  • Publication number: 20220278516
    Abstract: In various representative aspects, an assembly for securing array skirts and solar panel modules in an array on a roof by providing a leveling system that utilizes a barrel bolt and barrel nut to vertically adjust the assembly. Improved electrical bonding by utilizing bonding pins installed in mounting plates of a support clamp are also provided. Additionally, an improved array skirt design that is installed on the outer row of the array, as well as improved designs in the support clamp and splice mechanisms are also provided. Finally, an improved wire management system is included as well as a method of installation of the array assembly.

  • Patent number: 11277270
    Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms for flexible controls around use of cryptographic material such as encryption/decryption keys, key pairs, certificates, and so forth. The system replaces a local cryptographic agent or cryptographic service provider with a modified agent/service provider that redirects requests to utilize cryptographic key material used in a cryptographic operation to a backend system. The backend system receives the request and identifies a cryptographic process from context data associated with the request. The cryptographic process can have one or more controls attached to one or more operations in the cryptographic process. The controls are conditions that must be completed, in addition to successful completion of the underlying operation, in order to complete the underlying operation. A process owner can easily add, remove, and/or rearrange operations as well as controls to provide flexible controls around the use of cryptographic material.
