In a starting position, the seal has two free ends arranged in the circumferential direction of the heat shield, which are arranged adjoining or overlapping one another in the circumferential direction when the seal is in a sealing position.

Abstract: A multiple location load control system comprises a main device and remote devices, which do not require neutral connections, but allow for visual and audible feedback at the main device and the remote devices. The main device and the remote devices are adapted to be coupled together via an accessory wiring. The main device can be wired on the line side and the load side of the load control system. The main device is configured to enable a charging path to allow the remote devices to charge power supplies through the accessory wiring during a first time period of a half cycle of the AC power source. The main device and the remote devices are configured to communicate with each other via the accessory wiring during a second time period of the half cycle, for example, by actively pulling-up and actively pulling-down the accessory wiring to communicate using tri-state logic.

In some instances, a method of securely dispensing a substance to an intended user includes moving a valve of a locking cap fixedly secured to a housing containing the substance to an open state that allows the substance to be dispensed from the housing to the intended user; determining that a unique biometric attribute of the intended user is detected; and dispensing the substance from the housing to the intended user in response to determining that the unique biometric attribute of the intended user is detected.

Abstract: A system and technique for a Request Forwarder as for a computer network architecture is disclosed to provide selective access to one or more cloud services. In some implementations, a computer system may receive a request for access to a cloud service, the request including a container credential. The computer system may determine an identification of the container using the container credential. The computer system may verify that the container requesting access to the cloud service is authorized based at least in part on stored policies. Based at least in part on the determination that the container requesting access to the cloud service is authorized: receiving instance credential from a metadata service. The computer system may include the instance credential with the request. The computer system may send the request to the cloud service. In various examples, the Request Forwarder can be provided as a service.

Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating objects associated with online activities are provided. For a target object involved in online activities, an authentication system accesses data associated with the target object and generates a featurized dataframe for the target object by processing the data associated with the target object. The authentication system further applies a machine learning model to the featurized dataframe to determine an authenticity indicator for the target object and assigns the target object to an authentication stream according to the authenticity indicator determined. Based on the results returned from the assigned authentication stream, the online activities involving the target object may be blocked or permitted.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved data conversion and distribution are provided. A data subscription unit is configured to receive data and information from a plurality of data source devices. The data subscription unit is in communication with a virtual machine that includes backtesting utility configured to generate backtesting data using one or more statistical models and one or more non-statistical models. The backtesting utility may translate the backtesting results into one or more interactive visuals, and generate a graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying the backtesting results and the one or more interactive visuals on a user device. The backtesting utility may update one or more of the displayed backtesting results and the one or more interactive visuals without re-running the modeling steps.

Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to a method for authenticating a user in a digital or physical environment.

Abstract: An apparatus, and a method, performed by one or more processors are disclosed. The method receives a build request associated with performing an external data processing task on a first data set, the first data set being stored in memory associated with a data processing platform to be performed at a system external to the data processing platform. The method generates a task identifier for the data processing task, and provides, in association with the task identifier, the first data set to an agent associated with the external system with an indication of the data processing task, the agent being arranged to cause performance of the task at the external system, to receive a second data set resulting from performance of the task, and to provide the second data set and associated metadata indicative of the transformation. The method receives the second data set and metadata from the agent associated with the external system and stores the second data set and associated metadata.
