Abstract: A method for configuring an automated in-circuit test debugger is presented. The novel test debug and optimization configuration technique configures expert knowledge into a knowledge framework for use by an automated test debug and optimization system for automating the formulation of a valid stable in-circuit test for execution on an integrated circuit tester. In a system that includes a rule-based controller for controlling interaction between the test-head controller of an integrated circuit tester and an automated debug system, the invention includes a knowledge framework and a rule-based editor. The knowledge framework stores test knowledge in the representation of rules that represent a debugging strategy. The rule-based editor facilitates the use of rules as knowledge to debug or optimize an in-circuit test that is to be executed on the integrated circuit tester.

Abstract: Encrypted email message structures can contain recipient information that can reveal, to any recipient, all of the other recipients of an email message. Because some recipients, such as recipients to whom the message was “blind carbon-copied”, should remain hidden from the other recipients, individual encrypted messages can be created. One encrypted message can be created for all of the recipients who are intended to be revealed, such as the recipients listed in the TO and CC fields of an email header. A second encrypted message can be created for all of the recipients of the message who are intended to be hidden, such as the recipient listed in the BCC field of an email header. Alternatively, multiple encrypted messages can be created individually for each recipient in the BCC field, if the BCC recipients are to be hidden even from other BCC recipients.

The illumination means includes a light source component for illumination, an electrical switch component to control the light source, supporting circuitry components to energize the light source, and a housing structure for supporting and enclosing the components, directing the illumination to the label, and coupling the illumination device to a medicine container receptacle or a conventional medicine container cap.

Abstract: The principles of the present invention provide for delegating certificate validation. A client computer system sends a certificate validation request to a server computer system over a trusted link. The certificate validation request includes at least enough certificate information for a certificate authority to identify a digital certificate that binds a sending entity to a private key. The server computer system checks a validation path to determine if the digital certificate is valid and at least one certificate revocation list to determine if the certificate has been compromised. The server computer system sends a certificate status indication to the client computer system over the trusted link. Accordingly, the resources of the server computer system, instead of the client computer system, are utilized to validate a digital certificate. Further, digital certificate validation can be delegated to a server computer system that attempts to pre-validate a digital certificate.

Abstract: A flow distributor for mounting in an inlet of a heat exchanger includes a nose cone and one or more diverting rings. The nose cone is aerodynamically shaped to divert impingent gas flow around the nose cone. A first diverting ring is spaced outwardly from the nose cone and can be oriented such that at least a portion of the gas flow diverted by the nose cone is redirected into the wake of the nose cone. A second diverting ring can be spaced outwardly from the first diverting ring and can be oriented to divert gas flow impingent thereon. Struts connect the nose cone and one or more rings. Refractory on the wall of the inlet is shaped to reduce the recirculation at the outer perimeter thereof. The flow distributor is installed in the inlet with refractory to achieve substantially equal flow across the tube sheet of the heat exchanger.

Abstract: Concurrent recipient resolution and certificate acquisition. If a client-entered input data may be resolved without further client input, the server resolves the input data into a recipient entry that has an associated routing address. The server then transmits a response to the client that includes the associated full display name, routing address and certificate. If the server determines that the recipient entry cannot be resolved without further input from the client, the server identifies a number of possible recipient entries, and for each possible recipient generates a token, which is then communicated to the client. The server receives a subsequent request from the client identifying a selected one of the possible associated recipients using the associated token. The server then acquires a certificate associated with the selected recipient using the token, and then sends the certificate to the client.

Abstract: A certificate-based encryption mechanism in which a source client does not access the entire certificate corresponding to a destination client when encrypting an electronic message to be sent to the destination client. Instead, the source client only requests a portion of the certificate from a certificate server. That portion includes encryption information, but may lack some or even all of the self-verification information in the certificate. The certificate server preferably performs any validation of the certificate prior to sending the encryption information to the source client. The certificate need not be separately validated by the source client, especially if the certificate server is trusted by the source client.

Abstract: A hydraulic flow return system of a transmission pump in which primary and bypass flows of hydraulic fluid are returned to primary and bypass flow channels, respectively, of a booster nozzle situated adjacent the rotating group at the inlet of the pump for delivery a boosted flow of high pressure fluid to the pump as a result of the incoming bypass flow being passed through a flow restrictor before being recombined with the primary flow, the system is improved by incorporating a bypass valve which senses the back pressure in the incoming bypass flow and operates to open an auxiliary bypass channel in the event that the back pressure exceeds a predetermined control value in order to divert a fraction of the bypass flow around the flow restrictor for delivery to the pump until such time as the back pressure falls below the control value.

Abstract: The Fiorello Insert is made of a material similar to cratex rubber, and will be used to deburr machined parts while still in the machining cycle. It can also be used to open a bored hole a few tenths of a part or to take off a few tenths of the outside dimension of a part without changing it's contour or shape. It can also be used on reworked parts. The softness and slight abrasiveness of the insert is the key. It's not hard like the inserts used to cut, turn, or shape metal. It's more flexible like a piece of rubberized sandpaper being held in your hand that only follows the shape of the material being worked on. This insert will be made to the size and shapes of most standard inserts on the market now, thus eliminating costly tooling needed to be purchased to run this splendid insert. Its shape will be similar to the inserts being used now. Under certain conditions using the smaller Fiorello Inserts, a washer may be used for additional reinforcement when attaching the Fiorello Insert to the tool holder.
