US Patent:

50426141, Aug 27, 1991

Filed:

Oct 4, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/592848

Inventors:

Robert P. Rainey - Atkins AR

International Classification:

E06C 500
A45F 326

US Classification:

182 22

Abstract:

Interactive component parts for assembling an ATV-mounted hunting stand of either the "A"-frame type or tree-leaning type, or alternatively as a ground-standing tree-leaning hunting stand. It includes a leveling seat platform, ladder elements, quick-grasping base connector assemblies, and a ground support. The seat platform has angularly-adjustable sockets so sized as to fit onto the upper ends of ladder elements, whose lower ends may have sleeves to allow these ladder elements to be mounted atop other ladder elements. Base connector sleeve assemblies allow ladder elements to be quickly and easily mounted on and demounted from rods attached to an ATV; they are free to pivot about these rods. When such ladder elements are so mounted on an ATV as an A-frame hunting stand, changing the angularity of the seat sockets effects seat leveling. For ground-standing ladder use, a broad ground support may be inserted into the lowest ladder element.

Abstract:

A computer program product for controlling access to a resource of an electronic device includes program instructions for executing a method. The method stores a first password and a second password in memory of the electronic device, wherein the first password and the second password are used to allow a user to gain access to a resource of the electronic device, and wherein the second password has greater password strength than the first password. The method further includes, during a first time period passing since the user last accessed the resource, granting the user access to the resource in response to receiving the first password, and, during a second time period following the first time period, granting the user access to the resource only in response to receiving the second password. An alternative method increases the number of required security measures as a function of time since the last access.
