Abstract: A cooking appliance, such as a toaster or oven, has a lifting arm including ribs that form a support surface for a food product in a cooking cavity of the appliance. Each rib can include an opening configured to permit infrared radiation from a heating assembly to pass through the rib to the food product supported by the lifting arm and/or to reduce a thermal mass and capacitance of the lifting arm. The heating assembly can include a support and/or heating element with a curved shape having a concave side facing a cooking cavity. The support and/or heating element can have a planar shape when unstressed and a curved shape when stressed. The heating element may be coupled to the support so as to be slidably movable relative to the support, e.g., so the heating element can slide relative to the support.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing a Network Based Media Processing (NBMP) workflow are provided. A method includes obtaining, by a workflow manager, a network based media processing (NBMP) workflow including a plurality of workflow tasks and a plurality of proximity parameters which indicate a plurality of desired distances between the plurality of workflow tasks and at least one of a media source and a media sink; assigning the plurality of workflow tasks to the media sink, the media source, and at least one cloud element or network element, based on the plurality of desired distances; and managing the NBMP workflow according to the assigned plurality of workflow tasks.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apricot tree, Prunus armeniaca ‘Suapri15’, is characterized by having fruit that is medium sized, with dark orange flesh that ripens midseason. The fruit of the new variety ‘Suapri15’ also has firm flesh, a mildly sweet flavor with abundant aroma and a stone that has very weak adherence to the flesh.
Abstract: A new cultivar of Ilex opaca tree named ‘IPOC’ that is characterized by its upright narrow plant habit when mature; reaching about 17 m in height and 6.7 m in width, its foliage that is slightly large in size, its foliage that is dark green in color, and its heavy berry set.
Abstract: A vehicle traffic sensor for detecting and monitoring vehicular targets is presented. The sensor employs a planar design resulting in a reduced profile sensor. The sensor includes a multi-layer radio frequency board with RF components on one of the sides and both isolation and planar array antennas on the opposing side. The antennas are preferably tapered planar array antennas which include one transmit antenna and one receive antenna. The sensor also includes at least one logic or signal processing board populated with components on a first side and a ground plane on a second side positioned toward the RF componentry of the RF board to form an RF shield. The boards are housed within a housing that is permeable, at least on the side through which the antenna structures propagate.
