Abstract: A method for secure transmission of data is described. The method comprises receiving a token corresponding to user data stored in a data storage device. Further, the PII data corresponding to the token is retrieved via an Application Programming Interface (API). The retrieved PII data is processed at a runtime environment for sending information to the users over one or more messages. The PII data is deleted from the runtime environment. Further, delivery data corresponding to delivered one or more messages is mapped with the token using a unique message ID.

Abstract: A system (100) for manufacturing an extrudate (10), such as a honeycomb body, is provided. The system comprises an extruder (102). The extruder is configured to form an extrudate from a wet mixture, such as a ceramic forming mixture. The system further comprises a radiative heat assembly (104). The radiative heat assembly is configured to heat the extrudate. The radiative heat assembly comprises one or more IR light sources (112). The one or more IR light sources are arranged as one or more rings around the extrudate. The system further comprises a differential pressure assembly (108). The differential pressure assembly is configured to remove at least a portion of water vapor from around the extrudate. The differential pressure assembly can direct an air flow out of a chamber (136) formed by a housing (132) surrounding the radiative heat assembly. Alternatively, the differential pressure assembly can direct an air flow into the chamber.

Abstract: An extrusion system (100) according to certain aspects includes at least one infrared emitting device (102) arranged in a generally cylindrical shape with a hollow interior. The at least one infrared emitting device (102) is positioned downstream of an outlet of an extrusion die (110) to irradiate a perimeter of wet extrudate material in a uniform manner to form stiffened wet extrudate material (116) before such material is received by an extrudate support channel (118). The at least one infrared emitting device (102) generally uniformly stiffens the skin of the wet extrudate material (116) to resist mechanical deformation of the extrudate material during subsequent handling steps. Such skin stiffening allows for increased tolerance of handling forces and permits extrusion of softer wet extrudate material without compromising the shape of a fired ceramic product.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed at systems, methods and media for providing bearer call-back services for bearers that have been rejected or pre-empted by a network apparatus in a core network. In some embodiments, if a network apparatus enters a state in which it becomes necessary to reject or pre-empt a bearer associated with a user equipment (UE) (e.g., due to load conditions in a radio access network, the core network, or an application server), the network apparatus can send to the UE a call-back message when the network apparatus exits the state that precipitated the bearer rejection or pre-emption. By sending a call-back message, the network apparatus can save the UE from multiple unsuccessful attempts to establish a bearer, or from waiting an unnecessarily long time before establishing a bearer.

In at least one case, the method can include routing downlink packets to the UE using the one or more service data flows for the preferred RAT type if the preferred RAT type is available.
