Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically assessing and monitoring information security effectiveness using collected indicia of sensitive content and indicia of security measure information for a plurality of networked organizational assets/systems to provide respective asset/system value at risk ratings. Elements of the system include automated asset discovery, automated hosting provider and location discovery, collection of information harvested from public sources and, optionally non-public sources, analysis of the collected information against public, non-public, and proprietary sources, and/or mathematical models used to infer broader security program conclusions and to rank asset/system values at risk. Estimates of values at risk are used to prioritize allocation of security measures.

Abstract: The invention relates to a drawing press (10) having a first ram (17) and a second ram (18). The first ram (17) is moved in a working direction (A) by an electromotive first ram drive (25) and the second ram (18) by an electromotive second ram drive. The drawing press (10) also has a coupling means (35) which can be switched between an uncoupling state and a coupling state. In the uncoupling state, the two rams (17), (18) can move independently of one another in the working direction (A). In the coupling state, the coupling means (35) ensures that a relative movement between the two rams (17, 18) is prevented. The drawing press (10) can therefore be operated as a single-acting or double -acting press.

Abstract: A device for the electrodeionization of an aqueous electrolyte solution, comprises an electrodeionization module (1), an ultrafiltration module (21, 22, 1201, 1202, 1203) and a connection piece (3, 10) which connects the electrodeionization module (1) and the ultrafiltration module (21, 22, 1201, 1202, 1203) such as to be able to guide a diluate produced from the electrolyte solution during operation of the device in the electrodeionization module (1) from the electrodeionization module (1) to the ultrafiltration module (21, 22, 1201, 1202, 1203); wherein the connection piece (3, 10) is devoid of an adjustable pressure-maintaining valve. Via the pressure drop occurring in the ultrafiltration modules (21, 22, 1201, 1202, 1203), these devices build up a counter pressure behind the electrodeionization module (1) which is sufficient to ensure the packing density of the ion exchanger in the electrodeionization module (1).
