  • System for providing firewall capabilities to a communication device
    Patent number: 7624434
    Abstract: A system for providing security in a computing network. The system has a server for distributing policies to be implemented by firewall devices in the network. The firewall devices provide hardware implemented firewalls to communication devices making network connections. The system has logic to allow a connection to be made to the network via a communication device at a node provided the firewall device is at that node. Therefore, the firewall device must be in the system for a connection to be established via the communication device. Additionally, the system is configured to cause data transferred by the communication device to be processed by the firewall.

  • Disk drive constructed to isolate motor vibration
    Patent number: 5365388
    Abstract: A disk drive has a stator positioner disposed on a shoulder of a drive shaft housing which is part of the spicule. The positioner secures the stator against movement and references the motor to the spicule which engages and guides the cartridge. An open-celled urethane gasket between the printed circuit board and the stator absorbs vibrational forces.
