Abstract: A system of a work vehicle includes an engine, a transmission that includes a hydrostatic unit, and a clutch coupled to the transmission. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the engine, the transmission, and the clutch. The controller, in operation, receives a command to disengage the clutch. The controller, in operation, determines an engine speed of the engine. The controller, in operation, also determines a temperature of hydraulic fluid in the clutch. The controller, in operation, further determines a magnitude and time to limit acceleration of the work vehicle based on the engine speed and the temperature. The controller, in operation, also commands the clutch to disengage. The controller, in operation, further limits the acceleration of the work vehicle using the hydrostatic unit based on the magnitude for the time determined.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to embodiments of systems and methods for tracking sessions of a user. A session manager executing on a server may establish a plurality of sessions with a web application for a user via a web socket of the session manager. The plurality of sessions may share a first session identifier. The session manager may track, by via a web socket container established for the first session identifier, the plurality of sessions. The session manager may detect a log off by the user from one of the plurality of sessions. The session manager may send a log off event to others of the plurality of sessions tracked via the web socket container, responsive to the detection.

Abstract: A pest monitoring system generally includes a circuit, wherein the circuit is initially in a first impedance state that is configured to change to a second impedance state due to pest activity, wherein the second impedance state is lower than the first impedance state.

Abstract: An assembly may include a speaker supportable for movement relative to a reference external to the speaker and a speaker housing supporting speaker components operable to produce an audio output. A sensor is operable to sense a direction of movement of the speaker during movement of the speaker relative to the reference. Control components are operable to control the speaker components based on the direction of movement of the speaker relative to the reference. When the speaker is sensed to be moving in a first direction relative to the reference, an operational characteristic of the speaker components is controlled to increase or advance during movement in the first direction. When the speaker is sensed to be moving in a second direction relative to the reference different from the first direction, the operational characteristic of the speaker components is controlled to decrease or retreat during movement in the second direction.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a liquid is disclosed. The dispenser comprises an outlet for dispensing a liquid, a reservoir for liquid, and a closure configured to engage with the dispenser and movable between a closed position in which the outlet is enclosed and an open position in which the outlet is not enclosed. The dispenser further comprises an arrangement for controlling liquid communication between the reservoir and the outlet, the arrangement and reservoir movable with respect to each other between a first configuration in which the reservoir is not in liquid communication with the outlet and a second configuration in which the reservoir is in liquid communication with the outlet. By requiring a second movement after removal of the closure accidental access or dispensing of the contents may be avoided or reduced.

Abstract: A material processing unit includes a main frame and a pivot assembly pivotally mounted to the frame. The pivot assembly is movable between a first pivot position, where a portion of the pivot assembly extends below the main frame, to a second pivot position, where the pivot assembly is generally above the main frame. The pivot assembly includes a mount platform that is below the main frame when the pivot assembly is in the first pivot position. The pivot assembly includes a slewing bearing mounted on the mount platform. The pivot assembly also includes a carrier mechanism that is rotatably mounted to the slewing bearing. The carrier mechanism is configured to be rotated generally parallel to the mount platform via the slewing bearing. The material processing unit includes a discharge conveyor that is pivotally mounted to the carrier mechanism.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a container operative with a dispenser comprising a dispense conduit, the container comprising: a storage cavity for storing contents dispensed to the container from the dispenser; and an interface formation configured to receive the dispense conduit of the dispenser to open a conduit between the storage cavity and a reservoir of the dispenser to permit transfer of reservoir contents from the reservoir of the dispenser to the storage cavity; and wherein the interface formation comprises a rupturable, self-sealing membrane.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a processing station (10) for registering a passenger's luggage for a trip. The processing station (10) comprises an injector (14) for receiving a piece of luggage associated with the passenger. A plurality of sensors (16a-16i) are associated with the injector. A weighing machine (18) is also associated with the injector (14) for weighing the piece of luggage whilst in the injector (14). The luggage processing (station 10) also comprises a user interface (20) for receiving various inputs for confirming that a passenger has checked-in and to display information to the passenger during processing of the piece of luggage. A controller (28) is associated with the sensors (16a-16i) and weighing machine (18) and the user interface (20).

Abstract: Described embodiments protect clients from open redirect security vulnerabilities in Web applications. A primary application receives a request for an operation to be performed on behalf of a secondary application. The request includes a return location parameter containing i) a return location, and ii) an encrypted portion. After completing the requested operation, the primary application retrieves the return location parameter and a cryptographic key uniquely associated with the secondary application. The primary application decrypts the encrypted portion of the return location parameter to generate a decrypted value, and uses the decrypted value to validate the return location contained in the return location parameter. The primary application transmits a redirect message to the client that causes the client to be redirected to the return location contained in the return location parameter only in response to the return location being successfully validated based on the decrypted value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an inhaler comprising: an assembly including a heater element arranged in the inhaler to be proximal to a substrate region configured for supporting a vapour or atomiser precursor substrate; wherein the assembly is configured such that the heater element is operative to achieve and maintain a target temperature in the substrate region throughout a period corresponding to a plurality of consecutive uses of the inhaler.
