  • Publication number: 20180191824
    Abstract: A method, program product, and apparatus for managing profiles in an access management domain. In an embodiment, attribute field mapping rules are generated for an identity profile schema applied to a plurality of identity profiles and an account profile schema applied to a plurality of account profiles. Each of the identity profiles includes one or more identity attribute fields and each of the plurality of account profiles includes one or more account attribute fields. As part of generating attribute field mapping rules, a synchronization manager iteratively compares, using an edit distance function, data in each of the identity attribute fields with data in one or more of each of the account attribute fields. In response to detecting a match between data in a given identity attribute field and data in a given account attribute field, the synchronization manager increments an attribute correlation value that is associated with the given identity attribute field and the given account attribute field.

  • Publication number: 20180186412
    Abstract: A floor pan includes a mid-body portion having a bottom wall. The bottom wall includes a forward end and a rearward end spaced from each other along a longitudinal axis. The mid-body portion of the floor pan is spaced above a reference plane, e.g., a ground surface, a first height at the forward end of the bottom wall, and is spaced above the reference plane a second height at the rearward end of the bottom wall. The second height is less than the first height to position the second end of the bottom wall nearer the reference plane than the first end of the bottom wall. The contoured shape of the mid-body portion provides an aerodynamic shield to direct airflow underneath components of the vehicle located rearward of the rearward end of the mid-body portion of the floor pan, as well as additional under-floor storage space.

  • Publication number: 20180188748
    Abstract: An electronic device manufacturing system includes a mass flow controller (MFC) that has a thermal flow sensor. The thermal flow sensor may measure a mass flow rate and may include a sensor tube having an inner surface coated with a material to form an inner barrier layer. The inner barrier layer may prevent or substantially reduce the likelihood of a corrosive reaction from occurring on the inner surface, which may prevent or reduce the likelihood of the MFC drifting beyond the MFC's mass flow rate accuracy specifications. This may improve the repeatability of flow detection by the MFC. Methods of measuring and controlling a mass flow rate in an electronic device manufacturing system are also provided, as are other aspects.
