Abstract: A part for a centrifugal breather for an air/oil mixture of a turbomachine is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of symmetry. The breather forms an annular chamber for centrifugal separation of said mixture. The chamber includes mesh structure that takes up at least one space in a duct which closes communication between an axial inlet and an internal radial outlet. The mesh structure is formed by the spatial repetition of the material or of the space of a single pattern produced by the interconnection of simple shapes. The pattern is designed such that the spaces between the materials paths passing through the materials in at least three dimensions of space forming a trihedron.

Abstract: A retained roller set includes first and second individual tube-shaped members each having first and second axially spaced rings connected by bar elements that define pockets therebetween, the tube-shaped members being coaxially arranged and radially spaced to define a circumferentially extending intermediate space therebetween in which a plurality of roller elements are received and retained by the pockets of the first and second tube-shaped members.

Abstract: A method of metadata management is provided. Metadata associated with information objects is important in the management and classification of electronic information referred to as information objects. A metadata schema structure definition is defined enabling a metadata schema to be applied to the information objects to ensure consistent creation and management of hierarchical metadata across and organization and interoperability between different metadata schemas.

Abstract: A method and system for generating trusted security labels in electronic documents is disclosed. The method comprises determining parts of the document to be cryptographically bound to the security label and hashing them; hashing the security label; specifying any necessary policies as signable signature properties; and digitally signing the collection of these items. The resulting security label is trusted, because it is digitally signed and its digital signature also covers the parts of the document to be protected, thus allowing any tampering of the security label or the covered parts of the document to be detectable. A corresponding system for generating trusted security labels is also provided.

Abstract: A method and system for performing transactions between a client and a server. The client sends to the server a transaction request for performing a transaction, and receives from the server a transaction policy. The client displays a first representation of the transaction policy depicting transaction policy options for fulfilling the transaction policy. After the user selects a first transaction policy option, the client displays a second representation of the transaction policy, depicting at least one mechanism pertaining to the first transaction policy option for satisfying the requirements of the first transaction policy option. After the user selects a first mechanism, the client depicts evidence options for each requirement of the first transaction policy option. After the user selects an evidence option for each requirement of the first transaction policy option, the client sends to the server transaction enablement information that includes evidence dictated by the selected evidence options.

Abstract: A decorative lighting string including blinking or twinkling lights spaced apart by at least three feet and preferably approximately six feet on a light string will create the effect of twinkling starlight or flickering firelight when used as part of a decorative scheme, such as Christmas decorations. This decorative lighting display is especially suited for outdoor use and can be effectively used in deciduous trees after they have lost their leaves. Twinkling lights that emit an illuminate of at least 40 lumens are especially suited for outdoor use. A random, irregular lighting pattern in which the lights do not appear to be connected by a light string provides the illusion of twinkling lights suspended in mid-air in a dark or darkening sky.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically rendering a game file to an audio/video file format to allow the action recorded in the game file to be viewed without requiring the corresponding game and game system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for attesting the configuration of a computing platform to a verifier. A signature key (SK) is bound to the platform and bound to a defined configuration of the platform. A credential (C(SK), CDAA(SK)) for the signature key (SK) is obtained from an evaluator. This credential (C(SK), CDAA(SK)) certifies that the signature key (SK) is bound to an unspecified trusted platform configuration. The platform can then demonstrate to the verifier the ability to sign a challenge from the verifier using the signature key (SK), and demonstrate possession of the credential (C(SK), CDAA(SK)) to the verifier, thereby attesting that the platform has a trusted configuration without disclosing the platform configuration to the verifier.

Abstract: A method for forming a complex of a protein-containing material and a lipid-based material comprises the steps of admixing said protein-containing material into said lipid material, applying heat and a shear force to said admixture to form an emulsion of protein material in said lipid material, and cooling said admixture to form a lipid-protein complex. Optionally, a liquid grinding step also may be used. The complex comprises at least about 10-50 net weight % protein, preferably no more than about 1% of an emulsifier, and an amount of a lipid-containing material sufficient to form an emulsion with the protein containing material. It is believed that higher proportions of protein could be obtained in the emulsion with high capacity pumps and shear apparatus. The complex can be used as a coating composition for a food product, or as an ingredient in a coating composition for a food product, or as an ingredient in a food article.

Abstract: A stackable buoy can be mounted on a U-shaped mounting bracket that can in turn be attached to a panel, such as the inner surface of a boat hull. The buoy includes protrusions molded as part of parallel channels, which receive the two legs of the bracket. Multiple buoys can be stacked one of top of the other. Pockets on each side of the H-shaped buoy are provided for mounting commercially available light sticks.

Abstract: A novel oil composition comprises an interesterified structured lipid component, the component being an interesterifcation reaction product of an amount of a medium chain triglyceride, an amount of a long chain domestic oil, and an amount of a conjugated linoleic acid material. The structured lipid component can be used in edible oil compositions.
