Abstract: A method of joining workpieces includes the steps of bringing a first workpiece and a second workpiece together, induction heating a susceptor material, and pressing the workpieces together. Each workpiece may include a thermoplastic material, and the workpieces are brought together at a joint interface so that a protrusion of the first workpiece is aligned with a receptacle of the second workpiece. The susceptor material is in contact with the thermoplastic material of the first workpiece during heating such that the thermoplastic material of the first workpiece softens. The step of pressing is performed while the thermoplastic material of the first workpiece is softened, thereby reshaping the first workpiece where the susceptor material is in contact with the thermoplastic material of the first workpiece. The protrusion is deformed to form an interlock with the receptacle at the joint interface.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, optical devices, and machine readable mediums for utilizing uncertainty ranges along with ECC in power level modulation schemes. Photon counts within the uncertainty ranges are not demultiplexed and the data is recovered later by the ECC algorithm without retransmissions. This improves performance by reducing error rate by changing demultiplexing behavior to take advantage of characteristics in the ECC algorithms.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sealing a pothead connection to prevent external fluids from leaking into an ESP motor. In one embodiment, a pothead housing has a set of sealing assemblies, where each of the sealing assemblies has a sealing body that is positioned in a port of the motor's housing to form a direct seal against both a corresponding motor lead extension cable and the motor housing. The sealing assembly has a pothead terminal that is electrically connected to the conductor of the corresponding cable. When the pothead is secured to the motor housing, the pothead terminal engages a corresponding motor housing terminal positioned in the port. The motor housing terminal is connected to the motor windings, so this electrically connects the motor lead to the windings. An insulator is positioned to electrically isolate the motor housing terminal from the housing itself.

Abstract: An electric pallet conveyor includes a slide moveably supported on a guide-rail of a track. The electric pallet includes a motor for propelling the slide along the guide rail. A first gear pulley is attached to the slide and rotatable about a first gear pulley axis of rotation in response to a rotational torque output from the motor. A second gear pulley displaced from the first gear pulley is rotatable about a second gear pulley axis of rotation. A pulley belt connects the first gear pulley to the second gear pulley and is operable for transferring a rotational torque from the first gear pulley to the second gear pulley. A drive pulley fixedly attached to the second gear pulley engages a drive rail of the track to propel the slide along the guide-rail.

Abstract: The present invention provides synthetic peptide compounds and uses thereof for therapy and diagnostics of complement-mediated diseases, such as inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, and microbial and bacterial infections; and non-complement-mediated diseases, such cystic fibrosis and various acute diseases. The invention is directed to modifications of a synthetic peptide of 15 amino acids from the Polar Assortant (PA) peptide, which is a scrambled peptide derived from human Astrovirus protein. In some embodiments, the invention is directed to peptide compounds that are peptide mimetics, peptide analogs and/or synthetic derivatives of PA (e.g., sarcosine derivatives) having, for example, internal peptide substitutions, and modifications, including PEGylation at the N-terminus and C-terminus. The invention further provides methods of selecting at least one synthetic peptide for treating various conditions.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and technique selectively eliminates the noxious signal components in a neuronal signal by creating an interfering electrical signal that is tuned to a given frequency corresponding to the oscillatory pattern of the noxious signal, resulting in a modified neuronal signal that substantially reproduces a normal, no-pain neuronal signal. The disclosed system and technique of pain relief is based on the hypothesis that the temporal profile of pain signals encodes particular components that oscillate at unique and quantifiable frequencies, which are responsible for pain processing in the brain.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems, methods, and devices for routing communications that ingress into a telecommunications network by appending a virtualized trunk group identifier or other customer identifying number within a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) messages associated with the communications. In one particular embodiment, a user field within header information of SIP messages may be appended with a trunk group identifier unique to a particular customer device providing the communication to the network. Specifically, a customer premise device (such as an integrated access device (IAD)) may be configured to append a customer-specific trunk group identifier number into a portion of a header of a SIP message of the communication. The call and associated SIP message information, including the appended trunk group ID, may then be routed to a host routing device.

Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to processing metadata requests using a cache. For example, a metadata object, such as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) object, may be processed into two or more portions. The two or more portions or data generated based on the two or more portions may be stored into a cache. After receiving a request for the metadata object from a computing device, the metadata object may be generated based on the data stored in the cache and the generated metadata object may be transmitted as a response to the request for the metadata object. Further aspects relate to personalizing the metadata object at the cache prior to transmitting the response to the request for the metadata object. Further aspects relate to updating a portion of the metadata object, such as a portion that includes dynamic data, prior to transmitting the response to the request.

[ Solution] An information processing apparatus includes a display panel 101a, a touch panel 101b for detecting a finger moving on the display panel, and a control unit 103 for designating a predetermined moving direction Dd and determining an operation state of the apparatus based on a difference between the designated moving direction Dd and a moving direction Da of the finger moving on the display panel according to the designation. When the apparatus is operated with either hand, a difference due to a finger used for the operation easily occurs between the designated moving direction and the moving direction of the finger due to a structure of the hand.

Abstract: Data convolution for geographically diverse storage is disclosed. Data chunks stored in storage devices of different zones of a zone storage system can be convolved to conserve memory. The zone storage system can be a geographically diverse storage system. A convolved chunk can be stored at a zone that does not contribute to the data represented in the convolved chunk. In an aspect, a copy of a first chunk from a first zone can be created at a third zone, which can facilitate convolving the data of the copy with data from a second zone as the data from the second chunk of the second zone is received at the third zone, e.g., without having to create a local copy of the second chunk, which can be termed ‘on-arrival convolving’ or other similar terms. The copy of the first chunk can then be deleted. Copies of the convolved chunk can be created.
