Abstract: A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto an angled reflector, or mirror, that reflects light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The clipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements “intermittently clipping” into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

Abstract: Anode foil, preferably aluminum anode foil, is etched using a process of treating the foil in an electrolyte bath composition comprising a persulfate, a halide, an oxidizing agent, and a sulfate. An etch resist can be added to the anode foil prior to etching. The anode foil and the attached etch resist can be heated prior to immersing both in an electrolyte bath composition. The anode foil is etched in the electrolyte bath composition by passing a charge through the bath, while maintaining a constant level of persulfate. The etched anode foil is suitable for use in an electrolytic capacitor.

Abstract: Isoform-selective lysine deacetylase inhibitors are described. Inhibitors of the lysine deacetylase enzyme are useful as antitumor drugs and for treating addiction, asthma, cardio-vascular disease, immunosuppression, neurodegenerative diseases, sepsis, sickle-cell disease, uveal melanoma and termination of viral latency, particularly HIV-1 latency.

Abstract: Embodiments describe a receiving element that includes a ferromagnetic structure axially symmetrical around a central axis disposed along a length of the ferromagnetic structure. The ferromagnetic structure includes a groove region defining two end regions on opposing sides of the groove region, where the groove region has a smaller length than the two end regions. The receiving element also includes an inductor coil wound about the groove region of the ferromagnetic structure and in between the two end regions.

Abstract: Implementations include actions of providing a first transaction hash including a digital representation of a digital record between a first peer and a second peer within a digital records platform, the platform provided by the first peer as a host peer, and the transaction hash being generated based on one or more documents underlying the digital record, receiving one or more edits to at least one document from the second peer, updating the first transaction hash to provide: a second transaction hash, and a transaction hash history including the first transaction hash and the second transaction hash, receiving approval of the digital record from each of the first peer and the second peer, and executing a consensus protocol by a notary service of a third node to update transaction objects across the first node and the second node, the updating indicating that the transaction objects are consistent.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for electroplating are described. Apparatus described herein include anode supports including positioning mechanisms that maintain a consistent distance between the surface of the wafer and the surface of a consumable anode during plating. Greater uniformity control is achieved. The consumable anode in one implementation has a plurality of through channels and at least one depression on its surface (e.g., a depression surrounding a channel) that is configured for registering with a protrusion on a component of an anode assembly, such as with a support plate. Fasteners may pass through the channels in the anode and attach it to a charge plate.

Abstract: Anode foil, preferably aluminum anode foil, is etched using a process of treating the foil in an electrolyte bath composition comprising a perfluoroalkylsulfonate, a sulfate, a halide, and an oxidizing agent. The anode foil is etched in the electrolyte bath composition by passing a direct current charge through the bath. The etched anode foil is suitable for use in an electrolytic capacitor.

Abstract: According to one aspect there is provided a screen assembly for a vibrating screening machine. The screen assembly comprises a screen chassis and a screen for screening material such as a solution containing liquid and solids. The screen chassis comprises a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, the screen chassis defining a plurality of openings therethrough from the first face to the second face for allowing passage of a material that has been screened. The screen is attached to the first face of the screen chassis and covering the openings of the screen chassis at the first face. The screen chassis may be made of a light-weight, stiff material. The screen may be made of a durable material such as metal. A method for making a screen assembly is also provided.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide an interactive space based on events likely to occur. A system may be coupled to a vehicle. The events likely to occur may be predicted based on motion of the vehicle and/or other information. Content may be presented to the user. The predicted events may be used as a basis for adjusting the content. This may allow the motion of the vehicle and/or the predicted events to form a part of a user's experience with the interactive space. The users may feel more immersed in the experiences as the vehicle moves.
