Abstract: Aspects for dust collection are disclosed. In one aspect, an apparatus is disclosed, which includes a lightweight portable housing such that a vacuum source, a filter component, and a dust containment component are housed within the lightweight portable housing. The apparatus further includes an input component configured as a conduit between the lightweight portable housing and a dust transition area corresponding to an area between a dust loading component and a dust receiving component. The vacuum source is configured to apply a negative pressure to the dust transition area by creating an air flow from the dust transition area to the lightweight portable housing via the input component, whereas the dust containment component is configured to collect airborne dust removed from the dust transition area and filtered by the filter component. Similar apparatuses are also disclosed to facilitate dust removal from a silo, as well as from a mixer.

Abstract: A haptic communication system includes either a switch assembly or a compilation of discretely installed components. The switch assembly and the installed components utilize a haptic actuator to elicit tactile and/or audibly perceptible haptic outputs. The switch assembly and/or a collective haptic communication system includes a processor communicating with the actuator. Computerized instructions cause the processor to receive a message from an external system, identify either an audio or vibrational output signal, and communicate the output signal to the actuator. The audio or vibrational output signal causes the actuator to propagate a respective pressure wave that elicits an audible or inaudible, vibrational response at the output surface of the actuator. The pressure wave causes tactilely and/or audibly perceptible vibration within the individual switch assembly or within an overall installation such as a seat or steering assembly in a vehicle.

Abstract: A system for transmitting electronic content over a computer network is provided. In one technique, client devices that visit a website send, to a content delivery service, interaction data that indicates that the client devices interacted with the website. Later, a content provider of the website creates a content delivery campaign with the service or establishes (or renews) a retargeting segment for an existing campaign. The content delivery campaign indicates that certain content is to be delivered to entities who have interacted with the content provider, such as by visiting the website. The content delivery service uses the interaction data to identify candidate entities who satisfy targeting criteria of the retargeting segment. If a candidate entity does satisfy the targeting criteria, then the candidate entity is added to the retargeting segment, even though the candidate entity may not have interacted with the website after the retargeting segment was created or renewed.

Abstract: A modular weapon in which the recoil transferring feature attaches to the barrel proximate the breech end of the barrel. The inventive approach allows the assembly of the barrel and the receiver to flex freely while still providing a path for the recoil impulse to travel to an external object—such as the body of the shooter in the case of a shoulder-fired rifle embodiment. This novel approach increases accuracy.

Abstract: Some implementations are directed to generating a personal database entry for a user based on free-form natural language input formulated by the user via one or more user interface input devices of a computing device of the user. The generated personal database entry may include one or more terms of the natural language input and descriptive metadata determined based on one or more terms of the natural language input and/or based on contextual features associated with receiving the natural language input. Some implementations are directed to generating, based on one or more personal database entries of a user, output that is responsive to further free-form natural language input of the user. For example, one or more entries that are responsive to further natural language input of the user can be identified based on matching content of those entries to one or more search parameters determined based on the further input.
