Abstract: The present disclosure may use reverse forwarded socket connections and rules to manage program code that is being developed. Each developer responsible for developing program code may be provided unique login information that they may use to access data associated with a development environment. Validations of a user/developer and/or computer identity may be performed before a user is allowed to access and update sets of program code. Reverse forwarded socket connections may be associated with endpoints at a remote computer. Once a particular connection is established and a validation performed, identifiers may be used to direct communications to processes, sub-processes, virtual machines, or specific computing resources that are associated with the development environment. By using reverse forwarded socket connections, computers that run different types of operating system software may be used to develop program code without having to install specialized software on those computers.

Abstract: Revving an engine may be helpful in various contexts, such as when servicing the vehicle. For example, in some types of services, a cleaning agent may be introduced into the intake and surrounding regions of an engine, and the engine may be revved to reduce a likelihood that the cleaning agent might puddle. In some instances, a device can be positioned within a vehicle interior and can be used to automatically rev the vehicle engine by depressing on the vehicle throttle.

Abstract: A drive train for a wind-up injection device is described. The drive train includes a torsional energy storage adapted to be loaded or unloaded by a rotatable element, a rotatable user handle, a rotationally driveable expelling mechanism adapted to expel the liquid drug, and a clutch element coupled with the torsional energy storage via the rotatable element and including a ratchet for maintaining the rotatable element at one of a number of discrete angular positions against the torque of the torsional energy storage. The clutch element is adapted to transmit the torque from the user handle to the torsional energy storage, or alternatively from the torsional energy storage to the expelling mechanism. The ratchet is switchable from one position to an adjacent position by a torque transmitted from the user handle to the torsional energy storage. The drive train is adapted to dampen torque peaks visco-elastically and/or visco-frictionally.
