Abstract: Technology for a repeater is disclosed. The repeater can include a signal path configured to carry a signal having a selected radio frequency (RF) bandwidth on an RF carrier at a selected frequency. The signal path can include an intermediate frequency (IF) filter block operable for down-conversion of the RF carrier to an IF carrier to enable the selected RF bandwidth of the signal to be bandpass filtered at an IF filter bandwidth having an IF passband frequency range and the IF passband frequency range of the IF filter bandwidth is greater than the selected RF bandwidth. The down-conversion to the IF carrier can provide increased crossover attenuation or midband isolation of the RF carrier for the repeater.

Abstract: A communal computing device, like an interactive digital whiteboard, can detect the start and end of user sessions with the device. When a communal computing device detects the end of a user session, the it can determine if a personal device that was connected at the start of the user session or during the user session was also connected at the end of the user session. If so, the device can initiate actions based on the session start or end signals such as, but not limited to, transmitting a message to an organizer of a meeting scheduled during the time of the user session, transmitting a message to a participant of a meeting scheduled during the time of the user session, transmitting a message to an administrator, or generating a notification, such as a user interface reminding a user to take their personal device.

Abstract: An electrode is supported on a prosthetic liner to communicate electrically with a residual limb. A housing is fixed to the liner, and is receivable in a socket in an installed position. A processor is installed in the housing in communication with the electrode. Electrical signal contacts are exposed at a distal end of the housing for contacting electrical signal contacts in the socket. The housing defines a ground current path that communicates with a ground contact in the socket.

Abstract: A water sanitization cap for covering a bottle is provided. The cap may screw-fit on a conventional water bottle. The conventional water bottle may store drinking water. The cap may include a UV-C module. When activated, the UV-C module may destroy bacteria and/or viruses within the water. The cap may also include a particulate filter. The particulate filter may filter out particulate matter from the water when water is being suctioned out of the bottle. The water may be suctioned out of the bottle using a foldaway straw included in the cap.

Abstract: Metadata is replicated. For instance, in response to receiving a request for replicating metadata to a target node, information of an index structure associated with the metadata is obtained. The index structure may include terminal nodes for storing the metadata and index nodes for storing index information of the terminal nodes. Next, the metadata from the terminal nodes is extracted based on the information of the index structure. Further, a sequence is generated to be replicated of the metadata. The sequence to be replicated includes items of the metadata, and locations of the items in the sequence to be replicated are determined based on key information corresponding to the items. In addition, the items of the metadata, in the sequence to be replicated, are replicated to the target node. In this way, only the metadata in the index structure is replicated, thereby reducing the data amount of replication.

Abstract: An automotive booster cable system includes a first battery clamp attached to a first battery a second battery clamp attached to a second battery; an optional electrical plug adapter with an adapter electrical connector for mating with the second battery clamp; and a booster cable assembly having a first polarized electrical booster connector for mating with the first battery clamp and a second polarized electrical booster connector for mating with either the electrical plug adapter or the second battery clamp.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium for proving feedback on database instructions, identifying, for example, existing patterns and providing suggested replacement instructions. This may have the effect of improving the efficiency of instructions used to create and/or manipulate databases. According to some aspects, these and other benefits may be achieved by parsing received instructions into an organizational structure, traversing the organizational structure for known patterns, and suggesting replacement patterns. In implementation, this may be effected by receiving one or more sets of known patterns and corresponding replacement patterns, parsing received instructions, comparing the known patterns with the parsed instructions, and providing suggested replacement patterns based on one or more known patterns matching the parsed instructions. A benefit of may include reducing Cartesian products during the merging of tables.

Abstract: An example operation may include a method comprising one or more of sending, by a device, a notification message to a server, when a threat is determined on a device, developing a simulation to spread awareness of a situation in response to the sending, requesting, by the server, a permission to present the simulation to the device, sending, by the device, a response message in response to the requesting, and executing the simulation, by the server, when permission is granted on the device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting and assigning objects to sensed values. An object detection arrangement includes a processor that is programmed to execute a first branch of instructions and a second branch of instructions. Each branch of instructions includes receiving a modality from at least one sensor of a group of sensors via a respective interface and determining an output value based on the modality. The object detection arrangement includes an association distance matrix. Modalities of different branches of instructions define different modalities of an object external to the object detection arrangement. The object detection arrangement cumulates the output values, and the association distance matrix associates an object to the cumulated output values to thereby detect and track the object external to the object detection arrangement.

Abstract: A rotating hanger running tool is provided allowing torque to be transmitted to a sleeve and then the casing by a set of directionally and rotationally biased dogs while bypassing a right-hand thread engaging the running tool to the casing. Upon rotating the tool in the opposite direction torque is transmitted to the right-hand thread causing the running tool and the casing to disengage.

Abstract: A data center cooling system includes a housing to contain electronic racks of IT components operating therein, a coolant distribution unit (CDU) situated within the housing to control a liquid flow of a cooling liquid. One or more liquid cooling devices are disposed on the IT components to receive a first liquid from the CDU, to exchange or extract heat generated from the IT components, to transform the first liquid to a second liquid with a higher temperature, and to transmit the second liquid back to the CDU. The CDU is coupled to a heat transfer system to dissipate the exchanged heat to an external environment. The data center cooling system includes an airflow delivery system to generate a direct or indirect airflow to travel through the servers of the electronic racks to remove heat generated by the servers to the external environment eliminating chiller and IT fans.

Abstract: An intelligent battery charge equalization and monitoring system may assist in the management of battery string health by detecting individual batteries within a string that may need servicing. The system may detect a battery within a string that is charged to a higher voltage than other batteries within the string and discharge the overcharged battery until the battery's charge is equalized with the other batteries in the string. The system may use metrics related to how often individual batteries within a string of batteries must be equalized and utilize these metrics to perform maintenance actions.
