Abstract: A method and system for transmission of digital content via e-mail with point of use digital rights management is disclosed. The secured access rights to the digital content may be customized for individual recipients by the sender, and may evolve over time. The access rights are enforced according to a time-dependent scheme. A key server is used to arbitrate session keys for the encrypted content, eliminating the requirement to exchange public keys prior to transmission of the digital content. During the entire process of transmitting and receiving e-mail messages and documents, the exchange of cryptographic keys remains totally transparent to the users of the system. Additionally, electronic documents may be digitally signed with authentication of the signature.

Abstract: Systems and methods for allocating resources. The system includes a communications module, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores a data record and instructions that, when executed, configure the processor to obtain a data record and transmit an existing score indication corresponding to the data record for display at the client device; receive a first time parameter and an action indicator associated with a shared resource and, in response, determine a first provisional score corresponding to the data record based on the existing score indication, the action indicator, and the first time parameter to provide a first provisional score indication; transmit the first provisional score indication and a selectable option associated with the action indicator for display at the client device while the first provisional score indication is displayed; and in response to receiving a resource transfer instruction, allocate the shared resource associated with the action indicator.

Abstract: The mechanical oar system is a manually powered propulsion system for a vessel. The vessel is a personal watercraft. The mechanical oar system is configured for use with a person. The mechanical oar system is powered by the person. The mechanical oar system comprises a plurality of drive mechanisms and a vessel. The plurality of drive mechanisms are integrated into the vessel. Each of the plurality of drive mechanisms is manually powered. Each of the plurality of drive mechanisms comprises a mechanism that moves an oar structure (referred to in this disclosure as a blade). The oar structure propels the vessel in a desired direction. Each of the plurality of drive mechanisms is oriented relative to the vessel such that the direction of the propulsive forces can be adjusted by the person.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for using cache size estimations for guiding hot-tier insertion decisions. The method and apparatus include an adaptive management element that determines what accesses of a resource should be logged and the parameters for logging. The determinations are used to configure an adaptive logging element to log only accesses corresponding to the selected resource(s) and to log only those accesses that match the identified parameters. The adaptive management element operates in a feedback loop: first determining what will be logged and second implementing that determination by an adaptive logging element. Upon a triggering event, the process returns to the first determination based on any then current parameters. In some embodiments, the parameters include a size estimate to achieve a given target hit rate (target hit rate size estimate) that is used in generating a score or weighting to identify the highest/best scoring/weighted disk(s) for logging.

Abstract: A melt blowing die includes a stack of plates including corresponding melt blowing die tip, die body and air functionalities. One or more rows of polymer filament extrusion orifices extend through in a stack direction across multiple plates of a stack. A gas distribution system within the stack has gas outlets are positioned to provide distributed gas flow to contact and attenuate extruded polymer filaments. One of more polymer distribution channels extend longitudinally through multiple plates in the stack direction to supply polymer to each of the rows of extrusion orifices. A polymer distribution channel is open to receive polymer feed only at a longitudinal end. A melt blowing apparatus has a collection substrate movable in a machine direction that is transverse to a stack direction in a melt blowing die. A method for producing fiber-containing material includes melt blowing using a melt blowing die with a stack of plates.
