Abstract: Methods for protecting a ground surface from exposure to material that may be spilled from or leak from one or more containers, which includes setting up a portable spill containment system that includes at least one grate for supporting the one or more containers. The grate includes a plurality of drain holes. The portable spill containment system includes a flexible bag configured to contain spills or leakage from the one or more containers that pass through the drain holes of the grate. In one embodiment, the portable spill containment system includes a plurality of pedestals that support the at least one grate. In another embodiment, the portable spill containment system includes an interconnected grid structure formed of separate and distinct spaced apart beams.

Abstract: This invention is directed generally to hydroxamic acid and amide compounds (including salts of such compounds), and, more particularly, to aryl- and heteroaryl-arylsulfonylmethyl hydroxamic acids and amides that, inter alia, inhibit protease activity, particularly matrix metalloproteinase (also known as “matrix metalloprotease” or “MMP”) activity and/or aggrecanase activity. These compounds generally correspond in structure to Formula I: wherein A1, A2, A3, E1, E2, E3, and E4 are as defined in this patent. This invention also is directed to compositions of such compounds, intermediates for the syntheses of such compounds, methods for making such compounds, and methods for treating conditions associated with MMP activity and/or aggrecanase activity, particularly pathological conditions.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for monitoring activity of a user on a network component, such as an end user computer, in a virtual private network for adherence to a security enforcement provision or policy utilized in the virtual private network. A method of determining whether a security provision in a computer network has been violated is described. It is determined whether the network component has violated, modified or circumvented a security enforcement provision of the computer network. If the detection is affirmative, the network component, such as an end user system, is modified in a manner in which the computer network operates at a level appropriate to the degree of the violation, modification, or circumvention of the security enforcement provision. If instructed to do so, a third party operating the virtual private network is notified of the violation and access to the network by the network component is restricted or terminated.

Abstract: This invention is directed to proteinase (protease) inhibitors, and more particularly to thiol sulfonamide inhibitors for matrix metalloproteinase 13(MMP-13), compositions of proteinase inhibitors, intermediates for the syntheses of proteinase inhibitors, processes for the preparation of proteinase inhibitors and processes for treating pathological conditions associated with pathological matrix metalloproteinase activity related to MMP-13.

Abstract: This invention is directed generally to proteinase (also known as “protease”) inhibitors, and, more particularly, to piperidinyl- and piperazinyl-sulfonylmethyl hydroxamic acids that, inter alia, inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (also known as “matrix metalloprotease” or “MMP”) activity and/or aggrecanase activity. Such hydroxamic acids generally correspond in structure to the following formula: (wherein A1, A2, Y, E1, E2, E3, and Rx are as defined in this specification), and further include salts of such compounds. This invention also is directed to compositions of such hydroxamic acids, intermediates for the syntheses of such hydroxamic acids, methods for making such hydroxamic acids, and methods for treating conditions (particularly pathological conditions) associated with MMP activity and/or aggrecanase activity.

Abstract: A method of folding an inflatable restraint cushion for storage in a support housing which is mountable to the lower portion of the instrument panel of a vehicle. The method involves forming pleats in the cushion in a manner that, during initial deployment, the cushion mass acting on an occupant located in the proximity of the instrument panel is reduced.
