Abstract: A method of determining any offset between: a scale axis of a disc scale member having a planar surface on which is provided a series of scale features defining a scale that extends and is centred around the scale axis, the scale axis extending normal to the planar surface; and the axis of rotation of a machine part on which the disc scale member is mounted, wherein the axis of rotation and the scale axis of the disc scale member are substantially parallel. The method includes: determining any offset between the scale axis and the axis of rotation via inspection of an axially-extending surface provided with the disc scale member.

Abstract: An account protection service to prevent user login or other protected endpoint request abuse. In one embodiment, the service collects user recognition data, preferably for each login attempt (e.g. data about the connection, session, and other relevant context), and it constructs a true user profile for each such user over time, preferably using the recognition data from successful logins. The profile evolves as additional recognition data is collected from successful logins. The profile is a model of what the user “looks like” to the system. For a subsequent login attempt, the system then calculates a true user score. This score represents how well the current user recognition data matches the model represented by the true user profile. The user recognition service is used to drive policy decisions and enforcement capabilities. Preferably, user recognition works in association with bot detection in a combined solution.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for providing secure access to an asset, for example, in the form of a cryptographic key needed to perform cryptographic operations, such as signing transactions of digital assets. The system makes use of three interrelated data objects; a policy object that defines access control rules, one or more online vault objects that are linked to the policy object, and one or more assets that are linked to one of the vault objects. The policy object and the assets are all created in a cold storage environment, with their integrity being protected using a key-based cryptographic technique. The vault object is created in an online environment, wherein a cryptographic hash is used to generate a vault ID, with specific data fields within the vault object being used as inputs to the hash function.

Abstract: Embodiments of a pressure switch assembly having a quick connect capillary tube are disclosed. One embodiment, among others, has an elongated cylindrical capillary tube for attachment to a refrigeration line so that refrigeration fluid pressure in the refrigeration line can be sensed. A quick connect coupling is connected to the shutoff valve. A shutoff valve is designed to open and close fluid communication between the capillary tube and the quick connect coupling when the quick connect coupling is coupled and decoupled, respectively. A switch body is connected to the quick connect coupling and has first and second electrical connections. The switch body has an internal on/off switch designed to electrically connect and electrically disconnect the first and second electrical connections based upon a predetermined set point of pressure associated with refrigeration fluid that is in communication with the switch body.

Abstract: A process for extracting uranium from an acidic uranium, chloride, iron and sulphate containing solution, including the steps: a. contacting the solution with an organic phase containing a trialkylphosphine oxide to form a uranium loaded organic phase; b. scrubbing the uranium loaded organic phase to remove any impurities and form a scrubbed organic phase; c. stripping the scrubbed organic phase with an acidic sulphate solution to produce an aqueous uranium strip solution; and precipitating a uranium product from the aqueous uranium strip solution.

Abstract: A cloud-based firewall system and service is provided to protect customer sites from attacks, leakage of confidential information, and other security threats. In various embodiments, such a firewall system and service can be implemented in conjunction with a content delivery network (CDN) having a plurality of distributed content servers. The CDN servers receive requests for content identified by the customer for delivery via the CDN. The CDN servers include firewalls that examine those requests and take action against security threats, so as to prevent them from reaching the customer site. The CDN provider implements the firewall system as a managed firewall service, with the operation of the firewalls for given customer content being defined by that customer, independently of other customers. In some embodiments, a customer may define different firewall configurations for different categories of that customer's content identified for delivery via the CDN.

Abstract: Websites and website users are subject to an increasing array of online threats and attacks. Disclosed herein are, among other things, approaches for protecting websites and website users from online threats. For example, a content server, such as a proxying content delivery network (CDN) server that is delivering content on behalf of an origin server, can modify URLs as they pass through the content server to obscured values that are given to the end-user client browser. The end-user browser can use the obscured URL to obtain content from the content server, but the URL may be valid only for a limited time, and may be invalid for obtaining content from the origin. Hence, information is hidden from the client, making attacks against the website more difficult and frustrating client-end malware that leverages knowledge of browsed URLs.

Abstract: A photosensitive resin composition comprising a pre-imidized aromatic polyimide, which when coated on a silicon wafer, has a light transmittance at a wavelength of 365 nm of at least 1% and imparts low residual stress after cure. The composition can be patterned through I-line exposure followed by development with organic or alkaline solutions, and can be cured at relatively mild temperature to yield low-stress polyimide patterns. Electronic components having the polyimide patterns have high reliability.

Abstract: Water absorption resistant polyimide/epoxy-based compositions, like pastes (or solutions), are particularly useful to make electronic screen-printable materials and electronic components. A group of hydrophobic epoxies (and soluble polyimides) was discovered to be particularly resistant to moisture absorption. The polyimide/epoxy pastes made with these epoxies (and these polyimides) may optionally contain thermal crosslinking agents, adhesion promoting agents, blocked isocyanates, and other inorganic fillers. The polyimide/epoxy pastes of the present invention can have a glass transition temperature greater than 250° C., a water absorption factor of less than 2%, and a positive solubility measurement.
