  • Patent number: 11599648
    Abstract: System and methods for synchronizing and encrypting profile information are provided. A method establishes a first browser instance on a first virtual machine being in communication with a first browser profile sync and encrypt agent. The method also establishes a second browser instance on a second virtual machine. The method may use the first browser profile sync and encrypt agent acting through a profile helper service to encrypt profile changes involving the first browser instance on an encrypted master profile and use the second browser profile sync and encrypt agent acting through the profile helper service to encrypt profile changes involving the second browser instance on the encrypted master profile. The method maintains a browser profile persistence for the first browser instance and for the second browser instance, using the encrypted master profile, on a single on-disk profile.

  • Patent number: 10587098
    Abstract: An electrical enclosure where all functional compartments are accessible only from a front and the enclosure has a width that is no greater than twenty-four inches. Plenum chambers provide an exit path from releasing gas pressure and particulate matter generated during an arc flash event within the enclosure and prevent the gases and particulate matter from entering the other compartments. A vacuum circuit breaker compartment may include insulator bushings and current transformers that are each individually removable from a front of the enclosure. A removably connected roof panel permits selective front accessibility to the bus bar compartment through the plenum chamber and a flap movably connected to the bus bar compartment. A wall of the cable connection compartment includes an opening and a portion of a wall of the voltage transformer compartment is removably connected to facilitate access to the cable connection compartment from a front of the enclosure.

  • Patent number: 6552670
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to convert geographic information to a binary representation, or bingeo. The geographic information can be converted to a bingeo for a selected reference or coordinate system, and with respect to a reference within the selected coordinate system. The coordinate system location to bingeo conversion can be hierarchical or iterative and can include segmenting the coordinate system or segments thereof. The iterative algorithm can include identifying a segment including the specified location, and segmenting the identified segment. During an iteration, segments can be assigned a binary code that can be incorporated into the bingeo. Successive segmentation iterations can be performed to provide increased precision. In one embodiment, a precision of 0.16 inches squared can be attained. Two bingeos can be compared, in the simplest form, using a bitwise logical XOR.

  • Patent number: 6523919
    Abstract: A filing cabinet has at least one drawer or file hangers associated with the drawer that can be selectively lifted from a first elevation to a second elevation when the drawer has been moved to an open position with respect to the frame of the filing cabinet. The filing cabinet includes the frame; drawers, including the drawer that can be lifted; and a drawer-opening assembly that movably connects the drawer to the frame. When the drawer is opened, it can be disengaged from the drawer-opening assembly and lifted to a position that is more accessible to users of the filing cabinet. The drawer can be lifted by force supplied by the user, by mechanical or electrical devices, or by a combination of the foregoing. Examples of the mechanical or electrical devices include pneumatic pistons, hydraulic pistons, spring-activated structures, and electric motors. The bottom drawer or a number of bottom drawers of the filing cabinet can experience the lifting motion.

  • Patent number: 6195660
    Abstract: A directory service has a number of databases and a processing system with a number of processors. A first processor receives requests and passes them to one of a number of other processors to access one of the databases. The service has a firewall and a monitor outside the firewall for randomly generating names to access the database. A configuration manager communicates with applications in the database and processors and with a directory to cause applications to reconfigure in response to certain events.
