The techniques also include generating, by the session manager service, a nonce token and providing the shell identifier, and a router address of the secure shell router to the user device. The techniques also include generating, by the session manager service, a signed nonce token using the nonce token; and providing the signed nonce token and the shell identifier to a user device.

Abstract: A plasma chamber for containing a solution electrode glow discharge (SEGD) apparatus, the plasma chamber comprising a hollow body and a ventilation unit. The hollow body is configured to enclose a plasma generated between a solid electrode and a solution electrode, the hollow body comprising an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and at least one viewing port for letting light generated from the plasma leave the hollow body. The ventilation unit is configured to move air from outside the hollow body into the inlet, through a portion of the hollow body located between the viewing port and a gap between the solid electrode and the solution electrode, and out of hollow body from the outlet, thereby creating an air curtain for removal from an optical path between the plasma and the viewing port of at least some vapor created by vaporization of liquid in the plasma.

Abstract: This invention is based upon the unexpected finding that a hydrocarbon traction resin can be dispersed into the oil used in making an oil extended emulsion and solution rubbers to attain improved performance characteristics. For instance, this technique allows for the hydrocarbon traction resin to be incorporated into the rubber at a higher level than would ordinarily be possible using conventional mixing techniques. In tire tread compounds this provides improved wet traction characteristics without compromising cured stiffness (dry traction) and ultimate properties (chip/chunk resistance). This technique can be used to incorporate a resin into virtually any synthetic rubber that can benefit from being oil extended. It is of particular value in making resin modified solution styrene-butadiene rubber (SSBR), emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (ESBR), high cis-1.4-polybutadiene rubber, and synthetic polyisoprene rubber which are formulated for use in tire tread compounds.

Abstract: A golf club head with an improved sole profile is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention discloses various types of irons, including wedges, having a toe portion, a heel portion, and a center portion therebetween, in which a camber radius of a sole as measured from a front to a back of the golf club head changes moving from the toe portion through the center portion to the heel portion. In addition, a bounce angle of the golf club head also changes moving from the toe portion through the center portion to the heel portion. The resulting golf club head improves performance, as this new sole profile allows specific portions of the sole to have a profile that meets the needs at that location.
