Abstract: Methods and systems for adapting existing service provider servers to support two-factor authentication by leveraging an authentication server, which may be operated by a third party. Where a user desires to access content or services offered by a service provider server, the user may employ a client agent (for example, a web browser) in order to authenticate with the service provider server. Service provider server can redirect client agent to an authentication server to process at least a second factor or derived credential.

Abstract: A dimensioning apparatus for generating a dimensional drawing from a model includes an element database with predetermined element names. A plurality of model elements can be associated with corresponding element names. The apparatus also includes a model sectioning tool operable to section the model to thereby generate at least a portion of the model elements. The apparatus further includes a dimensioning tool with a plurality of predetermined dimension names and a plurality of dimensioning algorithms associated with corresponding dimension names. At least two of the model elements are utilized by each of the dimensioning algorithms to thereby automatically detect dimension values of the model. The dimensioning tool is further operable to associate the detected dimension values with corresponding ones of the dimension names. In addition, the dimensioning apparatus includes a plotting tool operable to output the dimensional drawing showing the dimension values of the model detected by the dimensioning tool.

Abstract: A web application event framework which allows for robust, fully functional web-enabled applications based on real-time interactivity. A web server creates proxies which establish persistent listening objects between a web browser and an application server. The web browser hosts the listener application, as well as a publisher application and the web application event framework, preferably in different HTML frames. Upon request from a user, the web application event framework start controller creates a session object which establishes a persistent connection between the web browser and the web server and maintains a session state. The session object creates one or more application instance objects, which maintain an application state specific to the functionality of the application. The web application event framework application creates a listener to listen for a specific set of events, and each event is published to the web server through the established session object connection.
