Abstract: Physical shopping carts can have product detection systems and associate physical shopping carts with mobile computing devices (e.g., smartphones, tablet computing devices, smart watches, wearable computing devices). For example, physical shopping carts can be equipped with one or more product detection systems (e.g., scanners, sensors, cameras) that can electronically tally products that are placed in physical shopping carts. Mobile computing devices can be associated with and mounted on the physical shopping carts to provide a variety of enhanced shopping cart features not possible with conventional physical shopping carts, such as electronically tracking the contents of a shopping cart, checking-out from the mobile computing device (instead of at conventional check-out areas, such as point of sale terminals), and others.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system for providing and managing associations between mobile computing device and physical shopping carts used in retail stores includes a physical shopping cart configured to transport physical goods around a store. The physical shopping cart includes a product detection system that is programmed to detect products that are placed in the physical shopping cart, a wireless transceiver to wirelessly communicate with other devices, and a cart identifier that uniquely identifies the physical shopping cart. The system further includes a mobile computing device that is programmed (i) to obtain the cart identifier for the shopping cart, (ii) to establish an association with the physical shopping cart using the cart identifier, and (iii) once the association between the physical shopping cart and the mobile computing device has been established, to output a user interface that provides a real-time summary of the products in the physical shopping cart.

Abstract: A device for controlling the flow of fluid through a conduit from an upstream side of the device to a downstream side of the device. The device includes a valve seat mounted on a casing that defines a valve aperture, a mounting member arranged on the downstream side of the valve aperture; a valve member mounted on the mounting member. The valve member is arranged to selectively open and close the valve aperture thereby controlling the flow of the fluid through the valve aperture. A seal retaining member is arranged adjacent the valve seat and, with the valve seat, defines a seal retaining groove. A compliant seal within the seal retaining groove seals the valve aperture when the valve member is moved to close the valve aperture.

Abstract: A retrofit kit for a power machine can include a detection module configured to be removably secured to the power machine to detect objects around the power machine. A control module can be configured to receive detected object data from the detection module and control the display module based on the detected object data to provide one or more indicators of an object detected by the detection module.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving at a computer a request for a metric describing an execution of an application on the computer and sending from the computer a respective request for the metric to each of a plurality of computing machines. Responses are received at the computer from the plurality of computing machines and are used to send from the computer a response to the request for the metric that was received at the computer.

Abstract: French fries having a potato shell and a solid core disposed within and substantially enclosed by potato shell are provided. The potato shell has a composition that is different from the solid core. The solid core may include fish, meat, cheese, non-potato vegetables, or potatoes that have been fortified with micronutrients, protein, and/or essential fatty acids.

Abstract: A machine includes a memory and a processor. The processor performs steps that include receiving a path to a storage area associated with a programming environment, wherein the machine has been assigned to the programming environment. The processor uses the path to retrieve a list of the applications that define the programming environment, the list comprising an identifier for each application and a path to an executable form of each application. The processor compares the list of applications to applications currently stored in the memory of the machine and removes an application from the memory that is not in the list of applications.

Abstract: To manage dynamic adjustment of the refresh rate of a computer display, the operating system defines at least two playback modes: one or more custom modes that can be selected by applications, and a standard mode which is a default setting for the system that can be expected by applications. The operating system provides an application programming interface that enables an application to request using a custom mode. If approved to use the custom mode, then the application presents frames for display based on the custom mode. The operating system stores timing data for each buffered frame indicating how to play the frame in both standard mode and the custom mode. If a transition back to the standard mode occurs, the operating system uses the timing data to properly present frames of video until the application stops generating frames of video in the custom mode.
