Abstract: A system for branding and deploying backup software includes a branding interface, a branding database, and an installer-generating server. The branding interface receives branding data from a partner associated with a partner machine. The branding database stores the received branding data. The installer-generating server generates a generic full installer capable of installing a software program and generates a branded installation shell in response to a request from the partner and using the stored branding data. The branded installation shell, when executed by the partner machine, retrieves the generic full installer from the installer-generating server. The branded installation shell causes the generic full installer to install in a branded location on the partner machine to make it appear as if the partner generated the software program installed by the generic full installer. Related apparatus, systems, techniques, and articles are also described.

Abstract: A method of assembling a first component to a second component is described. The method includes placing the first component on a fixture having a locator pin, the pin being received in an opening in the first component. Sequentially, the second component is placed on the fixture with the pin being received in a slot in the second component. The slot may be configured to have one end wider than an opposite narrower end. A configuration such as this enables the pin to be received in the wider end of the slot. Consequently, sliding the second component all the way to the narrower end, clearing the pin, relative to the first component, reinforces the two components together.

Abstract: A structural bonding and sealing system for motor vehicle structural joints may include a first structural joint member including a first bonding and sealing surface, and a second structural joint member including a second bonding and sealing surface. The system further includes the first bonding and sealing surface disposed generally adjacent the second bonding and sealing surface, and the first and second structural joint members generally forming the motor vehicle structural joint. An expandable structural adhesive may be disposed between the first and second structural joint members adjacent the respective first and second bonding and sealing surfaces. The expandable structural adhesive may be expandable to substantially fill an area between the first and second structural joint members, to substantially bond the first and second structural joint members, and to substantially seal the first and second structural joint members from water and air intrusion without use of a separate sealant material.

Abstract: A torque transmitting, bicycle frame coupling (50) is provided which connects to the frame tubes (1, 11) of a bicycle. The coupling (50) replaces a portion of the tubes (1, 11) and has clutch teeth (3, 7) on their engaging faces. Installation of two such couplings (50) allows a standard bicycle with standard wheels to be temporarily divided into two pieces, leaving sheathed component cables attached, but removing then from the frame tubes (96, 98) through use of quick connect cable clips (74). Once divided, the bicycle fits in a case (100) with a combined height, width and girth measurement no larger than 62 linear inches and can then be put back together with no loss of original frame geometry or stiffness. Each coupling (50) is actuated, pulling the tubes (1, 11) together and joining them through use of specialized clutch teeth (3, 7) under compression provided by a threaded lug (2), a removeable-shoulder lug (9) with a removeable shoulder (4) and a threaded coupling nut (5).
