A flywheel actuated device for tensioning a backstay cable of a sailboat has a flywheel that is connected to a turnbuckle. The turnbuckle is connected to a cable backstay of a sailboat. Rotation of the flywheel rotates the turnbuckle to increase or relax tension on the cable backstay. The diameter of the flywheel and the weight of the flywheel near an outer circumference of the flywheel allow the flywheel to store rotational energy and cause the flywheel to temporarily freewheel while the sailboat is under sail when a sufficient manual force is applied to the flywheel, which turns the frame of the turnbuckle and provides an initial tension to the cable backstay.

A pair of elongated housings are positioned generally parallel to each other for connection of a wheel to a vehicle. An elongated member comprising a plurality of rollers is positioned within each of the housings. Spring biasing urges the elongated members downwardly, with the spring biasing absorbing shocks received at the wheel and conveyed to the elongated members, causing movement of the elongated members within the housing. The series of rollers on each of the elongated members traverse the housing to reduce friction between the housing and the elongated member as the elongated members traverse the housing. At least one vehicle wheel is mounted to the elongated members.

A roller assisted low friction reefing grommet that facilitates movement of a reefing line through the grommet. The roller assisted low friction reefing grommet includes a grommet ring having a roller therein that reduces friction of the line traveling through the grommet. A line channeling guide is formed within the interior of the grommet ring by a low friction material positioned on either side of the grommet, with a channel formed by the line channeling guide and the roller for receiving and guiding the reefing line.

A traveler control for a boat includes a car that traverses a track. A first sheave is positioned on a first end of the car and a second sheave is positioned on an opposite end of the car. A line is fixed at a first end and is routed through the first sheave. The line is routed through a plurality of turning blocks. An opposite end of the line is fixed after routing the line through the second sheave. The traveler control provides a mechanical advantage for convenient and precise positioning of a mainsail of a sailboat.

Traveler control

A tiller control for boats comprising a brake that holds a control line in a static position. In turn, the control line holds the tiller and rudder of the boat in a static position. The amount of pressure applied to the control line by the brake is adjustable. Pressure applied to the control line by the brake may be adjusted so that the tiller and rudder are held in a generally static position, but the tiller control can be manually overridden.

Various embodiments of the invention are directed to closely integrating functionality between an internet server and a WebDAV tool. Areas of specific focus in this document include delegation of duties between the internet server and the WebDAV tool, efficient management of a resource's content-type, support for segregation of a namespace into separate virtual roots, and determinations of whether to invoke certain processing extensions to handle requests for a given HTTP verb.

Apparatus and computer-readable media for processing HTTP requests determine scoping mapping between a mapped resource name extension and a content type

A unified architecture for enabling remote access to a network is provided. The network may comprise, as examples, a virtual private network (VPN) and/or a peer-to-peer network. In one embodiment, the architecture includes components installed on a client device/node and a gateway/supernode. Components implemented on the client device may facilitate access in a manner similar to that of a traditional VPN, while components on the gateway may facilitate access in a manner similar to an application proxy. Communication between the client device and gateway may occur, as an example, via a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication protocol.

Creating different congestion control modules (CCMs) that can be plugged into a network communications stack (e.g., a TCP/IP stack). Software abstractions defining transport control events, congestion control algorithms and other information may be exposed by an application programming interface, e.g., of an operating system, and these abstractions may be used to define a CCM. The network communications stack may be configured to select one of multiple available CCMs to control congestion for a given connection. This selection may be based on any of a variety of factors including, but not limited to: network environment; connection path characteristics; connection link characteristics; a value of a socket parameter of an application; other factors; and any suitable combination of the foregoing. Thus, CCMs may be selected and implemented on a per-connection basis.

Enabling network devices to run multiple congestion control algorithms

Disclosed is a method for slowing down the spread of viruses by limiting the number of Transmission Control Protocol ('TCP') connection attempts to arbitrary Internet Protocol ('IP') addresses that can be in progress at any given time&#x2014;a common method employed by viruses to spread to other hosts from an infected host. This is achieved by setting a small limit on the number of connection attempt requests that can be in progress at any given time and can be implemented regardless of whether anti-virus software is installed on the system.

A system and method for facilitating communications over a protocol is provided. The system includes a class factory that holds identifiers associated with determining which, if any, registered protocol object creator should be employed to create a protocol object. The protocol object implements an abstract network protocol base class. The protocol object is employed to abstract details of communicating over a protocol and to provide a byte stream interface to communications occurring over the protocol, while removing protocol specific code from an application program. The method includes creating an instance of a protocol object from a source of registered protocol handlers based on a request to communicate over a protocol and using a base class API to communicate over the protocol through the protocol object.

An improved web server design includes a kernel-based listener service that is configured by a user-mode based administrative process. When a web request is received by the listener service it is placed in a queue associated with an application pool having one or more user-mode web applications configured to process received web requests. The web applications are selectively started and stopped by the administrative process.
