  • Patent number: 12129052
    Abstract: Systems and methods for achieving pristine microgravity in low earth orbit (LEO) using electric propulsion. Long-duration, low thrust, electric thrusters provide a constant thrust force for a pristine microgravity environment within a given volume of a space vehicle experiencing drag forces in LEO. Large space vehicles in LEO configured to be pressurized for human habitation, for instance having a mass of at least 40,000 kg and an internal volume of at least 400 m3, can use the electric propulsion systems and methods to achieve a quasi-steady acceleration less than or equal to 1.0 ?g for durations of 180 consecutive days or longer.

  • Publication number: 20240338301
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may include a system for testing application resiliency. The system may receive first data associated with a plurality of microservices within a microservice architecture. The system may generate a graphical user interface (GUI) configured to display the first data and an icon associated with each of the plurality of microservices. The system may receive, via the GUI, a selection of the icon associated with a first microservice of the plurality of microservices. The system may transmit a call via an Application Programming Interface (API), from the first microservice to further microservice(s) of the plurality of microservices. The system may receive, via the GUI, a request to transmit a simulated Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) error response code from the further microservice(s) to the first microservice, transmit the simulated HTTP error response code from the further microservice(s) to the first microservice, and monitor a response from the first microservice.

  • Patent number: 10253837
    Abstract: Structural devices for energy dissipation can be designed to provide asymmetrical responses to cyclic axial loading. The energy dissipation devices can be designed to provide a known or predictable response to tensile loading, along with a different known or predictable response to compressive loading. The devices may include a filament which bears a portion of both tensile and compressive loads and a bracing device which provides lateral support to the filament to prevent buckling. Interlocks or a similar restraining mechanism can be used to resist part of either a compressive or tensile load. These components can be configured in such a manner as to provide an asymmetric response.

  • Publication number: 20130247103
    Abstract: A method and system of selecting assets for display in an interactive media guidance application includes receiving a user input indicating interest in a media item; generating a list of media assets related to the media item, selecting, based on priority rules, a subset of the media assets to display in an interactive media guidance application, and displaying an identifier for each of the subset of media assets in the interactive media guidance application screen. The priority rules may assign a first priority to one type of media asset and a second priority to a second type of media asset, and may be based on: whether the media asset has been viewed, and a respective time associated with the media asset.

  • Publication number: 20100125876
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing more flexible multi-user media content access using index points is provided. A plurality of custom index points are maintained in a multi-user or multi-room media system. After receiving a request to view an asset, a listing of the index points associated with the requested asset is presented to the user. Each index point may be associated with a current viewing location within the asset. After receiving a selection of an index point, the asset is accessed at the viewing position referenced by the index point, and the index point is updated based on the user's progress through the asset. Users may assign custom names and descriptions to the index points and be presented with cached video around the index point in order to more easily identify the relevance of the index point.

  • Publication number: 20040189026
    Abstract: A pet refuse collection device includes a container body having an interior formed by a base and a surrounding sidewall. A movable lid encloses the interior. A scoop member is secured to either the container body or the lid so that, when the lid is closed, the scoop member is enclosed in the interior of the container body. A handle may be provided on the container body. In one embodiment, the scoop member is formed as an extension of the container body, for example, as a tongue-like extension, and in another embodiment the scoop member is a spoon-like member having its handle secured to the lid. The lid may be pivotally attached to the container body and may be spring biased to an open position. A latch can be used to retain the lid in the closed position.
