Abstract: Systems and methods for tokenizing data in a public cloud are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a method may include: (1) receiving, at a tokenization service in a public cloud and from a client application, source data associated with one of a plurality of namespaces; (2) generating, by the tokenization service, a token for the source data according to a token format rule, wherein the token format rule specifies one or more digit in the token format that are reserved; (3) encrypting, by the tokenization service, the source data; (4) associating, by the tokenization service, the token with the encrypted source data; (5) persisting, by the tokenization service, the association between the token and the encrypted source data in a token table in the public cloud; and (6) providing, by the tokenization service, the token to the client application.

Abstract: A networked system having a wide variety of applications and particularly applicable to facilities management systems has multiple levels of software in processing nodes. The levels include a "features" processing level which communicates requests for data to a software object level containing databases of processes and attributes and database managers. The database managers in the software object level operate to provide data to the high level features in the same format. The software object level communicates with a hardware object level which also contains databases and database managers to mask differences between operational hardware units. By categorizing operational units by type, additional units of a known type can be added with only low level hardware object database changes. Adding units of a new type is facilitated by software changes confined to the lower level hardware and software objects, avoiding software changes at high level features.

Abstract: A network system having a wide variety of applications and particularly applicable to facilities management systems includes network controllers which continuously process data related to building and industrial, environmental, security and other automated system controls. Each network controller has a network address indicative of a communication link to which the network controller is connected, a local address and a node drop ID to determine whether the network controller is a configured or non-configured device. Data stored in an archive device is downloaded to a destination network controller in the absence of a routing table in the destination network controller by transmitting a download request message from the archive device to an intermediate network controller with a routing table. The intermediate network controller assumes control of the download request by transmitting the message to the destination controller.

Abstract: This is a method, and apparatus for performing the method, by which artificial stream conditions are generated within the forebay of dams used for hydroelectric facilities. The method includes the introduction into the reservoir at the appropriate depth of an artificial stream condition to attract downstream migrating fish and to then divert them into a generally nonvisible (at its inception) conduit with a gradually reducing interior section until such time as the fish are brought into an increased stream flow from which they cannot retreat. The fish are then carried by conduit around or in other manner bypassing the dam and the electrical generating turbines or the like to a point downstream from the dam where they are released into the stream.
