Abstract: An electric strike for a door frame, comprising: a body; a keeper moveably attached to the body for selectively retaining a latch bolt on a door; a blocking element movable between a blocking position in which the blocking element locks the keeper to prevent a latch from being moved past the keeper, and an unblocking position in which the blocking element unlocks the keeper to allow the latch to move past the keeper; an electronically controlled electric actuator for moving the blocking element between the blocking position and the unblocking position; and an override mechanism to override the electric actuator.

Abstract: An environment for facilitating the management of content for users associated with specific partner networks is provided. Users may be granted access to such specific partner networks in accordance with each user's affiliation with one or more organizations. In accordance with the above, a content management system facilitates the content/information exchange by accepting software applications from content providers. Additionally, the content management system accepts software application specifications or manifests from partner network administrators. Accordingly, the content management system can audit and recommend actions to users regarding applicable software application based one user organizational associations. Still further, the content management system can facilitate requests from affiliated users for specific types of content that can be forwarded to content providers and later made available to affiliated users.

Abstract: A method of administering a computing system, including a plurality of computing devices. The method includes selecting an application for download to a computing device, prior to downloading the application, decompiling the application, searching for string patterns in the decompiled application, replacing the string patterns in the decompiled application with another string pattern, the another string pattern being configured to intercept at least one of a system event or an Application Programming Interface (API) call, and associating logic with the application. The logic is configured to interact with the application via the at least one system event or API call, the logic is configured to provide additional functions to the application, the logic is configured to be shared between the application and at least one other application, and the logic is stored separate from the application.

Abstract: The method includes receiving, at a commercial app store system, an application including embedded customization code, publishing, by the commercial app store system, the application to a commercial app store, associating the application with a license to a private app store, the private app store being associated with the end-user computing device, installing the application on the end-user computing device, receiving an indication from the end-user computing device that the application has launched, and communicating customization data to the end-user computing device.

Abstract: The method administers an enterprise computing system that includes a plurality of user mobile computing devices. The method includes selecting a pre-written application for inclusion in a menu of enterprise applications downloadable to a user computing device, allowing the user computing device to download the pre-written application, and interposing an application wrapper on the pre-written application before allowing the user computing device to download the pre-written application, the application wrapper being configured to control an operation of the pre-written application.

Abstract: A bagpipe reed system is disclosed. A reed seat body is substantially tubular and includes a bleed hole through one side. An open end is attachable to a bagpipe drone or chanter. A planar reed substantially overlies the bleed hole and is held at one end by a reed mount to the reed seat body. The reed seat body has an external reed seat surface around the bleed hole which is shaped such that the planar reed diverges from the reed seat body. The reed seat surface is preferably a curved plane. A reed pitch adjuster is preferably mounted to the reed seat surface.
