Abstract: An exemplary door closer has an adjustable size and includes a rotatable member operable to adjust the size and an indicator mechanism configured to indicate the current size. The indicator mechanism includes a cover mounted to a housing of the door closer and a dial rotatably mounted to the cover. The dial is engaged with the rotatable member such that the dial rotates in response to rotation of the rotatable member. The cover includes an indicating region, and the dial includes a display surface including indicia relating to the sizes of the door closer. The display surface is non-perpendicular to the rotational axis of the rotatable member. When the door closer has been adjusted to a particular size, indicia relating to the particular size are indicated by the indicating region.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for performing actions using augmented reality. In some examples, a user interface that includes a field of view is generated. The field of view is currently captured using a camera of a client device. Object data in the field of view is detected. Position data is determined. The position data includes a location of the client device and an orientation vector that indicates a direction the camera of the client device. A request for actions is transmitted to a management service. The request includes the object data and the position data. An action and an identity of a managed object are received from the management service. The user interface is updated to include an identity of a managed object, and a user interface element that when selected causes an action to be performed.

Abstract: An exemplary door closer includes a housing defining a hydraulic chamber having a hydraulic fluid disposed therein. A pinion is rotatably mounted to the housing and extends into the hydraulic chamber. A piston is mounted for reciprocal movement within the housing, and defines a rack engaged with the pinion. The housing further defines an aperture in fluid communication with the hydraulic chamber. A regulating screw is rotatably mounted within the aperture such that rotation of the regulating screw in a first direction advances the regulating screw into the hydraulic chamber and such that rotation of the regulating screw in an opposite second direction withdraws the regulating screw away from the hydraulic chamber. A stop member is mounted in the aperture such that the stop member limits withdrawing movement of the regulating screw to thereby prevent leaking of the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic chamber via the aperture.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that leverage multi-factor authentication features of a service provider and intelligent call routing to increase security and efficiency at a customer call center. Pre-authentication of customer support requests reduces the potential for misappropriation of sensitive customer data during call handling. A contactless card uniquely associated with a client may provide a second factor of authentication to reduce the potential for malicious third-party impersonation of the client. Pre-authorized customer support calls are intelligently and efficiently routed in a manner that reduces the opportunity for malicious call interference and information theft.

Abstract: A resource service provider implements pool-based computing resource management. Computing instances are held in “pools” based at least in part on the requested task, the identity of the requestor, and/or the external requirements of performing the requested tasks.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting a presence or absence of objects in a trailer are described. A 3D depth-camera is oriented to capture a 3D image. The 3D image includes a plurality of 3D point data defining a portion of a wall, floor, and top of a trailer. The plurality of 3D point data is then analyzed to determine a first, second, and third sub-plurality of points, associated with the portion of the wall, floor, and top, respectively. The first, second, and third sub-pluralities are then removed from the plurality of points to obtain a modified plurality of points, representing a modified 3D image. The modified 3D image is then segmented into a plurality of bins, and the plurality of bins are analyzed to determine one or more points-bin values. A communication is then provided based on whether any of the points-bin values exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A system and method for performing robust depth calculations with time of flight (ToF) sensors using multiple exposure times is disclosed. A three-dimensional (3D) depth sensor assembly captures a first array of n point values, where each point value of the first array has a respective first-array depth component and a respective first-array quality component. The 3D depth sensor assembly then captures a second array of n point values, where each point value of the second array has a respective second-array depth component and a respective second-array quality component. A processor then renders a 3D point cloud comprising a third array of n point values, where each point value of the third array has a respective third-array depth component. The respective third-array depth component for each point value of the third array is based on either the corresponding respective first-array depth component or the corresponding respective second-array depth component.

Abstract: A qualifying system receives a channel activity record from one of a plurality of different external systems, over one of a plurality of different communication channels. It accesses qualification rules to determine whether the channel activity record is to be transformed into one or more target entities in a computing system. If so, a conversion engine accesses user-configurable mappings and conversion rules to identify conversion actions that are to be taken in order to transform the channel activity record into one or more target entities. The conversion engine performs a data transformation on the channel activity record to transform it into the identified one or more target entities.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for transaction auditing. One example method includes receiving receipt data associated with an entity. Policy questions associated with the entity are associated with at least one policy question answer that corresponds to a conformance or a violation of a policy selected by the entity.

In response to determining that the selected policy question answer corresponds to a policy violation, an audit alert is generated.

Abstract: The Commissioning phase is usually the most Time/Labor intensive phase in the Fire Safety System life cycle as the process involves referring to the Building floor plan document (as provided by the Installer) and creation of Areas/Zones and carefully assigning each fire device (viz. Smoke/Heat detectors, MCP etc.) to the corresponding zones in the Panel configuration software to configure the Fire Panel. The overall process easily spans for multiple days based on the Building network complexity. The present invention provides a system, apparatus and method for rapid commissioning by providing a graphical interface in which device addresses can be uniquely allocated using an interactive screen. This avoids double address faults which can be time consuming to identify and rectify. Geographic information of the devices can also be identified and incorporated using the interactive screen.

Abstract: An electronic device handles accesses of a branch prediction functional block when executing instructions in program code. The electronic device includes a processor having the branch prediction functional block that provides branch prediction information for control transfer instructions (CTIs) in the program code and a minimum predictor use (MPU) functional block. The MPU functional block determines, based on a record associated with a given fetch group of instructions, that a specified number of subsequent fetch groups of instructions that were previously determined to include no CTIs or conditional CTIs that were not taken are to be fetched for execution in sequence following the given fetch group. The MPU functional block then, when each of the specified number of the subsequent fetch groups is fetched and prepared for execution, prevents corresponding accesses of the branch prediction functional block for acquiring branch prediction information for instructions in that subsequent fetch group.
