  • Patent number: 11916962
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples related to data driven interfaces for decoupling management system components from a manufacturer or a platform of client devices managed by the management system. In some examples, among others, a system can generate a data driven interface template that can be used to cause rendering of a data driven user interface for configuring a profile payload of a device profile for the client device. The system can generate, based on values associated with the data driven user interface, a profile document in an instance in which values are obtained from the data driven user interface. In some aspects, the profile document is a generic representation of the profile payloads for the platform, the manufacturer or the type of the client device.

  • Publication number: 20220117231
    Abstract: A composition including (a) at least one (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T), where the (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) is one of N-n-butylthiophosphoric acid triamide (NBPT) and N-n-propylthiophosphoric acid triamide (NPPT), and (b) at least one specific herbicide.

  • Patent number: 4122301
    Abstract: A multipoint junction unit at a hub office interconnects a main line and a plurality of branch lines, the main line extending to a control station and the branch lines extending to data station line loops, to downstream local offices and to a main line of a multipoint junction unit in a downstream hub office. Normally, the junction unit broadcasts downstream data to all branches and combines upstream data from the branches for propagation up the main line. When a branch line is to be tested, test equipment connected to the upstream main line sends an address sequence to select an upstream branch and, if required, a second sequence to select a downstream branch, whereupon unselected branches are blocked and the selected branches are unblocked to permit passage of upstream and downstream data. The selected branch may thereafter be removed from the network by a "blocking" sequence which blocks the selected branch and restores all unselected branches.

  • Patent number: 3990367
    Abstract: A typical end fitting arrangement includes a sleeve-like bearing member riving an end of the explosive cord and a coupling member, such as a threaded nut, slipped axially over the cord into a fixed position relative to the sleeve. To securely bind together the cord and the sleeve, a void is provided radially inwardly of the nut and a thermosetting material is directly injected into the void to flow over and around the components. Upon hardening, all components are locked together as an integral body. The injected material further provides a significantly-improved, hermetic seal. Special thermosetting materials having short glass fiber fillers are used to assure load-bearing strength.
