Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. The method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on a client; retrieving reputation data associated with the host name from a local cache on the client; determining a policy for the host name, which is associated with the host name and the reputation data associated with the host name; based on the determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to the host name; sending at least attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on the client; and transmitting the attempted network flow metadata in the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel.

Abstract: A table carries guides for receiving and guiding a heat pipe. The heat pipe has a fill port which contains a valve. The heat pipe is thrust against the seal face of a block for evacuating and filling the fluid chamber of the heat pipe. A hex driver passes through the block and engages the valve to open and close the valve while the fill port is sealed from the atmosphere.

Abstract: A method for measuring the thickness of a refractory laid-up against the interior surface of the steel shell of a metallurgical apparatus includes placing at least one monitoring device in a critical wear area of the apparatus in a manner such that the free end of the device is at a known distance from the hot face of the refractory and the confined end extends beyond the outer surface of the steel shell. The device is connected to an electronic time-domain reflectometer by electrical connecting means. Timed pulses are generated and impressed in the device by the instrument and reflections of the pulses are received by and are visually displayed on the reflectometer. The length of the device appears on the display as a straight line bounded by two inflections. The straight line is indicative of the thickness of the refractory.The device includes a metallic conductor coaxial with an outer metallic sheath and separated therefrom by a refractory having a desired dielectric constant.

Abstract: A dry-nozzle gunning refractory composition consisting essentially of magnesia grains from crushed used refractory bricks, sodium bentonite clay, and a binder consisting essentially of a mixture of anhydrous sodium silicate particles and hydrated sodium silicate particles.
