Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a new domain, such as a top-level domain or a second-level domain, make use of a Domain Manager that enables a user to enter data that is necessary or optional to implement the creation of a new domain. Systems such as, for example, a Registry and one or more Registrars, may use the data defined by the Domain Manager to create a new domain.

Abstract: A system for allocating domain name acquisition resources is provided. The system performs a method comprising: obtaining, at a database, a list of domain names that are to be deleted during a first time window; updating a drop catch table in the database, wherein the drop catch table comprises a second list of domain names that are to be deleted; refreshing a cache in an application server that provides DNS services based on the drop catch table; obtaining, at the application server, a EPP command from a registrar to register a domain name from the drop catch table that is about to be deleted during a second time window; determining, based on the cache, that the domain name to be registered is available to be registered; updating a flag for the domain name in the cache indicating that the domain name is registered; and providing an acknowledgment to the registrar.

Abstract: Provided is a method for providing Registration Data Access Protocol (“RDAP”) responses. The method includes obtaining, at a RDAP client over a network, a RDAP query for RDAP data from a user; providing, by the RDAP client, the RDAP query to one or more thick RDAP services; obtaining an answer to the RDAP query from the one or more thick RDAP services; and providing the answer to the user.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computing-implemented methods for performing and requesting registry operations using reseller profiles. A domain name registry can store or access associations between domain name reseller identifiers and domain name reseller profiles, and, based on receiving a domain name registry operation request from a domain name registrar that includes a domain name reseller identifier, applying domain name registry operation policies associated with the domain name reseller profile when performing registry operations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing DNSSEC signing are described in which digital signature operations may be performed by a network accessible signing server that is configured to interact with a separate client application. Exemplary methods may include receiving a signing request at the signing server from the client application to sign first data. The signing server may determine an active KSK and/or an active ZSK for the first data. The first data may then be transmitted by the signing server to a digital signature modules, which may include, for example, a hardware support module, or software signing applications. The signing server may receive a digitally signed version of the first data from the digital signature module, and provide the signed first data to the client application.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium, is described that enables a registry recovery service to retrieve zone files from a target registry, archive the zone files, publish the zone files to a managed DNS server, reconcile ownership of the zone files, and publish the zone files to a provisioning DNS server. The registry recovery service may also implement a WHOIS server for the zone and ownership information and may also implement zone specific features particular to the target registry's TLD. The registry recovery service may also enable DNSSEC extensions on the recovered registry DNS services.

Abstract: A locking device (40) including a first module (42) and a second module (44), one of the first module (42) and the second module (44) being attachable to a first face (22a) of a door panel (22) of an enclosure (10) to be locked and the other of the first module (42) and the second module (44) being attachable to a second face (22b) of a door panel (22) of an enclosure (10) to be locked, wherein the locking device (40) includes a mechanical locking mechanism (60) and an electronic locking mechanism (46).

Abstract: The present invention provides a fusion protein comprising a latency associated peptide (LAP), a pharmaceutically active agent and an amino acid sequence comprising a dimerisation domain, wherein the LAP and the pharmaceutically active agent are connected by an amino acid sequence comprising a proteolytic cleavage site. Also provided are nucleic acids enclosing such fusion proteins, process for their preparation, pharmaceutical compositions, kits and uses thereof in medicine.

Abstract: A switching mechanism for a vacuum cleaner having a vacuum generator and an agitator, comprising a vacuum generator switch, an agitator switch, and a coupler for coupling the agitator switch with the vacuum generator switch such that switching of the vacuum generator switch switches the agitator switch. The switching mechanism is configured such that, switching of at least one of the agitator switch and the vacuum generator switch uncouples the agitator switch from the vacuum generator switch. The switching mechanism is further configured such that, when the vacuum generator switch and the agitator switch are uncoupled from each other and the agitator switch is in its open state, switching of the vacuum generator switch from its closed state to its open state couples the agitator switch with the vacuum generator switch.

Abstract: System, apparatus, methods, and computer-readable medium for generating a verification code related to a registry operation request are provided. A verification process may be performed to determine if a verification request related to a registry operation is to be approved. If the request is to be approved, a verification code is generated that includes identifying information of a verification service provider and a code indicating that the request has been verified.

Abstract: An apparatus that accelerates curing of resin in a liner for a buried pipe includes a lining assembly connected to a pressurized fluid source. One embodiment includes an inversion cap having an inversion port, a curing port and a drainage port. The apparatus also includes a manifold having an outlet, a first inlet in valved fluid communication with a heated fluid source, a second inlet in valved fluid communication with a pressurized fluid source and a third inlet in valved fluid communication with the drainage port. While heated fluid enters the first end of the assembly via the manifold, a release fitting which allows fluids to escape through the second end thereof.

Abstract: A locking device (40) including a first module (42) and a second module (44), one of the first module (42) and the second module (44) being attachable to one of a body (12) of an enclosure (10) to be locked and the other of the first module (42) and the second module (44) being attachable to a door panel (22) of an enclosure (10) to be locked, wherein the locking device (40) includes a mechanical locking mechanism (60) and an electronic locking mechanism (46).
