Abstract: A method of fabricating panels includes providing an insert having an interior portion with a top portion and a positioning stop opposite the top portion, and an exterior portion including a fastener hem. Further, the method includes placing the insert in a mold such that only the fastener hem and the positioning stop contact the mold and centering the insert in the mold with the top portion and the positioning stop. The method also includes filling the mold with a casting material such that the interior portion is submerged in the casting material including the top portion, but some of the positioning stop is not submerged in the casting material, curing the casting material to form a panel on the insert, and removing the panel form the mold.

Abstract: A bearing assembly includes an inner ring with an inner raceway and disposable about a first member and an outer ring with an outer raceway disposed about the inner ring. A middle ring is disposed between the inner and outer rings and has an inner intermediate raceway and an outer intermediate raceway and is configured to connect with a second member so as to be rotatable about a central axis through the first member. A first set of rolling elements is disposed between the inner ring and the middle ring and a second set of rolling elements is disposed between the outer ring and the middle ring. The outer ring is sized such that a ratio of the outside diameter to the axial width is greater than eight to one (8:1) and the middle ring is formed of a material different than the inner and outer rings.

Abstract: Detecting malware by linking Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) and Scheduled Task Service (STS) activities to a source program. Using send Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) messages and receive ALPC messages, source programs that initiate the creation of temporary files and perform defined operations may be identified. If the source programs responsible for the temporary files and defined operations are determined to be malware programs, a security action may be performed on the source programs.

Abstract: A method for facilitating utilization of processing resources of a plurality of user electronic devices for mining of cryptocurrency. A user application on each user device includes code for a cryptocurrency mining module and code for functionality different from cryptocurrency mining. Various mining activity data indicative of an extent to which each of the plurality of user electronic devices is utilized by a cryptocurrency mining pool to perform cryptocurrency mining operations is received. The method further includes receiving, from at least one of the cryptocurrency mining pool and a cryptocurrency server separate from the cryptocurrency mining pool, an aggregate amount of cryptocurrency. The aggregate amount cryptocurrency may be exchanged, by communicating with a cryptocurrency exchange server, for an aggregate amount of currency other than cryptocurrency.

Abstract: A method for controlling access to a computing device includes detecting one or more wireless devices configured as wireless access points. A handshake operation involving the computing device and a key device may then be performed. The method further includes receiving, at the computing device and during a calibration phase, wireless signals transmitted by the key device wherein during the calibration phase the computing device determines an approximate signal strength corresponding to a desired distance between the computing device and the key device. Subsequent to the calibration phase, other wireless signals transmitted by the key device are received at the computing device. The method further includes detecting, based upon a received signal strength of the other wireless signals, that the computing device and the key device are separated by at least the desired distance and, in response, electronically locking or otherwise inhibiting user access to the computing device.

Abstract: A method for controlling access to a computing device which involves detecting, at a key device, one or more wireless devices configured as wireless access points. A handshake operation involving the key device and the computing device is performed wherein the computing device is included among the one or more wireless devices. Wireless signals transmitted by the computing device are received, during a calibration phase, at the key device. During the calibration phase the key device determines an approximate signal strength corresponding to a desired distance between the key device and the computing device. Based upon a received signal strength of other wireless signals transmitted by the computing device, it may be detected that the key device and the computing device are separated by at least the desired distance. If so, the computing device may be electronically locked or user access to it otherwise inhibited.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for a pet food palatant composition including mixed alkali metal pyrophosphates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a mixed alkali metal pyrophosphate comprising spraying a mixed orthophosphate into a recycling bed of mixed alkali metal pyrophosphates at a kiln temperature of 350 C to 550 C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a material having the formula: (MxHy)+4(P207)?4: where M is a cation selected from the group consisting of monovalent cations, divalent cations, and trivalent cations; H is hydrogen, P2O7 is the pyrophosphate anion, and y is a number between 2.2 and 3.8; and x is a value sufficient to balance the overall charge of said compound comprising mixing and heating 105-112% polyphosphoric acid or pyrophosphoric and a compound having a monovalent metal cation or a compound having a divalent metal cation or a compound having a trivalent metal cation.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for estimating a time associated with shifting a first workload from a first compute environment to a second compute environment, separate from the first compute environment, estimating a likelihood of success associated with a likelihood that the first workload could successfully be shifted to the second compute environment, dividing or using the likelihood of success by the time to yield or produce a risk-adjusted shift time and, when a comparison of the shift time is longer than a maximum acceptable wait time, proceeding with a first operation associated with how to preempt the first workload by the second workload.

Abstract: A server includes a scanning module for determining whether an application is free of malware, a module for packaging the application into blocks for delivery via application streaming, a module for providing the blocks to a client on request, and a module for adding to each block an indication of whether the associated application has already been determined to be free of malware. A client includes a module for requesting blocks of a streamed application from the server. When the client receives a block, it employs a module for verifying that the associated applications have been determined to be free of malware by examining the indication provided by the server. If verification is successful, then the block's code is executed without first receiving and scanning any additional blocks from the server.

Abstract: Block-level operations are tracked within a storage subsystem. Metadata corresponding to the block-level operations are collected within the storage subsystem between snapshot (i.e., backup) instances. The collected metadata are referenced to ensure that only overwritten data blocks are copied to the backup device. The present invention leverages the capabilities of flashcopy operations, frees the host from costly housekeeping tasks, and facilitates efficient backup operations independent of a host or filesystem.
