Abstract: Method and system for determining a status of an application previously installed on a mobile device of a user are disclosed. For example, the method includes determining that an application has been installed on a mobile device of a user, determining whether the sensor data is received from the application at least once during a predetermined time interval, determining that the application does not work properly on the mobile device of the user in response to the sensor data being not received at least once during the predetermined time interval, and transmitting a notification to the mobile device indicating that the application does not work properly.

Abstract: An electronic device may implement a virtual elastic queue in memory, where, as needed, the virtual elastic queue grows in size to accommodate more queue elements, or shrinks in size to free up queue-element capacity and space in the memory. The virtual elastic queue may include a virtual queue and one or more physical queues, where the virtual queue provides a mapping to the one or more physical queues, and where a data structure may represent queue elements in the one or more physical queues. Notably, the virtual queue may point to the one or more physical queues, and the one or more physical queues may point to physical queue memory where data elements are enqueued and dequeued. Note that the virtual elastic queue may not have a predefined memory size and, up to a size of the memory, may not be constrained.

Abstract: An individually formed radiating unit, an antenna array, and an antenna assembly are provided. The individually formed radiating unit includes a reflector, at least one radiating element integrated into a first side of the reflector, and a housing disposed on a second side of the reflector.

Abstract: Antennas comprise a reflector and first and second arrays of first radiating elements mounted on the reflector. The antenna further comprises a parasitic element including a metal ring, where the metal ring of the parasitic element is arranged between a first radiating element of the first array and a first radiating element of the second array. The antenna can improve the isolation between adjacent arrays, thereby improving the radiation patterns generated by the arrays.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for predicting deployment growth on one or more node clusters and selectively permitting deployment requests on a per cluster basis. For example, systems disclosed herein may apply tenant growth prediction system trained to output a deployment growth classification indicative of a predicted growth of deployments on a node cluster. The system disclosed herein may further utilize the deployment growth classification to determine whether a deployment request may be permitted while maintaining a sufficiently sized capacity buffer to avoid deployment failures for existing deployments previously implemented on the node cluster. By selectively permitting or denying deployments based on a variety of factors, the systems described herein can more efficiently utilize cluster resources on a per-cluster basis without causing a significant increase in deployment failures for existing customers.

Abstract: Described are modular folding shelves configured for removably connecting with a passenger seat back to support small items. The modular folding shelves can include an attachment portion configured to removably connect with a passenger seat back, a platform portion, and a folding support element connected between the attachment portion and the platform portion. The folding support element can be configured to fold between the attachment portion and platform portion when the platform portion is stowed, and to extend when the platform portion is deployed such that the folding support element supports the platform portion and prevents it from extending beyond the deployed configuration. The platform portion is pivotally connected with the attachment portion to allow the platform portion to fold upward and rest against or proximate to the passenger seat back when the modular shelf is installed and in a stowed configuration, and to extend away from the passenger seat back in a deployed configuration.

Illustrative embodiments of flavorant containers are also provided.

Abstract: A disclosed subsea sediment separation and filtration system includes first and second separation devices, a spreader apparatus, and a storage device. The first separation device receives a water/sediment/oil mixture and from a subsea surface and separates the mixture into a first component containing cleaned sediment and a second component containing a water/oil mixture. The spreader apparatus disperses the cleaned sediment of the first component into a subsea environment of the spreader apparatus. The second separation device receives the second component from the first separation device and separates the second component into a cleaned water component and an oil component. The second separation device disperses the cleaned water component into a subsea environment of the second separation device and provides the oil component to the storage device. The first separation device may include a plurality of hydrocyclone devices, and the second separation device may include a high pressure hydrocyclone device.

Abstract: A material dispense tip includes an elongated hole in an elongated neck that extends from an input end of the neck to an output end of the neck. The hole at the output end of the neck has a first diameter. The output end of the neck is positioned against a die surface. A punch is inserted into the hole at the input end of the neck. An external force is applied to the neck to cause the output end of the neck to be deformed under compression by the die surface, to reduce the diameter of the hole at the output end of the neck from the first diameter to a second diameter that is less than the first diameter.

The seat cushion includes two foam layers, namely, a top thin foam layer and a bottom thick energy absorbing foam layer that are secured together, where the combination of the layers are capable of absorbing high energy Z-direction forces. In one non-limiting embodiment, the top layer is a methylenediphenyl isocyanate (MDI) polyurethane foam and is 12 mm thick, and the bottom layer is an open-cell energy absorbing urethane foam and is 38 mm thick.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for monitoring operation of industrial equipment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a monitoring system is provided that includes a passive backplane and one more functional circuits that can couple to the backplane. Each of the functional circuits that are coupled to the backplane can have access to all data that is delivered to the backplane. Therefore, resources (e.g., computing power, or other functionality) from each functional circuits can be shared by all active functional circuits that are coupled to the backplane. Because resources from each of the functional circuits can be shared, and because the functional circuits can be detachably coupled to the backplane, performance of the monitoring systems can be tailored to specific applications. For example, processing power can be increased by coupling additional processing circuits to the backplane.
