Abstract: A buckling delayed shear link (BDSL) has a second metal base plate, a first metal base plate, a metal core plate rigidly joined orthogonally to the second metal base plate, an axial relief assembly having matching slip fit channels and extensions, a first restraining assembly restraining one side of the core plate and a second restraining assembly restraining the other side of the core plate. The first metal base plate is enabled to move vertically freely over a distance relative to the rigid assembly of the second metal base plate, the core plate, and the first and second restraining assemblies by virtue of the axial relief assembly, and lateral movement of the first metal base plate relative to the second metal base plate transfers a shear component of force to an upper end of the core plate.

Abstract: Provided are systems, devices, computer-implemented methods, and tangible non-transitory computer readable media for managing software licenses for an organizational entity, such as a business. In particular, examples described in the present disclosure enable the organizational entity to efficiently identify software licenses and subscriptions that are in use, are inactive, are not being used, and/or are associated with users no longer employed by the organizational entity. Examples described in the present disclosure also enable the organization to efficiently (e.g., automatically) manage the identified software licenses and subscriptions, such as canceling licenses and subscriptions for accounts no longer active or in use, identifying users not actively using licenses and subscriptions and modifying or removing the license or subscription, determining overall utilization of licenses and subscriptions across the organizational entity, and the like.
