20100146612 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRUST-BASED, FINE-GRAINED RATE LIMITING OF NETWORK REQUESTS - A method and apparatus for fine-grained, trust-based rate limiting of network requests distinguishes trusted network traffic from untrusted network traffic at the granularity of an individual user/machine combination, so that network traffic policing measures are readily implemented against untrusted and potentially hostile traffic without compromising service to trusted users. A server establishes a user/client pair as trusted by issuing a trust token to the client when successfully authenticating to the server for the first time. Subsequently, the client provides the trust token at login. At the server, rate policies apportion bandwidth according to type of traffic: network requests that include a valid trust token are granted highest priority. Rate policies further specify bandwidth restrictions imposed for untrusted network traffic. This scheme enables the server to throttle untrusted password-guessing requests from crackers without penalizing most friendly logins and only slightly penalizing the relatively few untrusted friendly logins. | 06-10-2010 |

20140068652 | CONTENT CARRIED RATINGS BASED CONTROL - Example apparatus and methods concern selectively accepting or rejecting content based on ratings identifier information included in the content. Example apparatus and methods facilitate identifying a content fragment (e.g., f-MP4 fragment) to be rejected based on an identifier located in the fragment rather than information located in some external source (e,g., Event Information Table (EIT)). One example method includes identifying a fragment based on a ratings identifier encoded as a universally unique identifier (UUID) in the fragment and then selectively accepting or rejecting the fragment based on the rating. Rather than rely only on a predicted start time, a predicted end time, a predicted source, and a pre determined coarse-grained rating, example apparatus and methods may be better prepared to account for unanticipated start times, ending times, schedule changes, and source changes, and may provide finer grained user control based on ratings carried in content. | 03-06-2014 |

20090265551 | System and Methods for Access Control Based on a User Identity - System and methods for access control in a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) network are based on a user identity. A control point has an identity assertion capability for identifying a user. The control point is configured to declare a value of an attribute associated with the identity assertion capability. A device is communicatively coupled to the control point via the UPnP network. The device has a first access control list and a trusted-to-identify access control list (TIA). The device is configured to permit the user to perform one or more actions based upon whether the user identity appears as a subject in the first access control list. | 10-22-2009 |

20100068264 | NIOSOME-HYDROGEL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM - Localized drug delivery systems are effective means to administer therapeutic concentrations and controlled release of drugs. A delivery system consisting of non-ionic surfactant vesicles (niosomes) packaged within a biodegradable, temperature and pH sensitive hydrogel network was developed. Drug behaviors were modeled using a fluorescent dye with similar physical properties as therapeutic drugs for cancer. The niosomes were embedded into a biodegradable hydrogel providing a stable niosome environment. A cross linked chitosan was used as the hydrogel, which is a liquid at room temperature, and gels inside the body. Depending on the conditions to which individual niosomes are exposed, the release rate can be controlled to last from 24 hours to more than 3 months. | 03-18-2010 |
20140093933 | MICROBIAL CELL AND PARTICLE SELECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE - The invention comprises two key components: dielectrophoresis (DEP) and reversible binding surfaces. DEP has become an important tool for trapping dielectric particles. Moreover, DEP can manipulate cell movement as dictated by the intrinsic dielectric constant of the cell without modification. DEP therefore provides a mechanism by which to force targets in a flow channel to a reversible binding surface. By building selectivity into the binding surface, the capacity to choose which targets can be held after the dielectric field is turned off, providing a separation strategy that does not suffer from fouling issues, as large foulants can freely pass over the surface through the flow channel. | 04-03-2014 |
