Abstract: A communication system for digital key pairing of a vehicle includes a network transceiver configured for communication via one or more networks with at least one secure server, and a controller. The controller is configured to pre-provision the vehicle with pairing password verifiers for digital key programming to support digital key programming when the vehicle is offline with the at least one secure server, and/or provide end-to-end secure communication between the controller and the at least one secure server by generating and utilizing (i) at least one timestamp, (ii) at least one unique vehicle ID, and (iii) at least one random number in messages communicated between the controller and the at least one secure server.

Abstract: A fabric comprising poly(vinyl alcohol) fibers, and a solvent, wherein the fabric is at least partially saturated with the solvent; a kit comprising a container, and a plurality of adjacent sheets disposed within the container, wherein the sheets comprise the fabric; a kit comprising a container; and a roll of the fabric disposed within the container; wherein the fabric comprises a width and a length, the lengthlwidth ratio is greater than 10:1, a series of perforations traverse the width of the fabric at evenly spaced intervals; and a method of using the fabric comprising contacting the fabric with the residue of a chemical or mechanical process.

Abstract: A method is provided for accessing files on a client node which is connected to a server node across a network channel. A first file is displayed on the client node, and context information indicative of this first document is stored. Rather than using a “hard” link which specifies a specific path/filename, a dynamic softlinking process is used to access a second file. A link, similar to a hyperlink, can be selected on the first displayed file to access a second file, where the link includes information indicative of the second file. To determine a file identifier for the second document, a data structure, having a plurality of file identifiers, is accessed using the context information and link information. The second file can then be retrieved from the server node via the network channel using the file identifer and displayed on the client node.
