Abstract: A computer device includes a download unit which downloads one or more files into a storage device. A file logging unit records a resource locator identifying a source network location of the file, when the file is downloaded, and associates the resource locator with a first fingerprint of the file. A system policy unit stores the resource locator associated with a process control policy relevant to the file. A process control unit is arranged to obtain a second fingerprint of the file upon launching a process in a runtime execution environment, retrieve the resource locator from the file logging unit by matching the second fingerprint with the first fingerprint, retrieve the process control policy from the system policy unit according to the retrieved resource locator, and selectively apply process execution privileges which determine execution of the process in the runtime execution environment according to the retrieved process control policy.

Abstract: Topical sanitizer includes avenanthramides, which is an active component of oats that is beneficial to the skin. The topical sanitizer is used preferably in conjunction with gloves that have an inner coating that includes avenanthramides. By using topical sanitizer that includes avenanthramides before and after wearing gloves, the skin of the person wearing the glove is more exposed to the beneficial avenanthramides all during the workday, not just when wearing gloves. The result is healthier, much softer and more comfortable skin on the hands.

Abstract: Absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders, training pants and the like, having elastomeric ear panels and a fastening system that provides the user with different options as to how the absorbent article may be fitted to and removed from the wearer. The absorbent articles allow the wearer to choose between conventional and pull-on diaper configurations, or combinations thereof, and properly and comfortably fit a large range of wearer sizes. Further, the absorbent articles can be pulled on and/or off as a pant. This feature is provided by the ear panels which maintain sufficient tension to hold the diaper on the wearer throughout the period of use without harming the wearer's skin, while providing enough stretch to allow the diaper to be pulled up or down over the wearer's hips. The fastening system is refastenable for convenience yet strong enough to maintain the diaper in a fastened configuration without becoming detached if the diaper is pulled on or off the wearer.

Abstract: A computer device and method are described for controlling access to a resource. An execution environment executes a user process with access privileges according to a user security context. A security unit controls access to resources according to the user security context, with the user process making system calls to the security unit. A proxy hook module embedded within the user process intercepts the system call and generates a proxy resource access request. A proxy service module in a privileged security context validates the proxy resource access request from the proxy hook module and, if validated, obtains and returns a resource handle that permits access to the desired resource by the user process.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel compounds of formula (I): and derivatives thereof useful for the modulation, notably the inhibition of the activity or function of the phosphoinositide 3? OH kinase family (hereinafter PI3 kinases), suitably, PI3K?, PI3K?, PI3K?, and/or PI3K?.

Abstract: This invention relates to coloured polymer particles prepared by a reverse emulsion solvent removal process, electrophoretic fluids comprising such particles, and electrophoretic display devices comprising such fluids.

Abstract: A dielectric fitting (10, 10?, 110) assembly includes a hose (14, 114) connected between two end fittings (12, 121, 112), and a structural reinforcement portion having at least an inner layer (26, 26?,126) formed of a first composite material having a high strength and a second composite material having a high electrical resistance. The first and second composite materials cover the assembly and provide a smooth transition of radial stiffness as the inner layer transitions from a high strength portion to a high electrically resistant portion.

Abstract: A golf tee made from durable materials with an upper portion flexible shaft of the tee providing a method for the tee to flex freely when struck and return to its normal position without wear or damage. The insertion height of the tee is controlled with a height disk formed in the center of the tee that allows pushing the tee into the ground consistently each time. A fluted bottom post of the tee provides stabilizing ribs and increased surface area to contact the ground, thus holding the tee in place more securely than the tradition round tees. A 120 degree angled tri-post ball seat creates a self-centering method for teeing the ball easily and consistently. The durable material the tee is constructed from provides durability allowing the tee to be used repeatedly without wear or breaking.

Abstract: A computer device provides an execution environment that supports a plurality of processes. A plurality of key resources are associated with a security application that may perform process elevation to grant privileged access rights to a user process. A security module controls access to the key resources using an access control list. An anti-tamper mechanism creates a protection group as a local security group and adds a deny access control entry to the access control list. The anti-tamper mechanism intercepts the user process and creates a revised access token identifying the user process as a member of the protection group. The security module matches the protection group in the revised access token of the user process against the deny access control entry in the access control list of the key resources thereby restricting access by the user process even though the user process otherwise has privileges to access those resources.
