Abstract: The claimed subject matter includes techniques for application management including a managed application storefront module to return an access mechanism for a subset of purchasable applications to a storefront based on user information. An example system can also include a recording module to store usage information for the subset of purchasable applications accessed from the storefront. The usage information can include the user information, organization information, and an application version for each of the subset of purchasable applications accessed by the user. Another example system can include an administrative module to regulate access of the user, based on information recorded by the recording module, to a purchasable application of the subset of purchasable applications. In an example, this application management system, and its related techniques, can be used in ground up trial of applications by a large number of users, such as employees.

Abstract: A modular shelter and anchoring system for anchoring to an immovable object such as the ground, a concrete slab or a wall. The container includes a steel reinforced container body and door, and a connection structure for anchoring the container body on the immovable object.

Abstract: An automated, replicable, process-based original concept that may provide a self-validating, defined quantification of the relevance of one or more active physical efforts performed by a real-life golfer, the real-life golfer engaging in at least one real-life play on a golf ball on a golf course with a predefined traditional point value for certain plays.

Abstract: An automated, replicable, process-based original concept that provides a self-validating, defined quantification of the relevance of a series of plays of two or more different competing real-life football teams engaged in a real-life American-style football contest or its adaptations resulting in a traditionally defined winner and loser.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed to communicate, from a first device to a wireless device, information by which the wireless device may identify an access point as a potential network device. The information is encoded in a packet stream by the first device, and wirelessly communicated from the access point to the wireless device. The information may be encoded by varying a packet characteristic, such as packet length, that is preserved even if the packets are encoded by the access point. The information may include a beacon, a SSID and/or a key.

Abstract: A cover for use with an elongated opening associated with a transportable barge. The cover includes a number of inter-engageable cover sections, each exhibiting a plasticized construction and extending in both widthwise and lengthwise fashion relative to an upper lip edge defining an open perimeter of the barge. Each cover section exhibits pairs of opposing lifting eyes and associated locking pins, these being defined along outer extending side edge locations of each cover section and is adapted to securing the cover section upon the barge perimeter defining edge. Each cover further includes a four point locking and unlocking feature activated by a lift handle for selectively opening a cargo carrying interior associated with the barge. A plurality of structurally strengthening trusses are also incorporated into each individually assemble-able barge section in combination with an in molded ladder associated with each end wall section.
