Abstract: A telescoping device mount is configured to hold an electronic device. The telescoping device mount is configured to fully extend or fully retract the electronic device. The telescoping device mount includes a telescoping post, a mount segment, and a base. The telescoping post includes an inner post segment and an outer post segment. The mount segment is configured to secure an electronic device thereto. The mount segment includes an outer collar slidably securable to the outer post segment of the telescoping post. The base is secured to the inner post segment such that the outer post segment telescopes relative to the inner post segment. In a fully retracted position, the electronic device is proximate to the base and/or an underlying surface.

Abstract: An adjustable wrap-around container system is provided comprising a plurality of connectable modules. Each module includes an outer perimeter wall and an inner perimeter wall defining an outer volume therebetween, the inner perimeter wall surrounding an inner volume that may contain, for example, a post. The inner and outer perimeter walls may both include two segments, joined at an angle, such as 90°, at their inner edges. A module connects to an adjacent module by sliding a tab on the module into a slot in the adjacent module. By adjusting how far each module slides into the adjacent module, the dimensions of the inner volume may be varied. The assembled container can retain solids, such as soil for plants, liquids, or other materials.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for a migration tool that rapidly transfers metadata between a source content archive and a target content archive. In one aspect, the rapid transfer is facilitated by customizable multithreading that includes the ability to suspend and/or resume migration. In a further aspect, migration between the source content archive and the target content archive is facilitated by allowing at least metadata associated with content stored in the source archive to be transferred between the systems. An external data storage component is provided that allows applications to access the target system using the migrated metadata while also providing access to associated content stored in other locations. Therefore, the actual content in the original source archive may be eventually migrated to the target system while applications are provided seamless access.

Abstract: Various arrangements for managing access to unstructured data are presented. A plurality of access requests may be received from a plurality of remote computer systems to a plurality of business entities stored by a content management server. In response to receiving a request for access to a business entity of the plurality of business entities stored by a content management server from a remote computer system, an identifier request may be transmitted to the content management server. A response from the content management server may be received in response to the identifier request. A resource locator that comprises the identifier may be created. The resource locator may be transmitted to the remote computer system for use in accessing the business entity.

Abstract: An adapter blank is provided which is adjustable in size to join generally tubular structures of different diameters, such as pipe insulation cladding, together. The adapter blank includes a tapering wall having a rim defining a larger diameter matching larger diameter pipe insulation cladding to be joined by the adapter. An overlapping edge extends away from the rim. Graduations are located at various different constant distances away from the rim. Indicia, such as numbers, are preferably provided adjacent at least some of the graduations to indicate the various different smaller diameter pipe insulation cladding sizes. The adapter blank is cut along the graduation corresponding with the smaller diameter pipe insulation cladding to be joined with the adapter. The adapter blank is thus modified into a finished adapter ready for installation joining together pipe insulation cladding, or other tubular structures of different diameters; or terminating an end of pipe, tank, vessel or other tubular structure.
