Abstract: A method of implementing administrative services for a compensation platform is disclosed. One or more interactive compensation representation views are generated based on an evaluation of mapping rules against a flexible ontology and current data state, the flexible ontology comprising customizable compensation components, relationships, and properties. One or more compensation representation views are dynamically updated in real-time in response to changes in compensation data, user context, or access permissions without requiring manual regeneration of the one or more compensation representations. The one or more interactive compensation representation views include a user interface element displayed in response to a user selection of compensation data, wherein the user interface element provides direct access to compensation information relevant to the selected compensation data without requiring a change to another screen or another user context.

Abstract: A process for making a dry food is described herein. The process includes providing raw materials for a dry food to a preconditioning vessel at a first flowrate, preconditioning the raw materials in the preconditioning vessel and forming a dough, and moving the dough having a moisture content of from about 4% to about 10% through an inlet of an extruder. The process further includes extruding the dough through a die plate of the extruder and forming kibbles by: applying thermal energy to the dough; and applying mechanical energy to the dough, wherein the ratio of the thermal energy to the mechanical energy can range from at least about 2.0 to about 4.0.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a robust double node upset tolerant latch in which all internal and external nodes are capable of recovering the previous value after a single event upset are disclosed.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a robust double node upset tolerant latch in which all internal and external nodes are capable of recovering the previous value after a single event upset are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are a latch circuit and method for preventing double node upsets (DNUs). A first, second, and third storage circuit, each comprising four inputs and an output, are electrically interconnected with a first and second three-input c-element circuit, each comprising three inputs and an output, and a two-input c-element circuit comprising two inputs and an output. The output of the first storage circuit is connected to a first input of the first three-input c-element circuit, a first input of the third storage circuit and a third input of the second storage circuit. The output of the second storage circuit is connected to a second input of the first three-input c-element circuit, a first input of the two-input c-element circuit, and a second input of the second three-input c-element circuit.

Abstract: A wheel balance clip (1) arranged to attach a balance weight to a wheel, the wheel balance clip (1) comprising a spring portion (2) arranged to accommodate and attach to a rim of a wheel, a balance weight mounting portion (4) depending from the spring portion (2), the mounting portion (4) having a first side (10) arranged, in use, to be adjacent to a wheel on which the clip (1) is mounted and a second side (12) arranged to receive a weight, and opposing jaws (14), comprising a clasp and a retaining means, the clasp and retaining means being directed toward one another and being arranged, in use, to positively engage into a groove in a balance weight and retain therebetween a balance weight on the second side (12) of the mounting portion (4).

Abstract: A wheel balance clip (200) comprising: a spring portion (210) arranged to accommodate and attach to a rim (400) of a wheel having an edge region divergent from a parallel to an axis of that wheel in a direction towards the axis; and an attachment portion (220) depending from the spring portion (210), wherein the spring portion (210) comprises at least one rim-edge-region-engaging protrusion (215), arranged such that, when in use, the at least one rim-edge-region-engaging protrusion (215) engages an underside edge region of a rim (400) such that removal of the clip (200) from that rim causes the spring portion (210) to open.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a wheel balance assembly (500) from a clip and weight, the method comprising the following steps: 1. annealing at least a portion of the clip; 2. positioning the clip and weight adjacent one another; and 3. welding the clip and weight to one another.
