Abstract: A desmodromic mechanism exhibits reciprocating motion of a pair of cam followers driven by a single cam. The mechanism is useful in a fuel pump that pressurizes a liquid for delivery to a fuel rail of a combustion engine. A desmodromic lever is symmetric about its rotational axis and maintains continuous contact between cam lobes and cam followers for the entirety of each rotational cycle. The mechanism is particularly useful in multi-piston pumps required to deliver higher than normal volumes of liquid fuel, as is the case with low energy density alternatives to diesel fuel.

Abstract: A “hierarchical symmetric key distribution” method, system, and apparatus (“HKDS”) is provided for a scalable and fundamentally secure solution for a security protocol for financial transactions, including the electronic payment industry. The security protocol can be used in conjunction with various message authentication code generators and extended output functions to derive unique symmetric keys which can be used to protect messaging and communications in the financial services industry. The security protocol, for example, provide a distributed key management protocol that generates unique transaction keys from a base terminal key, such that the terminal does not retain information that could be used to reconstruct the key once the transaction has been completed, the capture of the terminals state does not provide enough information to construct future derived keys, and the server can reconstruct the transaction key using a bonded number of cryptographic operations.

Abstract: Multi-tiered graphical user interface (GUI) systems and methods are described for interoperating between multiple mobile application modes during a real-time caregiving event. An expert GUI and a novice GUI are rendered having a an expert mode and an novice mode, respectively, that share a control state for passing operation between the expert mode and the novice mode. A triggering of a caregiving event is detected that causes the passing of the control state from the expert mode to the novice mode, and the rendering of a novice GUI in an interoperated sequence following rendering of the expert GUI. Caregiving data of a novice user is generated during the novice mode, wherein the novice GUI, as rendered during the novice mode, comprises a different interface compared with the expert GUI, and the novice GUI configured for manipulation by the novice user.

Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

Abstract: A valve assembly for a medical device including a container including a first region and a second region, a first fluid inlet fluidly coupled to the first region, a second fluid inlet fluidly coupled to the second region, and a piston assembly disposed within the container. The container is configured to house an agent within the second region, the first fluid inlet is configured to deliver a first portion of pressurized fluid to the first region at a first pressure level, and the second fluid inlet is configured to deliver a second portion of pressurized fluid to the second region at a second pressure level that is less than the first pressure level. The piston assembly includes a valve configured to move from a first position to a second position in response to the piston assembly moving relative to the container.

Abstract: Process vessels can contain one or more entry zones containing stability-improving materials. The entry zones address bed movement and filtration problems. The stability-improving material can be positioned above a treating zone or above a processing bed within the vessel. Entry Zones are intended to improve the stability of downstream operations.
