Abstract: An enterprise network may be managed by enabling provision of a graphical user interface that shows IP address allocations for the network and that allows a user to configure DHCP scopes, receiving a DHCP scope request based on a user interaction with the graphical user interface, translating the request into a protocol for communicating with a DHCP control server, providing the translated request to the DHCP control server for processing at the DHCP control server, and updating configurations of multiple DHCP servers. The updated configurations may be sent from the DHCP control server to a configuration storage system and the multiple DHCP servers may be enabled to access the updated configurations from the configuration storage system.

Abstract: A method of managing cryptocurrency keys. The method comprises: generating one or more cryptocurrency keys; encrypting the cryptocurrency keys with a password and communicating the encrypted cryptocurrency keys to remote storage. The method further comprises, subsequently, retrieving the encrypted cryptocurrency keys from the remote storage; decrypting the encrypted cryptocurrency keys with the password, and storing temporarily the decrypted cryptocurrency keys for use in one or more cryptocurrency transactions.

Abstract: Requests received at a service platform may be processed either synchronously or asynchronously, based on, for example, a determination of the expected response time for the service request. Some embodiments may include separate hardware infrastructures and/or may support service requests designated for asynchronous processing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing electrospun polymer fibres with a modified surface, processes for producing a polymer fibre with a modified surface, non-woven polymer fibre mats or meshes comprising an electrospun polymer fibre, including multi-layered electrospun polymer fibre meshes, and a kit including a directional plasma device.

Abstract: Vises utilizing a threaded screw and nut to translate rotary motion of the screw into linear relative movement of vise components. The nut may be a half-nut urged into contact with the screw by a cam that may be operated by a lever located near the handle for turning the screw. A tail vise embodiment may be mounted to the underside of a workbench without signification bench modification and positions the screw near the front edge of the bench top. A front vise embodiment may include a screw cover to protect workpieces from contact with the screw.

Abstract: An enterprise network may be managed. A graphical user interface (GUI) that shows IP address allocations for the network and that allows a user to configure DHCP scopes and DNS zones may be provided. A new host reservation request may be received from a user. The request may be translated into a first protocol and provided to a DHCP control server for processing. Based on the processing, configurations of multiple DHCP servers may be updated, to include the new host reservation, and provided to a configuration storage system for (at least temporary) storage and access by the multiple DHCP servers. The request may be translated into a second protocol and provided to a DNS management server for processing. Based on the processing, a configuration for a DNS server may be updated, to include the new host reservation, and stored in a DNS database.

Abstract: An impeller having a rotation axis, a radial direction, a backplate and a number of vanes which are connected to the backplate at a line of connection is provided. Each vane has an upstream side, a downstream side and an outer side. The downstream side of each vane has an edge portion which is located near the outer side. The vanes project radially over the backplate and the downstream side further includes a connecting portion connecting the edge portion to the backplate and including an angle with the radial direction. The connecting portion includes a convex rounded portion which is located near the line of connection. Moreover, a turbocharger having an inventive impeller is disclosed.
