| 20090006849 | PEER-TO-PEER NAME RESOLUTION PROTOCOL (PNRP) SECURITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND METHOD - A security infrastructure and methods are presented that inhibit the ability of a malicious node from disrupting the normal operations of a peer-to-peer network. The methods of the invention allow both secure and insecure identities to be used by nodes by making them self-verifying. When necessary or opportunistic, ID ownership is validated by piggybacking the validation on existing messages. The probability of connecting initially to a malicious node is reduced by randomly selecting to which node to connect. Further, information from malicious nodes is identified and can be disregarded by maintaining information about prior communications that will require a future response. Denial of service attacks are inhibited by allowing the node to disregard requests when its resource utilization exceeds a predetermined limit. The ability for a malicious node to remove a valid node is reduced by requiring that revocation certificates be signed by the node to be removed. | 01-01-2009 |

The switch assembly also includes a four-way knob that provides distinct feel to the directions of movement using a contoured male-female connection that uses tabs and slots, a contoured female connection and a protrusion on the tip of the male connector. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20120132510 | Multi-Directional Switch Cell - An electrical switch assembly is provided having a switch cell. The switch cell comprises at least one actuator assembly for actuating a switch. The actuator assembly comprises a resilient member; an actuator comprising a slot for receiving a post therethrough to guide movement of the actuator relative to a housing for the electrical switch, a first cam to engage the resilient member, a second cam, and a protrusion; and a contact providing a surface to engage the second cam; wherein a force imparted on the protrusion causes the second cam to move the contact and actuate the electrical switch. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20100299170 | Stages, Phases in a Project Workflow - A method is presented for creating a life cycle workflow for a project on a server computer. One or more workflow phases are created on the server computer. Each workflow phase corresponds to a plurality of workflow stages for the project. One or more workflow stages are created on the server computer. Each workflow stage corresponds to a specific sequence of workflow activities. One or more project detail pages are created on the server computer. Each project detail page is a web page that is made visible during the workflow stage. When a workflow stage is created, a workflow phase is selected to be associated with the workflow stage and one or more project detail pages are selected for the workflow stage. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100306007 | ENTERPRISE PROJECT TYPES - A selection of an enterprise project type is received from a plurality of enterprise project types. The enterprise project type may include a plurality of pages. Each page may include a plurality of input fields for collecting values of properties. A project page from the enterprise project type is displayed. The project page may include a create project interface element. When a selection of the create project interface element is received, an instance of the enterprise project type is generated. The instance of the enterprise project type represents an entity, such as a project plan, an application plan, or a product plan. The pages are displayed. The values of properties are collected through the pages. The entity is generated by transforming the values of properties into the entity. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20110112760 | METHOD OF CREATING MAP DATA COMPRISING TRANSIT TIMES FOR INTERSECTIONS - A computerised method is disclosed of creating map data from position data derived from the positions of at least one vehicle over a period of time, the map data including a plurality of navigable segments representing segments of a navigable route in the area covered by the map and the map data also including intersections between navigable segments representing intersections in the navigable route. In at least one embodiment, the method includes using a processing circuitry to perform the following: i. processing the position data; ii. calculating from the processing of the position data a transit time or set of transit times for at least some of the intersections in the map data; and iii generating further map data, which for at least some of the intersections therein, contains the calculated transit time or set of transit times associated with the intersection for which the calculation was made. | 05-12-2011 |
