Abstract: An Integrated Security Administrator (ISA) for managing an Informational Network (IN) includes a plurality of monitoring agents, wherein at least one of the plurality of monitoring agents is configured to obtain a plurality of events from a plurality of monitored elements, reduce the plurality of events to obtain a reduced plurality of events, select an event from the reduced plurality of events, characterize the event using stored knowledge, and respond to the event at a response level, and a core system configured to update data and instructions stored on the at least one of the plurality of monitoring agents.

Abstract: A shoe of the type that includes an upper, an external sole, and a lining at least partially elastic arranged inside of the shoe. The elastic lining defines, at rest, a volume that corresponds at least to that of the largest foot adapted to be received in the shoe, and includes an arrangement for adjusting its volume to adapt it to the real volume of the foot placed inside the shoe. Advantageously, the volume adjustment arrangement is constituted by a double row of guides facing one another in a limited area of the elastic lining and spaced apart by a value corresponding substantially to the maximum difference in the volume of the foot, and by a lace passing through the guides and associated with a traction and blocking device for the lace.

Abstract: A sport boot having an external upper for protection against external damage, an assembly insole and an outer sole, and comprising an internal tightening system comprising two tightening quarters each having a lower end and being attached to said external upper only by that lower end. Internal lacing is arranged in the instep area. The external upper has a closed structure and with an opening only at its upper end and comprises external lacing for tightening the upper on the foot. The internal tightening system is substantially independent of the upper, a tongue element being provided beneath, but without physical connection to, the internal tightening system, and being attached to the upper at the front end of the boot and at a distance from the internal tightening quarters, so as to enable the tongue element to act as a lever for loosening the internal lacing.

Abstract: A shoe of the type constituted of an upper, an external sole, and a lining at least partially elastic arranged within the shoe. The elastic lining defines, at rest, a volume at least equal to that of the largest volume of the foot adapted to be received in the shoe, and includes an arrangement for adjusting its volume in view of an adaptation thereof to the real volume of the foot placed inside the shoe. Advantageously, the volume adjustment arrangement is constituted by a double row of guides facing one another in a limited area of the elastic lining and spaced apart by a value corresponding substantially to the maximum difference in the volume of the foot, and by a loop through lace passing through the guides and associated with a traction and blocking device for the lace.

Abstract: A cross-countery ski boot comprising, at least in the area of the instep, an internal tightening device (17,18) for clamping the foot of the user, and a covering and closing upper (10) which envelops the entire foot and covers the internal tightening device. The internal tightening device (17, 18) is so conceived that is presses the uer's foot against the inner side (10a) of the boot, this inner side (10a) being preferably fitted with a reinforcing piece (11) at least in the area of the internal tightening device (17, 18) against which the foot is pressed.

Abstract: A slide fastener for a sport shoe in which the slide fastener is mounted on the upper anterior part of the upper of the shoe and extends in an inclined direction from the metatarso-phalangeal articulation area of the big toe towards the area of the opposite malleolus. In this way, deformations of the slide fastener caused by flexing of the shoe are eliminated. The slide fastener may also be reversely mounted to the interior of the upper to protect the slide fastener from snow, frost, and dirt. The shoe may be a cross-country skiing shoe.

Abstract: A flexible-type sport shoe, such as a golf or cross country ski shoe, comprising on the inside three flexible ties (16, 17, 18) to secure the user's foot. One (18) of the ties has two ends (19 and 20) connecting it to the sole (2) of the shoe (1) behind the level of the metatarsal and in front of the level of the calcaneum, respectively on both sides of the shoe, and comprises a section (29) to bypass the foot by the rear between the lower level of the lower attachment of the Achilles tendon to the calcaneum and the lower level of the malleoli. The two other ties (16, 17) have an end connected to the sole of the shoe, respectively on both sides thereof, crossing above the instep, and are deviated by respective guides held by the first tie (18), to present complementary sections (45, 46) to bypass the instepby the frontwhentheyarefastened together, and thus ensure a securing of the foot to the sole (1) when the three ties (16, 17 18) are tightened.

Abstract: A sport boot, intended especially for cross country skiing, essentially flexible, has a front area (16) of the shaft (9) which is continuous and completely closed, with respect to which slits (19, 21) are offset, allowing the opening and closing of the shaft (9) so that the boot can be put on and taken off. On the inside of the boot (1) is attached, along a lateral area (33) of the sole, an end (32) of a strap (31) which bypasses the foot at the level of the metatarsals, then issues from the boot through a slit (40) placed in an area (27) located between the front area (16) of the shaft (9) and the slits (19, 21) to bypass the ankle joint between the lower level of the lower attachment of the Achilles tendon to the calcaneum and the lower level of the malleoli, overlapping the slits until it cooperates with means (41) for the tightening of the strap (31). The strap (31) ensures both placement of the foot flush against the sole (2) inside the boot, and closing of the shaft (9) with clamping of the ankle joint.
