and of the n half-keys Ki1 stored on said medium, a second series of n half-keys Ki2 making it possible to form said n pairs (Ki1, Ki2). The method applies notably to the creation of several keys for access to a secure apparatus.

Abstract: An elastomeric composite web (20) includes an elastomeric-substrate (22), and an operative layer of an elastomeric polypropylene-based adhesive material (24) or other surface modifying agent which is adhered or otherwise applied directly to at least one major, facing-side (26) of the elastomeric-substrate (22). In particular aspects, the layer of the surface modifying agent (24) has been provided separate from the elastomeric-substrate (22), and the layer of surface modifying agent (24) has been applied directly to the elastomeric-substrate (22) while the elastomeric-substrate has been operatively configured in a substantially unstretched condition. In other aspects, the elastomeric-substrate (22) can have a distinctively high basis weight, and the layer of surface modifying agent (24) can be applied directly to the elastomeric-substrate (22) prior to attaching the elastomeric-substrate to any separately provided, substantially non-elastomeric, supplemental-substrate.

Abstract: A garment having a pair of front fasteners angled outwardly from the waist so the waist length is shorter than the hip length. In operation as a diaper, the garment may include a pair of similarly angled rear fasteners. In operation as a pant, the garment does include a pair of similarly angled fasteners. The angle at which to place the fasteners may be dependent on the crotch width of the garment.

Abstract: A method for producing a machine direction and cross-machine direction elastic laminate includes the steps of providing a one direction elastic laminate material including at least one elastic layer and one facing layer and having a single direction of elasticity and coursing the one direction elastic laminate material through at least one stretching apparatus, such that the stretching apparatus stretches the laminate material in a direction perpendicular to the single direction of elasticity of the elastic laminate material, thereby producing a material that extends in a direction perpendicular to the direction of elasticity and also extends the elastic performance of the laminate in the single direction of elasticity.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a disposable undergarment includes moving a web of body panel material in a longitudinal machine direction, cutting the web of body panel material along the longitudinal machine direction and thereby forming a rear body panel web and a front body panel web, each having a respective inner edge including peaks and valleys. Each of the front and rear body panel webs has a minimum rise forming at least in part leg opening portions of the front and rear body panel webs. The method further includes separating the front and rear body panel webs in a lateral cross direction, and bridging the gap between the crotch portions of the front and rear body panel webs with a crotch member, but with the crotch member not covering the valleys defining the minimum rises of each of the front and rear body panel webs. A disposable undergarment is also provided.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a lubricated reinforced fibrous web having a plurality of fibers. A lubricant layer is cross-linked on the fibers to coat the fibers and to form a point-bearing surface on the fibrous web. The cross-linked lubricant layer imparts extensibility and elasticity to the fibrous web for use in a comfort-coated personal care article.
