Abstract: Examples provide a brake pedal assembly including a pedal housing, a bracket for securement within a vehicle, and a pedal arm having a proximal portion pivotally supported by the pedal housing and a distal portion including a foot pad spaced from the bracket. The pedal arm pivots from an unactuated position to a fully actuated position in response to application of a force to the foot pad. A pedal emulator system provides variable operator feedback as the pedal arm pivots in response to the application of force. The pedal emulator system includes a first spring set engaged with the pedal arm at the unactuated position and operable to bias the pedal arm toward the unactuated position, and a second spring set engaged with the pedal arm only after the pedal arm pivots from the unactuated position to a first intercept position between the unactuated and fully actuated positions.

Abstract: The present technology relates to the field of configuration and setup of encrypted computer network transmission systems. In particular, the present technology relates to setting up and configuring network encryption systems, including MACsec, Internet Protocol Security (IPsec), and TLS protocols, in heterogeneous networks over Wireless Area Networks (WAN), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) or cellular links. In some embodiments, the present technology includes a method for setting up, configuring, and monitoring of encryption equipment providing encrypted links over WAN connections (typically IPsec VPN gateways and clients or TLS applications). The method includes communicating with encryption and PKI equipment necessary to automate the generation of encryption keys, digital certificates, and digital certificate signing requests.

Abstract: The invention relates to improvements in substrates and in particular to new substrates having magnetic and visual security features, which provide security against imitation. A security substrate comprising a transparent polymer carrier layer bearing indicia formed from a plurality of opaque and non-opaque regions and a transparent magnetic layer supported by the carrier layer containing a distribution of particles of a hard magnetic material of a size and distributed in a concentration at which the magnetic layer remains transparent.

Abstract: An order entry system is described which displays items together with visual attributes that correspond to respective alerts. The visual attributes provide pre-selection guidance to a user in choosing from among the items without deluging the user with a cumbersome series of post-selection alerts. In one illustrative case, the items that are displayed correspond to drug-related items. In this case, one purpose of the order-entry system is to prescribe drug-related items to a patient.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and products are disclosed in which port type agnostic proxy support for web services intermediaries is provided generally by receiving in a web services intermediary a request for execution of a web services operation, wherein the request includes parametric information from which an endpoint for a target service that supports the operation can be identified; identifying, in dependence upon the parametric data, the endpoint for a target service that supports the operation; determining whether the request requires a synchronous response; creating a target service request for execution of the operation on the target service; issuing the target service request to the target service; and waiting for a response from the target service if the request requires a synchronous response.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for updating computer configuration settings. The method involves a client establishing a communications link with a network service provider. The network service provider determines the optimal configuration settings for the client. The client then receives the optimal configuration settings from the service provider, and stores the optimal configuration settings for subsequent use. Also disclosed is a method in which the configuration settings include telephone numbers through which the client communicates with the service provider. Finally, methods are disclosed in which the optimal configuration settings are determined using combinations of the client's telephone number along with the location, cost, and/or capacity of service provider access numbers.

Abstract: A water turbine (1) comprises a turbine chamber (3), an inlet port (4) and an outlet port (6) opening into the chamber (3), and two or more rotors (11, 12) arranged within the chamber (3) with their axes of rotation parallel so as to be rotatable in the water flow passing between the inlet port (4) and the outlet port (6). Each of the rotors (11, 12) has two or more substantially equi-angularly distributed lobes (17, 18), and the arrangement is such that the rotors (11, 12) rotate in opposite directions with their lobes in mesh with one another under the action of water impinging on the lobes of the rotors. Such a turbine can be constructed to operate efficiently with a low head of water, and is additionally of simple construction and therefore inexpensive to produce.
