20110232956 | Electromagnetic Isolation Chamber With Unimpeded Hand Entry - An Electronic Isolation Chamber With Unimpeded Hand Entry is disclosed. The somewhat “open” appearance of the Electromagnetic Isolation Chamber goes contrary to teachings in the art of RF shielding and enclosures. A sleeve through an aperture in the chamber is worn by an operator, and with the placement of an operator's arm there through, the electromagnetic shielding is completed and the volume contained within the chamber is electromagnetically isolated from the environment exterior to the chamber. This novel arrangement allows an operator to work with bare hands, thus providing more tactile interaction with a device under test and also reducing the tendency for shorting that is present when wearing conductive gloves. A shielded window and an interior light may be included to facilitate viewing of a device within the chamber during operation of the device. The chamber provides an inexpensive, fully shielded environment for the testing, tuning, adjusting, or repair of RF transmitting or receiving devices such as computers, wireless devices, cellular telephones, and the like. | 09-29-2011 |

20120117640 | Integrated Computer Security Management System and Method - The present disclosure is generally directed to a computer security management system that integrates a firewall with an intrusion detection system (IDS). In other words, the firewall and IDS of the present disclosure can be designed to communicate process or status information and packets with one another. The present disclosure can facilitate centralized control of the firewall and the IDS and can increase the speed at which packets are passed between a secured computer network and an external network. Increased packet processing speed can be achieved in several ways. For example, the firewall and IDS can process packets in series, in parallel, and sometimes singularly when one of the components is not permitted to process a packet. Alternatively, singular processing can also be performed when one component is permitted to pass a packet to the secured computer network without checking with the other component. | 05-10-2012 |
