Abstract: The present invention relates to filters used to remove debris from water being sucked into a piping system. It has particular application use in nuclear power plants, which, after a loss of coolant accident, must pump cooling water back into the reactor core from a collection sump. This water may contain various types of debris that must be removed before the water is sent back into the reactor cooling system. There are restrictions on the allowable pressure drop across the strainer and the space available for installing this equipment. The finned strainer of the present invention addresses these issues while maximizing the quantity of debris filtered from the water.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of utilizing data, by a transport, for a period of time according to a license file, removing a first type of the data, by the transport, while the transport is operating, removing a second type of the data, by the transport when the transport ceases operating, and retaining a third type of data in memory after the transport ceases operating.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of creating, by a transport, a digital key when the transport is powered on, wherein the digital key relates to an identity of an occupant of the transport, creating, by the transport, a digital sub-key that is related to the digital key, using, by the transport, the digital key during processing of a first set of functions, and using, by the transport, the digital sub-key during processing of a second set of functions that are more critical than the first set of functions.

Abstract: A method of securing a container includes inserting, into a seal device at a container, an electronic bolt; reading, by the seal device, a serial number stored in the electronic bolt; communicating, from the seal device, to a user application, insertion of the bolt; scanning, by the user via a handheld device, a barcode on the seal device representative of an identification of the seal device; communicating, from the handheld device to the user application, the identification of the seal device; inputting, by a user at the container via the handheld device, information associated with the container; communicating, from the handheld device to the user application, the information associated with the container; associating, in a database by the user application, the information associated with the container with the bolt serial number and the identification of the seal device; communicating, by the user application, a confirmation to the seal device.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a transport, first data from an occupant device proximate the transport, modifying, by the transport, a location-based level of trust related to a type and an interaction of the received first data with the occupant device, and receiving, by the transport, second data based on the modified location-based level of trust and a proximity of the occupant device to the transport.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of receiving, by a server, a request for particular data, determining, by the server, a transport that can provide the particular data based on one or more current settings of the transport and a current route of the transport, requesting, by the server, the transport to provide the particular data for a value, and receiving, by the server, the particular data.

Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of generating a data frame for transmission via a controller area network (CAN) bus of a transport, the data frame comprising data stored in a plurality of fields, encoding at least one authentication bit into a value within a data field of the generated data frame, wherein the at least one authentication bit comprises a digital signature based on a predefined key for the at least one authentication bit, and transmitting the generated data frame with the at least one authentication bit that comprises the digital signature via the CAN bus.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide indirect and temporary access to a company's IT infrastructure and business applications. The methods/systems involve establishing an access control center (ACC) to control the access that technical support personnel may have to the company's IT infrastructure and business applications. Thin client terminals with limited functionality may then be set up in the ACC for use by the technical support personnel. The thin client terminals connect the technical support personnel to workstations outside the ACC that operate as virtual desktops. The virtual desktops in turn connect the technical support personnel to the IT infrastructure and business applications. An ACC application may be used to automatically establish the connection between the thin client terminals and the virtual desktops and the virtual desktops and the IT infrastructure and business applications.
