Abstract: Pass-thru connector assembly includes a pass-thru body having a passage section and a loading section that are configured to be positioned in separate first and second spaces, respectively. The pass-thru body also includes a body channel that extends therethrough. The passage section defines an opening to the body channel in the first space. The pass-thru connector assembly also includes a header housing that is configured to mate with an electrical connector. The header housing is attached to the passage section and covers the opening to the body channel. An electrical cable extends through an aperture of a cable seal and into and through the cable portion of the body channel. The cable seal engages the outer jacket of the electrical cable at a sealed interface. The electrical contact is coupled to the header housing and positioned for engaging a corresponding contact of the electrical connector.

Abstract: A small speaker for panel mounting in a hole as small as seventy five millimeters diameter in which access to the rear of the panel is not required. The small speaker uses spring-loaded flip dogs that are actuated by rotating a sound disperser that is connected to a hollow cylindrical mechanism having gear teeth on its external surface which engage flip dog gears on the top surfaces of the flip dogs. Internally, the hollow cylindrical mechanism has an indentation that supports a speaker baffle which, in turn supports a speaker bushing. A loudspeaker is attached to the speaker bushing near the speaker baffle. Two housing sections attach, spaced apart, to an annular frame on opposing sides and receive the hollow cylindrical mechanism rotationally therein. The flip dogs operate in the spaces between the housing sections. Methods of mounting and dismounting are described.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to generation and verification of one-time passwords. A one-time password is generated by an apparatus of an authenticating party in response to a one-time password production request. The one-time password is based on a secret value shared between the apparatus and a relying party. The shared secret value is based on a private key of the apparatus and on a public key of the relying party, and is unique to the relying party and to the production request.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method may include: enforcing a key rotation policy associated with a current encryption key being used to encrypt and decrypt data stored in an IHS; monitoring a cryptoperiod associated with the current encryption key; in response to a determination that the current encryption key has reached the end of the cryptoperiod, automatically transmitting a request to a key provider for a new encryption key; and in response to the request, automatically: receiving the new encryption key, marking the current encryption key as old, un-encrypting the data using the old encryption key, re-encrypting the data using the new encryption key, and, in response to a determination that all of the data has been re-encrypted with the new encryption key, transmitting a request to the key provider that the old encryption key be discarded, and deleting a local copy of the old encryption key.

Abstract: A half-rack electronics cabinet coupled to a wall mount by two doubly-nested four bar mechanisms that are operable to articulate the cabinet by ninety degrees to bring the back planes of any installed electronic modules to the top for easy access.

Abstract: Crossbars span the width between two opposed vertical attachment bars in a half-width electronics rack or cabinet of accommodating height to enable vertical mounting of full-width electronics module in the half-width electronics rack or cabinet. The crossbars are used in opposed spaced-apart pairs with the full-width electronics module mounted vertically between the crossbars. Each crossbar includes a flat elongated main bar having five sets of three holes in a linear array, with the holes sized and spaced apart in accordance with industry standards for electronics racks. An attachment flange with a fastener opening extends from each end of the main bar and is delineated from the main bar by a notch. Between the notches, the same edge extends in a right-angle bend which further extends into a flange. Crossbars are provided in pairs, with or without packaging, racks, cabinets, and electronics modules.

Abstract: A seal collar is disclosed and claimed. The seal is provided in two hinged parts that wrap around the piping to be sealed. The seal halves are connected to form a loop. The seal components may be formed of a shape memory alloy. Once the seal is properly positioned about the pipe, heat is applied to shrink the seal to provide a tight, sealing fit about the pipe. Alternatively, the clamp is formed of stainless steel and a bolt is used to secure the clamp halves to the mixer assembly.

Abstract: A jet pump stabilizer is disclosed and claimed. The stabilizer includes a clamp body that is affixed about the riser pipe. Two U-clamps are connected to the clamp body, each U-clamp positioned about a jet pump mixer section. A wedge assembly is positioned between the clamp body and each mixer pipe, cooperating with the clamp body and U-clamps to laterally restrain the mixer sections. A clamp ring is positioned about each mixer section and retained in place by the U-clamps, wedge assemblies, and clamp body. A sealing ring is moveably connected to the clamp ring such that it is biased toward engagement with the jet pump diffuser. Seals provided on the stabilizer engage the jet pump assembly above and below the slip joint, preventing vibration-inducing leakage through the slip joint.
