Abstract: Wear caps protect the wearable surfaces of an adapter for an earth working equipment. These wear caps are subjected to erosion and wear by contact with abrasive material, such as experienced in an excavating operation. The wear caps can be attached to upper and lower legs of the adapter and protect them from wear. Each wear cap is secured to a retention feature on an independent mounting structure. The independent mounting structures are aligned and staggered such that installation of a wear cap onto the rearward independent mounting structure is conducted first. The independent mounting structures on an upper leg may be situated one above the other.

Abstract: An example printable structure comprises a first fabric layer that includes a first side that is printable with water-based ink.

An ink migration barrier is bonded to the first adhesive layer opposite the first fabric layer, a second adhesive layer is bonded to the ink migration barrier opposite the first adhesive layer, and a second fabric layer is bonded to the second adhesive layer opposite the ink migration barrier. The second fabric layer is permissive to migration of the water-based ink through the second fabric layer. The ink migration barrier is configured to provide resistance to ink bleed from the first fabric layer to the second fabric layer.

Abstract: A base station transmits a DCI comprising: an allocation of resource blocks for wireless device transmission of uplink data via a subframe of an unlicensed cell; an index indicating a starting position for the wireless device transmission of the uplink data, the index identifying one of pre-configured starting positions; and a field indicating an ending symbol for the wireless device transmission of the uplink data. The ending symbol is one of pre-configured ending symbols. The uplink data is received, based on the DCI and via the unlicensed cell, starting at the starting position in the subframe and ending before the ending symbol. The reception is based on an LBT procedure indicating a clear channel before the starting position of the subframe. The uplink data is mapped, based at least on the starting position and the ending symbol, to resource elements corresponding to the resource blocks.

Abstract: A robust network telemetry repeater system exploits the repeater structure of data propagation and transmission and reception bi-directionality to increase network robustness. For example, multiple perceived receive attempts are created with no additional overhead. The system can be configured whereby nodes “hear” the transmissions of both adjacent and non-adjacent nodes forming implicit acknowledgement (“Acks”), and originating nodes can retransmit until implicit acknowledgments (“Acks”) are “heard,” indicating a successful link relay. Implicit acknowledgment can be applied to bidirectional networks, and bidirectional action can enable all nodes in the network to know the status of all other nodes.

Abstract: A system and method for multicast delivery of messages using a configurable directional 2D router for Networks on Chips (NOCs) is disclosed. The router is well suited for implementation in programmable logic in FPGAs and achieves theoretical lower bounds on FPGA resource consumption. A NOC comprising a plurality of routers may be configured as a directional 2D torus, or in diverse ways, network sizes and topologies, data widths, routing functions, performance-energy tradeoffs, and other options. The NOC may transmit a unicast message from one source client core to one destination client core, or a multicast message from one source client core to a plurality of destination client cores, or an arbitrary mix of unicast and multicast messages, simultaneously. A multicast message destination may include all client cores of routers with a particular first or second dimension coordinate, or all client cores, or some arbitrary subsets of client cores.

The occlusion device includes an insertion element and at least one expandable element disposed on the insertion element. The expandable element is configured to receive a medium via the insertion element and is configured to expand, responsive to the medium, to contact the ear canal. Physical parameters of the occlusion device are selected to produce a predetermined sound attenuation characteristic over a frequency band, such that sound is attenuated more in a first frequency range of the frequency band than in a second frequency range of the frequency band.

Abstract: A computing device initiates a linked capture session to enable automatic image sharing by multiple users and devices. The linked capture session is a group of devices that automatically share captured images during the linked capture session. The linked capture session may be initiated based on a location, a group of people, and/or a time duration. The images captured by devices that are connected in the linked capture session are automatically communicated to a remote storage system that allows all users to access the images through devices connected to the linked capture session.

Abstract: A personalized persistent collection of customized inking tools is provided. In an ink-enabled application, a user is enabled to create new inking tools and to select properties to associate with the new inking tools according to the user's wants/needs. Inking tool elements illustrative of the properties associated with the user-customized inking tools are included in an inking tool tray displayed in a UI of the application. The user-selected properties associated with the user-customized inking tools are stored in a data store that is accessible by the application and other applications from various computing devices. The inking tool tray is consistent across applications and computing devices for allowing the user to create, keep, and roam a customized set of inking tools, and providing the user with one-click access to the user's customized inking tools. Advantageously, the user does not have to repeatedly set up an inking tool with often-used attributes.

Abstract: Techniques for accounting for position-specific differences in user interaction while conducting content item selection events are provided. In one technique, a position-specific factor is determined. The position-specific factor may be based on a ratio of an observed interaction and a predicted interaction. Different positions in a content item feed or on a web page may be associated with different position-specific factors. Eventually, multiple content items are identified for presentation on a screen of a computing device. The content items include a first content item for which a predicted interaction rate is calculated and a second content item for which no predicted interaction rate is calculated. An order of the content items is determined based on the position-specific factor. For example, the predicted interaction rate of the first content item is modified based on the position-specific factor. The content items are presented on the screen based on the order.

Abstract: A surgical instrument has an ultrasonic blade that connects to a distal end of an ultrasonic waveguide. A clamp arm assembly is moveable from an opened position for receiving a tissue, toward a closed position for clamping the tissue. A clamp arm actuator connected to the clamp arm assembly directs the clamp arm assembly from the opened position toward the closed position. An outer sheath surrounds at least a portion of the ultrasonic waveguide. The outer sheath includes a cover removably received against a sheath body, and a sheath securement feature able to detachably couple the cover to the sheath body such that the cover can be detached from the sheath body for accessing the ultrasonic waveguide within the outer sheath.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for syncing multiple electronic devices for collective audio playback. According to certain aspects, a master device connects (218) to a slave device via a wireless connection. The master device calculates (224) a network latency via a series of network latency pings with the slave device and sends (225) the network latency to the slave device. Further, the master devices sends (232) a portion of an audio file as well as a timing instruction including a system time to the slave device. The master device initiates (234) playback of the portion of the audio file and the slave devices initiates (236) playback of the portion of the audio file according to the timing instruction and a calculated system clock offset value.
