Abstract: A firewall receives a flow of data from a first computing resource destined to a second computing resource and searches, in a memory, a prefix tree data structure, the prefix data structure comprising a linked plurality of nodes corresponding to normalized criteria for each of a plurality of rules, for any rule in the plurality of rules that applies to controlling the received flow of data between the first computing resource and the second computing resource. If the search is successful, a set of rules in the prefix tree data structure is identified that apply to controlling the received flow of data from the first computing resource to the second computing resource in response to the searching. One of those rules in the set is then selected to control the received flow of data from the first computing resource to the second computing resource.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a holding device for attachment to the ear of a user, wherein a flexible connecting element arranged between an end piece and a terminal holder ensures that, even when subjected to relatively pronounced loads caused by external effects, such as for example a change in position of the head, the holding device is securely held on the ear without exerting unpleasant pressure on individual anatomical structures of the ear. By virtue of a flexible basic structure, the holding device according to the invention enables use on both ears of a user, without the holding device having to be adapted individually to each ear by a change in structure. In addition, a box suitable for storing the holding device ensures safe storage of the holding device when not in use, serves to keep the holding device ready for immediate use, and prevents deformation of the holding device caused by improper storage.

Abstract: A tonneau cover can be foldable between an extended configuration and a folded configuration. In the extended configuration, the primary panel plane of each of the plurality panels can all be substantially coplanar with each other and with a first plane. In the folded configuration, the plurality of panels can all be substantially aligned to form a stack of the plurality of panels, wherein the stack is disposed above the cargo box. The forward panel can be pivotable between a raised configuration corresponding to the folded configuration and a storage configuration. In the storage configuration, the primary plane of the forward panel can be in a second plane that is substantially orthogonal to the first plane to dispose the stack within the cargo box.

Abstract: A device and method for the protection of individuals in a room having an outward swinging door is presented. The device includes a central chamber for the surrounding of a door handle, a first flange for extension from the central chamber and contacting the door, and a second flange for extension from the central chamber and contacting the door frame. The two flanges are relatively parallel and create a binding force around the handle as the door is opened, such that the door is prevented from opening. An optional slot is included to accommodate handles with levers. In operation, the device is lowered over the handle and held in place by gravity. It symmetric design allows it to function with both left handed and right handed opening outward doors.

Abstract: A cover includes multiple panels pivotally connected together and foldable between a stacked arrangement and a deployed arrangement. Side rails are attachable to opposite sides of the cargo box and include ledges. Storage extension guides intersects the ledges. The panels are supportable upon the ledges in the deployed arrangement to cover the cargo box. The stack is supportable upon the first and second ledges in an intermediate position adjacent the storage extension guides. The stack is movable along the guides between the intermediate position and a storage position in which the forward edge of the lowermost panel is oriented below the rear edge of the lowermost panel.

Abstract: A latch assembly for securing a gate or other pivotal structure that includes a pair of independently retractable outwardly biased latch members carried by a latch carriage. When in an extended position, the latch members define a striker retention slot. Cooperation of the latch members in the extended position provides for retention of a striker member in the striker retention slot. The latch members are supported by rods that pass through the latch carriage.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a removable gate for defining storage areas in a transport trailer. The removable gate includes a first elongated housing, a second elongated housing and a pair of supports. Each elongated housing carries a pair of outwardly biased retractable members. When in the extended position the retractable members engage supports thereby securing the gate in a desired position. Retracting the members permits removal and repositioning of the gate. The removable gate is pivotal about the first elongated housing upon retraction of the second pair of retractable members, and pivotal about the second elongated housing upon retraction of the first pair of retractable members.
