Abstract: Systems and methods of processing business related data arising from multiple revenue sources (e.g., sales, subscriptions, professional services, vendors, etc.). In some embodiments, the inventive system and methods enable a more flexible and efficient approach to identifying revenue source events (mediation), pricing those events (typically as part of a rating process), and subsequently leveraging those “ratable events” in the billing and revenue recognition subsystems according to configurable rules and schedules. Data regarding those charges or other aspects of a ratable event may then be used and processed by multiple sub-systems that are part of operating a business; such sub-systems may include one or more of ERP, CRM, HCM, financial, accounting, taxation, or other business-related system or function.

Abstract: Systems, methods, filters, and devices are disclosed for quality control monitoring for samples collected and stored on filters. Sample collection devices and filters have markers that act as quality control indicators for one or more procedures involving a sample such as collection, storage, transport, and elution. Practice of the disclosure herein allows for sample evaluation to enhance downstream applications such as ongoing monitoring of a patients health status through the accurate, repeatable measurement of markers in a sample. Reference biomarkers can be used to enhance assessment of health status. In some cases, the present disclosure enables the detection of a disease signal and assessment of disease status through the measurement and analysis of biomarkers in a sample.

Abstract: A support assembly includes a support member and a track assembly. The support member may include a conductor and/or a pin. The track assembly may include a bus bar. The conductor may be configured to rotate with and/or about the pin to selectively engage the bus bar. The conductor may be configured to rotate about a vertical axis to selectively engage the bus bar. The conductor may be substantially curved and/or substantially planar. The conductor may include a first position and/or a second position. The conductor may not be in electrical contact with the bus bar when in the first position and/or the conductor may be in electrical contact with the bus bar when in the second position. When the conductor is in the first position, the conductor may not restrict removal of the support member from the track assembly.

Abstract: A track assembly includes a track, a support member, a support member conductor, a first conductor and a plurality of second conductors. The support member conductor may be configured to move substantially laterally and electrically contact the second conductors. The second conductor may be configured to move laterally and electrically contact the first conductor. The support member conductor may be configured to move the second conductor into electrical contact with the first conductor. The first conductor may extend substantially in the longitudinal direction and/or the first conductor may be disposed at least partially in the track. The plurality of second conductors may be disposed such that the support member conductor may be in contact with at least two second conductors of the plurality of second conductors in all positions of the support member relative to the track.

Abstract: A contact hearing protection device is provided. The contact hearing protection device comprises a perimeter platform, a chassis connected to the perimeter platform, a control system including at least one variable limiting element, and an umbo platform connected to the at least one limiting element. A sound level which meets or exceeds a predetermined level is detected, as can be indicated by an increased magnitude of movement of the umbo platform, and the limiting element increases the limiting in response to the increased magnitude of movement of the umbo platform.

Abstract: An electrified display system for use with a retail shelving unit that employs a backer panel that has pair of right-angled electrical conductors disposed in a recessed channel on its front surface. The backer panel can selectively engage and couple the electric power to a first display panel having a straight-in electrical connector that engages a first leg on each of the right angled conductors, or second display panel having a twist and lock electrical connector that engages a second leg on each of the right-angled electrical conductors.

Abstract: A seat assembly includes a seat back that is pivotable about an axis of rotation, and a reclining assembly. The reclining assembly includes a base, a carrier secured to the base and including a rod guide, a curved rod interfacing the rod guide, a spring having a fixed end and a rotatable end, and a curved spring housing that extends over the spring.

Abstract: Methods and computer systems related to image-based data analysis such as mass spectrometric data analysis. Methods and computer systems herein utilize multiple micro-processes operating concurrently to carry out rapid, efficient, and automated analysis of mass spectrometry data.

Abstract: In a meter for performing a measurement of an electrical parameter, an output from a sensor is sampled to produce at least one sample, and an iterative method is performed comprising: producing further samples; holding in memory a stored array of samples comprising the at least one sample and each of the further samples from each iteration; determining a measure of statistical variability of a mean for the respective iteration from a measure of statistical variability and from the number of samples used to generate the measure of statistical variability; comparing the measure of statistical variability of the mean with a pre-determined threshold; and generating an electrical signal indicating a state of the measurement if the measure of statistical variability of the mean of the samples taken during the measurement is less than or equal to the pre-determined threshold.

Abstract: A multiple-stage amplifier includes a driver stage die and a final stage die. The final stage die includes a III-V semiconductor substrate (e.g., a GaN substrate) and a first transistor. The driver stage die includes another type of semiconductor substrate (e.g., a silicon substrate), a second transistor, and one or more secondary circuits that are electrically coupled to a control terminal of the first transistor. A connection (e.g., a wirebond array or other DC-coupled connection) is electrically coupled between an RF signal output terminal of the driver stage die and an RF signal input terminal of the final stage die. The secondary circuit(s) of the driver stage die include a final stage bias circuit and/or a final stage harmonic control circuit, which are electrically connected to the final stage die through various connections.

Abstract: A thermally insulating panel (e.g., vacuum IG window unit) includes first and second opposing substrates spaced apart from one another by a plurality of spacers. A low pressure space is defined between the substrates, and is hermetically sealed off by at least one edge seal. During evacuation of the space, a plasma is ignited within the space via a static grid assembly in order to reduce the time needed to evacuate the space down and/or to help remove debris from within the space to the desired low pressure.
