Abstract: A rib post (10) has a hollow substantially triangular cross-section comprising composite material. The rib post (10) can form a structural member to join two adjacently placed components together, for example a spar and internal rib in a wing of an aircraft. The rib post (10) can be formed from first (12), second (14) and third (16) walls. The first wall (12) can abut a surface of one component and the second wall (14) can abut a surface of a second component. The first and second walls (12, 14) can be attached to the respective components, such as a rib and spar, to join them together. The third wall (16) joins together the first and second walls (12, 14) to form the hollow triangular section.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for analyzing code. A valuation component, which provides a value for analyzed code is comprised of a tokenization component, hashing component and numerical valuation component. As code is transferred through the components, a numerical value for the code is generated. The valuation may occur through hashing, probability analysis and comparison against a proscribed code indicator.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for intercepting, examining and controlling proscribed or predetermined code, data and files and their transfers. A preprocessing component, code decomposition component, valuation component and comparison component are used to process code. The methods of valuation used include numerical valuation so as to obtain a numerical value for the code. Additional features may include a decryption feature, code alteration component and other components.

Abstract: The present invention comprises apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture for computer virus testing in a networked environment. A host is provided that permits uploading of suspected files by a user. The are transferred to a server, where they are scanned for the presence of known virii. The files are then run, in an appropriate operating environment, separate from the operating system of the server, and the results compared to and noted against a reference. Any modified files are logged, as is any output. The user is notified as to the results, and in some embodiments, the lists of modified files are made available to various users.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture for software demonstration are disclosed. Apparatus include a server that provides, via a network, a program or programs to be demonstrated to a user. The user uploads the code that the program will execute. Results are then supplied after execution, and may be made available to the user in a number of ways. Methods and articles of manufacture are also disclosed.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and articles of manufacture are claimed for processing code comprising the preprocessing of code, transferring of the code from a storage area to a transfer component, decomposing the code, valuing the code, and comparing the code to a threshold value. The processing indicates the presence or absence of proscribed code, which may be spam, virii, confidential material, harassing material, etc. and so the code may be redirected. The especially preferred embodiments operate within a UNIX sendmail environment.
