Patent number: 11280093Abstract: In a general aspect, a mat is disclosed for forming a transition between two surfaces of different elevation. The mat includes a carpeted layer secured to a foam layer. The foam layer includes first, second, third and fourth sides that define a perimeter of the foam layer. The foam layer also includes first and second channels extending in-plane through the foam layer from the first side to the second side. The first and second channels are configured to allow the mat to fold around a first folding axis into a folded position. The foam layer additionally includes relief cuts extending in-plane through the foam layer from the third side to the fourth side. The relief cuts are configured to allow the mat to fold around a second folding axis into a rolled position. A fifth side of the foam layer is mated to the carpeted layer, and a sixth side of the foam layer defines an interior boundary of the mat when the mat is in the folded position.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: EZ Flex LLCInventors: Benjamin Hewitt Anderson, Cody Blake Anderson, Robert Wade Garrett

Patent number: 6918038Abstract: A system and method for generating and remotely installing a private secure and auditable network is provided. Node identification, link, and application information is input into a template. A generator generates components using the information in the template and the components are remotely installed using an installation server. The components include agent modules which are each installed at predetermined target site and establish communication with the installation server to facilitate the download of other components, including application software and configuration files. Each node can only be installed once and is specific to a predetermined target site. For each link, a unique pair of keys is generated in a form which is not human readable, each key corresponds to a different direction of communication over the link. Data transmitted between nodes is encrypted using public-private key pairs.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 1999Date of Patent: July 12, 2005Assignee: Angel Secure Networks, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Hewitt Smith, Fred Hewitt Smith
