Abstract: The security of network connections on a computing device is protected by detecting and preventing compromise of the network connections, including man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Communications are intercepted by a client-side proxy before being sent to a recipient designated by an application. The intercepted communication is inspected, and a first connection is determined to be used to send the communication based on the inspection. Finally, before the communication is sent via the first connection, an action is performed by the client-side proxy resulting in an indication that the first connection is compromised. The action may include comparing data associated with the first connection to data associated with known compromised connections. In various embodiments, additional security responses may subsequently be performed by the client-side proxy based on the indication that the first connection is compromised.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide for preventing a false report of a compromised connection even though a security component receives an indication a connection is compromised, and the security component, by default, would report a compromised connection. In the method, the security component determines that captive portal authentication is enabled for a computing device. The security component requests a response from a server over a connection, with the response indicating that the connection is compromised. However, because captive portal authentication is enabled, the security component does not report the connection as being compromised.

Abstract: The security of network connections on a computing device is protected by detecting and preventing compromise of the network connections, including man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Active probing and other methods are used to detect the attacks. Responses to detection include one or more of displaying a warning to a user of the computing device, providing an option to disconnect the network connection, blocking the network connection, switching to a different network connection, applying a policy, and sending anomaly information to a security server.

Abstract: A system for estimating a flow rate of an agrichemical includes a conduit delivering the agrichemical from a repository to an application in a field, and a flow meter connected in-line with the conduit. The flow meter provides an estimate of a flow rate of the agrichemical through the conduit.

Abstract: An arch shaped structural member suitable for use as a wakeboard tower including a pair of legs and a crosspiece supported by the legs, both of the legs and the crosspiece being a coreless cast structural member characterized as a cast structural member and devoid of a hollow interior enclosed by solid portions.

Abstract: A wakeboard tower having a tower leg pivotally mounted to a folding support system, the folding support system including includes an upper support arm, a spring, a lower support arm, and a base member. The tower can be folded between a plurality of positions between an elevated position relative to the boat hull and a lowered position relative to the boat hull.

Abstract: A wakeboard tower having a foldable tower leg having a spring loaded latch assembly mounted to the first section of the leg and a lock pin mounted to the second section of the leg, with the spring loaded latch assembly including a handle rotatably mounted to an exterior portion of the first section of the leg and having a rod including a protruding cam surface located on the rod and a spring operable to bias the cam surface in a direction away from the handle.

Abstract: A sun cover for use with a boat tower having an elevated tow point. The cover includes a frame having a forward portion and a rear portion located adjacent to the forward portion, with at least a portion of the rear portion being spaced above or below the forward portion, defining a gap defined above or below a trailing portion of the forward portion and a leading portion of the rear portion. The frame is mounted to the tower and oriented relative to the tower so that the tow point is accessible via the gap such that a tow rope connected to the tow point extends rearwardly from the tow point via the gap and the cover does not interfere with a tow rope attached to the tow point during use of the boat to pull a person being towed by the boat using the tow rope.

Abstract: A wakeboard tower having an elevated tow point and a bimini or other sun cover integrated to the tower in a manner that does not interfere with the tow point.

Abstract: A highly acidic metalated organic acid composition and its preparation. The acidic composition can be prepared by mixing a monovalent or polyvalent cation and an organic acid in the presence of a strong oxyacid, wherein the resultant acidic composition is less corrosive to a ferrous metal than a solution of a mineral acid having the same acidic pH value as that of the acidic composition, and where in the acid composition is more biocidal than a mixture of the organic acid and a metal salt of the organic acid which mixture has the same acid normality value as that of the acidic composition. The acidic composition can be prepared by mixing at least one regenerating acid, at least one metal base, and at least one organic acid, wherein the amount of the regenerating acid is in excess of the equivalent amount of the metal base.

Abstract: The use of a highly acidic metalated organic acid composition (“HAMO”) as a food additive. The HAMO is used to reduce biological contaminants, and thus preserve, a nutriment. The HAMO is being absorbed in, or adsorbed on, a nutriment material to give a prepared nutriment.
