In the prior art of computer security by default programs are allowed to do whatever they like to other programs or to their data files or to critical files of the operating system, which is as absurd as letting a guest in a hotel bother other guests as he pleases, steal their property or copy it or destroy it, or have free access to the hotel's management resources. The present concept is based on automatic segregation between programs. This is preferably done by creating automatically an unlimited number of Virtual Environments (VEs) with virtual sharing of resources, so that the programs in each VE think that they are alone on the computer, and (unless explicitly allowed by the user) any changes that they think they made in virtually shared resources are in reality only made in their own VE, while the user preferably has an integrated view of the computer.

Located within a GFCI device having a receptacle is a movable contact bearing arm which is held in either a closed or open position with a fixed contact by a latching member that is connected to the spring loaded reset button. The reset button assumes a first or a second position which is determined by the conductive state of the GFCI. When the GFC is in a conducting state, the reset button is substantially fully depressed within the housing of the GFCI. When the GFCI is in a non-conductive state, the reset button projects outward beyond the top surface of the housing of the GCFI. Thus, the movable contact bearing arm, acting through a latching member, determines the position of the reset button. A blocking member located within the body of the GFCI is positioned by the reset button to allow free access of the prongs of a plug into the openings of the receptacle when the reset button is depressed or to block at least one opening of the receptacle to prevent a plug from entering the openings of the receptacle when the reset button projects out beyond the surface of the housing. Thus, when the GFCI is in a conducting state, the reset button is recessed within the GFCI housing and positions the blocking member to the first position to allow the prongs of a plug to be inserted into the receptacle openings. When the GFCI is in a non-conducting state, the reset button protrudes outward from the housing of the GFCI to position the blocking member to the second position to block at least one opening of the receptacle to prevent the prongs of a plug from entering the receptacle. GFCI's normally have two separate sets of internally located contacts known as bridge contacts where one set is used to connect a load to the source of electricity and the second set is used to connect a user accessible load to the source of electricity. The bridge contacts provide isolation between the conductors to the load and the conductors to the contacts of the GFCI receptacle when the GFCI is in a fault state. In the GFCI here disclosed, the blocking member prevents the prongs of a plug from entering the receptacle when the GFCI is in a fault state and, therefore, can eliminate the need for the bridge contacts.

Combination case for providing a versatile protective case for a handheld device, such as a PDA. The combination case has a rigid inner shell that attaches to an outer shell with a mounting plate. The handheld device is inserted into the rigid inner shell, which is then attached to the rear panel of the outer shell. The rigid inner shell is a three-sided shell that holds the handheld device and allows free access to the LCD display and operational components on the device when the outer shell is open. A soft inner shell may be used instead of the rigid inner shell. This soft inner shell attaches to the outer shell with the mounting plate and provides a water-resistant enclosure for the device.

A method and a system is disclosed for providing access in a centralized manner to a communications medium that is suitable for allowing use of a plurality of Home Phoneline Network Association (HPNA) v2 frames. A plurality of messages are transmitted between a first enhanced station and a second enhanced station. Each transmitted message is transmitted in an enhanced frame that has timing to allow an Inter-Frame Gap (IFG). A blocking signal, such as a sine wave signal and a cosine wave signal, is transmitted during at least one IFG between enhanced frames to mask the presence of the IFG to a non-enhanced STA. Alternatively, the blocking signal can be transmitted during at least one reply message. Contention-free access to the communications medium is also provided by transmitting messages in a highest priority level available in an HPNA v2 frame.

A technology that can adaptively control an access mode according to a shared band or an unlicensed band used by an adjacent communication system. An access mode controlling apparatus includes a band recognition unit to recognize a usage rate of an unlicensed band or a shared band that is used by an adjacent communication system of a target communication system; a mode determination unit to determine, as an access mode, any one of a contention access mode and a contention-free access mode, based on the usage rate of the unlicensed band or the shared band; and an information transmitter to transmit mode information associated with the determined access mode to member nodes or a base station of the target communication system.

A cover for a tablet PC provides protection to the body while allowing free access to a touch screen and other controls. The cover has an integrally connected keyboard or other input device which can be simply deployed for use, allowing conventional keyboard- or other-based input to the PC. When not in use the input device can be stowed at the rear of the cover, complementing device protection thereto. The cover further provides support elements allowing the PC to be situated for use on a horizontal surface, with the actual angle of situation adjustable to meet individual needs. When not needed or for transport, the support elements collapse and are received within the cover. In addition, the cover allows the PC to be situated, with the input device deployed or otherwise, in either a landscape or portrait orientation.

A woven fabric mesh personal air purifier to be adhesively received to the face and nose. The present invention comprises a single layer of precision woven, polymer fabric with an integral, pressure-sensitive adhesive band coincident with the circumferential periphery of one side and where the square pore size determines the minimum size particulate rejected. The filter fabric adhesive creates a leak proof seal against the upper lip, face and nose thereby enclosing the nostrils. The area of the filter fabric is sufficient to compensate for the increased breathing resistance that will occur because the filtering element decreases the free access of airflow through the nostrils.

A system, method, and computer program product for providing a real estate lockbox. The real estate lockbox manages access over a network to real estate data by restricting access to certain real estate data while providing free access to other real estate data. Access to the restricted, private real estate data may be gained by receiving a real estate lockbox key. As a result, the real estate lockbox serves a similar function as a physical real estate lockbox, but in an online environment—allowing casual access to public real estate data, but requiring more secured access to private real estate data. In one embodiment, the present invention also provides real estate search toolbar in the form of an API to facilitate searching for real estate over a network.

A station for transporting organized medical supplies and dispensing such supplies is disclosed. In the dispensing configuration, the supplies located in the station can be easily accessed without the need to touch or otherwise manipulate the station. This touch-free access aids to prevent the transmission of pathogens. An upper panel with a number of compartments for medical supplies is connected to the station body to facilitate such touch-free access. The upper panel also supports a touch-free dispenser for hand sanitizer. The station can also be configured easily to a more compact configuration for transport. For example, the dispensing panel is moved from an upright dispensing position to a lowered horizontal position for transportation. Caster assemblies supporting the station enhance mobility for transportation.
