Abstract: Some embodiments described herein are directed to a lid for a beverage container including a lid base, a closure, and a handle. The lid base may define a drinking opening therethrough. The closure may be coupled to the lid base and movable between a closed position in which the closure covers the drinking opening and an open position in which the closure does not cover the drinking opening. The handle may be coupled to the lid base and rotatable about a handle rotation axis. When the closure is in the closed position, the closure remains in the closed position when the handle is rotated within a first handle range. In response to the handle being rotated beyond the first handle range when the closure is in the closed position, the closure automatically moves from the closed position to the open position.

Abstract: A captive shear bolt assembly includes a bolt and a shear coupling. The bolt may have a head, an extension, and a shank. The shear coupling may be configured to be received by the extension. The shear coupling may be configured to receive the extension via an orifice in the shear coupling. The shear coupling may be configured to shear when an upper head of the shear coupling is driven at a threshold torque. When the shear coupling has sheared, the extension may be configured to captively secure the upper head to the bolt. The captive shear bolt assembly may be used in a tap connector for electrically connecting a main conductor to a tap conductor.

Abstract: A system and method for identifying a customer's location at a business and provide notification to a company representative upon arrival of the customer at the business location. Real-time location determinations for the customer and customer location tracking can be provided. One or more wireless beacons communicate with the customer's electronic device. The beacons provide the system with real-time data about the customer's whereabouts, allowing for the confirmation and tracking of the customer at the location. A first non-limiting example of use, include a company that provides food and beverage allowing the customer to place an order for food and beverages on their electronic device and having the order delivered to the person at their current location as determined by the system. Another non-limiting example includes a company using the notification system to have assigned staff members notified of the customer's arrival.

Abstract: A technique partitions a user's original query into plural smaller component queries, each of which has a common part and an instance-specific part. The technique distributes the component queries to plural processor instances of a processor. The plural processor instances transform the respective component queries into query-component responses by acting in parallel, independent of each other. The technique generates a final response based on the query-component responses, e.g., by assembling the component-query responses into the final response. The technique reduces latency because the processor instances work on parts of the user's original query at the same time, rather than as a single stream of consecutive tokens. The plural processor instances have access to a shared cache memory, and utilize relevant data that has been computed in response to previous queries.

Abstract: Generally disclosed herein is an approach for smart topology-aware link disabling and user job rescheduling strategies for online network repair of broken links in high performance networks used in supercomputers that are common in Machine Learning (ML) and High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications. While a disabled link is repaired online, user jobs may continue to run. The broken links may be detected as part of pre-flight checks before the user jobs run and/or during the job run time via a distributed failure detection and mitigation software stack which includes a centralized network controller and multiple agents running on each node. The network controller may ensure that the user jobs are rerouted to healthy links within the same network until the broken links are fixed and tested by the repair workflows, in which case the broken links are enabled again by the network controller for future user jobs.
