A method for biometric authentication has the steps of sending a confidential communication to an intended recipient through the system, the intended recipient providing one or more biometric identifiers to view the communication, wherein the one or more biometric identifiers are unique to the intended recipient, the system verifying the one or more biometric identifiers against one or more stored biometric identifiers, the system accepting the one or more biometric identifiers further has the steps of the system displaying the confidential communication on the mobile device, and the user continues to provide the one or more biometric identifiers, the system continuously verifying the one or more biometric identifiers while the communication is displayed wherein when the verification is uninterrupted of fails the communication is hidden.

A tunable hydraulic vibration damping mount comprises a universal outer housing, inner sleeve, main spring assembly, bottom compliance assembly, and inner bushing. Each of a plurality of flow channel members comprises a cylinder having a common inner diameter, a common outer diameter, and a helical track having a cross-sectional area and a length defining a volume of the helical track. The helical track of each flow channel member defines a different volume. A selected flow channel member is positioned between the inner bushing and the outer housing and between the main spring assembly and the bottom compliance assembly. The selected flow channel member provides a selected dynamic performance of the damping mount.

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or method that generates or creates database entity models using entity models. The system can include devices and components that receive database vendor specific store schema descriptions. The vendor specific store schema descriptions can be employed in conjunction with mapping files that characterize a instance of a database to generate a common object model that can be used to provide a common interface comprehensible across multiple vendor or database types.

Multiple database entity model generation using entity models

A knife having a handle into which a knife blade may be inserted. The blade end of the handle is of reduced diameter and contains a pair of spring-like cantilevered locking arms. The locking arms terminate in a clasping mechanism that interact with a latch contained within a bore in a sheath. The bore is sized and shaped to reciprocate linearly over the blade end of the handle so as to alternatively cover the blade for storage or expose the blade for use.

Surgical knife

An improved surgical instrument is provided for applying surgical fasteners, such as staples, to human tissue which is particularly suited for applying one or more rows of fasteners across a tissue lumen. The surgical instrument can be used in thoracic and abdominal surgical procedures where access to the surgical site is restricted. The surgical instrument includes an articulated fastener applying assembly mounted on a rotatable and flexible support shaft assembly to provide more convenient access to restricted surgical sites. The fastener applying assembly has a compact construction including a fixed jaw which supports a fastener cartridge and a movable jaw which supports an anvil for clamping the tissue therebetween. The fastener applying assembly includes a pin placement mechanism which is actuated by the movable jaw to control the movement of a tissue retaining pin on the fixed jaw. A dual cam mechanism is provided for driving the fasteners into the tissue clamped between the anvil and the fastener cartridge. The instrument has an actuator handle assembly with an improved actuator mechanism for closing the jaws and driving the fasteners into the tissue.
