US Patent:

20090230060, Sep 17, 2009

Filed:

Jan 6, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/349129

Inventors:

Mark A. Snyder - Oakland CA, US
Ken Baker - Martinez CA, US
Christopher Moran - Petaluma CA, US

Assignee:

BIO-RAD LABORATORIES, INC. - Hercules CA

International Classification:

B01D 15/08

US Classification:

210656, 210143

Abstract:

In an axial-flow cylindrical preparative chromatography column that utilizes a piston to close off the top of the resin space inside the column and thereby eliminate void spaces at the top of the resin, one or more proximity detectors are incorporated in the piston head to either generate a signal indicating the proximity of the piston had to the resin, or to collect a signal, such as a optical signal, emitted from the resin. The value of the signal or any change in the signal is compared to a threshold value to ascertain when the piston head is in proximity to the resin so that the motion of the piston toward the resin can be halted before contact pressure from the piston head damages the resin.

Inventors:

- Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 9/48

Abstract:

A universal security agent deployed on a computing endpoint includes one or both of a base agent and a security agent plugin module. The base agent loads the security agent plugin module and, in response, receives plugin tasks from the security agent plugin module for registration. The base agent schedules the received plugin tasks based on a policy and/or a system access information associated with the security agent plugin module. Further, the base agent executes the plugin tasks based on the scheduling. The base agent controls system access requests generated during the execution of the plugin tasks based on the policy associated with the security agent plugin module. Additionally, the base agent monitors and logs system access information associated with the security agent plugin module.
