Abstract: A system in which a device may automatically provision another device with credentials, at the behest of a cloud-based service, based in part on the physical proximity of the device to be provisioned. The provisioning device and the device to be provisioned may use a radio access technology (RAT) with a limited radio range. Account information associated with the device to be provisioned is known to the cloud-based service, which authenticates the device to be provisioned via the device with credentials.

Abstract: A device provisioning service (DPS) fields requests from unprovisioned devices so that those unprovisioned devices can obtain network credentials or other data used in provisioning the unprovisioned device. The DPS can identify the device securely and associate with a known user account, or the user provisioning the device can supply network credentials over a side channel after supplying a provision code indicative of possession of the unprovisioned device. The provision code can be unique to the unprovisioned device or a short-sequence code that is not necessarily unique, but that is sufficiently uncommon that a specific short-sequence code would not likely be used more than once at a time. In order to communicate with the DPS, a provisioning device might connect the unprovisioned device and the DPS. If the provisioning device is a trusted device, it can perform some of the steps otherwise required by the DPS.

Abstract: A settings service running on a server remote from a computing device can identify at least one settings group to which the computing device belongs. The settings service can identify all settings that are included in the at least one settings group to which the device belongs. The settings service can compare all the settings and detect any conflicting settings. If there are conflicting settings, the service can choose which of the conflicting settings takes priority, in order to resolve the conflict. For example, a default setting can be overridden by a setting with a higher priority. After resolving the conflict, the settings service can merge the conflicting setting(s) which takes priority, as well as the non-conflicting settings, into a single set of settings to be applied to the device. The settings service can transmit the set of settings to the computing device to be applied.

Abstract: A vibration dampening device that can be attached to the shaft and hosel of a golf club to absorb vibrations. The uniquely designed dampening device is positioned to immediately absorb vibrations of a golf club after the club head makes impact with a golf ball. The absorption of impact vibrations helps reduce injury that may be caused by stress from continual exposure to impact vibration. The vibration dampening device allows users to perform golf swing with less vibration during impact.
