Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100333189METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENFORCING SECURITY POLICIES ON NETWORK TRAFFIC - A computer readable medium that includes computer readable program code embodied therein. The computer readable medium causes the computer system to receive, by a data link rule enforcer, a packet from a packet source of the packets, and obtain a data link rule applying to a data link. The data link is operatively connected to the packet source, and the data link is associated with a media access control (MAC) address. The computer readable medium further causes the computer system to determine, by the data link rule enforcer, whether the packet complies with the data link rule, and drop, by the data link rule enforcer, the packet when the packet fails to comply with the data link rule.12-30-2010

20080241279Materials and methods of using calcium for reduction of inflammation - Nutritional approaches for the control of inflammation can involve the administration of therapeutic amounts of calcium. The administration of appropriate amounts of calcium to an individual results in a reduction in inflammatory processes and markers associated with the inflammatory processes. The therapeutic amount of calcium can be selected to change a level of inflammation in the individual. The approach for reducing inflammation can comprise a step of measuring the C-reactive protein marker level and administering calcium in amounts selected to induce a change in the C-reactive protein level. The calcium can be incorporated into a product with corresponding instructions to induce a desired inflammation reduction.10-02-2008

20100175457APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ANALYTIC ANALYSIS UTILIZING METHANOL RINSING - An analysis system and method including a combined purge and trap (P&T) concentrator and P&T autosampler (generally, together, “the P&T system”) in conjunction with a gas chromatograph may be under control of a microprocessor that may control the various valve operations, syringe operations, cleaning operations, sample acquisition, and the like. The system includes automatic controls to clean the various components of the system such as valves and pathways, etc., using methanol, perhaps combined other cleaning techniques, between samples so that any residual contaminates remaining in a part of the system from one sample are minimized from affecting the results of an analysis of a subsequent sample. The automated methanol rinse greatly improves accuracy of sample analysis from one sample to the next.07-15-2010

20090083302USING AN INCREMENTING TIME ELEMENT TO SELECTIVELY ADD LIST ITEMS TO EITHER THE START OR THE END OF AN ORDERED LIST - The present invention discloses a solution for establishing position values of new items in an ordered list at either the start or the end of the list without using of markers and without needing to query all the items of the list. In the solution, a command to add a new item to the ordered list can be received, which specifies whether the item is to be added at the start or the end of the list. When the item is to be added to the end of a list, an item position value for a new item can be set equal to a current value of a time element. Otherwise, it can be set equal to negative one times the current value of the time element (assuming smallest to largest ordering). Mathematical derivates that produce the same effect are contemplated.03-26-2009
