Abstract: Each virtualized environment on a computer has its own set of firewall rules. The virtualized environments share a single instance of the operating system image, a filter engine and a single network stack. A virtualized environment may be a compartment or a server silo. A virtualized environment is a network isolation mechanism and may be used to prevent use of a computer to traverse network boundaries by creating a separate virtualized environment for each network, enabling a separate set of rules to be applied to each virtualized environment and the network interfaces within it. Virtualized environments may also be used to assign different trust levels to the same physical network. Firewall rules are applied by virtualized environment identifier (ID), enabling separate filters to be applied to each virtualized environment on a computer. A virtualized environment may include or be associated with one or more network interfaces.

Abstract: A liquid aroma injector for a spa having a reservoir comprising an upper chamber, a lower chamber, and a subchamber, a plunger assembly comprising a plunger button, a shaft, and an annular flanged gasket. The shaft extends through said upper and lower chamber of the reservoir. The liquid aroma injector further comprises a hose through which liquid aroma travels to the liquid aroma diffuser that releases liquid aroma into the water of a spa.

Abstract: The present invention provides a heat exchange system including, among other things, a radiator operable to remove heat from coolant, an air flow path extending through a first charge air cooler and a second charge air cooler, the first charge air cooler being operable to transfer heat from air to the coolant, the second charge air cooler being positioned downstream from the first charge air cooler along the air flow path to receive the air from the first charge air cooler and being operable to transfer heat from the air to the coolant, and a coolant circuit extending between a coolant pump, the radiator, and the first and second charge air coolers.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting operator alertness of an operator of a vehicle or machine comprises an image collection system. The image collection system collects reference motion data associated with an operator representation when the operator is in an alert state. An image processor determines observed motion data of one or more points of a three dimensional representation of the operator during a time interval. An analyzer sends an alert signal to alert the operator if a detected angular shift of one or more points of the representation exceed a displacement threshold.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting operator alertness of an operator of a vehicle or machine comprises an image processor and an analyzer. The image processor determines whether at least one eye of an operator is visible and determines whether the operator is generally facing forward with respect to the vehicle. The analyzer applies at least one of position analysis and motion analysis to a three dimensional representation of an operator to determine alertness of the operator if at least one eye of operator is not visible or If the operator is generally facing forward.

Abstract: A method and system for detecting operator alertness of an operator of a vehicle or machine comprises an image collection system. The image collection system collects reference position data and reference motion data associated with an operator, or a portion thereof, when the operator is in an alert state. An image, processor determines observed position data and observed motion data of one or more points of a three dimensional representation of the operator during a time interval. An analyzer sends an alert signal to alert the operator if a detected angular shift of one or more reference points of the representation exceeds at feast one of a displacement threshold and a motion threshold.

Abstract: An example trackable cart includes a body having an upper body portion defining an opening for loading and unloading items from the body and a lid for closing the opening of the body. The lid pivotably attaches to the body along a hinge axis. The trackable cart includes an identifier contained adjacent the hinge axis.

Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a blood sample and, more particularly, to methods of chemistry patterning reagent layers for multiple well biosensors. A first capillary is first configured to receive a dispensed reagent layer such that the reagent layer is distributed in a substantially uniform manner within the first capillary. The first capillary may also configured to isolate the first capillary from other capillaries present in the biosensor. After the reagent layer has been dispensed and dried, the first capillary may then be reconfigured to allow the first capillary to receive a blood sample.

Abstract: A method and system of managing recruitment data provides an online application process that prohibits submission of a job application unless the applicant selects one or more available jobs. The applicant is also required to submit gender and ethnicity information. The applicant's information is stored in a database where it is related to jobs or job groups so that the employer can create a profile of the gender, ethnicity, and optionally other applicant data for applicants who apply for specified jobs or job groups. Preferably, the system also allows the employer to track similar information for new hires and thus profile an applicant pool and compare it to a profile of actual hires.
