Abstract: A stabilizer system facilitates assembly of portable toilets at any location without need for attachment of the portable toilet to rigid stationary. Two square or rectangular tubular runners, permanently attached to the portable toilet, provide structural stability. The two runners have apertures of substantially equal size. A master stake having an aperture at its proximal end is pounded into the ground so that the aperture extends above ground. A control arm is inserted through apertures of the two runners and the master stake aperture, such that the master stake aperture is set between the two runner apertures. The fulcrum denial feature provided by the master stake and control arm enhance structural stability of the unit. The portable toilet is secured to the ground without front to back or side-to-side movement or tipping due to denial of leverage caused by the incorporation of the master stake and control arm.

Abstract: A variable displacement seating assembly incorporates at least first and second pivotable seat frames. The first seat frame includes a male seat connector. The second seat frame is arranged adjacent the first seat frame, and includes a female seat connector receiving the male seat connector of the first seat frame. The first and second seat frames are operatively interconnected for simultaneous pivoting movement between a stowed position and a deployed position. In the deployed position of the first and second seat frames, the male and female seat connectors are disposed for sliding vertical movement of one seat connector relative to the other, such that the first and second seat frames are independently vertically displaceable upon an impact force acting against the seat assembly.

Abstract: A method for protecting digital media content from unauthorised use on a client, is described. The method comprising the steps of receiving from a server on the client a list of processes, instructions, activity descriptions or data types that must not be active simultaneously with playback of the digital media content (“the blacklist”). The method further comprising checking, on the client, for the presence of any items on the list; and continuing interaction with the server, key management and playback of protected content only if no items on the list are detected on the client. A system is also described.

Abstract: The present invention provides a stack assembly comprising at least one semiconductor device 2a-2d, preferably having an open construction, interspersed between heatsinks 20a-20e and adapted to be at least partially immersed in a liquid dielectric coolant. The open construction means that the at least one semiconductor device 2a-2d will be immersed and flooded in the liquid dielectric coolant. In other words, any spaces or gaps between the various component parts of the at least one semiconductor device 2a-2d will be filled with the liquid dielectric coolant to provide a suitable dielectric environment.

Abstract: Context-based network security is provided for streamlined access control over a computer network and components on the computer network. More particularly, methods, instructions on computer-readable media and systems are provided for collecting network context information about a client computer system connecting to the computer network, making the network context information available to various components on the computer network, and using the network context information to control the client computer system's (or a client application executing thereon) access to one or more network resources.

Abstract: The armoured garment has an outer shell usually with sleeves and a lining. A front fastening, conveniently a sliding clasp fastening, is provided between the two front edges of the shell. The lining has three openings to pouches extending between itself and the shell. Openings are provided close to the front fastening and parallel to it. Each lining opening gives access to a respective large pocket or pouch. The pouches are of lining material and are stitched to the lining at the fastenings and as detailed below. Inserted in the pouches are respective sheets of armour. A belt, having an elasticated rear, central portion and front portions ending in a buckle, passes out through lining slots and around the pouches and the armour for drawing the latter tight around the body of the user, without constricting the outer shell.

Abstract: An expression cassette for expressing a nucleic acid of interest derived from the regulatory region of the methylenomycin gene cluster of the SCP1 plasmid of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), and related materials and methods.

Abstract: An stabilizer system for a temporary building such as a portable toilet. The stabilizer system has a U-shaped anchor the legs of which are attachably securable to members on the base of the building by means of an elongate rod. The U-shaped anchor extends from a sidewall of the building and at the time of installation may be placed about a permanent upright member such as a utility pole or may be ground staked via holes in the member provided for this purpose.

Abstract: A system and method for rapid subtitling and for alignment of various types of data sequences is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes an input module adapted to receive parameter values from a user, a computer readable memory adapted to store the parameters in a manner so that the stored parameters relate at least one event to at least one data sequence, and an analysis module adapted to extract at least one feature from the data sequence and to adjust the parameters based on the at least one feature extracted from the data sequence. In an alternate embodiment, the system treats user-supplied times as a priori data and adjusts those times using extracted features from concurrent and previously-analyzed data streams.

Abstract: A video imaging system includes a master video camera for producing video images of a moving object of interest, a plurality of additional video cameras each positioned at a different location for producing additional video images of the object of interest from different spatial perspectives, and a control system for controlling the additional video cameras to track the object of interest imaged by the master video camera. The system generates video images using a method comprising the steps of producing a master video image of a moving object of interest, producing additional video images of the object of interest from different spatial perspectives, and controlling size of the object of interest in the additional video images in response to the size of the object of interest in the master video image.

Abstract: A key or licence management system for the secure online distribution of digitized audio-visual works (“media”) using encryption techniques. Encrypted media is stored on a media server while the encryption keys are stored on a media key server. Users acquire rights from online retailers to obtain from the media key server keys corresponding to the media they wish to play. The key server encrypts keys before releasing them, preferably with the user's public key using a public key encryption algorithm. Keys are stored in volatile memory at the user's client device and thus the user is in receipt of the key just in time to play the media.

Abstract: A golf practice aid suitable for use with, and adapted to be struck by a golf club having a strike face. The practice aid including a simulated golf ball with a flexible deformable core surrounded by an energy absorbing outer cover with an adhesive retention means attached thereto. The adhesive retention means in use, releasably adhering to a complementary adhesive retention means attached to the strike face when struck by the club. The arrangement of the core and cover and the properties associated with each are such that the simulated golf ball when struck by the club produces a sound similar to an actual golf ball and absorbs energy imparted to the ball upon impact so as to ensure adherence of the ball to the strike face of the club.
