Patent number: 9231933Abstract: In general, the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods, systems, and program products for providing access to secured resources. A token providing system stores a primary authentication token that is used to obtain temporary authentication tokens. The token providing system provides, to application programs that are unable to access the primary authentication token, the temporary authentication tokens. The token providing system receives, from a first application program of the application programs, a first request to obtain a first temporary authentication token. The first request does not include the primary authentication token. The token providing system transmits a second request to obtain the first temporary authentication token. The second request includes the primary authentication token.

Publication number: 20120228864Abstract: The wheel tracks (see FIG. 6) of a self propelled center pivot irrigation system can be moved by using the natural movement of the center pivot. This is accomplished by locking the primary pivot point (see FIG. 1) and unlocking the offset secondary pivot point (see FIGS. 7,8) and allowing the natural movement of a center pivot to rotate the top elbow of the offset secondary pivot point. Once the top elbow of the offset secondary pivot point reaches the desired setting (see FIGS. 7,8) the offset secondary pivot point can be locked and the primary pivot point unlocked. This will allow normal center pivot operation with the drive units (see FIG. 2) running on a new track.

Patent number: 8250909Abstract: A pressure measuring device suitable for disposition in a chamber of an internal combustion engine. The pressure measuring device has a housing, a force transmitting element that is effectively connected to a pressure sensor, and a sensor cage that surrounds the pressure sensor. The sensor cage is connected to the housing by a circumferential weld seam only at one connection segment of the housing. In this way, it is possible to achieve a defined pre-tensioning of a metal diaphragm that is connected on the one hand to the sensor cage and on the other hand to the force transmitting element.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2007Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignees: Robert Bosch GmbH, Kistler Holding AGInventors: Christoph Kern, Reinhold Hess, Reiko Zach, Michael Kleindl, Peter Wolfer, Steffen Schott, Claudio Cavalloni, Pavlo Saltikov, Michael Mueller, Andrea Bertola
