  • Patent number: 6801948
    Abstract: A system communicates a packet through a streams-based network protocol stack to a network interface card that includes an interface attribute. A session filter module and a network filter module are in communication with the network protocol stack. A table of network attributes, associated with the session filter module and network filter module, is use to determine whether the network interface card can be accessed. A method comprises operating a software process that includes a network endpoint attribute, communicating packets through a network protocol stack to a network interface card, having an interface attribute, and comparing the network endpoint attribute with the interface attribute to determine whether the software process can access the network interface card.

  • Publication number: 20020178150
    Abstract: Displays of genetic and/or proteomic expression data can be visually correlated by a user analyzing such expression data. Generally, the user identifies expression data, such as a cluster, a gene, or a protein for example, using conventional user interface techniques. Once expression data are identified by the user, corresponding expression data is identified in other displays. Such corresponding expression data is determined by reference to expression metadata. For each of the other displays of expression data, the corresponding expression data of the other displays is determined according to the expression metadata of those other displays. Within each of those other displays, the corresponding expression data is highlighted within the display to identify the corresponding expression data to the user.

  • Publication number: 20020169560
    Abstract: Results of statistical clustering and/or correlation analysis of genetic or proteomic expression data such as microarrays, gene chips, or protein chips are used, e.g., as response variables, in further analysis of expression data. In particular, an array of expression data is clustered using a cluster tool to produce an array of expression clusters. Each of the expression clusters represents the same experiments represented by the original expression array. Accordingly, each cluster of the array is of the proper form to be used as a response variable of expression values. Using an expression cluster as a response variable for either supervising clustering or correlation analysis allows correlation between such an expression cluster and other expression data.

  • Publication number: 20020078383
    Abstract: Systems and methods for group-based network access control systems are provided. The group-based network access control system includes a software process operating on a computer. The software process is configured to communicate a packet through a group-based network protocol stack to a network interface card that includes an interface attribute. A table of network attributes, associated with a session filter module and a network filter module, compares the network endpoint attribute with the interface attribute in the table of network attributes to determine whether the software process can access the network interface card. Each network endpoint attribute comprises a primary group identifier and a supplemental group identifier list, and each interface attribute comprises a network group list. The method includes the steps of operating a software process that includes a network endpoint attribute.

  • Publication number: 20020029260
    Abstract: Tailored application or service may be delivered via a communication device to a number of subscribers in a manner that avoids having to store individual copies of a service profile on the device for each subscriber receiving the application or service. Specifically, a packet is received requesting delivery of the application or service from the subscriber at a communication device. In response, the communication device retrieves a subscriber context, which references policies that describe each of the applications and services available to the subscriber. The application or service requested by the packet is compared with the policies referenced by the subscriber context to identify any matching policies. Subsequently, the requested application or service is delivered to the subscriber via the communication device according to the matching policies as described by a service profile. This service profile is accessible for describing the application or service when requested by other subscribers.

  • Publication number: 20010023449
    Abstract: A system and method for a streams based network access control system. The steams-based network access control system includes a software process operating on a computer. The software process is configured to communicate a packet through a streams-based network protocol stack to a network interface card that includes an interface attribute. A session filter module and a network filter module are in communication with the network protocol stack. A table of network attributes, associated with the session filter module and network filter module, compares the network endpoint attribute with the interface attribute in the table of network attributes to determine whether the software process can access the network interface card. The method includes the steps of operating a software process that includes a network endpoint attribute. Next, packets are communicated through a network protocol stack to a network interface card, where the network interface card includes an interface attribute.

  • Patent number: 4694295
    Abstract: The driver, in trying to manage the directional control of his vehicle, is often seen rotating his head or torso beyond 90 degrees (past perpendicular) in an effort to gain intelligence about what competing vehicles are flanking his "blindsides." Such a competing vehicle may occupy that area in the "blindside" (left, right or both sides past perpendicular) not directly observable through the rear view mirror. The requirement to make an extraordinary inspection of the vehicle "blindside" is often exacerbated by the poor design utility of the vehicle itself. Those who are physically unable to check the "blindspot" (such as the elderly) knowingly risk collision. The instant invention is the first high-technology effort to address a solution to this problem. A sequentially operating dual sensor technology is used. The first sensor effort takes place as a photonic event.
