Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for modifying network applications. For instance, remote system(s) may store an application on a first virtual storage device and store a modification for the application on a second virtual storage device. The remote system(s) may then install the application on a virtual server using the first virtual storage device. Additionally, the remote system(s) may receive a request to access the application along with an indication to enable the modification for the application. Based on the request, the remote system(s) may modify the application on the virtual server using the second virtual storage device. The remote system(s) may then launch the application, as modified, on the virtual server. Once the application is launched, the system(s) may provide the application to a user device using the virtual server.

Abstract: An in-tank filter assembly for an industrial fluid reservoir tank includes a filter assembly mount with tank coupling elements to secure the assembly mount to a tank, and wherein the mount includes an inlet connection configured to be coupled to the an inlet line of the tank; a bypass structure configured to selectively open allowing flow to flow around the filter element into the tank in bypass operation; and a disposable filter element including at least a top end cap and a bottom end cap with filter media extending between the top end cap and a lower end cap, wherein the filter assembly forms a bowl-less in tank return line filter having inside-out flow.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for providing add-ons associated with network applications. For instance, a user may be controlling an application that is executing on a remote system using a control device and a display device. While the application is executing, the remote system may send user interface data to the display device, where the user interface data represents a user interface that includes add-ons that may be acquired for the application. If the user selects an add-on, the display device may communicate with a payment system in order to acquire the add-on. The remote system may then determine that the user acquired the add-on using data received from the display device and/or data received from a management system associated with the application. As such, the remote system may enable the add-on for the user within the application.

Abstract: A filter assembly includes a cylindrical filter housing, a filter element housing plate positioned between a high pressure and a low pressure side of the filter housing, the filter element housing plate having a plurality of one female cavities, and a plurality of replaceable filter elements within the filter housing. Each replaceable filter element has an endcap with an external rounded polygon shaped sealing surface engaging peripheral surfaces of an associated female cavity of the filter element housing plate and sealing against peripheral surfaces of the female cavity of the filter element housing plate.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for creating a continuous stream of envelopes. Envelopes are constructed in a manner that uses existing presses and manufacturing equipment to create a stream of envelopes that are connected together. The envelopes are created from the joining of two or more layers of materials and can be shaped into various forms. The stream of envelopes may be printed using existing industrial printers in a continuous process. Subsequently, the stream of envelopes can be separated into individual envelopes.

Abstract: An automated process for manufacturing smart labels having a radio frequency identification (RFID) transponder. The inventive method accurately and reliably inserts RFID transponders into labels onto tags in one pass on a label press equipped with an in-line insertion station. The transponders may be provided In continuous supply reel and singulated as needed to form discrete terms transponders or single transponders may be provided in the hopper. The label is delaminated and the transponders are individually applied directly to the adhesive side of the labels in the machine direction of the moving web. The label liner is then relaminated back onto the label face stock sandwiching the RFID transponder between the liner and the label stock.

Abstract: A printhead with a built-in antenna. The built-in antennaa allows for close proximity between the media and the antenna, particularly as media passes under the printhead. The RFID antenna embedded in the print head eliminates the potential interference and crosstalk between the smart labels. The built-in antenna at the print station allows for RF writing and printing at the same time. The close proximity of the antenna to the RFID tag also allows for reduced power, which is an advantage in portable devices that often have limited battery life. Having a RFID antenna built in to the print head, also allows for a printer with smaller dimensions. Further, the printer assembly and repairs are quicker because there is no need for an additional patch antenna component.

Abstract: A smart label construction that provides a more uniform profile for improved print performance in a thermal label printer. The preferred label design has a layer of pressure sensitive piece of applied over the inlay and beyond the edges of the inlay to provide a smoother step transition and eliminates printing voids along the inlay edges. An oversized adhesive patch is applied at the insert. The adhesive patch extends beyond the perimeter edges of the inlay masking the thickness transition of the inlay base film. Alternatively, a coat of additional adhesive is applied only on the leading and trailing edges of the transponder. Alternatively, a low viscosity adhesive is applied to the backside of the inlay prior to singulating the inlay and inserting it into the label stock. The low viscosity adhesive flows beyond the perimeter of the transponder and fills voids. Alternativley, transponder may compress into a low viscosity of adhesive on the label substrate.

Abstract: A smart RFID tire label in which the RFID antenna base film is the label face sheet. The antenna pattern, chip and pressure sensitive adhesive are on one side of the base film. This side is applied against the tire surface. The antenna base film acts as the durable label material protecting the antenna and chip from harsh environments associated with tire manufacturing and the wheel/chassis assembly process. The label may be large enough to seal the RFID insert when the label is attached to a tire, thus further protecting the RFID insert from damage.

A slot is formed between the lobe and the side wall for storing the disk. The tabs, preferably located within the lobe, secure the disk inside the cradle, preventing the disk from inadvertently falling out of the cradle.

Abstract: A tamper evident smart label with an RFID or RF transponder. Use of tamper evident label materials in the layered construction of the smart label prevents removal, transferal, replacement and or alteration of the smart label without noticeable evidence of tampering. Propagation cuts in the RF Transponder substrate, adhesive that separates into visible patterns, holograms and or microprinting may be used to increase label tampering visibility.
