Appl. No.:

09/741356

Inventors:

David J. Cline - Long Beach CA
Timothy S. Clark - San Francisco CA
Stephen P. Gordon - Costa Mesa CA
Michael R. Engle - Long Beach CA

Assignee:

Fluid Research Corporation - Tustin CA

International Classification:

B67B 700

US Classification:

222 55, 222 63, 222135, 222639

Abstract:

A system for metering and dispensing single and plural component liquids and solids as described herein. The dispensing system has a microprocessor-based control system and progressive cavity pumps which provide a very accurate control of component ratios, shot sizes, flow rates and dispense durations. The system has numerous feedback components for accurately controlling the pressure, flow rates, fluid levels and amounts of fluids dispensed. Where a valved nozzle is used, the pressure in the flow system is used to control the pumps rather than the valve. Such a system may be used as a sprayer with compressed air added. Drum rams are associated with the supply drums and the progressive cavity pumps may be placed on the drum ram. Maintenance of a steady state in the system is accomplished with back and forth movement of the pump, with compensation for pressure changes. Absolute rotational position of the pump can be monitored when a set pressure is maintained, to diagnose system conditions.

US Classification:

726 1, 726 2, 726 9, 709219

Abstract:

A system and method to ensure that a remote computer making a VPN connection complies with network security policies. Server-driven security checks may be configured to verify compliance with each access level before access is granted at that level. The security checks may be selected based at least according to the information received from the remote computer. After the server determines that the remote computer complies with the security policy for the requested access level, the server may pass a token to the remote computer, or may grant VPN access to the remote computer. If the remote computer does not comply with the security policy associated with the requested access level but is in compliance with a security policy corresponding to a lower access level, the server may grant the remote computer access to the lower access level.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

7071041, 707E17044

Abstract:

A method and system for determining an impact of an incident. An occurrence of an incident is identified. One or more persons at least potentially impacted by the incident are identified based on dynamic indications. After the occurrence, one or more indicators associated with the one or more persons identified are detected. Based on the indicators, the extent to which the persons identified have been impacted by the incident is assessed.

US Classification:

463 27

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for executing a computer game. One method includes an operation for setting an initial value to the jackpot of a first player. The jackpot of the first player is increased based on each bet by the first player in the computer game. Additionally, the jackpot of the first player is increased based on each bet made by friends of the first player in the computer game. The friends of the first player have a social connection with the first player, and the jackpot of the first player is independent from bets in the computer game of players that are not friends of the first player. The method further includes an operation for resetting the jackpot of the first player to the initial value when the first player or when any friend of the first player wins the jackpot.
