Abstract: Conventionally, a custom solution must be built for the integration of secrets stored in a secrets manager. Embodiments integrate secrets using an integration process that retrieves a secret from the secrets manager, marks the secret so that it can be appropriately handled, and stores the secret within a container-level environment extension, such that the secret can be utilized by other integration processes within the same runtime container. For enhanced security, the secret is always encrypted within communications and when at rest (e.g., within the environment extension).

Abstract: An encoder reset device and method that allows for an encoder to be automatically reset without operator intervention. A reset device of the present invention includes a microprocessor-based controller and associated programming for operating the reset device. As part of the automatic reset process, a reset device of the present invention is able to perform the connector pin jumpering necessary to resetting many encoders.

Abstract: A pair of pants has a stretchable fly panel section with a laterally extending reinforcement that functions to limit the stretching of the upper edge of the stretchable section. The reinforcement is preferably a hem along the upper border of the fly panel, which can be advantageously sewn to adjacent side panels. In preferred embodiments the fly panel is in a pair of shorts, and most preferably in a pair of board shorts.
