Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing entities using observations. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data identifying an entity; generating a user interface document that, when rendered by a user device, presents a plurality of attribute values to a user and allows the user to modify one or more of the plurality of attribute values; and storing an observation in a data store, the observation including a user-modified value of one of the plurality of attribute values and a context including one or more of the presented attribute values.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing entities using observations. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an observation, the observation including an updated piece of information about an entity and a context, wherein the context includes at least one value of an attribute describing the entity to which the updated piece of information relates; matching the received observation with a first cluster of observations representing the entity using the context; and associating the received observation with the first cluster of observations.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for generating ads using user assets. In some implementations, a method includes receiving one or more assets associated with advertising in at least one printed publication. One or more ads compatible with ad slots in the at least one publication are automatically generated based, at least in part, on the received assets.

Abstract: An exemplary subterranean hub for an outdoor system for distributing electrical power to a plurality of fixtures is provided, the hub having a body, a plurality of electrical connectors disposed on the body and adapted to accept mating connectors from a corresponding fixtures, means for electrically coupling an external power source to the electrical connectors, and a depth reference marker, connected to the body and adapted to provide a visual verification that the hub is buried at a sufficient depth during installation of the hub.

Abstract: Arrangements and methods are provided for electrically and mechanically coupling a lighting arm to a wiring body. An exemplary arrangement includes a fixture arm, a wiring body, a socket, and a plug. The exemplary socket is affixed to one of the fixture arm and the wiring body, and includes a socket opening and at least one socket electrical contact. The exemplary socket opening includes an outer end, an inner end, and a first mating portion on an internal surface of the socket opening. The exemplary plug is affixed to the other of the fixture arm and the wiring body, and includes a plug body and at least one plug electrical contact. The exemplary plug body includes an end portion, a side portion, and a second mating portion disposed on the side portion. The second mating portion is configured to engage the first mating portion when the plug is coupled with the socket.

Abstract: A new lighting fixture is provided for illuminating a mirror or the like while creating the impression and feel of multiple swag lamps suspended on each side of the mirror. The fixture includes a pair of side lamp assemblies each of which is suspended from a corresponding support arm projecting from a mounting assembly positioned above and at the approximate center of the mirror. To provide compact shipping and easy assembly in the field, the side lamp assemblies are suspended by carrier links which are attached to their associated support arms by quick-fit non-screw unions.
