  • Patent number: 11588724
    Abstract: A new approach is proposed to support firewall protection of dynamically introduced routes in an internal communication network. Under the proposed approach, all routes dynamically introduced into the internal communication network via a dynamic routing service are dynamically learned and tagged by a route collection engine. A dynamic network object is created, which is a software component configured to store a plurality of single IP addresses and/or IP address ranges of the dynamically learned routes in a dynamic routing network. A firewall engine of the internal communication network is configured to create one or more firewall rules referencing the dynamic network object and apply various security measures/policies to network data packets routed on the dynamically learned routes in the dynamic routing network based on IP address matching with the dynamic network object.

  • Patent number: 7018417
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a socket for an artificial hip joint. The present invention provides an artificial joint socket for knocking into a bone, with an excellent primary stabilization, which may be manufactured so that at least two locking elements are arranged in the distal superficies region of the socket shell. The locking elements anchor the socket shell in the hip bone and safeguard against tensile forces, torsion forces, and combined tensile and torsion forces. The locking elements effectively prevent the socket from rotating-out opposite the knock-in direction. When knocking in the implant, the locking elements cut into the bone and rotate the socket shell about the socket axis by a few degrees.

  • Publication number: 20040243247
    Abstract: Disclosed is a socket (1) for an artificial hipjoint, comprising a base body or shell (10) having an especially spherical, ellipsoidal or conical covering surface (11) which is essentially rotationally symmetrical with the axis of the socket (AP). At least two locking elements (20) are arranged on the outer side of the base body (10), respectively comprising an insertable rib (21). The locking elements (20) are symmetrically distributed on the periphery of the socket (1). When the implant is inserted, the locking elements cut into the bone and rotate the socket shell by a small number of degrees around the axis of the socket. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the pitch of the rib-shaped locking elements in relation to the base area increases from the distal or equatorial end to the proximal or pole-sided end, whereby the locking elements clamp and lock the implant so that it can withstand axial traction forces, radial torsion forces and a combination of both forces.
