  • Publication number: 20250342035
    Abstract: Providing interactive software-development links via user interfaces, based on remotely retrieved information from remote computer networks without requiring users to transition between websites within the user interfaces may be facilitated. In some embodiments, an Application Programming Interface (API) may be provided that is configured to receive one or more commands from a first server and a second server. The system may receive via a monitoring-function installed on a client device, a first message from the first server to update a source code file stored in a software-version controlled repository. The system may determine from the first message, a source code file identifier. The system may then receive, via the monitoring-function, a second message from the second server indicating an update associated with a software-development automation service platform. The system may determine, from the second message, a feature update characteristic and may display a message.

  • Patent number: 11408415
    Abstract: A universal pump assembly mounts, interchangeably, on a canned motor or on an adapter having an outer magnet assembly rotated by a motor. The pump assembly has a casing with an inlet and an outlet, and an impeller rotatable within the casing to pump fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The pump assembly can have either a mounting ring for attachment to the canned motor, or a containment shell having a cup with an inner magnet assembly and a mounting ring extending from the cup for attachment to the adapter. Mounting features of the mounting ring may be threaded holes or internally threaded posts as non-limiting examples.
