Abstract: A high speed method and apparatus for citrus juice extraction is provided. The juice extraction system includes a reamer having a plurality of diagonal grooves formed in the surface of the primary rib or ribs of the reamer. The grooves allow juice to escape easily, which in turn allows the reamer to extract over 99% of the citrus juice.

Abstract: A modulo reduction is performed on a value a represented as an ordered sequence of computer readable words. The lowest order words are eliminated by substituting an equivalent value represented by higher order words for each of the lower order words. The lowest order words are eliminated until the sequence has a word length corresponding to the modulus. Carries and borrows resulting from the substitution are propagated from lower order words to higher order words. Further reduction is performed to maintain the word length of the sequence to that of the modulus. The further reduction may be determined by examination of a carryover bit or may be performed a predetermined number of times without examination.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner includes a nozzle, an air-filtering dirt receptacle, and a motor. A fan is configured to be driven by the motor to drive a flow of air that carries dirt from a surface through the nozzle and into the receptacle to clean the surface. A controller is configured to provide a notification to a user when the speed of the motor exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A boom member (96) is pivotable relative to a platform (58) in a boom plane located intermediate the block ends of an engine (E) also mounted on the platform (58). The platform (58) with a cab (C) is rotatable by a turntable (46) 360° within the extent of a frame (12) moveable between adjacent rows of trees. The cab (C) includes corner partitions (23) extending between the front partition (228) and side partitions (226) at acute angles. A gullwing cover (200) is pivotably mounted to the platform (58) and has a ladder (208) extending over a cutout (204b) which extends over the engine (E) in an operating position and generally vertically in a service position. The air cleaner (71) is held in a spaced, parallel relation to the radiator (R) by its purge tank (65). The radiator (R) and a hydraulic heat exchanger (77) are in a spaced, parallel arrangement on opposite sides of the turntable axis.

Abstract: A privilege elevation flaw detection analysis is performed on a host system on a network. In addition, accounts on the host system are identified that have access to, or corresponding accounts on, other systems on the network. Privilege elevation analyses are performed on one or more of the network systems corresponding to the identified accounts. A privilege elevation graph is generated of the host system from the privilege elevation analysis. The graph includes account nodes and edges illustrating the detected privilege elevations between the accounts on the host system. In addition, nodes for the network systems are added to the graphs along with edges connecting to the nodes corresponding to the accounts identified as having access to the particular network systems. The user may then select a particular network system node and view its detected privilege elevations in relation to the host system.

Abstract: A data collection application is executed on a target system. Various data indicative of privilege elevation pathways is collected, including user account data, file permission data, and system registry data. The collected data is analyzed according to heuristics. System accounts are displayed on a graph as nodes. Detected privilege elevations between the accounts are displayed as edges between their corresponding accounts. A user may customize the displayed graph to focus on particular goal accounts, and categories of privilege elevations.

Abstract: A data collection application is executed on a target system. Various data indicative of privilege elevation pathways is collected, including user account data, file permission data, and system registry data. The collected data is analyzed according to heuristics. Potential privilege elevation pathways are identified based on the analysis and presented to a user or administrator. The effect of a new application on a system can be determined by performing the analysis before the application installation, and comparing the results with an analysis performed after the application installation.

Abstract: A method for electronically facilitating an application process comprises creating a customized application for a data requester, the customized application being accessed via an Internet link to which access is controlled, granting access to the customized application to a specified data provider, accepting data from the specified data provider, providing an information management tool to the data requester, the information management tool being operable to manipulate the data from the specified data provider, and exchanging data between the data provider and the data requester. The present invention may be implemented by a computer carrying an ordered set of instructions which, when executed, perform the above-identified method.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for controlling weld conditions during welding include identifying a transition between a first mode of operation during which no spatter is produced and a second mode of operation during which some amount of spatter is produced. A power supply voltage is adjusted such that welding occurs under conditions associated with the transition. Identifying the transition includes identifying near zero voltage fluctuations in the power supply voltage.

Abstract: A system for and method of enhancing web page delivery and visitor tracking. The invention provides the ability to control redirection of Web traffic of humans. It can identify visitors to a Web page, track their movements, log critical information, and analyze the Web traffic in order to judge the success in driving quality traffic to some known goal on a Web site, such as a sale. The system tracks visitors via use of redirection with an image tag. The invention can also use unique image marker references to prevent browsers from accessing cached images.

Abstract: Methods of killing or inhibiting tumors comprising of heterogeneous or mixed cell populations is described. The killing or inhibition of tumors is achieved by selectively targeting a unique ligand suspected of being expressed on a particular cell population to also kill a cell population lacking the unique ligand. These conjugates have therapeutic use as they are delivered to a specific cell population to kill these cells and the cytotoxic drug is released to kill non-targeted cells, thereby eliminating the tumor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to prodrugs of pharmaceutical moieties, more specifically antimicrobial agents, methods for their preparation, pharmaceutical formulations containing them and their use in the treatment of microbial infections.

Abstract: A security system with a mechanism to identify types of information that need to be secured and another mechanism to specify how the types are to be secured. The system includes a sender having an application and a receiver having a security module and one or more datastores to store information related to types of information that need to be secured (e.g. “scopes”), how information is to be secured (e.g., “profiles”), and a mapping (e.g., “bindings”) between the scopes and profiles. Scopes can be implemented by application developers. Profiles can be implemented by application deployers and/or administrators. The security module determines which scope is appropriate for the message, and then determines the profile that is mapped to the scope. The security module can then make an access control decision using the profile.
