Abstract: A computer implemented method of applying a technical application security posture to a software project is described. The method allows an industry or corporate wide technical security posture to be enumerated. It further allows multiple software applications to be represented based on existing or proposed software (source code) producing a model representation of the application. Implementations of the technical security posture can then be combined with the software application model to ensure the necessary technical security posture is applied to the application implementation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pliable bag comprised of a mammal pest barrier resistant to mammal pest passage therethrough. The bag is sized and shaped to receive a ground vehicle, such as an automobile, a truck, a recreational vehicle, farming equipment, construction equipment or the like. Included is establishing access to an interior surface of the bag; by way of this access, moving the ground vehicle into the bag to rest on the interior surface thereof; and while the ground vehicle is resting on the interior surface, closing the bag to envelop the ground vehicle inside the bag and isolate the ground vehicle from mammal pests outside of the bag. In one form, the closure of the bag is provided with a type of zipper.

Abstract: Diagnostic computer systems and diagnostic user interfaces. Embodiments include displaying user interface elements for receiving a diagnosis a medical condition, and receiving the identity of a diagnosis of a particular medical condition. A plurality of treatment options for the particular medical condition are dynamically identified from one or more databases, and a particular treatment option is selected. A care plan data structure is built, which identifies interactive content related to the particular diagnosis and/or the particular treatment option, and questions related to the particular diagnosis and/or the particular treatment option. The care plan data structure is sent to a server computer system, which causes the server computer system to send a notification of the care plan to a patient computer system. One ore more care plan responses are received, including the identity of interactive content viewed at the patient computer system and response to the questions.

Abstract: A domain name system (DNS) server is disclosed. The DNS server includes: a receiver to receive a DNS query comprising a domain name from a client device, wherein the domain name corresponds to a host server; a modifier to append a domain to an end of the domain name to create a modified domain name; and a mapping engine to compare the modified domain name to a local cache, wherein the local cache comprises a list of domain names, at least some of which are to be routed to an Internet Protocol (IP) address corresponding to an intermediate server.

Abstract: In various embodiments, methods define an analysis window for a dimensional model in accordance with a window template and a starting point. One or more aggregate definitions are produced based on the analysis window. In another embodiment, the dimensional model comprises a time dimension, and the window template is associated with the time dimension. In yet another embodiment, the starting point is changed to a new starting point, and a new analysis window is defined using the new starting point.

Abstract: Embodiments herein are directed to user interfaces and methodologies for computer-aided medical diagnosing and prescriptions. In one embodiment, a user interface is presented, which includes a selectable menu option for each of a plurality of content types. Each selectable menu option is configured to present medical content relevant to the corresponding content type, when selected. Based on user input entered in connection with navigating the content types, one or more content items are identified as part of a prescription, and a selectable user interface element is presented for sending of the prescription to a patient computer system. Other embodiments include creating and modifying prescriptions based on evaluation questions. In one embodiment, medical content is added to a prescription based on the user's answer to an evaluation question. In another embodiment, a prescription is modified based on a user's answer to an evaluation question.

Abstract: This bookmark comprises a flat anchor and a ribbon. The anchor has non-aggressive pressure-sensitive adhesive on its back, to enable it to adhere to a book surface such as the inside back cover. The adhesive is weak enough that the bookmark may be detached and used in another book without leaving significant residue. The ribbon is attached to the anchor so that it the user can slide it to lengthen or shorten the upper part of the ribbon. The user drapes the upper part of the ribbon over the tops of the desired pages and back down into the book to mark a particular page. The user may adjust the length of the ribbon so that it slightly protrudes from the bottom of the book. The anchor may contain graphic images or text.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, embodiments of a DNS server, a DNS proxy process, and an intermediate server (IMS) are described. The DNS server, DNS proxy process, and intermediate server (IMS) described herein utilize a source IP address for a client device, in combination with a destination IP address for a host server, in reverse mapping operations in order to accurately provide a hostname originally requested by the client device.
