  • Publication number: 20070067959
    Abstract: An adjustable door stop system and method for a hinge mounted door having at least one hinge leaf connected to the door and at least one hinge leaf connected to the doorway. The door stop system includes a hinge pin having an axis about which the hinge leaves rotate. A first disk extends radially from one end of the hinge pin. A second disk has an opening to receive the hinge pin therethrough. A finger extends from the first disk substantially parallel to the axis of the hinge pin. A finger also extends from the second disk substantially parallel to the axis of the hinge pin. The first disk finger engages the hinge leaf connected to the doorway and the second disk finger engages the hinge leaf connected to the door to thereby stop movement of the door without contacting either the door or the doorway.

  • Publication number: 20050190769
    Abstract: A system and method that provides secure, remote access and/or control to remotely located software and/or hardware. A third party logs into a support server with a valid log in and password. The third party requests that the support server application program generate a key which the third party ultimately transmits to a customer or user. The customer enters the key into a software component operating on the customer's computer which initiates an encrypted connection to the support server. The third party then attaches to the customer session which initiates an encrypted connection to the customer or computer through the support server. The actions of the third party are logged or tracked by the support server for auditing purposes and possible review by the customer. Accordingly, the user or customer can control the connection on an outward basis, thereby not requiring a potentially dangerous security “opening” into the user's network.
