Abstract: A barrier for diverting fish from a water flow channel (42) along which water is to flow, the barrier (45) comprising a generally planar array of fixed upright slats (46) each extending at least the entire depth of the water. The array (45) is set at an angle less than 90° to the initial flow direction, preferably even less than 30°, and each slat is set at an orientation so as to divert water into a direction other than that through the barrier; the spacing between adjacent slats measured along the array is less than 300 mm. For example the flow channel (42) may branch off from a river (40), the barrier (45) being provided at the mouth of the channel (42) so that the barrier is oriented substantially parallel to the flow in the river, and the slats (46) may be at say 60° or 30° to the initial flow direction in the river, so as to divert fish and passively-carried objects along past the barrier and on down the river.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, there are provided mechanisms and methods for controlling access to data. These mechanisms and methods for controlling access to data make it possible for systems to have improved control over accesses to information by redacting responses made by services accessible by the system based upon a determined current access policy. This ability of a system to redact responses to queries or requests for services in accordance with an access policy makes it possible to attain improved security in computing systems over conventional access control mechanisms that control based upon access privileges to a file, an account, a storage device or a machine upon which the information is stored.

Abstract: A barrier for diverting fish from a water flow channel such as an intake (12) consists of a dyke (10) enclosing the water intake, and extending at least the entire depth of the body of water. There are pipes (20) extending between opposite sides of the dyke (10), of diameter at least 800 mm (31 inches). The inlet end of each pipe (20) communicates with the body of water through one or more inlet ducts (26) of width no more than 600 mm (24 inches), this being a duct size to which the fish from the body of water have an aversion. Each inlet duct (26) may also be aligned at least 45° below the longitudinal axis of the pipe (20). The confined space, the resulting darkness, and the change in water flow direction, all have the effect of discouraging fish from entering the ducts. The number of pipes (20) should be sufficiently large that the intake velocity will be less than 150 mm/s (0.5 ft/s), to minimise entrainment or impingement of fish.

Abstract: A system, method and media for a service oriented architecture, including in one embodiment a method for configuring at least one service proxy, comprising: providing a configuration to a service bus segment, accepting a response from the service bus segment wherein the response indicates whether or not the configuration can be applied to a service bus segment that provided the response, and instructing the service bus segment to either commit the configuration or to cancel the configuration, wherein the commit instruction is provided if each accepted response indicates success. Other features, aspects and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures and the claims.

Abstract: A method for adaptively authenticating a subject, said method adapted to cooperate with a security provider interface hierarchy, said method comprising the steps of providing for the implementation of an authentication interface adapted to extend and implement at least a portion of the security provider hierarchy, providing for the authentication of the subject when so directed by the authentication interface, and providing for the association of a signed principal with the subject upon the successful authentication of the subject.

Abstract: A system, method and media for a service oriented architecture, including in one embodiment, a method for configuring a service proxy, comprising configuring a transformation between a reception protocol and a transmission protocol, configuring a potential message processing path capable of processing a message that has been received with the reception protocol, providing the message for transmission to the transmission protocol, wherein the potential message processing path includes a message processing node capable of processing the message, and wherein the message processing node implements an interface and/or a protocol that is compatible with the service proxy. Other features, aspects and objects of the invention can be obtained from a review of the specification, the figures and the claims.
