Abstract: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and network security manager apparatus that assists with enforcing firewall and security policies based on subscriber identification and subscriber class includes receiving network traffic from a plurality of client devices. A unique subscriber identification number and a subscriber class for each of the plurality of client devices is identified. One or more network security policies associated with each of the identified unique subscriber identification number and the subscriber class is obtained. Each of the obtained one or more network security policies is enforced on the corresponding plurality of client devices or a network security manager apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an interferometric range resolution apparatus comprising: an antenna and a transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless pulses; a dish configured to direct the received wireless pulses to the antenna; and a processor electrically coupled to the antenna via the transceiver, the processor configured to provide range resolution of at least two objects along a same line-of-sight of the transmitted wireless pulses.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition comprising a matrix suitable for implantation in humans, comprising defatted, shredded, allogeneic human muscle tissue that has been combined with an aqueous carrier and dried in a predetermined shape. Also disclosed is a tissue graft or implant comprising a matrix suitable for implantation in humans, comprising defatted, shredded, allogeneic human muscle tissue that has been combined with an aqueous carrier and dried in a predetermined shape. The composition and/or tissue graft or implant of the invention is usable in combination with seeded cells, a tissue growth factor, and/or a chemotactic agent to attract a desired cell.

Abstract: An over-height vehicle barrier has a supporting beam mounted above a carriageway, with multiple blade-like members rotatably mounted to the supporting beam such that the blade-like members are suspended downwardly from the beam in parallel relationship and in close proximity one to another. A leading edge of each member faces oncoming traffic on the carriageway for possible engagement by an over-height vehicle such that each member can rotate about the axis of the beam independently of the other members when struck by an over-height vehicle. A further beam is engageable by the rotating members when struck by a vehicle to limit the extent of rotation about the axis of the beam and to thereby cause the members to rotate in a return direction. Engagement of the members by a vehicle generates a warning noise to alert the driver of the vehicle and the further beam itself can generate further additional noise when engaged by the rotating members.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an intermediate composition for producing a muscle tissue matrix suitable for implantation in humans, comprising shredded, allogeneic human muscle tissue that has been combined with an aqueous carrier, preferably a biocompatible acid solution, to form a muscle tissue slurry having a viscosity within the range of 1 centistoke to 20,000 centistokes measured at 25° C. In another aspect, the present invention is directed to a tissue implant comprising a human muscle tissue matrix.

Abstract: A cross-linked flexible sponge absorbent medium containing substantially uniformly distributed fibrous reinforcement is prepared under such conditions that swelling of the sponge is controlled to a water retention value of 2 to 6; and simultaneously or subsequently, the cross-linked sponge is reacted with a reagent which introduces functional groups into the modified cross-linked sponge. There is also provided apparatus having an inlet for liquid, an outlet for liquid so as to define a path for liquid flow between the inlet and the outlet, an adsorbent medium, obtainable by the above method, being positioned across the liquid flow path in the apparatus.

Abstract: A removable handle for an operating lever of a load chain binder of the type having a toggle linkage wherein the handle is detachably connected to the operating lever for pivoting the toggle linkage in one direction over-center to tension the chain, and in the opposite direction over-center to release the chain. The handle is automatically released from the operating lever when pivoting the toggle linkage in the direction to release the tension from the load chain to prevent injury to the person operating the handle.
