Abstract: A readily cleanable water storage system and a method of maintaining cleanliness of water in said system are disclosed. The system comprises an overhead water tank, wherein said water tank comprises a floor, at least one inlet, a draining outlet with a stop cock, an overflow outlet, a supply outlet and a pump, characterized in that the floor of the tank is inclined at a pre-determined continuous and effective slope either towards another point on the periphery to form an inclined floor, or from all sides to form a conical bottom with the supply outlet located at the side wall of the tank above the conical bottom and the draining outlet is located at the periphery of the inclined floor at sloping end or at the convergence of the cone formed by the conical bottom.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a configuration request and a first key from a network device, granting a first class of access to the network device, sending a configuration instruction to the network device, receiving an association request from the network device, and granting a second class of access to the network device. The configuration request and the first key are received at a first time. The network device is outside a secure network segment at a first time. The first class of access is granted based on the first key. The configuration instruction is send in response to granting the first class of access. The association request includes a second key. The granting the second class of access is based on the second key.

Abstract: A rescue device for marooned victims consists of a pair of holding arms (10, 10?) for holding the victims and a pair of seating arms (11, 11?) for providing seating facility to the victim. A motor (20) mounted on top of holding arms (10, 10?) moves arms (10, 10?) and (11, 11?) in a direction opposite to each other. The two pair of arms (10, 10?) and (11, 11?) rotate co-axially around main holding bar (40) in directions opposite to each other whenever motor (20) is activated without destabilizing the suspension above, wherein the holding arms (10, 10?) are closed in for holding the victims body by the arc or V shaped structures (30, 30?) when the seating arms (11, 11?) are closed in for providing a seating facility (16) through electrical means (50) and lock (51).

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed that provide a significant improvement for securely selecting a subset of available cryptographic functionality in a system. This is implemented by using the highest level of cryptography available in a system to encrypt the system initialization data used to select, enable, disable, or configure cryptographic features in a crypto chip. The system decrypts the encrypted data by momentarily fully enabling the crypto chip during the boot process, and using a known, system-unique, and fixed seed to generate the private key to use for decryption. The seed used is the system's MAC address (L2 LAN address—medium access control). Alternatively, the system could include a one-time use decryption-only algorithm in the boot strap code itself.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for significantly reducing the number and types of non-volatile memory used on a typical motherboard is disclosed. While there are typically three or more types of non-volatile memory used to support the CPU during system boot and initialization, the present invention uses only one. This allows for a significant savings in materials cost and design effort.

Abstract: A reset pin of a non-volatile read/write memory, which stores boot code, is provided with a reset signal in response to a system reset output by a watchdog timer or other external circuitry. The reset signal causes the non-volatile read/write memory to be placed into read mode. Accordingly, even when a system reset occurs while the non-volatile read/write memory is in write mode, a hang state can be avoided since the memory will be reset to read mode before attempting to read boot code for a reboot operation.
