  • Patent number: 11962135
    Abstract: A splice clip for coupling discrete sections of a wire mesh cable tray. The splice clip can include a bolt with a base, a first ledge, and a second ledge opposing the first ledge. The base and the first and second ledges can define a passageway along the bolt. The splice clip can also include a retainer with a set of pockets, including a first pocket and a second pocket, and a set of guidance features configured to translate within the passageway to guide the bolt along and in engagement with the retainer. The first pocket can be configured to receive a first wire of a first discrete cable tray section and the second pocket can be configured to receive a second wire of a second discrete cable tray section. The bolt can be movable along the retainer between an open position and a closed position.

  • Publication number: 20240118783
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for accessing modes of operation and techniques for providing an alarm interface for electronic devices. In some embodiments, a device detects that a battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in a predefined orientation. In accordance with the detection that the battery is being charged and that the device is oriented in the predefined orientation, the device activates a predefined mode of operation. In some embodiments, a device displays a first user interface object in a first color, and, at a predetermined time, the device displays the first user interface object in a second color and displays an option for dismissing an alarm, wherein the option for dismissing is displayed as a second user interface object located at a portion of a display of the device proximate to a hardware button of the device.

  • Publication number: 20240116159
    Abstract: A tool system for installing a parking pawl includes a tool that includes a base, a plate, and an actuator. The base includes a base surface configured to support a parking pawl in a predetermined position. The plate includes a protrusion that extends upward from a front portion of the plate. A rear portion of the plate is coupled to a front portion of the base. The plate is movable relative to the base between a retention position in which the protrusion is positioned to retain a pawl spring loaded on the parking pawl in a pretensioned state, and a release position in which the protrusion is configured to release the pawl spring. The actuator is operably coupled to the plate such that activation of the actuator moves the plate between the retention position and the release position.

  • Patent number: 11941223
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to retrieving and displaying contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives a request to display contextually-relevant media and, in response, displays a representation of a collection of media items relevant to a context of the device. In some embodiments, a device displays a visual media item of a sequence of items and, in response to receiving a swipe gesture, displays a detail user interface comprising related content for the media item. In some embodiments, a device, while displaying a first detail user interface, displays an affordance corresponding to a plurality of individuals identified as having attended a first event, that when selected, causes display of visual media corresponding to a plurality of events attended by the individuals. In some embodiments, a device, in response to user input, obtains an automatically-generated collection of visual media and displays a corresponding affordance.

  • Patent number: 11927090
    Abstract: A horizontal directional drilling method includes operation of a HDD machine to power a drill string terminating at a drill head to create an underground borehole extending at least partially horizontally between an entry point and an exit point. A utility line and a pair of insulated wires are attached to the drill string at the exit point. An observation device is also attached to the drill string, and the observation device is connected with an uphole module via power line communication (PLC) over the pair of insulated wires. The horizontal directional drilling machine performs a pullback of the drill string, with the utility line, the pair of insulated wires, and the observation device connected thereto, back toward the entry point. Data from the observation device are displayed on the uphole module during pullback of the drill string.

  • Patent number: 11922004
    Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.

  • Publication number: 20230403323
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to a CI replication service that can replicate domain data from IDCS control plane to data plane and to all subscribed regions of a domain. For instance, the CI replication service can provide replication of required resources of a domain for AuthN and AuthZ from an IDCS local region to other regions for high availability (e.g., to improve latency). The CI replication service can replicate the resources from a domain's home region to all subscribed regions for local availability of data for workloads running in those regions. Further, when a new region is subscribed for a domain, then the service can bootstrap that domain's data from home region before enabling that region for the domain.

  • Publication number: 20230113325
    Abstract: Described herein is a framework for generating an integrated identity and access management (IAM) system from a first IAM system and a second IAM system that is different than the first IAM system. The integrated IAM system is generated by: (i) creating a domain in a customer tenancy associated with the first IAM system, and (ii) embedding an identity provider of the second IAM system within the domain. The integrated IAM system receives a request from a user to perform an operation with respect to resource associated with the second IAM system. Upon the user being successfully authenticated by the integrated IAM system, the request is executed.

  • Publication number: 20230109109
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for granting an application of a first type of identity system, which uses a first type of identity token, access to a second type of identity system, which uses a second type of identity token. An application can make a request to a token exchange system. The request can include a bearer token and a public key of the application. The token exchange system can exchange the bearer token for a Proof-of-Possession token after performing verification steps. A token exchange system can exchange the first token (e.g., bearer token) for the first identity system for the second token (e.g., Proof-of-Possession token) for the second identity system without requiring entry of credentials to access the second identity system.

  • Publication number: 20230094990
    Abstract: A framework for migrating a customer tenancy from a first identity and access management (TAM) system to a second IAM system. A first snapshot of the customer tenancy is obtained from a first data storage. The first snapshot is processed and migrated to the second IAM system. A second snapshot of the customer tenancy is obtained from a second data storage and migrated to the second IAM system. A state of a lock associated with the second data storage is modified, where after a third snapshot of the customer tenancy is obtained from the second data storage and migrated to the second IAM system. Responsive to the third snapshot being migrated, directing a request regarding the customer tenancy to the second IAM system.
