Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for specifying a data network security policy. In one aspect, a system includes a device-agnostic firewall policy that defines one or more rules for regulating data traffic on a data network. The device-agnostic firewall policy includes a policy definition and a security component. The policy definition delineates regulation of the data network traffic to be implemented by a firewall and a policy token definition that delineates a token used in the policy definition. The security component is implemented in hardware, in software executed on a data processing device, or in a combination thereof and is configured to permit a first group of one or more individuals to change both the policy definition and the policy token definition and a second group of one or more individuals to change the policy token definition while restricting the second group from changing the policy definition.

Abstract:

A broadband microwave coplanar antenna suitable for use in singular antenna or antenna array dispositions in a plurality of military and other present day uses. The disclosed antenna combines desirable characteristic of the patch and slot antenna forms into an arrangement having both patch resonances and slot resonances. These resonances may be individually accessed and either combined in frequency location or dispersed in frequency to accomplish a broadband combination antenna characteristic. Broadband electrical impedance characteristics are also provided in the dispersed resonance arrangement. The antenna includes a coplanar ground plane member disposed surrounding the active patch/slot element with both physical dimensions of the active patch/slot element and spacings from the ground plane element determining the resonances.
