Abstract: Provided herein are various enhanced techniques for ultraviolet decontamination via emission of ultraviolet radiation and tracking emission exposure. An example method includes obtaining an emission characteristic for a radiation source. The method also includes capturing a depth map of a scene comprised of one or more objects and processing the depth map and an emission characteristic to determine an indication of exposure levels of the one or more objects to radiation emitted by the radiation source. An exposure visualization is generated based at least on the indication of exposure levels and displaying the exposure visualization.

Abstract: A design and construction method for a Collapsible Cryogenic Storage Vessel can be used for storing cryogenic liquids. The vessel provides the ability to be packed for transport in a compact state and erected at the point of use. The vessel can be used multiple times. The vessel's volume can also be adjusted during use to minimize or eliminate head space in the vessel.

Abstract: The present invention is a remotely activated flag pole that raises and lowers a flag automatically and stores a flag within the hollow flag pole assembly when the flag is lowered. The flag pole includes a cap that lowers into place over the flag receiving section as the flag is lowered and allows the stored flag to remain dry and out of the weather when the flag is in its lowered stored position.

Abstract: A method of screening candidate agents for their ability to modulate RAGE activity where such RAGE activity is induced by an active co-located GPCR, the method comprising the steps of: contacting a RAGE polypeptide with a GPCR polypeptide in the presence of a candidate agent where the GPCR polypeptide is constitutively active and/or is activated by addition of an agonist, partial agonist or allosteric modulator of that GPCR; and detecting whether the candidate agent is a modulator of RAGE ligand-independent activation of RAGE by activated co-located GPCR by detecting an effect indicative of modulation of RAGE activation by the presence of the candidate agent and/or by detecting RAGE-dependent signalling that is modulated by the presence of the candidate agent.

Abstract: Segments of a local range can appear multiple times in the sequence of erasure sets in a manifest without the data being duplicated. A subset of the content of an erasure set can be included in the logical object. It is not required that all erasure sets in an object use the same encoding. A manifest can indicate one or more portions of the logical object for which no data has been provided, and for which a “fill” pattern is specified. A portion of data can be inserted at any point inside the object by inserting a reference to one or more segment sets containing that data into the manifest. If the desired insertion point is within an existing segment set, then that manifest set can be “split” by incorporating two references to it, with the first specifying the range of data before the insertion point, and the second specifying the range of data after the insertion point. Many operations are thus enabled on an erasure-coded object in Object Storage such as “append”, “insert,” “overwrite” and “merge.

Abstract: A clamping assembly includes a shaft, a first plurality of clamps, and a second plurality of clamps. Each of the first and the second pluralities of clamps includes a first wall, a second wall extending outwardly from the first wall in a first direction, and a third wall extending outwardly from the first wall in a second direction. Each of the first plurality of clamps is longitudinally spaced apart by one of the second plurality of clamps. The second walls of the first plurality of clamps are transversely spaced apart from the second walls of the second plurality of clamps. The first and the second walls of the first and the second pluralities of clamps collectively define a first slot that receives the shaft. The first and the third walls of the first and the second pluralities of clamps collectively define a second slot for receiving adjacent components.

Abstract: A turbine frame cooling system for use with a gas turbine engine includes an outer ring defining a cavity and a hub positioned radially inward of the outer ring. The turbine frame cooling system also includes a plurality of circumferentially-spaced first fairings coupled between the outer ring and the hub and a plurality of circumferentially-spaced second fairings coupled between the outer ring and the hub, wherein the first and second fairings are alternatingly positioned about the hub. The turbine frame cooling system also includes a plurality of circumferentially-spaced air scoops coupled to the outer ring. The plurality of air scoops extend into a bypass stream and are configured to channel a bypass air cooling flow into the cavity of the outer ring.

Abstract: A communication device (e.g., a cable modem (CM)) includes a digital to analog converter (DAC) and a power amplifier (PA) that generate a signal to be transmitting via a communication interface to another communication device (e.g., cable modem termination system (CMTS)). The CM includes diagnostic analyzer that samples the signal based on a fullband sample capture corresponding to a full bandwidth and/or a subset (e.g., narrowband) sample capture to generate a fullband and/or subset signal capture (e.g., of an upstream (US) communication channel between the CM and the CMTS). The diagnostic analyzer can be configured to generate sample captures of the signal based on any desired parameter(s), condition(s), and/or trigger(s). The CM then transmits the signal to the CMTS and the fullband and/or subset signal capture to the CMTS and/or a proactive network maintenance (PNM) communication device to determine at least one characteristic associated with performance of the US communication channel.

Abstract: A cable network gateway receives a downstream broadband signal via service provider cabling at an interface. An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) converts the downstream broadband signal to a digital downstream broadband signal. A digital filter attenuates an upper spectrum from the digital downstream broadband signal to produce a filtered digitized downstream broadband signal. An in-home communications transceiver produces a digital in-home communications signal that overlaps the upper spectrum. Summing circuitry sums the filtered digitized downstream broadband signal with the digital in-home communications signal to produce a combined digital signal. A Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) converts the combined digital signal to a combined analog signal and an in-home cable interface transmits the combined analog signal via in-home cabling. The downstream broadband signal may be a Data over Cable System Interface Specification (DOCSIS) 3.0/3.

Abstract: Exterior wall systems, cladding for same and components of such systems, including a clip for use in mounting cladding and a thermal block comprising a silica aerogel material.

The processor may determine at least one condition associated with a channel configured to transmit the plurality of messages to a user interface. The processor may further select, in response to the at least one condition associated with the channel, at least one of the plurality of messages to be transmitted to the user interface over the channel.
