Abstract: A method of making tonebars and other components for musical instruments comprises using a pultrusion apparatus to embed or coat glass, plant-based, and/or other fibers in or with a thermosetting, thermoplastic, or catalyzed polymer matrix. The coated fibers are pulled into a continuous bar in a curing and forming die. The bar is then cut into predetermined lengths. Each length is then carefully tuned by cutting and shaping so that when it is struck, it will emit musical notes on a chromatic musical scale. In one aspect, the fibers and resin are selected to produce tonebars for marimbas and xylophones that emulate the sound obtained from highly desirable Honduran rosewood at a fraction of the cost and environmental impact associated with this wood.

Abstract: The present application discloses a system and method for providing real-time supervision of adverse drug reactions in patients.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a wireless security system is disclosed. The wireless security system includes a client module deployed on a wireless device, a network module, and a server module. The client module is adapted to authenticate a wireless device while the wireless device is operating independently from the network module and the server module. In another embodiment, a method of distributing security policy information from a server to a mobile computing device is disclosed. The method includes authentication of a connection between the server and a gatekeeper, sending a policy package to the gatekeeper, initiating data synchronization between the mobile computing device and the gatekeeper, authenticating the mobile computing device, and sending the policy package from the gatekeeper to the mobile computing device.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a client module is deployed on a wireless device. The client module comprises a policy database including a list of authorized devices to which the wireless device may communicate. In another embodiment, the client module comprises a policy database including at least two user profiles on a wireless device, such as a personal profile and a business profile.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a network module deployed at a wireless network access node is disclosed. The network module comprises a policy database including a list of authorized wireless mobile devices and an agent for enforcing rules of the policy database.

Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a server module deployed on a server is disclosed. The server module is connected to a wireless network access node. The server module includes a database containing user information for multiple wireless devices. Each element in the database is attributable to at least one authorized wireless device and contains at least one type of data file from the following group: (i) wireless connectivity permissions, (ii) authorized wireless device identification, and (iii) authorized network access node information. In another embodiment, a computer memory is disclosed. The computer memory includes a plurality of operating keys for use in connection with security features of a mobile computing device and a root key. The root key is to encrypt the plurality of operating keys. In another embodiment, a method of enforcing security policies at a mobile computing device is provided.
