Abstract: A supporting assembly for an outdoor computing system is disclosed. The supporting assembly includes a holder having a base from which a peripheral wall extends and a foldable unit mechanically attached to the holder within the peripheral wall. The foldable unit has a first side, a second side connected to the first side and movable relative to the first side, and a third side connected to the first side and movable relative to the first side. The supporting assembly further includes a plurality of springs including a first spring and a second spring, the first spring being attached between the first side and the second side, the second spring being attached between the first side and the third side. The foldable unit is configured to change between an open configuration and a closed configuration, the foldable unit being maintained in the open configuration solely by the plurality of springs.

Abstract: An attachable support module for attachment to an electronic equipment casing. The support module allows the electronic equipment casing to be raised from a ground surface to allow cables to be attached to the underside of the casing. The support module includes a case having an exterior plate and a parallel interior plate. A support member is rotatably mounted between the exterior plate and the interior plate of the case. The support member has a collapsed position within the case and an extended position extending from the case. A pivot arm engages the support member in the collapsed position.

Abstract: Illustrative embodiments provide a computer-implemented method for indicating a change in a service offering. The computer-implemented method generates a token representative of a state of the service offering, and determines whether the service offering has been modified to form a modified service. Responsive to a determination that the service offering has been modified, generates a token representative of the state of the modified service, and determines whether the service offering has been restarted to form a restarted service. Responsive to a determination that the offered service has been restarted, generates a token representative of the state of the restarted service, and provides the token to a requester.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for correlating entities between a service provider and a service requester is provided. The computer-implemented method receives a request for a service from a service requester and determines whether the request contains an entity token representative of an entity referenced by the service requester that can be resolved. When the entity token is not resolved, the entity token is sent to a token correlator that requests the service requester, or an authorized party, to provide entity information. The token correlator forwards the entity information to the service provider to validate and return encrypted to the token correlator from which is generated a new entity token. The new token is sent to the service provider and, selectively, to the authorized third party, and used for locating the service of the request by the service provider.
