  • Publication number: 20230090699
    Abstract: A system for exterminating insects includes a housing, a fluid-heating assembly housed within the housing that includes one or more fuel reserves, one or more burners that receive fuel from the one or more fuel reserves, and a heat exchanger defining a sinuous flow path positioned to receive heat from the one or more burners, a fluid inlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly connectable to a residential hose bib, the fluid inlet line fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, such that fluid is directed from the fluid inlet line directly to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger, and a fluid outlet line coupled to the housing and fluidly coupled to the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger such that fluid is directed from the sinuous flow path of the heat exchanger directly through the fluid outlet line.

  • Patent number: 9781162
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for predictively configuring a security services protocol implementation can be provided. The method can include providing a set of network topology descriptions and determining a selection of one of the network topology descriptions. The method further can include identifying configuration settings corresponding to the selection and applying the configuration settings to the security services protocol implementation. For instance, applying the configuration settings to the security services protocol implementation can include selecting encapsulation mode and routing settings for the security services protocol implementation.

  • Patent number: 8891550
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to network services protocol implementation configuration and provide a method, system and computer program product for platform independent configuration of multiple network services protocol implementations. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for configuring a network services protocol implementation can include configuring a platform independent configuration for a network services protocol implementation. Thereafter, a target node can be selected to receive a deployment of the network services protocol implementation and the configured platform independent configuration can be transformed into a platform specific configuration for the target node. Finally, the transformed platform specific configuration can be deployed onto the target node.

  • Patent number: 8612602
    Abstract: A method automatically captures network resources of each individual system of a networked system. The method defines a reusable object name for each class of network resources captured from the individual systems. Each class of network resources has at least one common feature. The method automatically maps each network resource having a particular class of each individual system to the reusable object name defined for that particular class. Embodiments enable individual system-specific resources, such as IP addresses, to be mapped to reusable objects. In some embodiments, reusable objects names may be combined to form higher-level configuration objects, such as network configuration rules.

  • Patent number: 8539548
    Abstract: A hierarchical administrative system centrally controls configuration of network security policy for a group of information handling systems (IHSs) by multiple tier levels of administration. The highest tier level of administration builds policies that fulfill IT security policy intent. Higher level administrators may scope subordinate administrators to a group of IHSs or a single IHS. Higher level administrators may allow subordinate administrators to perform system specific customization of the policy based on permissions that the higher level administrator grants. Customization may include completing partially-built rule conditions with IP address and port, completing partially-built rule actions, and adding or deleting rules based on IHS unique applications or security requirements. A security enforcement tool may enforce customizations of network security policy.
