Abstract: Techniques for distributed offload leveraging different offload devices are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system, process, and/or computer program product for distributed offload leveraging different offload devices includes receiving a flow at a firewall of a security service (e.g., a cloud-based security service); inspecting the flow at the firewall to determine meta information associated with the flow; and offloading the flow to an offload entity (e.g., a SmartNIC, software executed on a Network Interface Card (NIC), and/or a network device, such as a network router and/or network switch) based on the meta information associated with the flow (e.g., an application identification associated with the flow determined using deep packet inspection) and based on a policy.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatus and methods for distributing beer from a keg to a plurality of destinations. Beer is received from the keg through a coupler and divided to a plurality of branches that may be opened with by valves.

Abstract: A jam nut apparatus for fastening to a threaded end of a bolt to secure the bolt where the threaded end has first handed threads includes a locking nut having an internal nut passageway with nut internal threads, the nut passageway having a first passageway end with an inwardly extending locking flange, a bolt end cap having a tubular cap side wall, the cap side wall having an open end with a locking edge and an inner surface with first handed internal threads, for engagingly receiving the threaded end of the bolt, the cap also having an outer surface with second handed external threads opposite to the first handed thread direction, external threads onto which the locking nut threads engagingly fasten, where the locking nut threads are oriented in the second handed direction.

Abstract: A locking bolt apparatus includes a bolt having a fastening end with a circumferential channel around the fastening end, a bolt lock assembly including a cylindrical sleeve for receiving the fastening end of the bolt, the cylindrical sleeve having a pin slot angled with respect to the cylindrical sleeve longitudinal axis, a locking pin in the slot oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical sleeve and having two ends extending beyond the slot, the pin positioned to laterally enter the circumferential channel, and an annular release member, slidably encircling the cylindrical sleeve, for engaging the two ends of the pin and pushing the pin out of the slot and out of the channel to release the bolt.
