  • Publication number: 20210123205
    Abstract: A locking assembly is provided for a cover. The cover is a substantially rigid cover configured to close off an opening to a void, said void bounded by a side wall. The cover defines a top side and an opposed underside. The locking assembly includes a mounting arrangement mountable to the underside. A link is pivotally connected to the mounting arrangement. The link defines a first end and a second, free end. A locking member is carried by the second, free end of the link. The locking member frictionally engages the side wall of the void in a locking position, in use. An actuating member connects to the link and is accessible via the top side. The actuating member displaces the link relative to the mounting arrangement to cause the locking member to frictionally disengage from the side wall of the void to a disengaged position.

  • Publication number: 20210117547
    Abstract: A computer implemented method for scanning source code files included in an application. A source code scanner identifies an assembly generated from a set of source code files. The assembly comprises assembly code and assembly metadata. The source code scanner identifies a file path for each source code file identified from the assembly. The file path is identified within the assembly metadata. Responsive to identifying the file paths from the assembly metadata, the source code scanner identifies the set of source code files within a code repository. The source code scanner scans the set of source code files to identify potential code vulnerabilities in the set of source code files. The scan omits files in the code repository that were not identified within the assembly metadata.

  • Patent number: 10464372
    Abstract: A lock ring spreader is capable of being mounted to a lock ring having a first end and a second end. The lock ring spreader comprises a first mount that is mountable to the lock ring near the first end of the lock ring and a second mount that is mountable to the lock ring near the second end of the lock ring. A crank arm is pivotally coupled to the first mount and extends radially outward from the first mount relative to the lock ring. A link arm is pivotally coupled to the second mount and the crank arm, and extends radially outward from the second mount relative to the lock ring. Pivoting the crank arm radially inward relative to the lock ring pivots the link arm relative to the crank arm and expands the distance between the first mount and the second mount.

  • Publication number: 20190050201
    Abstract: A configurable data stream aggregation system and method that enables formatting, processing, and aggregation of incoming streams of data is disclosed herein. The system receives one or more streams of incoming data and determines their format (data stream definition). The system also determines the data stream definition of the output stream of data. Based on the input stream definition and the output stream definition, the system selects one or more data operations that will be used to generate the measure/aggregate values in the output stream. The selected data operations are then executed on the input data streams to generate one or more measures/aggregates of the output data stream(s) in the output stream format(s). The output data stream(s) can then be streamed to one or more systems (internal or external).

  • Publication number: 20180158087
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for dynamic scan code generation are provided. For example, a meta tag, comprising a user identifier of a user and a promotion code for a consumer good, is extracted from information associated with the user, such as from an email sent to the user. When a current location of a computing device of the user is within a threshold distance of a consumer good location that sells the consumer good, a scan code is dynamically generated based upon the user identifier and the promotion code. A notification of the promotion code, a description of the consumer good location, and/or other information is provided to the user such as through a push notification. The scan code is displayed through the computing device for applying the promotion code to a purchase from the consumer good location for the consumer good.

  • Publication number: 20180095773
    Abstract: A method of automatically identifying state information in different middlebox programs first identifies relevant program portions by expanding outward from a packet processing loop to statements dependent either by control or data dependency on that packet processing loop. Persistent variables in the statements are then collected and optionally winnowed by whether they are “used” or modified by those statements. The identified state variables may be segregated according to flow-spaces and/or output function so that a request for state data may be tailored precisely to the necessary state data greatly reducing network burden in state data transfer.
