  • Publication number: 20190118231
    Abstract: A support frame for a basket in a cleaning tank is attached to a lifting member to raise and lower the basket and also two vertical stabilising members to prevent unwanted movement of the basket when asymmetrically or heavily loaded, which may lead the basket to jam against the sides of the tank. The stabilising members run in guides external to the tank and include skids or wheels for low friction movement. Further rollers attached to the baskets prevent it from fouling against the inside surfaces of the tank.

  • Patent number: 7590247
    Abstract: A system and method for reusable efficient key distribution is disclosed. Key distribution is effected through the application of self-repairing groups that obviate the need for key distribution messages in portions of a hierarchical tree. In one embodiment, the self-repairing group is based on a reusable power set.

  • Patent number: 6950933
    Abstract: A system for notification of a change in condition of an electronic certificate is disclosed. The system includes a certificate server comprising a processor having a computer program comprising a plurality of executable modules that are executable on the processor. A first executable module is for detecting a change in condition of an electronic certificate. A second executable module in the computer program is for notifying a user of the electronic certificate of the change in condition. The computer program may comprise a third module for negotiating a contract, called a certificate action point (CAP), with the certificate user regarding the type of change in condition the second module notifies the certificate user of, the way the second module notifies the certificate user, the diligence with which the second module notifies the certificate user of the change in condition, and a price for notifying the certificate user.

  • Patent number: 6922776
    Abstract: A scalable system for notification of a change in condition of an electronic certificate is provided. The system includes a network of servers capable of providing notification of changes in conditions of electronic certificate to an unlimited number of users. The system includes a first server comprising a detection module and a notification module. The system having at least one server capable of actively monitoring and detecting changes in conditions of a certificate. Other CAP servers in the system may and/or may not actively monitor electronic certificates at the same time. That is, these CAP servers may actively monitor conditions of electronic certificates at the same time they play passive roles (e.g., not monitoring the electronic certificates for which they will be notified of changes from another CAP server).
