  • Patent number: 10157186
    Abstract: The concepts relate to data handling, and more specifically to data handling scenarios where data is revised on one computer and stored on another computer. One example can obtain a set of blobs relating to revisions of a file. The example can determine a target size of datastore blobs. In an instance where a total size of the set of blobs is less than the target size, this example can aggregate the set of blobs into an individual datastore blob. Otherwise, the example can identify new or edited individual blobs of the set and aggregate the new or edited individual blobs into first datastore blobs. The example can also aggregate other individual blobs of the set into second datastore blobs.

The translatable platform may rotate and move through the tunnel at multiple angles. The imaging system may also include a computer and a graphical interface. The computer may receive information collected by the detectors and may reconstruct a three-dimensional image of the cargo or transported container. The graphical interface may display the three-dimensional image or information derived from the three-dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 9830447
    Abstract: Systems and methods for use in verifying a request for access to data in a system comprising a first module having access to a first trusted indicator of time, a second module having access to an untrusted indicator of time and a computing device having access to a second trusted indicator of time. The first module generates a password using at least the first trusted indicator of time. The second module receives a password associated with the request for access to data and validates the received password using at least the untrusted indicator of time. The second module then causes a message to be transmitted to the computing device, the message comprising data indicative at least of the untrusted indicator of time used to validate the received password. The computing device then generates data indicative of a comparison between the untrusted indicator of time and the second trusted indicator of time, and uses the generated data to provide said access to data.

  • Patent number: 9669891
    Abstract: A bicycle (1,51,61,81,91) for children that can “grow” with the child. The bicycle comprises a frame (3,53,63,83,93) having a seat-tube (5). The frame has a front wheel (11), a rear wheel (13), a pair of handlebars (19), and a saddle (15) having a seat-post (17) for insertion into the seat-tube. The bicycle comprises a detachably mounted drivetrain (27) for releasable engagement of the frame to allow conversion of the bicycle to a balance bicycle or a pedal bicycle. Furthermore, the bicycle frame itself is height-adjustable to allow adjustment of the seat tube's (5) height above ground and reach-adjustable to allow adjustment of the distance between the saddle (15) and the handlebars (19). By providing such a bicycle, the bicycle will be convertible from a balance bicycle to a pedal bicycle and will also have a frame that is adjustable in height and reach. This bicycle will be suitable for a wide range of child heights and cycling abilities.
