Abstract: Cartridge-based thermocyclers can include cartridges that are configured to move a fluid between distinct chambers. In some cases, the cartridge-based thermocyclers can be used for thermocycling a sample fluid comprising a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) target to perform polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Individual chambers can be heated, cooled, and/or compressed to mix fluid within the chamber or to propel fluid in the chamber into another chamber. The cartridges can have a laminate construction. The cartridges can be configured to enable multiplexed thermocycling and/or detection.

Abstract: A blade has an airfoil, and the blade is configured for use with a turbomachine. The airfoil has a throat distribution measured at a narrowest region in a pathway between adjacent blades, at which adjacent blades extend across the pathway between opposing walls to aerodynamically interact with fluid flow. The airfoil defines the throat distribution, and the throat distribution reduces aerodynamic loss and improves aerodynamic loading on the airfoil. The airfoil has a linear trailing edge profile.

Abstract: Part materials for additive manufacturing applications include materials with a fluoropolymer processing aid (material-FP). These materials include one or more thermoplastic polymers and one or more fluoropolymers as a processing aid. The material-FP is used to build parts with additive manufacturing systems. Parts built using material-FP have improved physical properties including improved strength in the z-direction of the parts. Composite systems such as reinforced filaments with the material-FP also have a higher density.

Abstract: Example embodiments provide a system and method for automatically selecting calendar-based, multiple event options. The system accesses calendar data that indicates events that a user is scheduled to attend, and extracts data for the events from the calendar data. The system constructs a plurality of application program interface (API) requests by including the extracted data for the events as one or more search criteria in the API requests. The system transmits the API requests to a server of a service provider. In response, the system receives results from the server, which comprise options determined to be compatible with the events based on the one or more search criteria in the API request. The system causes presentation of at least some of the options from the results determined to be compatible with the events.

Abstract: A computer-implemented agent process running on a first computer automatically intercepts a command issued from the first computer to execute on a target computer prior to invocation of the command on the target computer. A server profile built for an application running on the target computer that supports the command may be retrieved. At least based on the server profile a risk enforcement policy is dynamically constructed. Based on the risk enforcement policy, one or more computer-executable enforcement actions to perform prior to sending the command to the target computer for execution is determined. Based on executing of one or more of the computer-executable enforcement actions, the command may be transmitted to execute on the target computer or prevented from executing on the target computer.

Abstract: Described is a retail store fixture that includes an electric charge circuit. The electric charge circuit generates a positive electric charge, or voltage, in response to the motion of a moveable portion of the retail store fixture. The retail store fixture can be a shopping cart or other fixture with a moveable portion. The positive electric charge is deposited on a part of the retail store fixture that it is desired to sterilize. The positive electric charge repels bacteria, sterilizing the portion of the retail store fixture that receives the positive charge. A shopping cart, for example, equipped with the electric charge circuit can be sterilized without requiring chemicals or power to be supplied to the cart. Rotation of the shopping cart wheels can be used to generate the voltage. The voltage can be used to sterilize a shopping cart handle, and/or other parts of the shopping cart.

Abstract: A torsional damper assembly for a vehicle powertrain is provided and is configured to dampen torsional vibration transfer between an engine and a transmission of the vehicle. The assembly includes a hub having a flange defining a window, a biasing mechanism disposed at least partially within the window and configured to absorb a first portion of the torsional vibration from the engine, and a damper body disposed at least partially within the window. The damper body is formed from at least one of a viscoelastic material and a viscoplastic material, and is configured to dampen a second, different portion of the torsional vibration and radial forces from the engine such that the biasing mechanism and the damper body cooperatively dampen the torsional vibration transfer between the engine and the transmission.

Abstract: A universal athleticism rating system and related athletic performance measuring systems for accurately detecting and recording athletic performance are disclosed. The athleticism rating system evaluates individual athletes against a common, standardized, set of athletic performance tests. Each athlete performs the athletic tests and his or her scores in the individual tests are entered into a standardized calculation to produce a single athletic performance score. The related performance measuring system is preferably a timing system that ensures quick, easy, and accurate collection of athletic event timing related data without the need for the athlete to wear any special detection devices or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the performance measuring system integrates with the rating system to provide seamless athletic data collection and rating of athletes.

Abstract: Intelligent advice and transaction handling systems and methods. An embodiment includes a merchant device, a merchant server computer, a consumer mobile device, and a smart preferences computer having a decision engine operably connected to a storage device. The storage device stores instructions configured to cause the decision engine to receive service call data associated with a purchase transaction, and determine that a cardholder associated with the purchase transaction is a registered smart preferences user. The process includes accessing smart preferences cardholder profile data, determining a recommendation including at least a first choice payment card account and a second choice payment card account, and then transmitting the first choice payment card account data to the merchant device for purchase transaction processing when the cardholder profile data includes a permission indication. However, the recommendation is transmitted to the cardholder device when the permission indication is not found.
