Wiper blade for cleaning vehicle windows

A wiper blade is proposed, which is for cleaning for windows, particularly of motor vehicles. The wiper blade (10) has an elongated, rubber-elastic wiper strip (14), which can be placed against the window (22) and is connected to an elongated, spring-elastic support element (12) so that their longitudinal axes are parallel, which support element (12) is directly connected to a device (16) for connecting the wiper blade to a driven wiper arm (18). The support element (12) has two band-like spring strips (28, 30), which are situated in a plane that is disposed in front of the window, essentially parallel to the window, and whose one, lower band surfaces (13) are oriented toward the window and whose adjacent, inner longitudinal edges (48), which are disposed spaced a distance (34) apart from each other, each protrude into a respective longitudinal groove (54, 56, or 106), which grooves are associated with each longitudinal edge and are open toward a respective longitudinal side of the wiper strip (14), and these two spring strips (36, 38) are connected to each other by at least two crosspieces (36, 38) disposed spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. Manufacturing advantages for the wiper blade according to the invention are achieved if each crosspiece (36, 38) has a middle section (42) which extends spaced a distance (44) apart from the upper band surfaces (11) of the spring strips (28, 30), producing bridge-like crosspieces, where the distance (34) between the two longitudinal strips (28, 30) is less than the bridge width (46).

Optimized methodology for dispositioning missed scheduled tasks

The present invention provides for a method and system for the disposition of tasks which failed to run during their originally scheduled time. The determination of whether to run missed or delayed tasks is based on calculated ratios rather than on fixed window sizes. A Lateness Ratio is calculated to determine if the time elapsed between the missed task and the scheduled run time is small enough to still allow a late task to run. A Closeness Ratio is calculated to determine if the next available run time for the missed task is close enough to the next scheduled execution of the task that the missed task will be run in place of the upcoming scheduled task. Each ratio is compared to a user defined ratio limit, so if the calculated ratio does not exceed the limit, then the missed task is executed at the first available opportunity.

Data leakage prevention for resource limited device

When a resource-limited device (such as a mobile telephone) joins a network associated with an enterprise, the agent in the device generates digital signatures for all the files in the device and sends them to an enterprise controller. The controller compares them to the global signature database; it filters out the sensitive digital signatures and feeds them back to the agent in the device. The agent receives the feedback of digital signatures and consolidates them into its own local signature database. The agent analyzes each file that is attempting to be output from the device according to the local signature database and DLP policy. If the signature of the file is present in the local database then the action to output file is blocked. If a new file is created on the device, the agent generates and sends its digital signature to the controller for inspection. If the signature is sensitive, this new digital signature will be placed into the local signature database. If the DLP controller updates the global signature database, the device will send its signatures once again for comparison.
