Abstract: Quantum dot devices with three of more accumulation gates provided over a single row of a quantum dot formation region are disclosed. Each accumulation gate is electrically coupled to a respective doped region. In this manner, multiple single electron transistors (SETs) are provided along the row. Side and/or center screening gates may be used to apply microwave pulses for qubit control and to control electrostatics so that source and drain regions of the multiple SETs with quantum dots formed along the single row of a quantum dot formation region are sufficiently isolated from one another. Such quantum dot devices provide strong spatial localization of the quantum dots, good control over quantum dot interactions and manipulation, good scalability in the number of quantum dots included in the device, and/or design flexibility in making electrical connections to the quantum dot devices to integrate the quantum dot devices in larger computing devices.

Abstract: A system and method for transferring files from a source file server in one network domain to a destination file server in a second separate network domain. A first hardware server computer monitors the source file server for the presence of a new manifest file, downloads the new manifest file, downloads each file identified in the new manifest file; and forwards each downloaded file on an output coupled to an input of a one-way link. The one-way link transfers files only from the input to an output thereof and prevents any signal from passing from the output to the input. A second hardware server is connected to the output of the one-way link and receives each file output from the one-way link and forwards each received file to a file location on the destination file server corresponding to an original file location of that file on the source file server.

Abstract: A system for monitoring the status of one or more networks and/or of devices coupled to each of the one or more networks. Status monitoring applications are associated with the networks and/or devices. The status monitoring applications output a respective status log file containing information about the system status of the associated network or device. In one embodiment, the system status is derived from the Windows Event Log. The status monitoring applications are coupled to a remote receive module via a one-way data link or a firewall. The remote receive module receives the log files and processes the log files to either identify any unauthorized status conditions identified therein or to generate a cumulative log file consisting of events occurring over a predetermined time interval.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring data transfers over a one-way data link from a send node to a receive node. A send log file monitoring and transmitting module associated with the send node on a first server outputs a send log file containing information about data sent by the send node. A receive log file monitoring and transmitting module associated with the receive node on a second server outputs a receive log file containing information about data received by the receive node. A reconciliation module on a third server receives the send log file and the receive log file and identifies any data transfer errors by comparing the send log file with the receive log file. A web server is coupled to the reconciliation module to provide user access to the identified data transfer errors.

Abstract: A system for filtering a digital signal transmitted in a protocol featuring multi-level packetization from a first server to a second server. The first server is coupled to the second server via a one-way data link. The system includes a filter having an input for receiving the digital signal and an output. The filter is configured to analyze the digital video signal and determine whether the digital signal violates one or more predetermined criteria. The filter may be within the first server, or alternatively, within the second server. The predetermined criteria may be unauthorized security level information included within metadata transmitted with the digital video signal. The predetermined criteria may also be format information that, when not conformed to, indicates potential malware or other bad content included within the digital video signal. The filter provides low data transfer latency and/or decoupling of data filter latency from data transfer latency.

Abstract: A system for transmitting an input stream for use with an apparatus comprising a plurality of entities (e.g. applications, processes etc.) wherein each entity comprises an associated entity profile having associated profile data. The system comprises: a focus component for detecting focus of a first entity and an intercept component for intercepting the input stream having input data, before the input stream is input to the focused first entity. A match component matches the input data with first profile data of a first entity profile associated with the focused first entity. In response to the input data not matching the first profile data, the match component matches the input data with second profile data of a second entity profile associated with a second entity. In response to the input data matching the second profile data, the input stream is transmitted to the second entity.

Abstract: This invention provides a plastic disposable nozzle tube for a dispensing cartridge, itself disposable, so that the cartridge and nozzle tube can be disposed of after use. The cartridge contains crease setting composition which is dispensed through the nozzle tube and into a crease in a garment which is to be permanently set by the composition. The nozzle tube is pushed into a transverse bore in the cartridge and comprises a tube portion received in the bore and a shoe portion which is push fitted onto one end of the tube portion in a unique position of alignment and is connected thereto. The other end of the tube portion is closed by a plug pushed into the tube portion and connected thereto. Also provided is a nib portion having a rearwardly extending fin having a portion which engages a guide plate attached to the cartridge.

Abstract: A device is disclosed which includes a camera pig and a tow pig having an articulated connection therebetween to permit movement through pipe bends. The tow pig includes a syphon device for projecting liquids upwardly and forwardly and also includes a compressor and a desiccant chamber for drying of gas which is injected into a camera space between cups of the camera pig. A flow path is provided through the camera pig which by-passes the camera space, for maintaining a passive environment therein.
