Abstract: A tiled display having pixels arranged in rows and columns, and including first and second tiles. The tiles comprise a substrate carrying a matrix of pixels arranged at a pixel pitch. The substrates comprise an edge extending between opposing faces in a depth direction. The substrate edges have a complementary shape, and face one another to establish a seam. The pixel pitch is maintained across the seam. Pixels of the second tile are not interposed between pixels of the first tile. The complementary shape includes a segment of the seam being oblique to the pixel rows, or the substrate edge of the first tile profiled in the depth direction whereby at least a section of the edge is non-perpendicular to the faces. The tiled display can maintain the pixel pitch at the seams at high resolutions (e.g., pixel pitch less than 0.5 mm).

Abstract: An automated thermally responsive valve with an internal reset function is disclosed. The cartridge latching mechanism can be retracted at a target temperature and manually reset at the target temperature to engage an ejector cap. The reset mechanism of the cartridge automatically returns to a latching configuration upon warming. The cartridge thermal actuator can be configured to retract the latching mechanism at a target temperature near freezing to provide a freeze protection drain valve that is ejected from a sealing element in the ejector cap and allows a fluid system to drain.

Abstract: A system includes a trailer base, a trailer bed mounted to the trailer base, a turntable disposed on the trailer bed, and a lifting head protruding in an outwardly direction from the trailer bed and the trailer base when the lifting head is in a first orientation. A position of the lifting head is adjustable along a longitudinal axis of the trailer bed. The system also includes an actuator coupled to the trailer base. The lifting head is raised to a second orientation by the actuator when the actuator is in an actuated state, and the lifting head is in the first orientation when the actuator is in a non-actuated state.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing multiple messages. In one example, a method includes determining a message transmission frequency threshold for a member of an online social networking service using responses from the member; receiving a message that is to be transmitted to the member; storing the message, without transmitting the message to the member, in a digest of messages for the member; and transmitting the digest to the member in response to a send score for the digest exceeding a send score threshold, the send score calculated using the number of messages in the digest.

Abstract: A web template author can author interactive web templates via a static markup language-based authoring tool. The web template author can insert static markup language snippets representing one or more configurable controls of a web template into a static markup language-based authoring tool. Each snippet includes a definition of a preview of a configurable control in a static markup language as well as one or more disabled CMS instructions for the configurable control. The web template author can configure and view previews of the inserted configurable controls as they are added to the web template being developed within the static markup language-based authoring tool. When the web template author is satisfied with a version of a web template, the web template author can upload the static markup language definition of the web template to the server, where the web template is converted into a CMS-compatible web template.

Abstract: Optical assemblies and lensed connector ferrule assemblies having one or more optical fibers aligned to one or more lenses of a lens substrate and methods of their manufacture are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical assembly includes a ferrule and a mirror surface The ferrule includes a lens holder having a lens substrate cavity and an engagement surface. The ferrule further includes a lens substrate disposed within the lens substrate cavity. The lens substrate has at least one lens. The mirror surface is coupled to the engagement surface such that the at least one lens is offset from the mirror surface by an offset distance.

Abstract: A system includes a coil contacting base. The coil contacting base includes a radially curved outer surface with a radius of curvature less than or equal to a coil radius of curvature of an interior channel of a coil of spoolable pipe, and the coil contacting base includes a length greater than or equal to an axial dimension of the coil. The system also includes a side wall coupled to an inner surface of the coil contacting base. The side wall is configured to block circumferential movement of a coil restraint. The system also includes a passage disposed between the coil contacting base and the side wall. The coil restraint is configured to be disposed in the passage.

Abstract: Described is a system and method for routing output information to one or more of a plurality of output devices. In one implementation, output information that includes information to be presented and a location information identifying where the output information is to be presented may be generated by an output host. The output information is received by an output router that determines, based on the location information, an output device and routes the output information to the output device for presentation.

Abstract: A clothes supporting apparatus is provided having a shaping member defining a flexible periphery for supporting an item of clothing. An adjustable mechanism is provided for selectively decreasing a transverse extent of the periphery, wherein the adjustable mechanism extends between joints on opposing portions of the periphery and causes the opposing portions of the periphery to flex towards each other when the adjustable mechanism is operated. The shaping member is elastically deformable causing the opposing portions of the periphery to return to an unflexed position when the adjustable mechanism is released.

Abstract: An online social networking system publishes a new notification type to a single entry point controller. Each new notification type uses the same generic schema. The system maps the same generic schema into the same generic input model, and stores the same generic input model into a database. The system reads the same generic input model from the database, converts the same generic input model into a same generic output model, and transmits the same generic output model to a formatter. The formatter receives a request for a notification event, and transmits the notification event to an application programming interface. The formatter is a sole location that is aware of the new notification type. The formatter decorates and formats the notification event based on the same generic output model. The formatter transmits the notification event to the application programming interface, which transmits the notification event to the client device.

Abstract: iFormative Feedback (iFF) is an electronic formative feedback acquisition and analytics system which leverages mobile technology, QR codes, and web-based dashboards to provide users with meaningful, real-time, 360-degree assessments of performance, iFF is designed to record the spirit of a user's observations without increasing the administrative burden of data entry, security, collation, interpretation, and dissemination. Through iFF, organizations can efficiently track individual performance through downstream (supervisor to supervisee) and upstream (supervisee to supervisor) analyses of standardized observations recorded in the system.

Abstract: A hub is configured to provide voice control without assistance from a remote system, which allows the hub to provide a user with the ability to control second devices in an environment by issuing voice commands, even when the hub is unable to communicate with the remote system over a wide area network (e.g., the Internet). The hub is also configured to execute rules without assistance from the remote system, which allows the hub to execute rules, even when the hub is unable to communicate with the remote system over a wide area network (e.g., the Internet).
