  • Assembly manager
    Patent number: 9847985
    Abstract: An assembly management system allows a software service provider (SSP) to compile and upload client-specific client application code into a repository. The SSP deploys a client application comprising non-client-specific code to various clients. When a user logs in, a call is made to a web service, which queries the repository for code specific to the requesting client. If available, the web service sends a response with the name and version of the assembly to which the client is subscribed. If the locally-saved version does not match the version of the assembly in the repository, and if the SSP has permission to write to the client's disk, the web service retrieves the assembly and commits it to the disk. If the SSP does not have permission, the assembly is streamed to the client device and retained and executed in memory for the duration of the login.

The roller may comprise a steel roller shell, and each bearing journal may include a substantially cylindrical or circular-disk-shaped connecting steel portion that extends radially in the direction of the roller shell. At least one of the connecting portions may comprise a passage opening at an end face of the roller shell. The passage may be closed by means of a gas-permeable plug element comprised of ceramic material.

  • Extended service set transitions in wireless networks
    Patent number: 9820199
    Abstract: A mobile device may transition between Extended Service Set (“ESS”) networks seamlessly, such that a consumer never loses the network connection despite the transition. The communication for enabling a transition may be prior to association with that network. The seamless transition may be enabled through the creation and utilization of a central key holder authority that advertises its identity to mobile devices in a pre-associated state. The mobile device can use the key discovery communication along with a key generation method to authenticate and/or associate with a network and transition from one ESS to another. There may be a common root key across ESSs. At each new access point (“AP”) that the mobile device encounters, ESS and key holder identities may be discovered through discovery communications.

  • AmpLegs Tilt-Back System for Musical Instrument Amplifiers and Speaker Cabinets
    Publication number: 20170318368
    Abstract: The kit form of subject invention consists of 2 retractable spring actuated steel legs that come in various sizes and two heavy duty fasteners that adhere to rear of musical instrument amplifiers, speaker cabinet or other device. The legs, referred to as AmpLegs, require no drilling or screws for installation on most amps or cabinets, while others require the AmpLegs Mounting Blocks accessory. AmpLegs attach to rear of cabinet via dual lock fasteners to provide support while cabinet is tilted back. Tilt angle is adjusted by detaching the AmpLegs from the dual lock fasteners and then attaching them back to the fasteners at a slightly higher or lower point on the fasteners, effectively increasing or decreasing tilt angle.
