  • GARMENT HANGERS AND SIZERS AND METHOD FOR REUSING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20190174940
    Abstract: A garment hanger and a sizer that can be removably mounted to the hanger are provided. The sizer includes a pair of inwardly extending fingers for mounting the sizer to a hook or a body of the hanger. The sizer can be manually or automatically removed from the sizer by a tool, by inserting the tool into a space between the hanger and a respective inwardly extending finger. The hanger and the sizer enable a method of reusing hangers and sizers, by automatically removing the sizers from the hangers, processing the removed hangers and sizers to provide reusable hangers and sizers. The reusable hangers and sizers are distributed to remote garment manufacturers for providing garment-on-hanger products.

  • Leveling jack with direct actuation
    Patent number: 10167178
    Abstract: A leveling and stabilizing jack includes an intermediate member joining first and second lifting sections. Each lifting section includes a cross beam, a leg, a brace, a foot, a motor and a drive screw. The motor powers the drive screw, which is operably associated with the leg, to cause the leg to extend away from or retract toward the cross beam depending on the motor's direction of rotation. A motor control can control the motor of each of the lifting sections independently in a manner that results in leveling of the jack when deployed.

  • SPOOL FILE FOR OPTIMIZING HASH JOIN OPERATIONS IN A RELATIONAL DATABASE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20180004809
    Abstract: A method for spooling data for use in joining a small table with a large table in a relational database system. The method analyzes a join condition for combining records from the small and large tables, selects qualified rows from the large table, and writes the qualified rows to a spool file. The spool file includes a first partition containing hash values of all bind terms for the join condition; a second partition including a join column with a best selective bind term; and at least one additional partition including additional join columns used in bind terms. The partitions are grouped together within a container row in the spool file, and multiple container rows are written together within a super-container row in the spool file.

  • SECURE DISTRIBUTION OF SESSION CREDENTIALS FROM CLIENT-SIDE TO SERVER-SIDE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT DEVICES
    Publication number: 20170142100
    Abstract: A traffic management device (TMD), system, and processor-readable storage medium are directed to securely transferring session credentials from a client-side traffic management device (TMD) to a second server-side TMD that replaces a first server-side TMD. In one embodiment, a client-side TMD and the first server-side TMD have copies of secret data associated with an encrypted session between a client device and a server device, including a session key. For any of a variety of reasons, the first server-side TMD is replaced with the second server-side TMD, which may not have the secret data. In response to a request to create an encrypted connection associated with the encrypted session, the client-side TMD encrypts the secret data using the server device's public key and transmits the encrypted secret data to the second server-side TMD.

  • Secure distribution of session credentials from client-side to server-side traffic management devices
    Patent number: 9509663
    Abstract: Securely transferring session credentials from a client-side traffic management device (TMD) to a second server-side TMD that replaces a first server-side TMD. A client-side TMD and the first server-side TMD have copies of secret data associated with an encrypted session between a client device and a server device. The first server-side TMD may be replaced with the second server-side TMD, which may not have the secret data. In response to a request to create an encrypted connection associated with the encrypted session, the client-side TMD encrypts the secret data using the server device's public key and transmits the encrypted secret data to the second server-side TMD. Using the server device's private key, the second server-side TMD decrypts the secret data and participates in the encrypted connection.
