Abstract: Video messaging systems and methods utilize a video messaging component based on a video messaging component container stored in a data store. The video messaging component container includes a collaborative video list that shows a list of video content generated by users of the video messaging component. Iterations of the video messaging component are rendered in host applications on client devices. As video content is generated by the iterations, the collaborative video list is updated to include the video content, and the iterations of the video messaging component are updated to reflect changes to the collaborative video list in real-time.

Abstract: Method and system for selecting a vehicle route. For example, the method includes collecting information for a future vehicle trip that will be made by a user, generating multiple routes for the same future vehicle trip, predicting an amount of fuel consumption for each of the multiple routes based at least in part upon information for the route and user driving features of the user, and selecting a route from the multiple routes based at least in part upon the amounts of fuel consumption predicted for the user, where the selected route corresponds to a least amount among the amounts of fuel consumption predicted for the user.

Abstract: A cabinet includes a first compartment coupled to a second compartment with a sealed cable port arrangement separating the two compartments. The second compartment is more robustly sealed than the first compartment. A sealed splice enclosure is disposed in the first compartment. The splice enclosure is more robustly sealed against water intrusion than the second compartment.

Abstract: A die for deforming a workpiece material in a joining tool comprises a head with a top side partially defining a cavity in which the workpiece material is to be deformed, a bottom side opposite the top side, a lateral side arranged between the top side and the bottom side, and a stem which extends along a longitudinal axis from the bottom side of the head. The die further comprises an identification tag, preferably an RFID tag, having an antenna for receiving and/or transmitting a signal, and a storing element for storing information, and the antenna is wrapped circumferentially around the head, such that the antenna entirely surrounds the head. The head may also include a groove extending around the head on the lateral side with the antenna arranged in the groove. Additionally, the die may include a recess with the storing element located in the recess.

Abstract: A rapid-entry shoe having an elastic element to enlarge a foot opening of the rapid-entry shoe and also having a stabilizer to prevent a rear portion of the rapid-entry shoe from collapsing downward.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described for automatic release preparation and deployment for software applications. A server generates a candidate release build of selected software applications to be deployed to a production computing environment, including: building application artifacts associated with the applications and storing the application artifacts in a repository, updating a project configuration file associated with the applications, and creating a release branch associated with the applications. The server deploys the application artifacts of the candidate release build into a functional acceptance test computing environment and validates operation of the application artifacts.

Abstract: A system including a plurality of photovoltaic modules and a plurality of roofing shingles installed on a roof deck. Each of the photovoltaic modules includes a plurality of solar cells. Each of the plurality of roofing shingles includes a core layer and a cap layer composed of a first polymer material and having a first surface and a pattern printed on the first surface. The pattern includes a depiction of a plurality of solar cells that extends between the first end and the second end.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to building surface panels, for example, suitable for covering a support structure of a building. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a building surface panel including a hollow panel body, a fastening strip attached to the panel body, and an overhang attached to the panel body and extending along the lower side of the building surface panel. The building surface panel includes a rear-facing engagement surface disposed at the upper side of the building surface panel and a front-facing engagement surface disposed at the lower side of the building surface panel. The front facing engagement surface is configured to engage a rear facing engagement surface of a lower neighboring building surface panel.

Abstract: A method including transmitting, by a handler device associated with package handler, a message to an access control system requesting access to a secure container secured by an electronic lock mechanism; determining, by the access control system, whether the package handler is authorized to access the secure container based on the received message; transmitting, by the access control system, an unlock command to the secure container in response to a determination that the package handler is authorized to access the secure container; and unlocking the electronic lock mechanism of the secure container in response to successful authentication of the unlock command.

Abstract: A system and method for graph-based discovery of geometry of clinical data are disclosed. The method includes receiving vectors of outcomes of trial subjects; generating, based on the vectors of outcomes, a plurality of metric graphs such that each of the metric graphs includes a same set of nodes corresponding to the vectors of outcomes and the nodes are selectively connected based on a first criterion, the first criterion being based on a set of parameters, the set of parameters being uniquely selected, from a plurality of sets of parameters, for each of the metric graphs; determining, based on the plurality of metric graphs and a second criterion, an aggregated graph and a subset of the plurality of metric graphs; selecting, from the subset of the plurality of metric graphs and based on a third criterion, optimal and most representative graphs; and displaying a graphical representation of optimal graphs.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for securing, by a hypervisor of a host, a first persistent volume used to maintain data for one or more first containers on the host. The method generally includes receiving a request to retain the first persistent volume when the one or more first containers are removed from the host, receiving a first container image associated with one of the one or more first containers, generating a first key for reserving the first persistent volume, the key based, at least in part, on the first container image, and reserving the first persistent volume for exclusive access by the hypervisor using the first key.

Abstract: A system having a boom; a plurality of cameras attached to the boom; and a plurality of lenses on each camera; wherein not all lenses have a same field of view.

Abstract: An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium can include receiving information regarding a purchase by a person, receiving financial account information regarding a financial account associated with the person that was used to fund the purchase, generating rewards information associated with the purchase, generating an authentication token(s) based on the financial account information, sending the rewards information and the authentication token(s) over a network, and receiving a confirmation, over the network, that a rewards account associated with the person has been updated.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a WAN optimization method for optimizing traffic flows through a WAN. The method is performed in a kernel space of a first router at a first site. From a second router at a second site, the method receives, in an optimized data stream from a second site source device to a first site destination device, a file including compressed segments not yet stored by the first router, and copies the compressed segments to a memory shared with a decompression program in the first router's user space. For each compressed segment, the method receives a notification that a decompressed segment obtained by decompressing the compressed segment has been written to a disk storage of the first router, the notification including a block address for the decompressed segment, and updates a cache of the first router with an entry mapping the decompressed segment to the block address.
