Abstract: A high density coupling panel of the present disclosure presents a compact grouping of coupler wherein each of the couplers couples a first free connector with a second free connector wherein each of the free connectors is coupled to exactly two electrical conductors. The high density coupling panel can be manufactured in a shielded (e.g., metal) or non-shielded (e.g. non-metal) form as appropriate to a specific application. In the shielded configuration, a bonding strip is used to connect all metal components (e.g., shielded free connectors, shielded couplers, and metal panel of the high density coupling panel) to ground via a shielding tab.

Abstract: A computer system for identifying merchant category code misclassifications includes at least one processor in communication with a transaction database and a high-risk merchant database. The transaction database stores transaction records by a plurality of account holders. The high-risk merchant database stores high-risk merchant records each associated with high-risk merchants. The processor queries the transaction database for transaction records and calculates a high-risk cardholder metric for each of the account numbers. The at least one processor further queries the transaction database for transaction records including (i) the account number of high-risk cardholders, and (ii) a merchant identifier associated with other than the plurality of high-risk merchants, to retrieve a second set of transaction records. The at least one processor further calculates a high-risk merchant metric for each of the merchant identifiers, identifying a MCC misclassified merchant.

Abstract: An excavator or other work machine includes a tilting bucket operated by a hydraulic actuator controlled by a bucket control valve responsive to control signals including a bucket shake control signal, which causes the bucket to move repeatedly in the rack and dump directions to shake debris from the bucket in a bucket shake operation. The actuator is powered by pressure from a hydraulic pump, and a control system includes an unloader valve to relieve pressure from the supply line to unload the pump when there is no demand for power. The control system is arranged to maintain a constant pressure signal in a load sensing line, to maintain the unloader valve constantly in a closed condition, for the duration of the bucket shake operation. This may be achieved by pressurising an actuator of a quick coupler to lock the bucket to the machine.

Abstract: A virtualized computing environment of a telecommunications network comprises a cluster of virtual machines with a one-to-one ratio of active and backup virtual machines. One or more additional clusters of virtual machines have a N-to-K ratio of active and backup virtual machines where N>K. The backup virtual machines are configured to provide failover capacity for processing communications sessions in an event of a failure of one of the active virtual machines. A cluster redundancy capability indicates the ratio of the active and backup virtual machines for that cluster. A predetermined type associated with a requested communication session is determined. A cluster having a cluster redundancy capability corresponding to the predetermined type is selected. Data for the requested communication session is sent to an active virtual machine in the selected cluster.

Abstract: A coupler couples a first connector with a second connector wherein each of the connectors is coupled to exactly two electrical conductors. Each coupler can be utilized in a shielded (e.g., metal) or non-shielded (e.g. non-metal) form as appropriate to a specific application. Each coupler includes exactly one pair of pin contacts, preferably with a square or rectangular cross- section. Each end of the pin contacts includes four tapered faces that join at a flattened apex and are configured to be received by the tuning fork contact of the connector. The pair of pin contacts are offset from one another and cross one another within the coupler to maintain electrical polarity as electricity travels from the tuning fork contacts of a first connector to the pin contacts of the coupler and onward to the tuning fork contacts of a second connector.

At a first hub of the pair, a first action is performed, resulting in a transmission of a packet received from a first isolated network to the second hub along a pathway selected using dynamic routing parameters. At the second hub, a second action is performed, resulting in the transmission of the packet to a destination within a second isolated network.

Abstract: The primary object of the MicroJamb Window & Door Jamb System is to provide an improved, yet, less costly jamb that, along with a system of interchangeable parts, simplifies the production and installation of windows and doors (so as to substantially reduce the time, materials and costs involved in both) and which, by design, makes windows and doors much more weather-tight. It accomplishes this by: reducing the width of the standard 4½-inch jamb by 1 inch (which immediately reduces material costs 22%) so as to fit between the drywall and sheathing of exterior walls; replacing wood molding with simulated molding of extruded plastic (reducing molding costs by over 50%); and by eliminating interior trim, when desired, altogether (reducing cost of interior trim 100%).
