Abstract: The present invention concerns a charging cable management system, which is motorized and is applied in electric vehicle charging equipment, or other applications that require this type of solution. The developed charging cable management system allows extending or retracting a suspension cable that assists the user in the task of mobilizing and moving an electric charging cable for charging electric vehicles, preventing it from touching the ground when not in use. In addition, the charging cable management system allows the use and mobilization of charging cables with greater longitudinal amplitude, minimizing the efforts associated with carrying out these tasks by the user.

Abstract: A product quality analysis and control system is provided. The product quality analysis and control system includes a processing system that is configured to receive data of objective qualities of a product from multiple data gathering modules. Each of the multiple data gathering modules is respectively positioned at corresponding nodes of a supply chain and is configured to receive from sensors data of objective qualities of a product when the product is at each of the corresponding nodes. The processing system includes a model repository and a data evaluation module. The data evaluation module is configured to select, from the model repository, a model associated with a type of the product and to use the model to analyze the data to identify changes in the objective qualities along the supply chain.

Abstract: Testing apparatus, systems and methods are provided to obtain measurements pertaining to aircraft control surfaces mounted to stationary aircraft structures for displacements about a hinge axis. A support structure and an actuator carried by the support structure may be provided, the support structure including attachment assemblies for positionally fixing the testing apparatus to the stationary aircraft structure. The actuator carried by the support structure includes a rectilinearly movable actuator shaft which contacts the aircraft control surface when the support structure is positionally mounted to the stationary aircraft structure. Actuation of the actuator will thereby cause the actuator shaft to apply a load to the movable aircraft control surface to cause deflection thereof about the hinge axis.

Abstract: A system for managing a broadcasting platform includes a gateway device having a processor providing a broadcast media stream to a primary conference room of a telephony conference platform of a gateway device. The gateway device relays the broadcast media stream from the primary conference room to a secondary conference room of the telephony conference platform. The gateway device next broadcasts the broadcast media stream from the secondary conference room to a plurality of user devices. Each user device is connected to the telephony conference platform via a respective user telephony connection between the user device and the secondary conference room.

Abstract: A system for broadcasting via a telephony conference platform includes a gateway device having a processor and a telephony conference platform. The gateway device broadcasts a broadcast media stream to a plurality of user devices. A user signal is received from one of the user devices via a user telephony connection between the user device and the telephony conference platform. The gateway device next suspends the broadcast media stream for the user device associated with the user signal, and mixes the user signal into the broadcast media stream in real time using the telephony conference platform. The gateway device then broadcasts the broadcast media stream comprising the user signal to the plurality of user devices in real time, except for the user device associated with the user signal.

Abstract: A system for managing a broadcasting platform includes a gateway device that broadcasts a broadcast media stream to a plurality of user devices. Each user device is connected to a primary conference room of a telephony conference platform of the gateway device via a first user telephony connection. The gateway device receives a user signal from a first user device through the telephony conference platform via a second user telephony connection associated with the first user device, between the first user device and a secondary conference room of the telephony conference platform. The gateway device mixes the user signal into the broadcast media stream in real time using the telephony conference platform and broadcasts the broadcast media stream comprising the user signal to the plurality of user devices connected to the primary conference room in real time, excluding the first user device.

Abstract: Techniques for partitioning data streams are provided. In some examples, a query for processing at least a portion of a data stream may be identified. The data stream may be associated with a user. Additionally, in some examples, code identifying an attribute of the identified stream may be received. The code may be capable of configuring the query based at least in part on the attribute. Further, in some aspects, the code may be configured to partition the data stream into at least a sub-stream based at least in part on the attribute.

Abstract: In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for performing compensation work. These mechanisms and methods can enable embodiments to provide design patterns for implementing compensation work. The ability of embodiments to provide design patterns for implementing compensation work can provide consistency of long-running business processes defined using means of some programming language or modeling tool. Further, embodiments can enable compensation functions implementing compensation work to be efficiently persisted and to be passed as arguments to other program components.

Abstract: A seat cushion extends across left and right areas that are located beneath the locations of the left and right ischial tuberosities of a seated person. A support structure beneath the cushion transmits a weight load from the cushion to the seat frame. The support structure has portions that surround the left and right ischial areas to provide the cushion with underlying, load bearing support at the peripheral boundaries of the ischial areas, and is free of load bearing portions located within or beneath the ischial areas.

Abstract: A lumbar support apparatus includes a guide rail on a seat frame, and a bendable occupant support structure mounted for sliding movement on the guide rail. The bendable structure, which is preferably configured as a grid, includes a spring that imparts increasingly bowed contours to the grid upon increasingly arched deflection of the spring relative to the seat frame and the guide rail. The apparatus further includes an actuator, a cable, and a fastener. A first section of the cable extends from the actuator into engagement with the grid so as to apply a bending force to the grid under the influence of the actuator. A second section of the cable extends from the first section to an end portion of the cable that is anchored to the seat frame.
