20150100780 | INTERCEPTING ENCRYPTED NETWORK TRAFFIC FOR INTERNET USAGE MONITORING - Example methods disclosed herein include intercepting, with a meter executing on a computing device, a request sent by a client application to establish a secure communication session with a network server. Such disclosed example methods also include receiving, at the meter in response to forwarding the request to the network server, a first public key provided by the network server for encrypting a session key, and providing, from the meter to the client application, a second public key associated with the meter instead of the first public key provided by the network server in response to the request being intercepted. Such disclosed example methods further include using the first public key and a private key associated with the second public key to enable the meter to access an unencrypted version of the session key, and monitoring, with the meter, the network traffic using the unencrypted version of the session key. | 04-09-2015 |
20160078459 | METHODS AND APPARATUS TO MONITOR MEDIA PRESENTATIONS - Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor media presentations are disclosed. An example method includes collecting demographic information from a user, transmitting the demographic information to a central facility, generating a panelist identifier identifying the user, and hosting a web server to serve the panelist identifier to media that is instrumented with monitoring instructions executing on the media device, the monitoring instructions, when executed, to collect monitoring information and transmit the monitoring information along with the panelist identifier to the central facility. | 03-17-2016 |

20090026757 | RISER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - An improved gas riser assembly for transmitting gas from an underground gas service line to a meter manifold includes an elongated plastic tube having a first end and a second end. The first end is adapted to be connected below ground to the underground gas service line and the second end is adapted to be disposed above ground. A protective casing is annularly received about the elongated plastic tube. The protective casing has a first end adapted to be disposed below ground and a second end disposed above ground. An adapter is sealingly connected to the second end of the elongated plastic tube for fluidly connecting the elongated plastic tube to the meter manifold. The adapter is also sealingly and weldiessly connected to the second end of the protective casing. To assemble the gas riser, an insert member of the adapter is connected to the second end of the elongated plastic tube. The insert member with the elongated plastic tube connected thereto is inserted into the second end of the protective casing until the insert member protrudes from the first end of the protective casing. A cover member of the adapter is threadedly connected to the insert member. The cover member is threadedly advanced along the insert member to capture a radial flange of the protective casing between the cover member and the insert member thereby securing the insert member and the cover member to the protective casing. | 01-29-2009 |
20150115186 | INSTALLATION OF A VALVE IN A PIPELINE - A process and apparatus for installing a valve in a pipeline while the pipeline is pressurized, and without leakage of pipeline media. A valve body is formed by attaching a sleeve with an annular space to a pipeline, filling the annular space with curable material, and then machining a cylindrical hole through the pipe, into which a valve is inserted. | 04-30-2015 |

20130043079 | Multi-Scale System and Method - Exemplary embodiments of a multi-scale system and method comprise at least two scale elements with respective scale readouts and control logic. The control logic may be configured to activate the scale elements and weight readouts concurrently throughout a selected period of time as a result of a single transaction. The system may preferably be operated within a travel service facility, such as an airline or bus terminal, for allowing a traveler to simultaneously and independently weigh multiple pieces of luggage, and redistribute the contents therebetween prior to checking the luggage with any travel service within the travel service facility. Each scale platform may include a cage element adapted to provide lateral support and stabilization for the object placed on the respective scale platform. The system may include a network connection by which the system can be remotely controlled, monitored and updated from an off-site location. | 02-21-2013 |
