International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713/200000

Abstract:

A method for managing access control of a resource includes storing a revocation list containing a list of revoked capabilities and their corresponding groups; storing a group list containing a list of valid groups; receiving a capability revocation request to revoke a specified capability; selecting a revocation method from among a plurality of revocation methods, including an individual capability revocation method and a group revocation method; revoking the specified capability by invalidating the group to which the specified capability belongs if the group revocation method is selected; and revoking the specified capability by invalidating only the specified capability if the individual capability revocation method is selected.

International Classification:

H04L009/00

US Classification:

713/200000

Abstract:

A system for protecting data integrity in a network attached block-device, such as a disk or a disk array, includes a capability issuer module coupled to a metadata server. The capability-issuer module creates capability data in accordance with a predetermined set of rules, and issues the capability data to the client over a secured channel. The capability data includes a group identifier, a capability identifier, a block-device identifier, a list of extents for specifying a range of blocks to which access is granted, an access mode for indicating the type of access allowed, and a cryptographic string for preventing forgery of capabilities by unauthorized parties. A capability checker module coupled to a network attached block-device verifies that the client's block access request is consistent with the capability data issued, and that the capability data is authentic. Upon verifying the client's capability data, the client's block access request is granted and executed at the network-attached block-device.

Appl. No.:

6/946370

Inventors:

David A. Andersen - Long Beach CA

Assignee:

Wescotek, Inc. - Long Beach CA

International Classification:

A01N 2500
A23L 0000

US Classification:

424 84

Abstract:

A fly attractant composition includes a quantity of poultry protein wherein the poultry protein includes a quantity of at lesat one protein digestive microorganism capable of digesting the protein. This microorganism can either be native to the protein or it can be added as an inoculum. Further the composition contains a quantity of a carbohydrate which is capable of being fermented to yield carbon dioxide as a fermentation product. Additionally the composition contains a quantity of at least one carbohydrate fermentation microorganism which is capable of fermenting the carbohydrate to release carbon dioxide. When water is added to the fly attractant composition to form a fly lure, the carbon dioxide from the fermenting carbohydrate drives off odors from the ingredients which attracts flies to the lure.

International Classification:

A23L 131
A23L 1317

US Classification:

426 92

Abstract:

A highly palatable and long lasting dog chew for pets has been developed by combining a formulation and processing sequence which results in a highly palatable meat based filling being incorporated into the center of a preformed rawhide stick or rawhide roll. Such outside rawhide fraction is extremely tough and chewy which results in a dog chew which takes a long period of time for the dog to consume. The inside meat filling is highly palatable which results in the animal maintaining interest in the treat until nearly the entire chew has been consumed. The interior meat filling is preserved by reduced water activity to below 0. 85 as a result of incorporating of salt, sugars and natural humectants. Said filling is formulated and processed in such a manner that the water phase is bound within the filling and does not pass by capillary action to the outside rawhide fraction. This results in the outer rawhide shell maintaining a tough and chewable texture until such point as the dog is offered the finished chew.
