Abstract: Systems and methods for device identification for management and policy in the cloud, using a combination of several hardware parameters and user's identification to generate a unique identifier for a user device and associated user. IOCTL and Assembly can be used to get the different hardware parameters. All the hardware parameters can then run through a process to generate a fixed size hardware fingerprint. A base64 encoding can be performed to convert it into a string, for consumption of database. The resultant identifier is unique and it is never stored on machine. The application can simply generate it whenever needed. The resultant identifier can used by a service provider to uniquely identify the device even when the device is moving hands or locations. The resultant identifier is never stored, so moving data from one device to another will not result in the same identifier for two devices.

The valance body may include a first valance body portion and a second valance body portion, with the body portions configured to be coupled together via a joint defined between the body portions in the lengthwise direction across the length of the headrail (e.g., a width of the architectural opening) to form the complete valance body structure.

Abstract: A coupling to connect a pipe end portion to another pipe end portion or to a valve or other fitting wherein the pipe end portion includes a circumferential shoulder includes a flange around an opening into the coupling through which the end portion of the pipe including the circumferential shoulder can be inserted into the coupling. A wheel with a radial channel therein is rotatably mounted on the flange with the flange received in the radial channel which is wide enough to also receive wedge members therein alongside the flange. Once the pipe end with the shoulder is received in the coupling, wedge members are inserted into the radial channel through a cut opening in a portion of the wheel to extend into and reduce the diameter of the opening to hold the shoulder in the coupling. A seal is provided in the coupling to seal the coupling against leakage.
