  • Publication number: 20180205704
    Abstract: A web filter system is presented that not blocks harmful web content and provides an instantaneous message to an accountability partner of the user seeking to access harmful internet content so they can intervene. The system includes a web filter software application that is installed on the internet enabled devices of a user. The application inspects all traffic and communicates with an API to determine whether to allow, block, or redirect either specific traffic or all traffic through a transport mechanism to a filter in the cloud for further filtering, regardless of how the internet enabled device connects to the internet. The system also includes a router that establishes a home electronic network that inspects all internet traffic that occurs through the router and communicates with an API to determine whether to allow, block, or redirect traffic through a transport mechanism to a filter in the cloud.

  • Publication number: 20120175803
    Abstract: An apparatus for testing of medical products such as a feminine hygiene product, is presented. The apparatus includes a body, a pump and a vaginal canal assembly. The body includes an internal chamber and a bottom surface having a bore open to the internal chamber. The pump provides a fluid to the body. In one embodiment, the fluid is a menses simulant. The vaginal canal assembly includes an interior canal accepting the product. The vaginal canal assembly includes a passage providing the fluid to the interior canal. The apparatus includes a pressure regulator controlling pressure exerted on the vaginal canal assembly from a volume of air within the internal chamber. The apparatus includes a stand. The stand includes a retaining device and a locking device. The locking device cooperates with the retaining device to selectively secure the body in at least one of a rotational position and an angular position.
