Abstract: Methods of coating powder coating compositions, particularly substrate powder coating compositions, and methods of making a substrate container, a portion thereof, or a closure for a container, and powder coating systems.

Abstract: Liquid jet or aerosol jet coating compositions, coated coil substrates, and methods of coating a coil substrate are disclosed. The method may include directing a liquid jet or aerosol jet coating composition to at least a portion of the coil substrate. The liquid jet or aerosol jet coating composition may include polymer particles and a liquid carrier including water in a major amount of the liquid carrier. The method may include providing conditions effective for the liquid jet or aerosol jet coating composition to form a hardened continuous adherent coating on at least a portion of the coil substrate.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to a dynamic data threading (“DDT”) system. According one aspect of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, the DDT system can query a source of a plurality of disparate sources and receive results from the source. The DDT system can determine, based upon the results, whether a further query is needed. The DDT system, in response to determining that the further query is needed, the DDT system can query a further source of the plurality of disparate sources based, at least in part, upon the results received from the source, and can receive further results from the further source.

Abstract: Security systems are warned of earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. When an early warning system detects a natural disaster, the early warning system alerts a central server. The early warning system alerts the central server to the natural event and its associated geographic area. The central server may then consult a database and determine the security systems operating in a vicinity of the geographic area experiencing the natural event. The central server may thus warn the security systems of the natural event. The security systems may then implement pre-programmed procedures to protect life and property during earthquakes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for a service assurance platform. A service assurance platform can be provided by a computing device comprising a processor. The computing device can obtain a service order comprising a request for functionality. The computing device can initiate determination of service offerings available to provide the functionality and initiate presentation of the service offerings determined to be available. The computing device can obtain a selection of a service offering of the service offerings and initiate orchestration of the service offering to instantiate a service that provides the functionality.

Abstract: A method includes retrieving a first data set from a switch within a network, the first data set including a set of switch records. Among the switch records included in the first data set is a first switch record associated with and including a field identifying a first trunk group from a set of trunk groups included within the switch. A second data set is retrieved from a configuration management system configured to facilitate an operation associated with the network. The second data set includes a plurality of configuration records, which includes a first configuration record associated with and including a field identifying the first trunk group. When the field included in the first configuration record differs from the field included in the first switch record a report is produced.

Abstract: A method includes issuing a retrieval instruction, such as a database query, to retrieve from a database system a datum associated with a network circuit established outside of the United States. Upon receiving the datum from the database system, it is determined, based on the datum retrieved, whether the network circuit is incurring a charge. It is further determined, based on the datum retrieved, an amount of revenue generated by the network circuit. When the amount of revenue generated by the network circuit is below a predetermined threshold, a termination instruction to terminate a service associated with the network circuit is issued.
