Abstract: A portable oxygen concentrator includes a compressor and a controller. The compressor includes a motor, at least one chamber, and at least one piston operably coupled to the motor and movable within the at least one chamber. In some embodiments, the controller is configured to: determine actual motor speeds for commutations steps of the motor during a first rotational cycle; determine an average motor speed during the first rotational cycle; determine a voltage pattern based at least on a comparison of the average motor speed during the first rotational cycle and the actual motor speeds for the commutation steps of the motor during the first rotational cycle; and cause the voltage pattern to be applied to the motor during a second rotational cycle to reduce differences between applied motor torque and variable torque load imparted by the at least one piston.

Abstract: A traffic management device (TMD), system, and processor-readable storage medium directed towards re-establishing an encrypted connection of an encrypted session, the encrypted connection having initially been established between a client device and a first server device, causing the encrypted connection to terminate at a second server device. As described, a traffic management device (TMD) is interposed between the client device and the first server device. In some embodiments, the TMD may request that the client device renegotiate the encrypted connection. The TMD may redirect the response to the renegotiation request towards a second server device, such that the renegotiated encrypted connection is established between the client device and the second server device.

Abstract: An armature assembly comprising an armature body and a number of armature ring segments mounted on the armature body, wherein the armature assembly comprises a number of insertion interface elements and a number of complementary receiving interface elements for mounting an armature ring segment onto the armature body; whereby an insertion interface element is realized to engage with a complementary receiving interface element in a direction essentially parallel to a rotation axis of the armature; and wherein an insertion interface element is formed as an integral part of the armature body or as an integral part of an armature ring segment. A method of assembling an armature is also described, and a wind turbine comprising such an armature assembly is provided.

The TMD may redirect the response to the renegotiation request towards a second server device, such that the renegotiated encrypted connection is established between the client device and the second server device. In this way, a single existing end-to-end encrypted connection can be used to serve content from more than one server device.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to risk assessments and, more particularly to performing access risk assessments based on identified outliers.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to risk review assessments and, more particularly to determining risk review candidates by identifying two or more community categories, determining risk scores for each user/employee across risk categories, normalizing the risk scores based on community averages and community standard deviations and determining risk review candidates by comparing the normalized risk scores to predetermined thresholds. In additional embodiments, an outlier reinforcement score for each user/employee by summing all of the positive-valued normalized risk scores across the two or more communities and comparing the outlier reinforcement score to a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: An apparatus for shrinking a heat-shrinkable film around a product. The apparatus has a first heating stage which heats a portion of the underside of the package to properly position the shrink film and a second heating stage which further shrinks the film. Side heating jets can optionally be used to heat the sides of the package between the first and second heating stages. The top of the package can also be heated after the second heating stage.
