The second check valve meters fluid flow between one or more of the fourth chamber and the third chamber and the second chamber and the fourth chamber.

Abstract: The present invention provides embodiments of modified upper and lower control arms for attachment to the steering knuckle that came with the vehicle, or for attachment to a modified steering knuckle of an embodiment of the invention, such that the steering knuckle, and in particular the wheel hub opening of the steering knuckle, are located at positions that are closer to the front of the vehicle than the positions provided by the control arms that came with the vehicle. The forward position of the wheel hub relative to the position provided by the factory or stock control arms moves the wheel and tire forward by the same distance, thereby allowing much larger wheels and tires to be mounted on the vehicle which do not rub against or interfere with the wheel well, fender or body mount, thereby increasing the approach angle of the vehicle for use in off-road climbing.

Abstract: A framework for online media distribution of media content that includes streaming video, and tracking of the media content and consumer engagement with the streaming video, is configured to disseminate programs that include media content for display on a publisher site, where the streaming video is embedded thereon. The framework allows consumers to interact with advertisers by engaging with the media content directly. The framework also enables video streaming capabilities on any affiliate network that connects publishers and advertisers, so that the distribution of media content is agnostic and independent of the affiliate networks' platforms. The framework reconciles all actions in such an end-to-end journey by integrating syntaxes of different systems from consumer to advertiser.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently processing withholding payments for constructive dividends. A party that receives constructive dividend payments also has a corresponding short position in a withholding financial instrument. A clearing house computer system adjusts the value of a withholding financial instrument in response to receipt of constructive dividend payments. The clearing house computer system determines a variation margin amount for the short party and processes a variation margin payment from the short party to a withholding account through the variation margin settlement system.

Abstract: Systems methods and devices for transmitting a transport block (TB) over multiple slots. A first grant associated with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process in a first set of slots is received. A first subset of the first set of slots is determined to be available, and a second subset of the first set of slots is determined to be unavailable, for uplink transmission. The TB is segmented into a first segment and a second segment in response to the determination. The first segment is transmitted in the first subset of the first set of slots. A second grant associated with the HARQ process is received to transmit the TB in a second set of slots. The second segment of the TB is transmitted in the second set of slots.

The system is configured to prompt the user or operator of the X-ray system with various informational data to improve the outcome of the X-ray and decrease the frequency of X-ray emissions required to obtain a desirable X-ray image.

Abstract: A surgical fastener applier including a housing containing a compartment, an elongated member extending distally from the housing, first and second jaws and a firing mechanism. The firing mechanism is movable between a first position and a second position to effect firing of fasteners into the tissue clamped between the first and second jaws. A power pack is removably loadable into the compartment, the power pack having a motor and an engagement member removably engageable with the firing mechanism within the compartment when the power pack is loaded into the compartment to effect movement of the firing mechanism. An interchangeable battery pack is removably loadable into the power pack for powering the motor. Bearings restrict axial and radial movement of the firing and articulation assembly in the power pack.

Abstract: In some implementations, a controller may cause a robotic arm connector, of the robotic arm, to be connected to a first compartment connector of a passenger compartment of an amusement ride. The controller may cause a second compartment connector, of the passenger compartment, to be disconnected from a first structure connector of a first support structure. The controller may transport the passenger compartment from the first support structure to a second support structure after causing the second compartment connector to be disconnected from the first structure connector.

Abstract: In a typical data plane application, there is a packet dispatcher which receives packets from the underlying subsystem for distribution among various threads/processes for further processing. These threads/processes may run on various processing elements (PEs) and pass through multiple stages of processing. As new generation system-on-a-chip (SoC) architectures have multiple heterogeneous clusters with corresponding PEs, packet processing may traverse through multiple PEs in different clusters. Since latencies/performance for different clusters/PEs may be different, packet processing on the SoC may take a variable amount of time, which may lead to unpredictable latencies. The present disclosure provides embodiments to solve the problem of packet processing on heterogeneous clusters/PEs by providing a fast path enabler to the applications for SoC architecture awareness.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for content management systems. Multiple components are operatively interconnected to carry out operations for establishing a user device trust level. A content management system facilitates interactions between a plurality of user devices and a plurality of shared content objects. The plurality of user devices are network connected to the content management system. One of the user devices issues a request to access a particular one of the content objects. Responsive to the request, a two-step device check is performed before granting access to the particular one of the content objects. A first step of the two-step device check process is based on environmental information, and a second step of the two-step device check process is based at least in part on analysis of the content of the particular one of the content objects. The actual bits of the content object itself are inspected.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to multi-beam forming networks using an antenna array. A matrix circuit for feeding elements of an antenna array to produce multiple beams is provided. To address beam squint issues, beam squint is mitigated by using a series of phase shifters with specific phase-delay performances between the matrix circuit and the antenna array elements. A linearly increasing or decreasing phase difference in the signals fed into adjacent antenna array elements across the array mitigates or eliminates beam squint in the resulting multiple beams. The phase shifters are programmed to provide this increasing or decreasing phase differences.
