Abstract: A compact light device includes a housing containing an integrated circuit board having a number of components thereon including at least one high CRI LED, a timer for controlling illumination time of the LED, and a switch for activating illumination of the at least one LED. A front face of the housing has openings for receiving lens covers for each LED and an actuator button for operating the switch on the circuit board. A removable spring biased clip allows the light device to be conveniently attached and removed from all types of articles and objects. A battery drawer slides out from the housing to allow replacement of batteries used for powering the components on the circuit board. One or more adhesive pads on the bottom of the housing enable mounting of the light device to any flat surface.
Abstract: A code completion tool uses a neural transformer model to generate candidate sequences to complete a line of source code. The neural transformer model is trained using a conditional language modeling objective on a large unsupervised dataset that includes source code programs written in several different programming languages. The neural transformer model is used within a beam search that predicts the most likely candidate sequences for a code snippet under development.

Abstract: An articulated vehicle speaker system includes a vehicle mount adapted to be mounted on a vehicle and a speaker assembly including front and back injection molded panels which, when joined together, define a speaker compartment at first and second ends of the panels to house a speaker unit and a central compartment which separates the speaker compartments. A pair of spaced, powered hinge assemblies are disposed within the central compartment and hingedly connect the speaker assembly to the vehicle mount to allow limited swinging movement of the speaker assembly between different positions on the vehicle. Each hinge assembly includes a bidirectional, electrically-powered actuator and transmission subassembly. Each subassembly including a rotary output shaft and a set of interconnected transmission elements coupled to the output shaft and to the speaker assembly to automatically swing the speaker assembly based on a command signal.

Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing and interacting with electronic meeting insights are presented. A meeting request that includes a plurality of invitees may be received. The meeting request may be associated with a plurality of related documents based on one or more attributes and a meeting insight related to the related documents may be surfaced. The meeting request may have a low acceptance in relation to a threshold and a corresponding insight may be surfaced to reschedule the meeting. A user may send a time modification suggestion to the meeting organizer and a rescheduling insight may be surfaced. Time and location information corresponding to invitees and the meeting time may be analyzed and reminders may be surfaced for each of the invitees in relation to a meeting location. Attendees may interact with location-based insights to have directions to a meeting surfaced.
Abstract: A method for modifying a brake application of a combination vehicle comprises receiving a temperature signal of a first brake pad of a first brake assembly and receiving a temperature signal representative of a temperature of a second brake pad of a second brake assembly. The temperatures are compared to a first predetermined temperature. The method will determine if service brakes are being applied by a driver and compare a wheel speed of one axle of the tractor with the wheel speed of a second axle of the tractor of the combination vehicle. The method will determine a brake drag exists in response to both the first and the second brake pad temperature being greater than the first predetermined temperature, the first axle wheel speed being less than the second axle wheel speed and the service brakes not being applied by the driver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of removing a lesion from a patient. A method of removing a lesion from a patient includes positioning wire loops of a probe device relative to the lesion. The wire loops are simultaneously rotated and expanded to cut material from the lesion. Irrigation fluid is supplied, via the probe device, to irrigate the material cut from the lesion. The supplied irrigation fluid is aspirated, via the probe device, to facilitate removal of the material cut from the lesion.
Abstract: A shaped support pillow for supporting the head while promoting a back-resting position, The support pillow having a base portion having opposing front and rear edge portions wherein a central portion of the base portion is configured to support against the back of a person's head and wherein a front edge portion is configured to support against the top of the shoulder area of a person. The support pillow further includes first and second opposing supporting members extending from opposing side portions of the base portion configured to envelope and support the back side region of a person's head and neck while limiting the turning of the head.
Abstract: Embodiments of this invention generally relate to ophthalmic laser procedures and, more particularly, to systems and methods for lenticular laser incision. In an embodiment, an ophthalmic surgical laser system comprises a laser delivery system for delivering a pulsed laser beam to a target in a subject's eye, an XY-scan device to deflect the pulsed laser beam, a Z-scan device to modify a depth of a focus of the pulsed laser beam, and a controller configured to form a top lenticular incision and a bottom lenticular incision of a lens in the subject's eye.

Abstract: A method of treating an aqueous solution comprises forming a treatment stream comprising a condensable material. The treatment stream is introduced to an aqueous solution comprising water and a solute to fractionally precipitate the solute out of the aqueous solution and form a solids stream comprising the solute and an aqueous liquid stream comprising at least one solute-depleted solution of the water and the condensable material. The condensable material of at least a portion of the aqueous liquid stream is separated from the water of the at least a portion of the aqueous liquid stream to at least partially reform the treatment stream and form an aqueous liquid product stream depleted in the solute. Aqueous solution treatment systems and additional methods of treating an aqueous solution are also described.
