20130074466 | FOOT PLATFORM FOR STANDING LAWN MOWER - A pivotable operator support platform is provided for a standing lawn mower. The pivotable operator support platform is part of a platform assembly. A deck lift foot lever is actuable by the foot of an operator on the support platform to raise the cutting deck of the lawn mower. The deck lift foot lever is pivotable with the operator support platform, and about the same pivot axis, between an operating position and a stored position. A latching assembly automatically deflects as the operator support platform is moved into the stored position, and is biased to engage a latch pin to retain the operator support platform in the stored position. | 03-28-2013 |

20130198294 | DYNAMIC CROSS-SITE REQUEST FORGERY PROTECTION IN A WEB-BASED CLIENT APPLICATION - A canary value is used to validate a message from a non-web browser client application to a web server providing web services to mitigate cross-site forgery attacks. The canary value is generated by the server in party by applying a hash function to a user identifier and a time stamp. The server provides the canary value to the client application in response to receiving a message that does not have a canary or has an expired canary. The client application upon receiving an error message with a canary message will resend the prior message with the canary value present. The client application caches the canary value for subsequent messages until a new canary value is received. The canary value allows the server to ignore messages generated by the client application under control of an attacker. | 08-01-2013 |
