In some embodiments, the system is configured to receive a request to access content through a computer and in response to the request, automatically generate a responsive layout based on a display size and a content of the request. In some embodiments, the responsive layout includes a responsive layout editor pane configured to allow the user to customize the responsive layout as desired.

Abstract: A hydraulic turbine includes a runner having a shaft, a runner crown, and a runner tip. Blades are fixed to the runner crown and are rotatable around an axis of rotation in operation of the hydraulic turbine, each blade including a leading edge and a trailing edge. A first chamber is located between the runner crown and a stationary head cover, or within head cover. A second chamber is located in the runner tip. A passage for water is defined between the first chamber and the second chamber. The runner crown has an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion having a larger diameter than the lower portion such that a channel is defined between the upper and lower portions. The channel has a circular shape and a circular symmetry around the axis of rotation and leads to a discharge region below the runner.

Abstract: The invention concerns an inter-blade profile (14) for a turbine runner blade, said inter-blade profile (14) comprising a profile (16), and a plug (18), forming a basis of the profile (16) and intended for being inserted into a corresponding hole (21) made in a blade.

Abstract: The invention concerns a hydraulic turbine comprising blades (2) fixed to a runner crown (12) and to be actuated in rotation around an axis of rotation, each blade being comprised between a leading edge (8) and a trailing edge (10), a stationary head cover (14) and a chamber (16) being located between said runner crown (12) and said head cover (14) or within the head cover, said runner further comprising: means (22) forming at least one passage for water between said chamber and a chamber (28) in the runner tip; an upper portion (121) and a lower portion (122) of the said runner crown, said upper portion (121) having a larger diameter than said lower portion (122) so as to define a channel (24) between them, said channel leading to an exhaust volume (3) of the runner.

Abstract: Corrosion inhibitor and kinetic hydrate inhibitor formulations, and methods of using each are provided. Each formulation optionally includes a fluorophore, which can be used to fluorometrically control dosage of each formulation into an aqueous liquid utilized in a downhole application, thereby providing improved precision of dosage into aqueous liquids having relatively high turbidity, and consequently relatively high light absorbance.

Abstract: In various embodiments, the presently described methods, apparatus, and systems can facilitate decreasing a boot time of a medical device, e.g., an amount of time between when a medical device or system is first turned on or powered on and when the medical device or system is ready to perform its intended function. In some embodiments, the present disclosure can also facilitate conducting tests on the functionality of various operational circuits shortly or immediately after the device/system has been activated. In some cases, the emergency medical devices/systems can report on the status or functionality of operational circuits even before the emergency medical device is fully booted up and ready to perform some or all of its intended functions.

Abstract: The invention concerns a removable cover plate (160) for an inter-blade profile (14, 14a) of a turbine runner blade, said cover plate comprising at least one aeration passage (30) and securing means (161) for securing said removable cover plate onto said inter-blade profile (14).

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are described that relate to location-based indications. An apparatus may include a frame, a sensing device, and a computing device. The frame may include a first set of members spaced apart and oriented in a first direction. At least one member of the first set of members may include an indicator area. The frame may also include a second set of members spaced apart and oriented in a second direction. At least two members of the second set of members may extend between the first set of members to define a container receiving area. The sensing device may be disposed adjacent to the container receiving area and configured to detect movement of containers with respective to the container receiving area. The computing device may be communicatively coupled to the sensing device and configured to cause presentation of indicators within the indicator area.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe an RFID reader tray which includes a receptacle for detecting RFID tags disposed on physical items. In one embodiment, a sidewall is disposed around the periphery of a bottom support structure and extends away from the bottom support structure to form the receptacle. The reader tray includes an RFID antenna disposed under the bottom support structure on which the items can be placed. The material of the bottom support structure is selected such that RFID signals emitted by the RFID antenna can radiate through the bottom support structure and reach RFID tags placed on items in the receptacle. In one embodiment, the reader tray includes a shield for reflecting the RFID signals so that the most of the RFID signals radiate through the bottom support structure and into the receptacle.
