  • Publication number: 20140337618
    Abstract: A system and method for validating SCEP certificate enrollment that enforces the pairing of a SCEP challenge password and a set of expected certificate request content. A SCEP Validation Service or software residing in another system component whether a certificate request is legitimate by comparing it to registered SCEP challenges and associated expected certificate request content. This system and method addresses a privilege-escalation vulnerability in prior SCEP-based systems that could lead to a practical attack.

  • Patent number: 5593186
    Abstract: A coupling for engagement with the outer surface of a polymeric pipe, having a sub-assembly of a compression sleeve (24), a resilient gasket ring (18) permanently attached to the inner end of the compression sleeve (24), a gripping member (25), and a nut (30). The gasket ring (18) encounters an abutment in a socket (17) in the body (12) as the nut (30) is tightened, and further tightening of the nut (30) radially compresses the gripping member (25) so that its inwardly directed barbed projections (26) engage the outer surface of a pipe (11) to which the coupling is attached. The end of pipe (11) is freely insertable through the gripping member (25) and sleeve (24), and into the socket (17) in the body (12). There are also provided abutment surfaces within the body coupling and the nut which abut inner and outer surfaces (34, 35) of a flange outstanding from the outer end of the compression sleeve (24).

  • Patent number: 5360131
    Abstract: A cover height adjuster which can be used for a boundary box, a manhole cover, etc. in a paved location having two rings with interengaging sloping castellated end surfaces extending around the peripheries of at least three sectors of the rings and can vary the height of the upper ring upon its rotation over the lower ring. The upper surface of the upper ring may have a slope which engages a sloping surface of a cover assembly, so that relative rotation can also vary the slope of the cover.

  • Patent number: 5303583
    Abstract: A meter boundary box comprises an outer casing which is upstanding from a base, the outer casing containing a tubular housing with a lid thereon, the lid engaging the housing so that rotation of the lid effects rotation of the housing but arranged so that the lid can be lifted away from the housing, the housing containing a meter which is threadably engaged in a valve member, the valve member itself threadably engaging a manifold which incorporates the inlet and outlet conduits, the arrangement being such that by rotation of the lid, firstly the valve member can be closed and secondly the meter can be unscrewed from the valve member for easy removal.
