Abstract: A method to establish virtual security perimeters for classified electronic documents on a computer system. The security perimeters are based upon a full classification determination of all informational content of an electronic document file. The full classification determination is uniquely coded to identify a classification value, the classification regime used to classify the information as well as ownership of the electronic information of the electronic document, and is embedded in the electronic document. The classification determination code is matrixed with identification codes for elements of a file management system and used to control computer events initiated on a computer involving the electronic document. Computer events on computers are monitored for the coded full classification determination. The code scheme is also used to identify a breach of a security perimeter on a computer of an unauthorized classified electronic document and warning of the breach.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an improved method of enhancing nicotine concentrations in a gaseous carrier. The methods are adaptable to the delivery of nicotine for therapeutic effect in various diseases, in particular nicotine for tobacco product use cessation, substitution and/or harm reduction. The disclosure further relates various devices and device design principles for practicing these methods.

Abstract: A power-assist hand truck for assisting in the movement of objects. The powered hand truck includes two electric disc gearmotors, an overrunning clutch hub for each driven wheel, an e-stop switch, a speed control, a power source, a motor controller, and other necessary electronics, which can be integrated into an existing hand truck or platform cart or compose a new handtruck or platform cart. Power is provided by replaceable/rechargeable batteries. The batteries can be charged from a stationary power source or by a mobile power source such as that of a vehicle battery. In forward motion the speed control and motor controller provide variable power-assist levels, however, the overrunning clutch hubs allow the user to walk as quickly as desired. The e-stop switch engages and disengages the gearmotors from the power supply, thereby allowing the user to selectively switch between regenerative braking and low rolling resistance operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to devices and methods for delivering nicotine and/or other alkaloids from tobacco, other plants and other natural sources. More particularly, the invention relates to devices and methods for delivering an aerosol of nicotine to a user's lungs without combustion of the nicotine source materials.

Abstract: A software engine runs in a compatible mode with offthe-shelf word processors, e-mail programs and presentation development software and other document development software. The software engine is used for the security classification of sensitive or national security classified information in electronic and resultant hard copy document formats. The software engine ensures that the individual considers all informational portions of a document, that appropriate document marks are employed, that document marks in their electronic format are persistent and that all necessary information, such as classification guides, standards and security regulations, provided by the organization to classify information is at hand and immediately available. In addition to the document sensitivity or classification determination and marking support, the software engine tracks and controls documents and the electronic media storing documents.

Abstract: The invention is an a document classification and marking engine/method that functions in a real-time compatible mode with off-the-shelf word processors, e-mail programs and presentation or other document development software applications. The software engine is used for the security classification of sensitive or national security classified information in electronic format and is enhanced by methods and processes that ensure that the software classification engine considers all document informational elements regardless of attributes assigned to the text that may hide text from the user. The software engine provides a complete and reliable document classification determination interface method based on user selections and uniquely codes the full text classification determination in a persistent manner within the electronic shell of the document in real-time and dynamically displays the text based full classification determination in the banner of the host document development application.

Abstract: A process control system includes a network with sub-networks and one or more network servers coupled to these sub-networks via a router. Network users can access this network via network user terminals. The sub-networks include automation servers with peripheral devices coupled thereto. The automation servers control and configure the peripheral devices and can be accessed by local users using local user terminals. The network user terminals can query automation servers for data about the peripheral devices over the network. The automation devices can be selected and identified by data relating to their geographical location.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container comprising nicotine to be inhaled, which is able to retain and release nicotine, and which comprises a shaped mass of fibers and/or filaments. Further, the present invention relates to the use of said container in an inhaling device for obtaining a quick and/or complete reduction of the urge to smoke or use of tobacco and/or for providing a sense of smoking satisfaction without smoking and to the use of said container in smoking cessation therapy.

Abstract: An interface between a wireless node and a network node includes an encapsulator for temporarily converting data frames into Ethernet frames for the link between the two nodes and de-encapsulating the Ethernet frames before the data is processed at the network node.

Abstract: An automotive additive composition comprising an automotive additive ingredient and a matrix is described. The automotive additive ingredient may be a fuel additive ingredient such as a detergent. The matrix may comprise a gel composition, a solid water removal agent, or a combination comprising one or more of the foregoing matrices. The automotive additive composition may be in the form of a capsule, a gel capsule, or a tablet. Also disclosed is a method of delivering an additive ingredient to a functional fluid of a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A data processor and storage system which comprises a data processor, a cache memory and a main memory is arranged so that the addressing of the main memory produces a multiplicity of spaced aliases, the multiplicity being greater than the set-associativity of the cache memory. The cache memory may be a multiple way set associative cache memory with the system including a round robin allocator for controlling the storing of successive data items in the different ways of the set associative cache. The cache may also be a direct mapped cache having single way set-associativity so that the round robin allocator is not required. The system may also include a direct memory access (DMA) device for copying data items into the memory. The memory may be a buffer memory which is divided into a plurality of packet buffers.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the concentration of a constituent in a fluid by directing a beam of light into the fluid and sensing the intensity of components of the light emerging from the fluid at various wavelengths. The light emerging from the fluid can be light that has been attenuated by absorption or induced by fluorescent radiation. The effect of scattering on the light is minimized by normalizing the component intensities, which are then applied to an algorithm incorporating weighting factors that weighs the influence that the intensity at each wavelength has on the determination of the concentration of the constituent for which the algorithm was developed. The algorithm is developed by a regression analysis based upon a plurality of known mixtures containing various concentrations of the constituent of interest.
