Abstract: A storage container includes an elastomeric base having a plurality of side walls forming an interior and an opening at an upper edge of the base. The base has an annular channel positioned proximate the opening at the upper edge of the base. An inner insert is removably positionable in the opening of the base, the inner insert having an outward facing annular protrusion configured for insertion in the annular channel of the base, and a spout with a channel formed therethrough. At least a portion of the spout has external threading. An outer cap is positionable over the inner insert and has an opening for receiving the spout. A screw cap includes internal threading configured for rotational engagement with the external threading of the spout, wherein rotation of screw cap compresses at least a portion of the base between the inner insert and the outer cap.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, a virtual private network (VPN) connection is established between a client device and an authentication service. Then a request is received from a third-party application on the client device, with the request being for a third-party service. A log-in page is requested from the third-party service, with the log-in page including one or more log-in fields usable to enter credential information. The log-in page is then modified to hide the one or more log-in fields. Credentials corresponding to a user of the client device and also corresponding to the third-party service are then obtained. The modified log-in page is sent to the client device via the VPN connection. A log-in submission is received from the third-party application. The credentials corresponding to the user and to the third-party service are sent to the third-party service to log-in the user to the third-party service.

Abstract: An engine includes a cylinder head having a first face defining an entrance to an intake port, and an intake manifold having a second face defining an outlet from a runner. The first and second faces mate to fluidly connect the entrance and the outlet, and an area mismatch or offset exists between the entrance and the outlet. A tongue is positioned into the intake port to extend over a floor of the intake port and has an area substantially equal to a difference between the entrance area and the outlet area. The tongue maintains in-charge motion and mixing of intake gases in-cylinder in the engine.

Abstract: The present application relates to a computer having a processor configured to execute a set of instructions to render a customised version of a restricted document object model. A restricted element in a document object model is identified and at least one rule associated with the restricted element is accessed. The at least one rule is applied to the restricted element to generate a modified document object model which is then rendered. A related computer-implemented method is also covered by the present application. The present application relates to server-side authentication techniques; content filtering based on user-specific and context-based requirements; and audit trail techniques.
