Abstract: A graphical user interface allowing one or more users to rapidly perceive and respond to varying operational states. Glyphs depicting differing levels of detail are provided for a top-level manager versus a lower-level operator. As applied to the vehicle paradigm, each individual glyph presents information as to the vehicle's current assigned task, mode, state, status, and its progress in completing that task. Each display shows multiple glyphs representing multiple vehicles. A vehicle in need of attention rises in the depiction whereas a vehicle not needing attention remains in a low position.

Abstract: A diaphragm pump such as a three-chamber diaphragm pump includes a head having an inlet port and an outlet port and defining an inlet side including inlet chambers; and an outlet side having a center outlet chamber. Each of the inlet chambers includes an associated inlet valve. A single shutoff valve controlling fluid flow to the center outlet chamber and a single bypass valve in fluid communication between the center outlet chamber and the inlet side. The single shutoff valve has a plunger with an oval cross-section extending into the center outlet chamber. The single shutoff valve and the single bypass valve have adjustable pressure set points that are adjustable independently of one another.

Abstract: The application describes methods for making a deuterated dextromethorphan of Formula (I), deuterated dextromethorphan produced by these methods, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: A table includes a table top having an underside, a top structure, a base structure, and a control mechanism. The top structure is attached to the table top and includes hollow supports cylinders arranged parallel to each other and a top support bar configured to support a tilt assembly. The support cylinders extend downwardly away from the table top. The base structure includes hollow legs extending upwardly and configured to receive at least a portion of the support cylinders. The control mechanism is operably connected to movement mechanisms disposed within the support cylinders and the legs. The control mechanism is configured to directly and simultaneously control each movement mechanism so as to raise and lower the support cylinders relative to the legs. The tilt assembly is affixed to the underside and to the top support bar and is configured to pivot about a pivot axis.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor assembly includes first and second shields each comprised of a magnetic material. The first and second shields define a physical shield-to-shield spacing. A sensor stack is disposed between the first and second shields and includes a seed layer adjacent the first shield, a cap layer adjacent the second shield, and a magnetic sensor between the seed layer and the cap layer. At least a portion of the seed layer and/or the cap layer comprises a magnetic material to provide an effective shield-to-shield spacing of the magnetic sensor assembly that is less than the physical shield-to-shield spacing.

Abstract: A method comprises the following steps. Entity-generic user records are created for a plurality of users associated with a plurality of entities by analyzing entity-specific user records for the plurality of users, wherein the entity-generic user records comprise respective sets of entitlements for the plurality of users. Entity-generic asset records for assets associated with the plurality of entities are created by analyzing entity-specific asset records for the plurality of assets, wherein the entity-generic asset records comprise respective sets of permissions for accessing the plurality of assets. An entity-generic user record for a given user is utilized to determine whether the given user has access to a given asset by comparing the set of entitlements in the given entity-generic user record with the set of permissions in an entity-generic asset record for the given asset.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a first packet, which identifies a domain name, is received as a content request from a source device in a network. Also, a second packet, which identifies an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the domain name, is received as a response to the content request from a domain name system (DNS) server. A DNS policy-based routing (DNS-PBR) list that lists one or more domain names is then accessed. The DNS-PBR list defines a routing policy based on a corresponding listed domain name. According to the DNS-PBR list, a routing policy that corresponds to the domain name is determined. Then, a routing decision is made based on the routing policy.

Abstract: An automatic meter reading (AMR) system utilizes versatile radio packets that are recognizable by AMR system receivers capable of receiving conventional interval data message (IDM) radio packets. A versatile radio packet includes a packet preamble portion, a packet body portion, and a packet validation portion. The packet preamble portion has a frame synchronization bit sequence that is recognizable by existing or conventional encoder-receiver-transmitter (ERT)-compatible AMR system receivers, such as a bit sequence equal to 0x16A3. The packet preamble portion also has a packet type identifier field and a packet length field. The packet body portion includes at least an endpoint serial number field and a message, where at least the message has a variable length. Optionally, the message includes a message type identifier field and a message value field that can have a plurality of sub-fields.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for low pressure baking to remove impurities from a semiconductor surface prior to deposition. Advantageously, the short, low temperature processes consume only a small portion of the thermal budget, while still proving effective at removing interfacial oxygen from the semiconductor surface. The methods and systems are particularly well suited for treating semiconductor surfaces before epitaxy.

Abstract: Methods and systems of providing positive outage notification are described. In some examples, the system determines there is an outage at a facility and transmits multiple messages notifying a utility of the outage. In some examples, the messages are received at multiple message collectors. In some examples, the system determines restoration procedures based on the messages.
