Abstract: A welding jig assembly operable to assist a welder in welding pipe elbows of varying diameters to an adjacent portion of pipe. The welding jig assembly includes a body member that is planar in manner having a first end and a second end. The body member further includes a first arm member and a second arm member that are integrally formed therewith and have a void therebetween. The first arm member and the second arm member have chuck engagement rods extending outward therefrom. The welding jig assembly includes a first set of pipe elbow support members and a second set of pipe elbow support members located on opposing lateral edges of the body member. The sets of pipe elbow support members are arcuate in form and have portions extending outward from opposing sides of the body member. An aperture is formed in the body member to receive a securing chain.

Abstract: An integrated fault monitoring apparatus for electrical devices has an internal fault detector for detecting transient pressure surges within the electrical device, a pressure relief valve for allowing release of pressure during normal operating conditions of the electrical device, a temperature indicator for indicating that an operating temperature of the electrical device has gone above a predetermined threshold, and/or a sudden pressure relief device for allowing air to escape from the electrical device in the event of a sudden and significant increase in pressure within the electrical device. Methods of using the apparatus are provided.

Abstract: A method at an authentication server for multi-factor authentication of an electronic device, the method including receiving at the authentication server a request for authentication of the electronic device; sending information to the electronic device; receiving a response based on the information sent to the electronic device, the response further including an authentication time limit; authenticating the response; and storing the response and time limit upon verification of the response.

Abstract: Techniques and technologies for cross-device task execution are described. In at least some embodiments, a system includes a processing component configured to: receive device information associated with a networked group of devices; receive user preference information indicating one or more user preferences for performing one or more tasks; receive an indication of a task to be performed; select a designated device of the networked group of devices associated with the user to perform the task based at least partially on the user preference information; and transmit the task to be performed to the designated device.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically obtaining data associated with a performance metric associated with access devices associated with a resource provider in a specific geographic location and comparing it to data associated with the performance of other access devices associated with another resource provider is disclosed. A processing server computer can perform the comparison and may provide the comparison to a user device, so that corrective action, if any, may be taken.

Abstract: A fault indicator for indicating the occurrence of a rapid pressure surge within a housing of an electrical device has: a barrel capable of being mounted in an aperture of the housing; an actuating mechanism having a chamber with at least one orifice communicating between interior and exterior surfaces of the chamber within the housing and an actuating member movable in response to a pressure differential between the interior and exterior surfaces of the chamber; a plunger within the bore of the barrel biased outwardly in the barrel and normally retained in an armed position by the actuating member; and a radial seal disposed between the plunger and the barrel. When the pressure differential exceeds a positive threshold value, the actuating member is moved and thereby permits the plunger to move outwardly into a triggered position. The radial seal may be a dual-lip seal.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of digital subtraction angiography. An image processing method is applied to a digitized mask (100) and to a sequence of digitized opacified images (101). A logarithmic function (105) is applied to the values of the pixels of the digitized mask and to the values of the pixels of the sequence of digitized opacified images, and then a subtraction (108) is made of the logarithmic value of each pixel of a digitized opacified image from the logarithmic value of the corresponding pixel in the digitized mask. In order to improve the quality of the images processed, a processing step (102) able to decrease certain pixel values of the digitized mask and of the digitized opacified images is applied before applying the logarithmic function.
