  • Publication number: 20180224016
    Abstract: An actuator mounting kit and method for mounting an automatic valve actuator to a manually operated valve. The mounting kit includes a mounting bracket and a stem driver. The mounting bracket is connectable to the valve and has a bottom portion with a stem aperture through which a valve stem is extendable and a tongue matingly engageable with a slot of the valve body. The mounting bracket has an upper portion with a driver aperture aligned with the stem aperture. The stem driver has a first end matingly engageable with the valve stem and a second end extendable through the driver aperture in a way that the actuator is matingly engageable with the second end of the stem driver when the actuator is connected to the upper portion of the mounting bracket.

  • Publication number: 20180192238
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer program products for associating mobile devices with identities of individuals, and tracking such individuals using the location of respective devices. Initially, a user registration process is performed to register an individual for a tracking list. A unique identifier is wirelessly detected from a mobile device in proximity to the individual. The unique identifier is added to the tracking list. The location of the mobile device within the venue is tracked using the unique identifier. When the individual exits the venue, the departure is recorded, and the unique identifier is removed from the tracking list.

  • Publication number: 20180039524
    Abstract: Using a metadata of a layer, a prediction factor including a level of participation of the layer in a set of container images is computed. Each container image includes a corresponding set of layers and is usable to configure a container in a container-based virtualized data processing environment. Using a set of levels of participation corresponding to a set of layers, and using a condition in a prediction algorithm, a subset of layers that have to be pre-provisioned at a node is predicted. The subset of layers is adjusted, to form an adjusted subset of layers, by looking ahead at a container requirement of a workload that is planned for processing at a future time. The adjusted subset of layers is caused to be provisioned on the node prior to the future time.

  • Patent number: 9826097
    Abstract: Responsive to detecting a call from a first user into a call system, a user identifier associated with the first user by the call and user information associated with the user identifier can be added to respective user information stored in an e-meeting data structure associated with the call. Responsive to determining the call system recognizes the voice of the first user, the first user can be identified based on the voice of the first user. Responsive to determining that the user information associated with the user identifier contains information not related to the identified first user, the information not related to the identified first user can be removed from the e-meeting data structure. An e-meeting for the call can be generated, the e-meeting including as participants the first user and at least a second user.

  • Publication number: 20170277755
    Abstract: Techniques are described for a system for providing expert information by verified experts in response to currently circulating assertions such as social media postings. In one example, a method includes identifying one or more authors of respective contents issued by one or more registered expert content sources as verified experts associated with tagged topics that are tagged in association with the respective contents. The method further includes detecting, in one or more media, a media content related to a topic of interest that corresponds to one or more of the tagged topics with which one or more of the verified experts are associated. The method further includes outputting the media content related to the topic of interest to a response interface made available to one or more of the verified experts associated with the one or more of the tagged topics that correspond to the topic of interest.

  • Patent number: 9509850
    Abstract: Responsive to detecting a call from a first user into a call system, a user identifier associated with the first user to can be added to respective user information stored in an e-meeting data structure associated with the call. A determination can be made as to whether the call system recognizes the user identifier associated with the first user and, responsive to determining the call system does not recognize the user identifier associated with the first user, a determination can be made as to whether the call system recognizes a voice of the first user. If the call system does not recognize the voice of the first user, a location of the first user can be identified by processing the user identifier. The location of the first user can be added to respective user information stored in the e-meeting data structure. An e-meeting can be generated for the call.
