Abstract: A grease catcher apparatus for a frying apparatus can include a support assembly for positioning under the frying apparatus. The support assembly can be configured to receive a removable tray for catching grease from the frying apparatus. The grease catcher apparatus can also include at least one side wall extending generally upwardly from the support assembly. In some embodiments, the side wall may slope toward the removable tray, e.g., for directing the grease into the tray. In some embodiments, the support assembly may include a first support segment and a second support segment positionable across from one another, where each support segment has a base ledge, e.g., for supporting opposite sides of the removable tray. In some embodiments, the support assembly may include a partial enclosure defining an opening for permitting passage of grease, e.g., from the frying apparatus to the removable tray.

Abstract: A package delivery notification and protection device includes a package sensor including a placement surface. The package sensor is configured to generate a sensor signal indicating whether a package has been placed on or removed from the placement surface. Wireless communications circuitry is configured to communicate over a wireless network and processing circuitry is coupled to the package sensor and to the wireless communications circuitry to communicate over the wireless network. The processing circuitry is configured to send a delivery notification over the wireless network responsive to the sensor signal indicating a package has been placed on the placement surface. The package delivery notification and protection device may include and alarm that the processing circuitry activates upon unauthorized removal of a delivered package from the placement surface.

Abstract: A barrier assembly comprising a horizontally deployable vapor barrier assembly with a frame with opposing side guides extending between a header and footer. A guide rod contained in each side guide extends between the header and the footer. A vapor barrier is deployable horizontally with side edge sleeve portions that slide axially over the guide rods. At least one roller is connected to each of the side guides adjacent to the guide rod, and each roller supports a portion of the vapor barrier's side edge portions. The rollers rolls on the edge portions as the sleeve portion slides axially over the guide rods as the vapor barrier moves between the deployed and stowed positions. Lifter plates are attached to each of the side guides and positioned to engage support carriages and temporarily lift the support member out of engagement with the support surface over segment joints as the vapor barrier moves between the stowed and deployed positions.

Abstract: A multi-segmented, multi-plane, vertically deployable vapor and/or fire barrier assembly with a housing, a drive system, a folding barrier, a bottom plate, and motion sensors coupled to the bottom plate and coupled to a control system to detect operation and performance of the assembly, and related methods.

Abstract: A protective case for a mobile electronic device may comprise a first frame member, a second frame member, and a first lap joint configured for joining the first frame member to the second member. An aperture may extend through the first lap joint and a pin may be sized and configured for positioning within the aperture and locking the lap joint together. Additionally, an elastic material may be sized and configured for positioning between the pin and a wall defining a portion of the aperture, the elastic material being elastically compressed between the wall and the pin when the pin is positioned within the aperture.

Abstract: Barrier systems and associated methods, including vapor and/or fire barrier systems, are disclosed herein. One aspect of the invention is directed toward a barrier system that includes a barrier coupled to a spool, and a drive system. The barrier is positioned to be wound onto and off of the spool as the barrier moves between a deployed position and a retracted position by the drive assembly. The system further includes a clutch configured to resist movement of the barrier system unless directed by the drive system, and to release the barrier to allow manual egress when power to the drive system fails. The system further includes a latch configured to retain the barrier in a retracted position and to prevent the barrier from deploying when power fails and the clutch releases.

Abstract: A device and method for preventing the backflow of undesirable gases from being drawn up through a drain line into a room. The device is particularly useful in applications where liquid flow into the drain is infrequent, resulting in little or no liquid left standing in the P-trap to serve as a gas barrier. When installed the device prevents the unwanted backflow of sewer gases into the room above. However, if water or a similar liquid is introduced into the drain line, the device dissolves, thereby allowing the liquid to pass down the drain line.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for the application of protective films to electronic devices and a method for applying the same. The apparatus utilizes a base shoe and modular framing system that is adaptable for many devices and, when fitted with a device and installed in the shoe, precisely holds the device in a known location relative the shoe. Films are supplied on an application sheet and precisely positioned thereon in a manner such that the application sheet, when positioned on the shoe, holds the film in the exact location needed for quick and precise application of the film. The application sheet is pressed downwards against the device, successively from one edge to another, thereby the film to the device. The shoe features a raised head on a flexible arm, thus raising the film above the level of the device before application and allowing the sheet to be pressed into position.

Abstract: A system for controlling selection of filters for protecting against vulnerabilities of a computer network includes a vulnerability management system analyzes the computer network and determines network vulnerabilities for the computer network. The vulnerability management system is configured to receive real-time data on a status of filters protecting against vulnerabilities of the computer network. A database contains a pre-generated mapping of network vulnerabilities to filters for protecting against the network vulnerabilities. The vulnerability management system enables user control of filters for protecting against vulnerabilities of the computer network based upon the determined network vulnerabilities of the computer network, the pre-generated mapping of network vulnerabilities to the filters for protecting against the network vulnerabilities and the real-time data on the status of the filters.

Abstract: A management platform that allows security and compliance users to view risks and vulnerabilities in their environment with the added context of what other mitigating security countermeasures are associated with that vulnerability and that are applicable and/or available within the overall security architecture. Additionally, the platform allows users to take one or more actions from controlling the operation of a security countermeasure for mitigation purposes to documenting the awareness of a security countermeasure that is in place.
