Abstract: In one illustrative example, a controller for use in a private mobile network may determine network service requirements for an industrial device. The controller may select, from a set of network slices, a subset of network slices having network service requirement configurations that most closely support the network service requirements. Each network slice of the set may be associated with an affinity ranking value that is indicative of a service performance of the network slice for industrial device operation in a cell or a zone associated with a zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may identify, from the subset of network slices, a selected network slice associated with a best affinity ranking value for the zone or security level value assigned to the industrial device. The controller may assign the selected network slice and associated service parameters for the communications of the industrial device.

Abstract: An embodiment system and method for dispensing multiple dairy products includes a dispenser which houses two or more dairy product bases with different formulations, which may be combined with or without water to create a multitude of homogenous dairy beverages. The two or more dairy product bases may be mixed together first and then separately mixed with water, mixed together simultaneously with water, or mixed together without adding water. They may be mixed together with or without additional flavoring, ingredients, mineral or nutritional additives. The dispenser comprises a pump with a quick-release mechanism to allow for quick and clean maintenance of the system.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for inspecting an object by optical triangulation, where the signal of interest in a captured image corresponds to an interaction between a light beam and an environment surrounding the object rather than between a light beam and the object itself. The surrounding environment may be configured to interact in a manner that is detectable by filling it with a flowable scattering medium, e.g. a gas, mist or vapour comprising a suspension of fine particles in air. Light that is scattered by the flowable scattering medium is visible in a captured image. Where the flowable scattering medium is not present, e.g. because the object blocks it, the scattered signal is less. A boundary of a scattered signal region may thus provide information about the location of an object.

The DNS is to dynamically map a respective set of domain names for each account to network addresses of the respective group of virtual servers, provided for the account. The DNS performs the mapping according to a mapping function indicated in the respective settings file of the account. The respective settings file of a first account accounts includes a mapping function that is different from a mapping function included in the respective settings file of a second account.

Abstract: A neutron reflector design which lowers stress in inner reflector members by supporting the inner reflector members on radially adjacent outer reflector members at the interface between the inner and outer reflector members, such that an individual inner reflector member is not supported by an inner reflector member in a layer of the reflector assembly immediately below, and the inner reflector member does not have to bear a load from an inner reflector member in a layer of the reflector assembly immediately above. The lowering of the load carried by the individual inner reflector members with this individual-member-support arrangement reduces stress-induced reflector damage with is enhanced in the high radiation flux environment adjacent to a nuclear reactor core. The inner reflector members are removable for replacement without the need to remove the outer reflector members.

Abstract: A privacy glazing structure may include an electrically controllable optically active material that provides controlled transition between a privacy or scattering state and a visible or transmittance state. To make electrical connections with electrode layers that control the optically active material, the privacy glazing structure may include electrode engagement regions. In some examples, the electrode engagement regions are formed as notches in peripheral edges of opposed panes bounding the optically active material. The notches may or may not overlap to provide a through conduit in the region of overlap for wiring. In either case, the notches may allow the remainder of the structure to have a flush edge surface for ease of downstream processing.

Abstract: Various prison services are rendered more efficient by providing inmates access to portable electronic devices in a controlled and regulated manner. A dispenser is employed to control and monitor the checking out and return of portable electronic devices and to communicate with such devices during use by inmates to monitor inmate use and ensure the portable electronic devices are only used by inmates as authorized.

Abstract: A method of maintaining a pressure input path in a sensing array is described. The sensing array comprises a plurality of sensing elements, and the method involves activating a first sensing element to determine a first location data point and activating a second sensing element to determine a second location data point. The state location (x,y) and state velocity (Vx, Vy) are calculated based on the first and second location data points to create a state vector. A predicted path of further location data points is determined from the state vector to avoid drop out problems with pressure inputs.
