Abstract: The system can include a set of joints, a controller, and a model engine; and can optionally include a support structure and an end effector. Joints can include: a motor, a transmission mechanism, an input sensor, and an output sensor. The system can enable articulation of the plurality of joints.

Abstract: Route information identifying servers that an e-mail message travels through, along with per-hop latency information, is aggregated. A choke point or other latency-related issue is identified and a control signal is generated to control the e-mail system based upon the identified choke point or other latency-related issue.

Abstract: A refrigerant system uses a cofluid of ionic liquid and CO2 as a working fluid, and is adapted to selectively bind and release CO2 molecules from the ionic fluid in exothermic and endothermic processes, respectively. The refrigerant system includes a hermetic compressor which acts as a pump for the substantially uncompressible liquid working fluid. The compressor includes electrical components (such as the electric motor and various wires and connectors) which are electrically isolated from the working fluid in order to prevent electrical shorts caused by the conductive ionic fluid. At the same time, the ionic liquid may act as a lubricating fluid for the compressor components, eliminating any need for separate working and lubricating fluids.

Abstract: Tools for configuring an enterprise applications. In one aspect, the tools provide a user interface to allow an implementer describe, based on an interview with executives of the organization, an enterprise structure of an organization, and a data structure generator to configure the enterprise application to reflect this enterprise structure. In one aspect, these tools can allow a general case to guide the default assignment of intersections of legal and managerial reporting structures to a business unit, allowing the minimum number of business units to fulfill both the external and managerial responsibilities. The tools may implement a pivot table approach to provide an interface for the user to provide such input.

Abstract: A cooling cassette for a refrigerated merchandiser and a refrigerated merchandiser is provided. The cassette contains a housing and a cooling section and heating section disposed within the housing. The cooling section contains a receptacle that houses an evaporator and an evaporator fan. The heating section contains a compressor, a condenser, and a condenser fan. The receptacle forms a partition within the housing and thermally insulates the cooling section from the heating section. The cooling cassette provides a more compact design with a reduced height and volume while meeting the performance and cooling requirements for a refrigerated cabinet operatively associated with the cooling cassette. As such, the cooling cassette also provides a more efficient cooling operation and a refrigerated cabinet with more usable storage and cooling space.

Abstract: A ring segment is provided for a gas turbine engine includes a panel and a cooling system. Cooling fluid is provided to an outer side of the panel and an inner side of the panel defines at least a portion of a hot gas flow path through the engine. The cooling system is located within that panel and receives cooling fluid from the outer side of the panel for cooling the panel. The cooling system includes a plurality of cooling fluid passages that receive cooling fluid from the outer side of the panel. The cooling fluid passages each have a generally axially extending portion that includes at least one fork. The fork(s) divide each cooling fluid passage into at least two downstream portions that each receives cooling fluid from the respective axially extending portion.
