Abstract: In one example, we describe a method and system for detecting network printers without any knowledge of the network topology. Discovery (our solution) uses three different utilities: Discover Computers runs on a domain attached computer, with a domain user account. It queries AD (Directory Services) and gets lists of users, groups, and computers. The computer list is then used by Discover Ranges. Discover Ranges uses Computers.txt and queries the DNS for the IP addresses. It builds a list of IP addresses used by Discover Printers. Discover Printers uses IPRanges.csv, and with 40 threads, opens port 9100 on each IP address. When successful, it then requests web page(s) to determine manufacturer and model for each device. The end result is UnivDriverlmport.csv, which is directly importable into the Universal PS Driver Wizard in the output management module. Other details and variations are also presented here.

Abstract: A method of injecting fluid into a formation, comprises exerting a mechanical force on a wall of a bore extending through a formation to modify the permeability of the formation; and injecting fluid into the modified formation. The mechanical force may be exerted through inflation of at least one pressure deformable member mounted on a base member. The base member may be a base pipe. The pressure deformable member may be a hollow or tubular member mounted externally of the base pipe. A plurality of pressure deformable members may be provided.

Abstract: A device for supplying flow to a combustor includes a flow sleeve configured to circumferentially surround the combustor, wherein the flow sleeve defines a first annular passage around the combustor. A first section of the first annular passage converges at a first convergence rate. A second section of the first annular passage downstream from the first section converges at a second convergence rate that is less than the first convergence rate. A method for supplying flow to a combustor includes flowing a first portion of a working fluid substantially axially through a first annular passage, converging the first annular passage at a first convergence rate, and converging the first annular passage at a second convergence rate downstream from the first convergence rate, wherein the second convergence rate is less than the first convergence rate.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for dynamic order management. A user can specify at an order originator system an underlyer price, a pricing model, and, in accordance with the pricing model, a desired derivative price and/or desired implied volatility in the form of one or more threshold conditions at which the user desires a trade to be executed. An order executor system receives the dynamic order and a data feed having a data feed underlyer price, and, if in accordance with the pricing model, the threshold condition(s) are satisfied at the data feed underlyer price, the dynamic order is identified as being executable.

Abstract: A leak testing device includes a body portion and a purge gas supply. The body portion defines a cavity. The cavity is operable to enclose a portion of a part to be leak tested. The body portion also comprises at least one fluid port operable to deliver a purge gas to the cavity. The purge gas supply is in fluid communication with that at least one fluid port. The purge gas supply is configured to supply a purge gas through the at least one fluid port. The purge gas is operable to purge the cavity of at least a portion of an atmospheric tracer gas contained in the cavity.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system to simulate, analyze, and optimize the financial aspects of a banking institution's plan to convert existing depository locations to distributed capture technology.

Abstract: Variable step tracking is described in which a monitoring station is operable to receive data signals representative of step movement of an asset as detected by a monitoring device carried by the asset. A database stores a step length of the asset. A step length modification module modifies the step length based on at least one of energy, asset orientation, direction, and frequency associated with the step movement. An asset position is estimated with respect to a known location based on cumulative step lengths.

Abstract: Tracking a person in a building can be performed by obtaining a building layout with respect to a surrounding geography and tracking movement of the person using a monitoring device carried by the person. A correction angle can be calculated to normalize tracked movement of the person with respect to a skew angle of the building layout. The correction angle can be applied to the tracked movement of the person or the building layout.

Abstract: In various embodiments, techniques for flexible resource authentication are provided. A principal attempts to login to a target resource using first credentials. The target resource does not recognize the first credentials and in response thereto forwards the first credentials to an identity service. The identity service authenticates the principal via the first credentials and supplies second credentials to the target resource. The target resource recognizes and authenticates the second credentials and grants access to the principal.

Abstract: A remotely installable piping support attachment assembly employs a T-bolt type fastener for clamping a relatively smaller instrumentation pipe, e.g., the jet pump sensing line, to the wall of an adjacent structure. The attachment assembly includes a T-bolt, a split pipe clamp support, a ratchet nut with peripheral ratchet teeth, and a ratchet lock washer. When the nut is tightened on the threaded shank of the T-bolt, a top plate and an anchor of the split pipe clamp support are pressed together to clamp the jet pump sensing line therebetween. The top plate is defined by an L-beam folded spring plate comprised of first and second plate parts disposed generally in parallel and joined at a living hinge flex joint so that said plate parts each have a free end edge remote from said flex joint, the free end edges being spaced apart to define a gap therebetween without preload.
