  • Patent number: 7823487
    Abstract: A cutting tool for machining by chip removal has a supply of a cold-gas flow for cooling the immediate machine-cutting region. Accordingly, in this case, the cold-gas flow is supplied internally and is generated by a low-temperature generator, which is integrated into the tool main body and which, via a vortex tube, converts compressed gas from normal temperature into a cold-gas flow and a warm-gas flow.

  • Patent number: 7784880
    Abstract: A braking system for a floor conveyor, which features at least one travel motor for at least one driven wheel, an electric steering control for at least one steered wheel, a service brake with a braking transmitter generating a braking signal and an electromagnetically releasable spring brake as an emergency stop brake, which is amongst others actuable when an error signal is generated in the steering control or a braking signal otherwise, which further features a superordinated vehicle control for various functions of the floor conveyor and a battery for supplying the individual electric consumers, wherein the steering control actuates a first switch at an error signal, which cuts off the electric connection between the battery and the emergency stop brake, wherein an additional switch is connected in series with the first switch and is actuable by a PWM actuator of the vehicle control, and a control line is connected between the steering control and the vehicle control, such that both switches are switched

  • Publication number: 20100100927
    Abstract: Computer implemented methods (200) for protecting web based applications (110, 114) from Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. The methods involve (204) classifying each resource offered by a web server application as a CSRF-protected resource or a not-CSRF-protected resource. The methods also involve (214, . . . , 222) performing a user authentication, (224) initializing an authentication-token, and (226) initializing a CSRF protection secret that is used to validate CSRF protection parameters contained in resource identifiers for the resources. The methods further involve (228) performing a server-side rewriting process (300) to add the CSRF protection parameter to the resource identifiers for the resources and/or (230) performing a client-side rewriting process to add the CSRF protection parameter to a resource identifier for a second resource (e.g., a resource created at a client computer (102)).

  • Patent number: 7530110
    Abstract: An access control system and method includes a risk index module which computes a risk index for a dimension contributing to risk. A boundary range defined for a parameter representing each risk index such that the parameter above the range is unacceptable, below the range is acceptable and in the range is acceptable with mitigation measures. A mitigation module determines the mitigation measures which reduce the parameter within the range.

  • Publication number: 20080295164
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer program storage device are disclosed for providing security in a mashup comprised of an agglomeration of a plurality of portlets. These portlets are sent from one or more back-end servers, pass through a portal server, and are received by a client browser. The method comprises the steps of developing an isolation boundary between the portlets to isolate each of the portlets from each of the other portlets, and extending said isolation boundary through the portal server and through the browser. Preferably, the portal server bases the isolation boundary on a server-side static analysis and code instrumentation of the portlets. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, each of the portlets is checked for a number of syntactic constraints and marked with a corresponding service domain. The portlets are aggregated into a page-using HTML, and that page is converted into JavaScript.

  • Publication number: 20080173257
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for animal control and restraint. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a retractable tether (e.g., leash) having a single-handed grip handle which include a built-in chemical repellent. The handle further includes a mechanism for quickly dispensing chemical repellent directionally by initiating a safety and actuating a trigger mechanism. The repellant can be used to rapidly spray one or more animals (such as during a dogfight) so as to minimize physical trauma to the dogs, and emotional trauma to the owner(s). Also, the handle is optionally equipped with a built in light for effective use of the handle (and repellant) in the dark, as well as a retractable mechanism to manage the dispensing and storage of a leash that can be attached to an animal collar.

  • Publication number: 20070109219
    Abstract: An electro-optic display comprises, in order, a backplane comprising a plurality of pixel electrodes; a layer of a solid electro-optic medium; a main adhesive layer; and at least one of a light-transmissive protective layer and a light-transmissive electrically-conductive layer. The electro-optic layer may be in direct contact with the backplane or separated therefrom by a thin auxiliary layer of adhesive. The main adhesive layer may be colored to provide a color filter array. An inverted front plane laminate useful in forming such a display comprises the same layers except that the backplane is replaced by a release sheet. The display combines good low temperature performance and good resolution at higher temperatures.

  • Patent number: 7149895
    Abstract: The invention is related to a system which allows a user to authenticate unknown terminals. The invention uses a first authentication step wherein the terminal authenticates itself to a server. Depending on whether the personal device has its own output means, such as a loudspeaker or a screen, the final message, whether the terminal can be trusted or not, can be output on the personal device or on the terminal itself. In the case where the device has no output means of its own, this message can originate in the device and be transmitted from there to the terminal. The user can input authentication information into his personal device, which can then be fully or partially transmitted to the terminal. In the end, the terminal may use the transmitted information to give out the authenticity output message. After the first authentication step follows a second authentication step, wherein the server authenticates itself to the personal device, if there is one.
