  • Publication number: 20090300365
    Abstract: A method and system are provided to authenticate a software stored on a computing device such as vehicle diagnostic tool. The system generates and stores encrypted information such as a memory media and the media access control address of the vehicle diagnostic tool. The encrypted information can be sent to an authentication server which returns encrypted authentication information that is used to validate the software for a period of time.

  • Patent number: 4408637
    Abstract: A double layer forming fabric for use in a paper-making machine has a warp ratio of at least six strands and a shute ratio of at least twelve strands. The warp strands bind with the lower layer at locations distributed according to a satin weave pattern whose ratio is equal to the warp ratio; the warp strands bind with the upper layer at locations distributed according to a pattern whose aggregated ratio is equal to the warp ratio and which is constituted by the association of several weave patterns each having a warp ratio lower to 6 strands. There are at least two shute strands of the upper layer between two successive points where a warp strand comes down from the paper contacting face across the upper layer and then comes up again, respectively.

  • Patent number: 4333502
    Abstract: An endless forming fabric for paper-making machine comprise at least two layers of transverse threads and one layer of longitudinal threads. The upper loops formed by the longitudinal threads cover from 3 to 7 transverse threads of the upper layer. The leading crossing points of these upper loops with the transverse threads are distributed in a weave pattern using at least five longitudinal threads. The weave pattern on the paper side of the fabric is selected so as to avoid alignment of the upper loops of adjacent threads and diagonal effects. The lower loops formed by the longitudinal threads, on the machine side of the fabric, pass each time only underneath a single transverse thread of the lower layer. The outer loops are so located that there is no gap in the longitudinal direction between each individual said outer loop of each said longitudinal thread and outer loops of the adjacent longitudinal threads.
