Abstract: An apparatus and method for capturing and killing ticks. In one embodiment a surface on a roller is coated with an adhesive combined with a compound of cedar oil, citronella oil and rosemary oil. When the roller surface of the apparatus is pressed against a tick, the tick adheres to the surface by the pressure-sensitive adhesive and is subsequently killed by the oil compound.

Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive, from a data stream, a set of data points arranged in a dimensional data space. The device may compare the set of data points to identify one or more clusters using values of a distance parameter for data points included in the set of data points, wherein the values of distance parameter includes different values of the distance parameter for different data points. The device may transmit an indication of the one or more clusters to cause a device to display information associated with the one or more clusters. The device may receive, from the device, feedback information associated with at least one data point, wherein the feedback information indicates that at least one data point is associated with an error. The device may modify a value of the distance parameter associated with the at least one data point to a modified value.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for recommending solutions to execution errors of software packages. An error message related to compilation or execution of computer code is received and, based on a vector representation of the error message and vector representations corresponding to message threads from one or more collaborative messaging systems, a set of message threads that match the error message is identified. Furthermore, a known error message that matches the set of message threads is identified and updated computer code is generated based on the known error message. The updated computer code is then provided to a client device.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for strengthening encryption schemes to side channel attacks. The strengthening of the encryption schemes can involve affine masking of one or more elements of the encryption schemes.

Abstract: A property inspection system includes a mobile inspection device, a camera, a project template generator, a report generator, and an image association program. The project template generator guides the user through an inspection project. The report generator provides a list of defects, along with the number of occurrences of each defect and the number of locations where the defect can be found. The image association program creates a record for each still image taken by the camera, the record including the name, location, and sublocation of the defect shown in the still image. The image association program may also associate video of a defect with the still images of the defect.

Abstract: A surface cleaning apparatus having an air flow path from a dirty air inlet to a clean air outlet and including an air treatment member, a suction motor and a filter assembly in the air flow path. The filter assembly includes at least two spaced apart physical filter elements with the upstream face of the second filter facing the downstream face of the first filter element. The filter assembly is configured to prevent air from bypassing the first physical filter media. The filter assembly includes a gap between the first filter element and the second filter element that acts as a header and reduces the flow rate of air incident on the second filter element.

Abstract: The hand-operated air pump is a mechanical device. The hand-operated air pump compresses atmospheric gas for use in an inflatable structure. The hand-operated air pump comprises a housing and a pump structure. The housing contains the pump structure. The housing transfers externally provisioned motive forces that are required to operate the pump structure. The pump structure compresses the atmospheric gas used in the inflatable structure. The pump structure transports the compressed atmospheric gas to the inflatable structure. The pump structure measures the pressure of atmospheric gas contained in the inflatable structure.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and techniques for performing dead code stripping are discussed herein. For example, in one aspect, a symbol list may be created based on global symbols declared in a static library header. A symbol-to-object mapping may also be created from the static library. The symbol-to-object mapping may include data that maps the global symbols to library objects of the static library. An iteration of a dead code stripping loop may be executed. The first iteration may involve selecting a first global symbol from the global symbol list. The first iteration may also involve, using the symbol-to-object mapping, determining that the first symbol is defined by a first object. Still further, the first iteration may involve adding the first library object to a verified object list. Library objects are then removed from the static library that are absent from the verified object list.
