A method for secure communications between a client and one of a plurality of servers performed on an intermediary device coupled to the client and said plurality of servers. In one aspect, the method comprises: establishing an open communications session between the intermediary device and the client via an open network; negotiating a secure communications session with the client; establishing an open communications session with said one of said plurality of servers via a secure network; receiving encrypted data from the client via the secure communications session; decrypting encrypted application data; forwarding decrypted application data to the server via the secure network; receiving application data from the server via the secure network; encrypting the application data; and sending encrypted application data to the client. In a further aspect, an apparatus including a network interface communicating with the public network and the secure network at least one processor, programmable dynamic memory addressable by the processor, and a communications channel coupling the processor, memory and the network communications interface is provided. The apparatus further includes a proxy TCP communications engine, a proxy SSL communications engine, a server TCP communications engine; and a packet data encryption and decryption engine.

A data center inside a shipping container having a lower plenum and an upper plenum in its interior. Heated air in the upper plenum exits therefrom into a plurality of heat exchangers adjacent thereto. Air cooled by the heat exchangers travels toward and enters the lower plenum. The data center includes a plurality of carriages each having an equipment receiving portion located between an open bottom portion in open communication with the lower plenum, and an open top portion in open communication with the upper plenum. Fans inside each of the carriages draw cooled air up from the lower plenum into the open bottom portion of the carriage, blow the cooled air up through the equipment receiving portion thereby cooling any computing equipment received therein, and vent the cooled air through the open top portion into the upper plenum.

A semiconductor device package and method for its fabrication are provided. The semiconductor device package generally includes at least one semiconductor die and a substrate coupled to the semiconductor die. The semiconductor die is provided with a front side defining a sealing area, and a first solder sealing ring pad formed on that front side. The substrate is provided with a front surface opposing the front side of the semiconductor die on which a second solder sealing ring pad is formed. A solder sealing ring structure is sandwiched between the first and second solder sealing pads of the substrate and semiconductor die, such that it extends peripherally about a substantial portion of the sealing area to substantially enclose thereat a cavity between the semiconductor die and the substrate. The solder sealing ring structure includes at least one venting portion defining against at least one of the substrate and semiconductor die an air vent in open communication with the cavity.

An active ingredient, such as particles of a pharmaceutical agent, is uniformly distributed within a transdermal vehicle, such as a gel or other viscous material. The method comprises filling said first container with a non-uniform mixture of a transdermal vehicle and said active ingredient, mounting the first container on a support member, and securing a second container to the first container. The first container has a restricted opening at its proximal end and a piston mounted movably within the first container for movement between a first position proximate said first container distal end to a position proximate said first container proximal end. The second container has a restricted opening at its proximal end and a piston mounted movably within the first container for movement from a first position proximate the second container distal end to a position proximate said second container proximal end. The first container restricted opening and said second container restricted openings are in open communication. The first container's piston is moved from its position proximate the distal end to a position proximate the proximal end and thereby forcing said mixture from the first container into said second container. The positions of the first and second container relative to said support member, are reversed and the process is repeated moving the mixture back and forth between the two containers until a uniform mixture is achieved.

A method for enabling secure communication between a client on an open network and a server apparatus on a secure network. The method is generally performed on a intermediary apparatus coupled to the secure network and the open network. The method includes the steps of negotiating a secure communications session with the client apparatus via the open network; negotiating an open communications session with the server via the secure network; receiving encrypted packet application data having a length greater than a packet length via multiple data packets; decrypting the encrypted packet application data in each data packet; forwarding decrypted, unauthenticated application data to the server via the secure network; and authenticating the decrypted packet data on receipt of a final packet of the segment.

This invention is a network that is defined by its novel approach to privacy, security and freedom for its users. Privacy by allowing access anonymously, security by encrypting and obfuscating resources and freedom by allowing users to anonymously and irrefutably be seen as genuine individuals on the network and to communicate with other users with total security and to securely access resources that are both their own and those that are shared by others with them. The functional mechanisms that this invention provides will restore open communications and worry-free access in a manner that is very difficult to infect with viruses or cripple through denial of service attacks and spam messaging, plus, it will provide a foundation where vendor lock-in need not be an issue.

A system and method are provided for publishing certain advertising information on-line. Presence indicators are incorporated into merchant advertisements published online. The presence indicators are preferably active hyper-links that are configured to allow a consumer to send a request to a merchant for initiation of a 2-way real time communications session. The system provides for adding one of a pool of merchant representatives to an opened communications session with the consumer. Advertisements may be selectively published or withheld from publication based upon the availability status of an associated merchant.
