Abstract: According to computerized methods of distributing software and data, software components may be distributed electronically for execution in controlled environments. Such a controlled environment may, for example, restrict the components' ability to communicate through a network to one or more specified hosts. When a component requests data, such as a stream of financial data, the request may specify a source of the data, and the request may be granted or denied by the distributor based on whether the specified source is an authorized source of the data and/or whether the requested data is available from an authorized source.

Each of the locating positions typically includes a plurality of spaced apart ribs at least partially surrounding in a radial arrangement extending about a center point of a connection hole.

Abstract: A sole attachment assembly for attachment to an orthotic bar having a sole to retain a shoe of a user and a quick release member to couple to an orthotic bar. The sole includes a sole body, a release member receiver, a platform on the receiver, guide wings, a centering projection, and a release button barrier spanning between the guide wings. The quick release member includes a release member body, wings extending laterally from the release member body to slide within the guide wings, a locking tab to keep the quick release member coupled to the shoe sole by interfacing with the quick release button barrier, a locating recess in a top potion of the body configured to provide enhanced stability by interfacing with the platform on the sole, and a centering notch at the front of the body configured to interface with the centering projection on the sole.

Abstract: Two or more repeaters can be aligned to provide for RF communication between a wireless base station and user equipment by way of the two or more repeaters. A first repeater can transmit a beacon signal with a plurality of transmit beam patterns, and a second repeater can detect the beacon signal with a plurality of receive beam patterns. The beacon signal can be generated by increasing RF gain in the first repeater to produce RF oscillations.

Abstract: Systems and methods for transaction/file-based management of a plurality of processes associated with various jobs are provided. Through the management of discrete applications, a file distribution manager/scheduler orchestrates automated execution of different types of jobs. The processes executed for the various processes can vary based on job type, or other parameters.

Abstract: A foot orthotic having a foot support where the foot support includes a thermoplastic outer shell, a closed cell foam liner within the outer shell, and a tongue to secure the user's foot within the foot support. The orthotic also typically has includes a lower leg support that includes a thermoplastic outer shell, a closed cell foam liner within the outer shell, and a strap to secure the orthotic to the user's leg within the lower leg support. A cinching mechanism that typically has a rotatable tightening knob is on the lower leg support, and a tightening cable coupled to the rotatable tightening knob and operably connected to the foot support.

Abstract: Provided are techniques for the collection and production of structured electronic data in a judicial setting. The disclosed technology provides a rapid, cost-efficient system for discrete record based ingestion, review and production. Collected information is stored, analyzed, filtered and indexed, all while adhering to strict document preservation and chain of custody requirements. Filtering can be based upon such criteria as record field type, date range, key word searches and individual or group custodial selection. In addition, interfaces and processes for redaction and production delivery format generation for use within the judicial setting are provided. Individual fields within records within collected data sets may be identified for review, applying production disposition criteria, selective redactions and decision justification documentation. Additionally, the techniques provide means to revise, update and reverse modifications to the data set as required by the discovery process.

Abstract: The disclosure provides systems and methods of use pertaining to irrigating and thermally protecting a field of crops. One embodiment provides a semi-closed circuit irrigation and thermal-protection system that circulates heated irrigation fluid from a storage reservoir, through a fluid distribution system associated with each crop in the field, and back to the reservoir. The fluid distribution system incorporates a number of expandable, porous vessels associated with the crops. The vessels receive a large volume of irrigation fluid and, while slowly releasing the fluid into the soil to raise soil-saturation levels, transfer heat from the fluid directly to the crops and to the ambient environment. The system may be activated in discrete bursts to irrigate the crops or activated over a prolonged duration to heat the crops during a freeze or frost event. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
