Abstract: A tool for installing a sensor within a valve hole of a wheel is provided. The tool comprises a body having a handle portion and a head portion. A hook element and an insertion element are each pivotably coupled to the head portion. The insertion element comprises a pocket adapted to receive the sensor and an alignment nib for aligning the sensor in the valve hole. The handle portion is pivotable via lever action when the hook element is engaged with an outwardly facing wheel surface, and the insertion element is engaged with a barrel of the wheel, thereby facilitating insertion of the sensor through the valve hole. When the sensor is fully seated within the valve hole, the insertion element further contacts an inwardly facing wheel surface, thereby preventing over-insertion of the sensor and signaling that the sensor is fully seated in the valve hole.

Abstract: Network authentication, that is more resistant to cyberattacks, uses verification of subscriber identity modules (SIMs) in user equipment (UEs) such as cellphones. A person visits a website with a computer, or calls customer service, to access their user account and their UE receives an interaction identifier (ID) that includes a session ID, an identifier of the customer ID or their UE, and a time indicator. This may be in the form of a QR code displayed on the computer screen or a text message from customer service. The UE forwards the interaction ID to a verification website, providing the IP address or ID stored in the SIM. The verification website compares the UE-provided information with what has been stored earlier by the UE's home wireless carrier to verify the SIM in the UE, providing a proxy for verifying the identity of the person.

Abstract: Verification of a subscriber identity module (SIM), without requiring that the SIM be removed from a user equipment (UE, e.g., a cellphone), is provided in a UE self-initiated process. The UE scans a code (e.g., a QR code posted in a retail facility), or opens an app, to visit a verification website. The UE sends its IP address and/or the identifier (ID) of the SIM inside. If the verification website determines that the IP address of the UE or the SIM ID has a match in a SIM address list, which associates UE IP address and SIM IDs (e.g., integrated circuit card identifiers, ICCIDs), the UE is provided with a time-sensitive scannable code (e.g., QR code) that indicates the UE's SIM is verified. An employee of the wireless carrier scans the code with a terminal to identify the verification and grant access to make changes to the associated user account.

Abstract: Verification of a subscriber identity module (SIM), as represented by the purported owner, is enabled without requiring that the SIM be removed from a user equipment (UE, e.g., a cellphone). The UE scans a code (e.g., a QR code) that contains an address of a verification website and an interaction identifier (ID) that includes a session ID, a UE identification (e.g., a phone number) as reported by the purported owner, and a time that indicates a session expiration. The UE transmits the interaction ID to the website, and also must transmit its own IP address in order to receive the website's response. The website has a list, previously compiled by the cellular service provider, that pairs IP addresses with UE identifications (e.g., phone numbers). The information transmitted by the UE is compared with the list to verify that the UE that scanned the code actually has the SIM, as represented.

Abstract: Systems and methods for redacting malicious URLs and other activatable content from messages are disclosed. A content analysis system may text messages and multimedia messages to determine whether a URL is contained in such messages. If so, the content analysis system may determine the maliciousness of the URL using various techniques, redacting the URL from the message before providing it to the user device if the URL is determined to be malicious. The original message may be stored for user access if desired.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of a cyclic ketone peroxide of half-life time larger than one second at a temperature of 225° C., for producing a controlled rheology polypropylene heterophasic copolymer of melt index MI2 larger than 15 g/10 min, having simultaneously a very high impact resistance and a high flexural modulus.

Abstract: An apparatus for separating liquid from a gas stream. The apparatus includes an elongated housing having a cylindrical inner surface and a gas stream inlet that is tangential to the side wall of the housing so as to cause the entering gas stream to swirl within the housing. A gas stream outlet is located at the top of the housing and a liquid outlet at the bottom. The gas stream outlet can include an elongated tubular member that extends into the housing and has an opening that is located below the housing gas stream inlet. Liquid components of the gas stream separate from the stream under the influence of centrifugal forces that are created by the swirling flow path of the stream within the housing. A liquid outlet and liquid outlet valve are provided for maintaining a minimum level of liquid within the housing so as to maintain a liquid seal within the housing. A level indicator may optionally be provided to monitor the liquid level within the housing.

Abstract: A combustor for oxidizing a combustion fuel and pre-heating one or more reactants for fuel reforming. The combustor includes an elongated housing having an inlet for receiving a combustion fuel and an outlet for exhausting combustion products. The elongated housing further includes a cylindrical side wall, a bottom wall, and a top wall. Inert particles are disposed within the housing adjacent the inlet. A combustion catalyst bed is disposed within the housing above the inert particles that is a mixture of inert particles and combustion catalyst. The inert particles and the combustion catalyst preferably have a volumetric ratio of inert particles to catalyst between about 2:1 and about 4:1. The combustor has at least one heat exchanger within the combustion catalyst bed for heating a reformer reactant and generating steam. Preferably, the combustor includes at least two heat exchangers within the combustion catalyst bed, the heat exchanging elements have different surface areas.

Abstract: An integrated fuel processor apparatus and enclosure for converting hydrocarbon fuel to a hydrogen rich gas. The integrated apparatus includes a fuel processor for producing a hydrogen-rich reformate that contains water and a combustible gas component. The fuel processor is enclosed in a gas impermeable enclosure that has a collection vessel for receiving water separated from the reformate stream. The collection vessel has a drain for directing the water out of the enclosure. The collection vessel is open to the interior of the enclosure so that combustible gases that are entrained in the water can evaporate to the interior of the enclosure. The enclosure has a ventilator for evacuating the combustible gases from within the enclosure. Where high levels of combustible gases are present, the ventilator is configured to direct the gases to a combustor. A gas detection sensor is included in the enclosure to monitor the interior of the enclosure.
