  • Publication number: 20230151914
    Abstract: A tensioner may assist in coupling two pipe flanges. The tensioner may include a body and a piston. The body may include a central longitudinal axis, a pair of fastener holes extending through the body in a direction parallel to the central longitudinal axis, and a piston housing having an inner bore disposed about the central longitudinal axis. The piston housing may be provided between the pair of fastener holes. An axial end of the piston housing may define a distal end of the body. The piston may be at least partially disposed in the inner bore of the piston housing. The piston may be axially moveable parallel to the central longitudinal axis through an opening of the inner bore at the distal end of the body.

  • Patent number: 9811675
    Abstract: Generating a modified protected file is disclosed, including: renaming a primary content object of a protected file; and creating a modified protected file based at least in part by inserting into the protected file a replacement object for the renamed primary content object. Using the modified protected file is disclosed, including: determining that a file includes a renamed primary content object; and redirecting a data access operation to the renamed primary content object.

  • Patent number: 9350735
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for context-based dynamic information rights management (IRM) in a cloud-based document management environment. A system may include a document server configured to store a plurality of documents. The document server is coupled to an information rights server and a plurality of client computer systems via a network. One or more of the document server and the information rights server may be cloud-based. The information rights for a document stored in the document server may be determined by the information rights server based on context parameters associated with a request to download the document from the document server.

  • Patent number: 9275233
    Abstract: Generating a modified protected file is disclosed, including: creating a modified protected file at least in part by embedding a protected file into an at least partially unprotected file; and modifying a set of content type information included in the at least partially unprotected file to include a content type associated with the protected file as embedded. Using the modified protected file is disclosed, including: receiving, using a processor, a data access operation to an at least partially unprotected file; determining that the at least partially unprotected file includes a portion associated with a content type associated with embedded protected content; and redirecting the data access operation to the portion of the at least partially unprotected file associated with the content type associated with embedded protected content.

  • Patent number: 8526666
    Abstract: Methods and systems for rendering watermarks in a computer system are provided. One technique renders a content unit based on a call from an application, and renders a watermark for the content based on a call from a tool separate from the application. Another technique for rendering a watermark for content displayed on a display screen renders the content via a content window on the display, and renders the watermark via another window on the display that overlays at least a portion of the content window.

  • Patent number: 8321947
    Abstract: A dynamic watermarking capability is implemented in an enterprise rights management (ERM) or similar system that comprises a central server to which end user client machines are connectable. The central server has a database in which watermark definitions created by authorized entities are centrally stored. An end user client machine is provided with a client component that typically includes wrapper code, and watermarking rendering code. The wrapper and rendering code are instantiated when a given calling application is started, or when the application initiates a given rendering function such as a print or display operation. When the calling application begins the rendering operation, the wrapper code intercepts a given rendering function call, connects to the central server and then retrieves a watermark definition. Alternatively, the watermark definition is retrieved when a document to be rendered is first accessed on the client machine.

  • Publication number: 20070221743
    Abstract: At least one method for indicating a weather condition includes indexing a storm based on two or more parameters. One of the parameters is a travel speed of the storm and a second parameter is a location of the storm. The method further includes providing a time before the storm impacts a recipient based on the travel speed of the storm and a track distance to the recipient location. The method further includes delivering the time before the storm impacts the location to the recipient.
