Abstract:

Proper user-to-data associations are maintained in shared spaces created in a peer-to-peer collaborative system by means of a simplified and minimal user interface that permits users to easily authenticate other members of a shared space. In particular, support is provided for automatically building authenticated relationships even if users do not take the time to authenticate other users. When a user enters a shared space and views the contacts in that space, the display names of each contact are accompanied by distinctive icons that identify that authentication status of that contact. A mechanism is provided for resolving conflicts between contacts with the same display names to prevent confusion and contact “spoofing. ” Security policies can be established to provide a uniform approach to authentication. These policies can be set by a user or, alternatively, the policies can be set by an administrator.

Abstract:

An aerodynamic liquid carrying container adapted for liquid delivery to a cyclist includes a reservoir with at least one compartment adapted to hold a liquid and being mountable to a bicycle forward frame member. The reservoir has at least one opening, to receive liquid and to allow liquid to be drawn out from the container; a flexible tubing member passing from the inside to the outside of the reservoir and having a first and second ends, the first end located near the lowest liquid level point in the reservoir and the second end being positionable to allow a rider hands-free access to drink liquid contained in the reservoir; furthermore, the container is attached to the frame member(s) using pads, suction cups, VELCRO, or straps that do not leave a mark on the frame member(s). The container is mounted in a zone of turbulence to increase the aerodynamic performances of a bicycle.
