Abstract: A method and system for creating a composite security rating from security characterization data of a third party computer system. The security characterization data is derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system. Advantageously, the composite security score has a relatively high likelihood of corresponding to an internal audit score despite use of externally observable security characteristics. Also, the method and system may include use of multiple security characterizations all solely derived from externally observable characteristics of the third party computer system.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing delivery of power to an electrical outlet to provide safety and security for emission of current from the outlet. The modified outlet is an addressable outlet in communication with a manager for authenticating receipt of a valid appliance, and for limiting delivery of power to the outlet in response to the authentication.

Abstract: The present invention comprises an input drive system, which provides a plurality of phases of oscillating fluid flow, and an output drive system connected directly to the input drive system that is powered by the plurality of phases of oscillating fluid flow. The input drive system comprises a plurality of pistons that are caused to move in a reciprocating fashion by a power source. The power source may be a rotating power source, such as that provided by an electric motor, a diesel or petrol engine, or a turbine system. The input drive system comprises a cam ring attached to a rotating power source; a plurality of cam rollers in contact with the cam ring; and a plurality of pistons attached to the cam rings. The output drive system comprises one or more pistons that are caused to move in a reciprocating fashion by the oscillating fluid flow provided by the input drive system.

Abstract: A body garment for outdoor use by cyclists and others constructed of a breathable material such as nylon having abrasion resistance, high tear strength and a denier over 500. The garment has a removable liner constructed of material which is breathable/windproof/waterproof.

Abstract: A sheet metal plug for holes in sheet metal boxes, such as conduit holes in electrical junction boxes, includes a circular plug disc having a groove formed along a chord thereon. The plug disc is bent along the groove such that a portion of the disc is angularly displaced from the plane of the remainder thereof. A number of tabs, carried on the undersurface of the disc, are arranged to engage the edge of the hole when the plug is inserted into the hole. One of the tabs is positioned on the angularly displaced portion of the disc such that the disc is initially insertable into the hole, after which the displaced portion is straightened to bring each tab into secure engagement with the sheet metal which is being plugged. The thickness of the disc is substantially reduced along at least a portion of the groove such that its resistance to bending is substantially reduced therealong. A land or area of increased thickness bridges the groove to strengthen the disc at the groove.
