Abstract: In some implementations, a web host may receive a configuration file associated with at least one action. The web host may determine, using the configuration file, that the at least one action is controlled for concurrency. Accordingly, the web host may generate a URL for the at least one action. The URL may include a slug, and the slug may include an identifier associated with the action and at least one bit indicating that the action is controlled for concurrency.

Abstract: A leash tag that is attached directly along the length of the leash conveys the approachability of a dog at a glance to others. Anti-slip features keep it in place for a variety of leash sizes, materials, and shapes without sliding down. It contains panels that can feature multiple messages and be interchanged without removing the tag from the leash, and message panels are stored within the unit. The messages define a universal communication system for dog approachability. This system conveys information about how a dog should be approached that is intuitive and easy to understand through the coordinated use of color-coding, graphic icons, and text.

Abstract: In some implementations, a web instance may receive an indication of an event associated with a uniform resource locator (URL) that includes a slug. The web instance may determine, using an indicator encoded in the slug, that the URL is associated with an action that is included in a concurrency control group. The web instance may communicate with a remote database to determine whether the concurrency control group is locked. The web instance may selectively trigger execution of the action based on whether the concurrency control group is locked.

Abstract: Management applications (hosts) implement management operations on a storage system by passing system calls (syscalls) to a management system. In some embodiments, all management traffic is passed from one or more instances of a management application to a management daemon executing in the context of the storage system operating system. The management daemon sorts syscalls received from the management applications and implements the syscalls using one or more array control devices. The array control devices are special target devices configured on external control hosts for sending management commands to the storage system operating system and receiving information from the storage system. In some embodiments, Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) devices to be used as array control devices, and enable TCP connections to be used as logical array control devices.

Abstract: A container has an improved releasable cap that is releasable with upward movement of the cap. A coupler also couples the cap to the container and provides for a stowed position in which the cap does not interfere with use of the container, and maintains the cap in a connected to configuration with the container at all times.

Abstract: A resonator may include two or more electrodes and one or more piezoelectric materials, where the two or more electrodes and the one or more piezoelectric materials are distributed in a direction. Further, at least one of the two or more electrodes may have a constant thickness along the direction and may include two or more regions having different densities, where the two or more regions are distributed in a plane normal to the direction and the two or more regions have the constant thickness along the direction.

Abstract: A resonator may include a first electrode, a second electrode, and a piezoelectric material between the first electrode and the second electrode, where the piezoelectric material is formed by fabricating the piezoelectric material with a compression axis vector (C-axis vector) oriented along a first direction and applying an electric field across the piezoelectric material to modify a direction of the C-axis vector to be oriented along a second direction. The second direction may be antiparallel to the first direction.

Abstract: A management daemon sorts syscalls received from the management applications into First In First Out (FIFO) queues and, when there is an available array control device, selects a syscall from one of the FIFO queues, and spawns a thread on the available array control device to service the selected syscall. The management system has a syscall scheduler configured to optimize handling of syscalls, by breaking long running syscalls into discrete operations, implementing a portion of the syscall, and then stopping operation of the syscall while saving the state of the partially executed syscall. The partially executed syscall is placed back into a queue for subsequent operation, thus freeing up the array control devise for use in connection with other syscalls. By optimizing syscall scheduling, and incremental processing of long running syscalls, it is possible to reduce the overall syscall processing time for a set of syscalls.

Abstract: A container has an improved releasable cap, the container including a neck having external threads. The cap includes: a circular top piece for sealing the container; two sidewall sections connected to the top piece each having an internal threaded portion for engaging the neck of the container. Each sidewall section has two circumferential ends each spaced from an adjacent circumferential end of the other sidewall section such that two diametrically opposed expandable gaps are defined between the spaced circumferential ends. Two tabs each span a respective one of the two gaps, the tabs bulging outward from the sidewall section. The tabs are configured to be pressed inward thereby causing the sidewall sections to flex outward to disengage the internal threaded portions thereof from the external threads of the neck of the container permitting the cap to be removed therefrom.

Abstract: In a method for securing access to a service, a device is set in a restricted operation mode that allows addressing only a first server and that is associated with a first identifier relating to a first connectivity gateway. The device accesses the first identifier and a subscription profile that is active during the restricted operation mode. The first server receives from the device a request for enrolling a device user and at least one feature relating to a user identity. The first server verifies whether the user identity feature is valid. If the user identity feature is valid, the first server sends to the device a command for deactivating the restricted operation mode. The device deactivates the restricted operation mode while storing, instead of the first identifier, a second identifier relating to a second connectivity gateway. The second identifier allows accessing a second server that manages the service.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for transmitting to a physical or virtual element of a telecommunications network, an encrypted subscription identifier stored in a security element, or an encrypted identifier of the security element or an encrypted identifier of a terminal cooperating with the security element. The method includes pre-calculating proactively, at the occurrence of an event, the encrypted identifier using a key and storing it in a file or memory of the security element with a parameter enabling the key to be calculated by the element of the telecommunications network, in order to be able to transmit to the element of the telecommunications network the encrypted identifier and the parameter, without having to compute the encrypted identifier when the terminal is asking for it.
