Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a method and system for customers with an account associated with a financial entity to access their accounts and stay on top of one or more financial markets. In accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure, customers can review balances, and review holdings. Customers also can stay on top of trades and transactions while still being mobile, e.g., on the go utilizing a handheld computing device. Customers may utilize one or more aspects of the present disclosure to review research reports as well as third-party ratings for potential financial transactions. Customers may receive up-to-the-minute news on one or more financial markets, including real-time quotes, in addition to the ability to see only those research reports, third-party ratings, news on financial markets, and/or particular assets, that the customer has customized to see.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of a wireless access point. Embodiments can include establishing a master pre-shared key associated with a wireless network, obtaining a request to establish a connection to the wireless network with a client device and generating a revocable key for the client device that is different from the pre-shared key.

Abstract: The present invention foregoes use of PVC in printable media and instead provides a lightweight recyclable display media comprised generally of a printable coated scrim. The display media includes a base layer or scrim comprised of a polymer material and formed by woven, non-woven, or knit sheet-forming techniques. A non-vinyl body coating is applied to the base layer to add stiffness, body, and printability to the media. The body layer is comprised, at least partially, of urethane, acrylic, or blended urethane/acrylic materials. These materials add body and durability to the base layer without presenting the environmental difficulties attributable to PVC. The non-vinyl body coating may further comprise ink receptive materials or fillers that enhance ink retention in the media. The display media may be printed through a variety of printing techniques known in the art.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for providing DMA transfers between an adapter card with or with out DMA capabilities and a system CPU with DMA capabilities. An adapter DMA controller circuit resides between the system CPU and the adapter card. This adapter DMA controller allows the system to run in immediate mode which allows the system CPU to talk to the adapter card as if the adapter DMA controller was not there. The system can also run in DMA mode. In this mode the system CPU sets up the system DMA controller and the adapter DMA controller. The adapter DMA controller takes over sending or receiving data to the adapter card and then requesting a DMA transfer with the system DMA controller. The transfer of data between the adapter DMA controller and the adapter does not use any system CPU resources such as the data and address busses. The system CPU is free to use the system resources to continue operation.

Abstract: A sensor detects skewed adjacent movable components. The sensor may be used to detect harmful skews of aircraft control surfaces, such as slats or flaps on aircraft wings, which may be caused by an actuator disconnection from the surface it drives. Harmful skew, which is a relative asymmetrical motion of control surfaces beyond a predetermined limit, is detected by the sensor, but the relatively smaller harmless skew caused by normal flight is ignored. The sensor comprises first and second arms connected to a common base that may be attached to a first control surface. A constraining means such as a mechanical fuse holds the arms together while a separating means such as a spring exerts a separating force on the arms when the fuse breaks. A switching means is integral to the two arms. A striker pin on a second control surface strikes the first or second sensor arm when the relative motion between the control surfaces exceeds a certain predetermined limit.
