Abstract: Computer interfaces are provided for managing and deploying contextually relevant event canvases based on entity roles. Some systems are configured for identifying events and generating contextually relevant canvases associated with those events, which are contextually based on roles assigned to the events. A master canvas is also provided for facilitating navigation between the various canvases and to assign roles to the canvases, as well as for facilitating management configuration of the canvases. The master canvas includes a tabbed interface that allows navigation, configuration, and insight into the various canvases.

Abstract: A wireless device receives configuration parameters comprising first parameters of downlink RSs and second parameter indicating that a default beam is used for uplink transmission. A DCI indicating a first uplink transmission via a PUSCH resource is received. A spatial relation information, for the first uplink transmission, is determined to be associated with one of the downlink reference signals in response to the second parameter indicating that the default beam is used. A transport block is transmitted via the PUSCH resource according to the spatial relation information.

Abstract: A system and method for communicating events between applications. A first application receives event information for an event. A first action is performed by the first application in response to receiving the event information. The first application generates an event message comprising an event name and a message payload. The message payload comprises at least a portion of the event information. The first application publishes the event message by sending the event message to an event message pipeline. A second application may listen for the event message in the event message pipeline, receive the event message from the event message pipeline, and use the message payload to perform a second action, wherein the second action is different from the first action.

Abstract: A downhole tool comprising magnesium is placed in a well bore in a subterranean formation for performance of a downhole operation. After performance of the downhole operation, rather than mechanically retrieving or removing the tool, at least a portion of the magnesium in the downhole tool is dissolved by contacting the downhole tool with an aqueous ammonium chloride solution.

Abstract: In at least some implementations, a fuel pump assembly includes a fuel pump having an inlet through which fuel enters the fuel pump and a first outlet from which pressurized fuel is discharged for delivery to an engine, and a second outlet through which some of the fuel discharged from the fuel pump is routed wherein that fuel is not delivered to the engine, wherein the second outlet has a flow area that permits a flow of fuel through the second outlet that is sufficient to reduce the maximum pressure of fuel downstream of the first outlet for delivery to an engine to between 1/10th and 1/25th of the output pressure of the fuel pump without flow through the second outlet.

Abstract: A power-takeoff (PTO) unit for a work vehicle includes a planetary gear driven by an engine of the work vehicle; a PTO spline connected in power transmission to the planetary gear and defining a gear ratio; a hydrostatic transmission driven by the planetary gear to control the gear ratio; a pressure sensor unit for sensing a differential pressure across a loop of the hydrostatic transmission; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to calculate a differential pressure in the loop from a calibration mathematical model representing an unloaded functioning of the PTO spline. The control unit is also configured to calculate a PTO spline torque from a further mathematical model. The model is based on the pressure drop, on pressure signals from the sensor unit, and on kinematic or hydraulic factors of the planetary gear and the hydrostatic transmission.

Abstract: Metastable state spore incubation mixing systems are described. An example system includes a spore container to store spores, a nutrient container, an arrangement of valves and tubes, a reciprocating pump, a mixing tube, and a holding tank. In a drawing phase of the system, a controller can control the reciprocating pump to draw a ratioed volume of the spores, the nutrients, and water through the valves and tubes. During an expelling phase of the system, the controller can control flow control valves to direct the spores, nutrients, and water through the mixing tube and into the holding tank. The controller can also direct a heater to heat the mixture in the holding tank to a predetermined temperature. Once the mixture reaches the temperature, the controller can also direct the system through a number of other phases of operation, including cooling and purging phases.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for enhancing wireless message throughput at high traffic density and high interference rates, by use of a managed message transmission protocol in which the base station instructs each node to transmit or retransmit a DAT message. For example, the base station may determine which node has experienced the most delays and may grant that node permission to transmit immediately, while instructing other nodes to wait their turn. Protocols can provide, under control of the base station, prompt mitigation and message completion after messages are corrupted by interference. The average delays, collision rate, and failure rate may be substantially reduced while the success rate and uniformity of access may be substantially improved. The managed transmission protocols can be incorporated in current and planned systems by software updates at low cost, while retaining the ability to receive and process messages from legacy nodes transparently, according to some embodiments.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods to streamline the mechanism by which data users access differently regulated data through the use of one or more integrated identifiers. The integrated identifiers lessen or eliminate the need to separately maintain one set of identifiers for regulated data and another set for non-regulated data. The methods and systems may be applicable in various credit and healthcare contexts where regulations over data use are prevalent. In one or more embodiments, a data user receives a unique integrated identifier for each of the data user's current or prospective customers, and the integrated identifiers can be used to persistently identify and track the customers over time and across applications that access regulated and/or non-regulated data. In the healthcare context, a healthcare provider may utilize a patient ID as the integrated identifier. To protect privacy, the integrated identifier may not include social security numbers or birthdates.

Abstract: A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.
