  • Publication number: 20180288126
    Abstract: A network monitoring device and methods for monitoring data streams in an IP surveillance network. A capture filter of the device captures data packets from a data stream between first and second end-points of an IP surveillance network. A packet parser of the device parses packets captured by the capture filter to obtain packet information. A stream model of the device creates and stores stream records corresponding to data streams and either matches the packet information to a stream record listed in the stream model, or, if no match is found, to initialises a new stream record for the captured packet. A monitor of the device applies one or more rules to the captured packets and executes one or more actions based on the application of the one or more rules.

  • Patent number: 9679669
    Abstract: A method for preparing low level radioactive hazardous wastes (LLHZ) for disposal in a landfill. The method includes providing a softsided transportable container at a hazardous debris collection site, where the softsided container has at least three layers of materials, an outer, middle and an inner layer, where the middle layer is a water impervious material. Each layer has a closable opening located on the top of the softsided layer. Hardsided closed containers containing LLHZ located in the interior of the hard container are loaded into the interior of the softsided container. Each layer of the softsided container is then closed, and the package transported and shipped to a disposal site for burial.

  • Patent number: 8640865
    Abstract: A closure attachable over the opening of a container that selectively facilitates mixing of a component (e.g., supplement, vitamins, etc.) of any appropriate form (e.g., powders, flakes, liquids) with a liquid in the container to create a mixture. In one aspect, the closure includes a body, a storage compartment within the body, a nozzle movably received on the annular wall, a cap receivable over a portion of the body and the nozzle, an annular pull strip surrounding the body and spacing the first end of the cap from an outer collar of the body, and a plunger disposed within the storage compartment that is adapted to selectively break a seal to allow for mixing between the component and the liquid.

  • Publication number: 20070215367
    Abstract: A edge for attaching to a moldboard, having a rearwardly protruding trailing wear plate is disclosed. This device can be manufactured as one piece incorporating the standard edge and additional trailing wear plate or can be in the form of a bolt-on trailing wear plate that would become a component of a standard moldboard edge. The edge is applicable to motor graders, snowploughs or any other machine or attachment that performs similar functions. The trailing wear plate prolongs edge life, reduces grader bounce, enhances grader stability, reduces operator fatigue, allows greater moldboard control, enables greater grading speed and when these factors are combined offer substantial increased efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20070190114
    Abstract: Compositions and methods related to combining antioxidant-promoting agents and breath masking agents in a single oral delivering formulation are provided. The composition includes a blend of antioxidants directed to reducing oxidative stress associated with smoking and exposure to other environmental toxins. The active ingredients of the oral composition are in a form that remains unaltered as the active ingredients are rapidly absorbed through the oral mucosa directly into systemic circulation.

  • Publication number: 20070068691
    Abstract: A motor grader has an ordinary direction of travel, has a forward end and a rearward end as defined by the ordinary direction of travel, and has two opposed sides. At least one set of front wheels is steerably mounted on the opposed sides of the motor grader adjacent the forward end, with one front wheel in each set mounted on each opposed side of the motor grader. At least one front wheel in each set of front wheels is movably mounted to the motor grader and can be selectively positioned such that each front wheel on one side of the motor grader is further away from the rearward end than the other front wheel in that set.
