Filed:

Apr 4, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/117509

Inventors:

Christopher A. Fitzgerald - Boulder CO, US

Assignee:

Avaya Technology Corp. - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

G06F 15/173
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709224, 709219, 709227

Abstract:

A system providing for virtual network management is disclosed. A system in accordance with the present invention allows a service provider to remotely manage one or more client network management systems. The security of the client network management systems is advanced by only allowing communications between a client network management system and the service provider that have been initiated by the client network management system. A mirror image of a client network management system is maintained by the service provider as a virtual network management system. Data included in the virtual network management system is periodically updated with data received from the client network management system. Instructions or data may be passed from the service provider to the client network management system in reply to communications initiated by the client network management system. The present invention is particularly useful in connection with the remote management of client networks with respect to which security is a concern.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 3, 713153

Abstract:

Systems and methods for redirecting network traffic include a policy server configured to be in communication with a policy database and a client disposed on a remote device. The policy server is configured to receive an inquiry from the client regarding a universal resource locator (URL) request and, based on a policy obtained from the policy database, cause the client to control the remote device such that network traffic associated with the URL request is routed (tunneled) via a particular interface, e. g. , a virtual private network (VPN) connection, when so required by the policy, and network traffic associated with the URL request is routed over a different VPN connection or a non-VPN connection when so required by the policy.

B23B 51/04

US Classification:

408204, 408206, 408703

Abstract:

A hole cutter for cutting a work piece, such as a wood and/or metal work piece, has a substantially cylindrical blade body defining a wall thickness within the range of about 0. 032 inch to about 0. 038 inch, and a cutting edge formed on one end of the blade body including a plurality of teeth defining an average tooth pitch within the range of about 3. 5 TPI to about 5. 5 TPI for cutting the work piece and forming chips therefrom. The substantially cylindrical blade body and cutting edge define an average tooth pitch to blade body thickness ratio of at least about 110.

Assignee:

Irwin Industrial Tool Company - Huntersville NC

International Classification:

B23B 41/02

US Classification:

408206

Abstract:

A coated hole cutter including an ink-based colored coating applied only to the external surface of the cylindrical blade body of the hole cutter, but not to the surfaces of a circumferentially-extending cutting edge or to the interior surface of the blade body. The ink-based color coating is an ultraviolet activated ink that cures when the coating is exposed to a specific ultraviolet light intensity and wavelength. At least the surfaces of the cutting edge and the internal surface of the blade body, which do not include the coating, have a steam tempered oxide finish that imparts a color that contrasts with the color imparted by the coating.

Christopher Fitzgerald - Boulder CO, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 17/00

US Classification:

726 3

Abstract:

In an example embodiment, disclosed herein is an apparatus comprising an interface configured to communicate with at least one external device, and processing logic coupled with the interface. The processing logic determines whether the interface is connected directly to a predefined network. The processing logic restricts access to the interface responsive to determining the interface is connected to a network other than the predefined network. The processing logic does not restrict access to the interface while the interface is directly connected with the predefined network.
