A method and apparatus to securely distribute embedded firmware to a module in an industrial control system is disclosed. A security certificate corresponding to the firmware is generated utilizing a proprietary algorithm. The certificate includes an identifier corresponding to the module on which the firmware is to be loaded and an identifier corresponding to a removable medium on which the firmware is distributed. The removable medium is inserted into the module in the industrial control system on which the firmware is to be loaded. The module reads the security certificate and verifies that the firmware is intended for the module and verifies that the security certificate includes the identifier for the removable medium which was inserted into the module. If the firmware is intended for the module and the security certificate includes the identifier for the removable medium, the module loads the firmware from the removable medium.

Clasp for a rope halter

Keeper for a rope halter

An adjustable rope halter for horses and a kit for assembling the halter. The halter is formed from a single length of rope shaped to form a headstall having a headband loop releasably engageable with a clasp. A noseband is defined by upper and lower nose loops and a lower jaw loop is engaged with a halter ring on the lower nose loop. The clasp is engageable with the headband for mounting the halter on a horse's head when the noseband is engaged with the horse's nose and the headband is passed around the back of the horse's head.

Adjustable rope halter and kit for assembling the same

A remote control and display panel system suitable for eating establishments, for example, wherein the orders as to item and quantity per item, for a succession of customers, may be fed into a composite memory system and displayed on the display panel so that cook personnel may perceive the same. Information fed into the memory system is continuously strobed so as to supply a visually continuous read-out of such information on the display panel. Features are incorporated in the system to provide for accommodation to the use of a plurality of controls panels with one or more display panels; equipment is provided for clearing and ease of operation.
