Abstract: A process for self testing a fault circuit includes disabling an actuator, performing a self-test by creating a simulated fault signal across at least a portion of a half cycle of a first polarity and across at least a portion of a half cycle of a second polarity, and determining whether the self-test was successful.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for facilitating uplink interference avoidance. According an embodiment, a system can comprise receiving a request to adjust an uplink power limit of a first communication device that is generating an uplink interference above a threshold and a power adjustment value employable to adjust the uplink power limit of the first communication device. The system can further facilitate identifying a packet flow in an uplink communication with the first communication device, wherein use of the packet flow results in generating of the uplink interference above the threshold. The system can further facilitate determining whether the uplink power limit of the first communication device is able to be adjusted based on a quality of service allocated to the packet flow. The system can further facilitate transmitting a message to update the uplink power limit of the first communication device using the power adjustment value.

Abstract: A method includes acquiring data from sources of search query data. The data indicates searches performed at multiple search engines. The method includes identifying a set of search terms from the data, determining a number of times each of the identified set of search terms was searched, and generating a search count for each of the identified set of search terms based on the number of times each of the identified set of search terms was searched. The method includes classifying, based on predetermined criteria, the searches for the identified set of search terms as being active or passive, assigning weights according to predetermined rules to each of the searches based on whether each of the searches is active or passive, and generating weighted search counts by multiplying the search counts with respective weights. The method includes generating a score indicating an interest level in the first search term.

Abstract: Systems and methods for voice-enabled transactions are disclosed. A merchant system may generate a transaction request comprising a transaction amount and a merchant identifier. The merchant system may invoke an audio signal generator to generate an audio transaction signal comprising the transaction request data. A voice assistant may play the audio transaction signal. The user initiating the transaction may use a mobile device to detect and ingest the audio transaction signal. In response to detecting and ingesting the audio transaction signal, the mobile device may interact with a payment network to authorize, process, and complete the transaction request. The payment network may transmit a transaction approval to the merchant system.

Abstract: Air cleaner assemblies, components, features and methods of assembly and use are described. Example air cleaner assemblies are depicted and described in which a main filter cartridge sealing surface is recessed from an open end of a housing body. An access cover of the housing is configured with a portion extending inwardly to engage a main filter cartridge portion and bias it against the main filter cartridge sealing surface. In selected assemblies, the portion of the access cover extending inwardly toward the main filter cartridge, is a precleaner having flow separator tubes therein.

Abstract: The Prosthetic Vacuum Pump is a manually-operated device, that is affixed to or integral with a prosthetic socket. The manual operation allows a wearer to increase the vacuum in the socket cavity if there is any noticeable decrease at any time. The Prosthetic Vacuum Pump includes a removable pump mechanism that allows a user to customize the level of vacuum drawn by the Prosthetic Vacuum Pump. The intake valve of the Prosthetic Vacuum Pump is in direct connection with the cavity of a prosthetic socket. By eliminating vacuum lines, the vacuum pump creates an immediate vacuum in the cavity. The result is an immediate suspension when the prosthetic limb is put on without the need to walk or wait for the battery to draw a sufficient vacuum. The compact construction and optional depress-lock is easily hidden beneath clothing.

Abstract: The system may capture an image comprising an original image size. The system may further determine an optimal size for the image based on a connection bandwidth and/or connection latency. The system may also compress the image to reduce an image size locally until the image size is less than or equal to the optimal size, before transmitting the image with the optimal size to the receiver while controlling latency in image transmission.

Abstract: A device and method to mitigate transient events in a transported medium of fluids and gases subjected to surges, and over pressure events caused by the transient state of a transported medium in a continuous pipeline, where the device has one or more concentrically positioned multilayered composite pipes encased in an outer spool pipe with an annulus space between the spool pipe and the multilayered composite pipes, with flanged adaptors at each end of the device for inline installation in a pipeline, with a management system for receiving, processing and transmitting information gathered in combination with existing pipeline monitoring, and acoustical detection system for receiving and processing of acoustic transmission due to an acoustical wave.

Abstract: A fragrance composition comprising a compound represented by Formula (1): wherein, in Formula (1), R represents a linear or branched alkyl group having from 2 to 3 carbon atoms or a cyclic alkyl group having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A fragrance composition comprising a compound represented by Formula (1) as an active ingredient: wherein, in Formula (1), R1 represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A compound, represented by Formula (1): where X represents an isopropyl group or a t-butyl group, and R represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms; provided that one where X is an isopropyl group, and R is a t-butyl group is excluded.

Abstract: A golf club head comprises a sole, a recessed sole port in the sole; and a rotatably adjustable sole piece adapted to be at least partially received within the sole port and comprising a central body having a plurality of contact surfaces adapted to contact the sole port and being offset from each other along a central axis extending through the central body of the sole piece. The sole piece can be positioned at least partially within the sole port at five or more rotational and axial positions with respect to the central axis, wherein at each rotational position, at least one of said contact surfaces of the central body contacts the sole port to set the axial position of the sole piece. The sole port and/or the sole piece can be generally pentagonal in shape.

Abstract: A fragrance composition comprising a compound represented by Formula (1): wherein, in Formula (1), R represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms.

Abstract: A method includes receiving confirmation that an insurance policy was issued to a subscriber. The insurance policy is associated with a trigger event that would trigger a subscriber claim based on the policy. The method includes determining a plurality of factors that would affect an occurrence of the trigger event. The plurality of factors includes a political factor and an economic factor. The method also includes evaluating a likelihood of the trigger event occurring based on the plurality of factors and providing reinsurance to an issuer of the first insurance policy. The method also includes sponsoring a catastrophe bond to be offered to investors based on the trigger event.

Abstract: A fragrance composition comprising a compound represented by Formula (1) as an active ingredient: wherein, in Formula (1), R1 represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
