  • Publication number: 20070061874
    Abstract: Computer system, method and program for determining which support team to assign a security problem. Two or more of the following determinations are made: (a) determining if the support team has responsibility for a security policy for a computer system in which the security problem resides, (b) determining if the support team has responsibility for a subsystem in which the security problem resides within the computer system, (c) determining if the support team has responsibility for a TCP or UDP port for an application associated with the security problem within the computer system, and (d) determining if the support team has responsibility for a type of the security problem by checking for predetermined key words or phrase within a text description of the security problem. The security problem can be a security policy violation or a network based vulnerability.

  • Patent number: 6509863
    Abstract: A radar field-of-view enhancement method particularly adapted for vehicle radar detection systems having a specified detection zone. In accordance with the invention, a pair of discrete radar beams are employed having differing arc widths. Return signals from the discrete beams are compared and related to the area of a desired detection zone. This approach increases the reliability of detection in the detection zone while minimizing false alarms and missed detection areas. The beams are alternately switched on using discrete sources or by implementing a discrete phase shifting element interposed between the sources.

  • Publication number: 20020016668
    Abstract: A configuration tool, including a computer having a memory and a processor is disclosed. The configuration tool includes a database of transit system information. The database is in communications with the computer. At least one transit information display in communication with the computer over a radio frequency communications link is included. The configuration tool also includes a program running on the computer. The program is configured to define parameters for the at least one transit information display and to store the parameters in the database.
