| 20120159577 | ANONYMOUS PRINCIPALS FOR POLICY LANGUAGES - Techniques to allow a security policy language to accommodate anonymous credentials are described. A policy statement in a security policy language can reference an anonymous credential. When the policy statement is evaluated to decide whether to grant access to a resource mediated by the policy statement, the anonymous credential is used. The policy language can be implemented to allow one anonymous credential to delegate access-granting rights to another anonymous credential. Furthermore, an anonymous credential can be re-randomized to avoid linkage between uses of the anonymous credential, which can compromise anonymity. | 06-21-2012 |

| 20090164469 | ABDUCING ASSERTION TO SUPPORT ACCESS QUERY - Logical abduction is used to derive the premises that support an access query. In a logic-based access-control system, a query, as to one or more principals' right to access one or more resources, is a statement that can be either true or false. The statement evaluates to true if the principal is allowed to access the resource under the existing set of assertions. Assertions that, if made, would cause the statement to be true can be abduced from the query and from the policy against which the truth of the query is to be judged. The abduced assertions can be used to assist in making the appropriate assertions to cause the query to evaluate to true so that access to the resource can be granted. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090165110 | DELEGATION IN LOGIC-BASED ACCESS CONTROL - Access to a resource may be controlled by a policy, such that a request to access the resource is either granted or denied based on what assertions have been made by various principals. To find the assertions that support a grant of access to the resource, a template may be created that defines the nature of assertions that would cause access to succeed. Assertions may be stored in the form of tokens. The template may be used to search an existing token store to find assertions that have been made, and/or to generate assertions that have not been found in the token store and that would satisfy the template. The assertions in the template may be created by performing an abductive reasoning process on an access query. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090193493 | ACCESS POLICY ANALYSIS - Software tools assist an access-policy analyst or creator to debug and/or author access policies. An access request contains a query that evaluates to either true or false depending on whether access is to be allowed. Abduction may be used to generate assumptions that, if true, would cause the access request to be true. The tool may perform analysis on the generated assumptions, such as: comparing the assumptions with tokens to detect errors in the tokens or to suggest changes to the tokens that would cause the query to be satisfied, or comparing the assumptions to a meta-policy. The tool may allow an analysis, policy author, or other person to interactively walk through assumptions in order to see the implications of the access policy. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100205649 | CREDENTIAL GATHERING WITH DEFERRED INSTANTIATION - Credentials may be gathered to support an access request. In one example, a template describes the credentials to be gathered. A set of credential providers may be consulted, in a particular sequence, to provide the credentials. Credentials may contain variables, and each credential provider may impose its own constraints on the values to be assigned to the variables. Instantiation of the variables may be deferred to a downstream credential provider, thereby allowing each credential provider to specify its constraints on the variables before specific values for the variables are chosen. In one example, an instantiation fact (or “inst fact”) is used to represent the deferred instantiation. A provider may use an inst fact to make its credentials conditional on the instantiation of the variables that the credential contains, where some downstream provider may attempt to instantiate the variables to specific values. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20110296533 | DYNAMIC ASSERTION PROVIDERS FOR LOGIC-BASED SECURITY POLICY LANGUAGES - Architecture that employs dynamic assertion providers in logic-based security policy languages. The dynamic assertion providers provide a mechanism by which data can be processed in an efficient, goal-directed manner. The application of dynamic assertion providers enables the inferencing over type hierarchies, including hierarchies of personally identifiable information and also for file systems which are hierarchal in nature. When searching for facts to bind against for a given subgoal, dynamic assertion providers are also queried. These objects follow an interface which can implement an arbitrary method to provide facts to the logic engine in a goal-directed, on-demand manner. Hierarchical types can be implemented using a hierarchy provider. | 12-01-2011 |

| 20080293614 | ZEOLITE COMPOSITE MATERIALS FOR WASTE ODOR CONTROL - A composite material for environmental odor control is useful in controlling odors from waste, for example, as an alternative daily cover for landfills and in composting applications. The composite material includes a fiber web and a zeolite containing metals to promote absorption of odorous gas. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20110183007 | ANTIFUNGAL COMPOSITIONS - An antifungal composition includes a borate fungicide and an ion-exchange type antimicrobial agent with two or more different metal ions. For example, the ion-exchange type antimicrobial agent may be a zeolite and the metal ions may be magnesium ions and manganese ions. The combination of the metal ions and the borate provide a synergistic effect in fungal resistance. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110287215 | STRUCTURE FOR MOLECULAR SEPARATIONS - A process of producing a structure for molecular separations includes providing a plurality of template materials. The template materials are selected from biomolecules, biopolymers, polymers, or combinations thereof. A sieve material, suitable for producing a structure for molecular separations, is provided around the template materials. The template materials are positioned in an arrangement for leaving pores suitable for molecular separations. The template materials are removed to leave pores in the sieve material and produce the structure suitable for molecular separations. | 11-24-2011 |

| 20120193572 | BEDDING PRODUCT HAVING PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL - Embodiments herein describe a cooling cushion or bedding product and methods of making the same. In some embodiments, the cooling cushion or bedding product comprises a microencapsulated phase change material having a melting point in the range from about −30° C. to about 55° C. and a foam. In some embodiments, the microencapsulated phase change material is uniformly dispersed within the foam. Embodiments herein also describe a method of making a cooling cushion or bedding product comprising dispersing a microencapsulated phase change material into a polyol to create a polyol-PCM blend and adding an isocyanate to the polyol-PCM blend. Some embodiments describe a method of making a cooling cushion or bedding product comprising pouring polyol, microencapsulated phase change material having a melting point in the range from about −30° C. to about 55° C. and isocyanate together to form a foaming reaction. | 08-02-2012 |

| 20110200674 | ANTIMICROBIAL FOAM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - An antimicrobial foam includes an open-cell foam in a foam matrix defining a plurality of interconnected bubbles therein. Silver nanoparticles are suspended within the foam matrix. The foam matrix may be made from polyether polyurethane, polyester polyurethane, polycarbonate, thermoplastic olefin, thermoplastic elastomer, and thermoplastic polyurethane. The silver nanoparticles may have an average size between about 5 and 100 nanometers. The silver nanoparticles may be incorporated into the foam matrix in a concentration of between about 0.01 weight-% and about 0.20 weight-%. A method of manufacture of the foam also is described. | 08-18-2011 |
