Abstract: In some embodiments, a battery separator described herein may comprise a layer having a relatively low apparent density; for example, the density that includes any unoccupied space within the outermost boundaries of the layer may be relatively low. The low apparent density may be attributed to, at least in part, the geometry of the layer. For instance, in some embodiments, the layer may include undulations and/or have at least one non-planar surface (e.g., a corrugated layer; an embossed layer). In some embodiments, a battery comprising a layer having a relatively low apparent density may have desirable properties, including relatively low electrical resistance and/or relatively high capacity. The battery separators described herein may be well suited for a variety of battery types, including lead acid batteries.

Abstract: An application having an application architecture including an application programming interface (API) client capable of automatically retrieving a passphrase from a secure passphrase vault based on a user authentication ID used to access the application is provided. The passphrase is used to access a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) authentication key via an API server communicatively connected to the API client. The SFTP authentication key is used to authenticate an SFTP file transfer request from the application to an intended file recipient.

Abstract: The embodiments herein provide a method for selecting a data item from a directory in an electronic device. The method comprises detecting a first touch input dragging a a first object for a folder to a predetermined region of a screen of the electronic device, displaying at least one second object for at least one item which is included in the folder on the electronic device based on the first touch input, detecting a second touch input to select one object among the at least one second object, and performing an item corresponding to the selected object.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for enabling multi-party and multi level authorizations for accessing confidential information. A first set of access privilege levels, a first set of credentials, a second set of access privilege levels and a second set of credentials are configured corresponding to a plurality of services. A service consumer may be identified using an identifier and thereafter authorized to issue a request for a service based upon authentication of the service consumer using an access privilege level of the first set of access privilege levels and a credential of the first set of credentials. After the authentication, an OTAT is generated. A service provider may be authenticated using the OTAT, an access privilege level of the second set of access privilege levels and a credential of the second set of credentials. The service provider is then authorized to access the confidential information of the service consumer.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described to enable selective viewing of data output in response to a command. The techniques provide generic mechanisms to filter output solicited by commands supported by current and future implementations of an interface. An example device receives from a client device an input comprising an operational command a selection request that specifies a field identifier. A schema enumeration module of the device assigns a unique element number to each element of a class of elements defined by a schema, forming an enumerated schema. An interface of the device receives data conforming to a data description language, and a filtering module filters the textual output by mapping the field identifier specified in the selection request to a unique element number of the enumerated schema. A rendering module renders the filtered data into filtered textual output. The device transmits the filtered textual output to the client device.

Abstract: Analytics Virtualization is a system and method for bridging data and readily usable autonomous computational model based applications using one to many, many to one and many to many relationship. A generalized system is created that allows any data contained virtualized folder to utilize any number of computational model application via a centralized facilitator framework. Framework could be standalone or comprising of network of devices. Devices include but not limited to computers, notebook, tablet, handhelds, smartphones or a custom electronic device. The centralized facilitator framework, acting as a bridging and controlling agent carries all the logistical information that helps connect appropriate data carrying virtual folder with relevant computational model application. This creates an analytics virtualization system that connects right data silos to the right computation model without having them present at the same physical location.
