Abstract: An automated boot failure prevention and recovery circuit includes one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon, a processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to electrically disconnect a memory from a power source, short the memory to ground for a predetermined period of time to adjust memory content from a stochastic state to a machine-tolerable state or an acceptable non-failure state. The processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to electrically disconnect the memory from the ground, and electrically reconnect the memory to the power source. The processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to apply a load across the power source, acquire power source information, and notify the user of the battery charge status to preclude loss of memory data.

Abstract: A content distribution system which utilizes a generated code to distribute related content to a user device. The content distribution system generally includes a user device and a central server which are communicatively interconnected via a communication network. The central server generates a code comprising at least one element in a particular visual arrangement. The generated code is related to content which may be stored on the central server, or may be stored on a content server to which the user device may connect. The user device will transmit a code to the central server. The central server identifies the code as relating to the content and either transmits the content directly to the user device, directs the user device to connect to the content server to retrieve the content, or directs the content server to transmit the content to the user device.

Abstract: An integrated mass spectrometer electrospray emitter and fluorescence detector allows improved volumetric measurements of separate components from a liquid chromatography column by improving correlation between the readings of these instruments and reducing dead volume and sample size requirements.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method monitor a device within a zone. A head may wirelessly communicate with an emitter and a hub. The head may connect and/or disconnect power to a battery of the device according to a charge of the battery. The head may monitor an attachment of the head to the device and/or a connection of a cable to the head and/or a port of the device. The emitter may transmit a signal to define the zone and/or the head may receive the signal. A distance between the head and the emitter may be determined using a received signal strength indication and/or a time of flight measurement of the signal from the emitter to the head. The distance may indicate whether the head is positioned within the zone or outside of the zone. An alarm may be triggered if the head is positioned outside of the zone.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and a method monitor a device within a zone. A head may wirelessly communicate with an emitter and a hub. The device may be secured to the head. The emitter may transmit a signal to define the zone, and the head may receive the signal to detect the presence of the device and the head within the zone. A first alarm may be triggered upon removal of the head and the device from the zone. A second alarm may be triggered upon removal of the head and the device from the zone for a time that exceeds a threshold of time. A key may insert into the hub to deactivate the second alarm.

Abstract: An apparatus, a system and/or a method provide for wirelessly collecting data corresponding to a product attached to a security device. The security device associated with the product transmits wireless signals throughout a display area. A computer remotely positioned from the security device receives the wireless signals and stores status data of the security device. The computer wirelessly transmits the status data to a remote server, and the remote server determines statistical data from the status data. The remote server stores the statistical data in a database and facilitates user access to the data.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms for facilitating real-time streaming, filtering and routing of data according to one embodiment. In one embodiment and by way of example, a method includes receiving, at a computing device, one or more data streams from one or more data sources, transforming, in real-time, the one or more data streams into one or more normalized data streams. The transforming includes performing ingestion of the one or more data streams. The method may further include filtering, in real-time, the one or more normalized data streams, and routing the one or more filtered data streams as real-time output to one or more data systems.

Abstract: A communication system for operating a wireless communication network to manage machine-to-machine communications comprises a communication transceiver system and a communication processing system. The communication transceiver system is configured to wirelessly receive a data packet having a packet header, wherein the packet header includes a machine-to-machine communication indicator representing that a machine-to-machine communication in the packet payload is originated and consumed by machines and not human operators. The communication processing system is configured to determine at least one wireless network parameter indicating a state of the wireless communication network, and process the machine-to-machine communication indicator and the wireless network parameter to determine whether to transfer or drop the data packet.

Abstract: An LTE communication system has an eNodeB that exchanges wireless communications with a plurality of wireless communication devices within its a wireless coverage area. The eNodeB, wirelessly broadcasts information associated with a location included within the wireless coverage area for receipt by the wireless communication devices. The LTE communication system also has a control system that receives a request for at least some of the broadcast information associated with the location from a communication device that is not in the wireless coverage area. The control system transfers the requested broadcast information for delivery to the communication device that is not in the wireless coverage area.

Abstract: An apparatus for homogenizing molten glass is disclosed comprising a stir chamber including a rotatable stirrer disposed therein. The apparatus further comprises a catcher coupled to the stirrer shaft, the catcher having a concave, bowl-like shape and adapted to prevent particulate from falling from upper surfaces of the stir chamber into the molten glass. At least a portion of the catcher bottom is in contact with the upper surface of the molten glass, whereas a peripheral edge of the catcher is preferably raised above the upper surface of the molten glass to prevent molten glass from contacting an upper surface of the catcher.
