Abstract: An orchestration system of or otherwise available to a web platform centralizes the execution of workflow components of a workflow associated with a job posting hosted by the web platform using various software services internal and/or external to the web platform. The workflow components and attributes thereof are determined based on the job posting. Domain-specific language (DSL) instructions for the various workflow components are generated. First DSL instructions are invoked by the orchestration system to cause an execution of a first workflow component of the workflow by a first software service. The orchestration system obtains an output of the first workflow component, such as values of relevant attributes, and, based on the output and in some cases information derived other than from the first workflow component, invokes next DSL instructions to cause an execution of a next workflow component of the workflow by another software service.

Abstract: Hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus for use with trolling techniques behind a boat. In one embodiment, the hydrofoil fishing lure apparatus includes an artificial lure having a body. A hydrofoil that includes a strut and a lifting surface, with the strut for the hydrofoil being attached to the body of the artificial lure is also included. In some variants, the artificial lure may be modeled after flying fish species. Wing retraction elements may be utilized on the hydrofoil to retract or expand the wings of the flying fish to provide for a more natural presentation. Other variants described herein include fishing lure platforms that include a hydrofoil that allow for the mounting of frozen, live, or other types of artificial baits on the hydrofoil itself.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to generating, from a predetermined distillation profile (DPBASE-P) of a multicomponent base fluid, a thermodynamically accurate distillation profile (DPMIX) of a mixture of the base fluid and at least one additive. In an illustrative example, at least one calibrating parameter (P) of a distillation model (DM) is determined according to DPBASE-P. The base fluid and the mixture may, for example, be represented by a base composition profile (CPBASE) and mixture composition profile (CPMIX), respectively, of pure chemical components. The DM may, for example, be calibrated to DPBASE-P to generate a distillation profile of the base fluid as a function of CPBASE and P. The calibrated DM may, for example, be configured to generate DPMIX as a function of P and CPMIX. Various embodiments may advantageously enable rapid characterization of a mixture from a known distillation profile of the base fluid.

Abstract: At least one corrosion protection unit is located adjacent to a region of a structure immersed in an electrolyte. Each corrosion protection unit includes a circuit for applying rectified alternating current voltage between the structure and electrodes in the electrolyte. Each corrosion protection unit includes Reference Cells to produce direct current voltage between the Reference Cells and the structure, a measuring circuit coupled to the Reference Cells for measuring the potential between the Reference Cells and the structure, and a control circuit for controlling the level of the rectified alternating current voltage in accordance with the measured potential levels. Corrosion protection units are independent of one another, so that independently established rectified alternating current voltages are applied between different regions of the structure and e first and second corrosion protection units.

Additionally or alternatively, the systems and methods can include capturing an image of a document, identifying a designated portion of the captured image of the document that fails to satisfy a predetermined image quality criteria, recapturing an image of only the designated portion of the document, generating a composite image from the captured image of the document and the recaptured image of only a portion of the document, and transmitting the composite image of the document to a depository via a communication pathway.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a user interface and methods for quickly and easily modifying graphical content. Specifically, content having a hierarchical format may be received in a content pane. The hierarchical format may include one or more hierarchical levels and a plurality of content portions occupying one or more hierarchical positions within each of the one or more hierarchical levels. Further, a graphical definition may be applied to the content creating graphical content. As will be appreciated, the graphical content may comprise a hierarchical structure corresponding to the hierarchical format of the content. The hierarchical structure may include a plurality of nodes occupying one or more node positions within each of one or more node levels. A content portion occupying a hierarchical position may be reordered within a hierarchical level and may automatically cause a corresponding node in a corresponding node position to be reordered within a corresponding node level.

Abstract: A layout definition file is created that stores data defining image layouts. An application program provides a user interface for laying out images and associated text using the contents of a layout definition file. The user interface includes a canvas onto which a user may place one or more images and a layout gallery through which a user may select a pre-defined layout. The layout gallery includes selectable visual representations corresponding to the pre-defined layouts. When one of the visual representations is selected, the corresponding pre-defined layout is applied to images on the canvas. Alternatively, one of the visual representations may be selected to cause placeholders for images and text in the corresponding pre-defined layout to be placed on the canvas. Images and text can be added to the layout by using the placeholders. Mechanisms are also provided for cropping images for use in a pre-defined layout.

Abstract: An instruction is received to convert a first diagram in the advanced diagram format to a second diagram in a basic diagram format. The advanced diagram format may be configured to restrict user customization. The basic diagram format may be configured to permit the user customization. When the instruction is received to convert the first diagram to the second diagram, the first diagram is converted to the second diagram by transforming shapes, text, and formatting in the first diagram into shapes, text, and formatting in the second diagram.

Abstract: A tri platform control device on which a rider stands on to either ski or skate. The device includes a front vertical platform, two lateral platforms with footpads attached. Attached to the footpads are either wheels or skis. The vertical platform has a steering shaft fitting allowing the front ski to turn and collapse in case of a sudden impact, giving a safer ride. A spring loaded hub device attaches the lateral platforms to the vertical platform. This device adjusts the vertical platform. It is also used to fold the platforms up. The spring and hub assemblies on the vertical platform allow the parallel skis to lean from side to side. This device also allows the rider to lift the front ski off the ground to avoid obstacles. The footpad enables riders to push either the toe or heal down for better performance. An additional version has adjustable lateral platforms.

Abstract: A method of amplification of one or more DNA sequences in a DNA containing sample, and methods of investigating such samples are provided in which an improved amplification cycling regime is used. The regime features a first phase and a second phase, the first phase including a denaturation temperature step, followed by an annealing temperature step, followed by a corrected annealed primer extension temperature step, these steps being followed by an annealing temperature step, corrected annealed primer extension temperature step prior to any further denaturation temperature steps being applied. Increased amplification from a given number of amplification cycles and maximised sensitivity for the DNA amplification process is achieved as a result.
