Abstract: A method includes receiving a plurality of inputs comprising data corresponding to a plurality of network elements, confirming presence of a given network element of the plurality of network elements on at least one network, and adding the given network element to a network element database. The method also includes interfacing with one or more network integration services of a plurality of network integration services to receive data corresponding to the given network element. The network element database is automatically updated with the received data, and the interfacing is performed via a message bus.

Abstract: An airburst delivery system that may provide for effective delivery of firefighting material to forest fires. The system generally utilizes an explosive charge to detonate a frangible containment vessel filled with firefighting material above the earth and typically above fire in a forest canopy. The resulting expanding sphere of water and related shockwaves provides a multi-effect interaction with the fire resulting in multiple water soakings combined with the sue of the vacuum and compression created by the shockwave to starve the fire of fuel and oxygen.

Abstract: A door assembly may include a door defining a first face, a second face opposite the first face, and an opening formed there through from the first face to the second face, a glazing mounted to at least the first face of the door about the opening, and a recess defined in the first face of the door about the opening. The glazing may include a first panel unit defining a first exterior surface and a first interior surface opposite the first exterior surface, and a second panel unit spaced apart from and facing the first interior surface of the first panel unit. The recess may be sized to receive therein the first interior surface of the first panel unit of the glazing with a plane defined by the first exterior surface of the first panel unit substantially flush with a plane defined by the first face of the door.

Abstract: A swivel caster assembly is provided with a releasable locking mechanism which selectively locks the caster assembly against rotation. A leg bushing used to support the leg of an associated appliance such as a baby stroller is rotatably supported by a caster body. The caster body has an upwardly extending locking lug recess, a transverse access aperture passing through the recess, and a transverse axle aperture. A locking lug is slidably received within the recess, and is maneuvered to a fully extended locking position and a retracted unlocking position by an arm member pivotally secured to the caster body. Force transfer between the arm member and the lug is through a spring. A locking collar is secured to the leg bushing and has a downwardly opening notch for engaging the upper end of the locking lug when extended. A pair of detent bosses extend outwardly from the caster body and engage with detent apertures formed in the arm member.

Abstract: A removable latching assembly for use with a child's stroller. The stroller has a latch support post with a latch lug and a bearing surface, and a pivot support post with a bearing surface. The latching assembly includes a latching portion having an engagement surface and a manually operable latch lever with a pawl engagable with the latch lug, and a pivot portion with a bearing surface slidably engagable with the bearing surface of the pivot support post. To install, the pivot portion is maneuvered onto the pivot post bearing surface, the assembly is rotated by substantially ninety degrees about the bearing surface of the pivot support post until the latching portion engagement surface encounters the bearing surface of the latch support post. The latch lever is manipulated to engage the latching pawl with the latch lug.
