Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure can facilitate generating a notification at a retail store. In some embodiments, the system includes a server. The server can be configured to access a data structure, storing product descriptions describing products in a retail store. The server can be configured to select a search result from the product descriptions based on input from a user and associate the selected search result with a user account associated with the user. The server can be configured to generate a notification based on the user account and the search result associated with the user account, and can be configured to display the notification at the retail store.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure can facilitate selecting a search result. In some embodiments, the system includes a server. The server can be configured to access a data structure, storing product descriptions describing products in a retail store. The server can be configured to store an image including visual representations of the products. The server can be configured to associate image segments with the product descriptions, the segments including the visual representations. The server can be configured to associate classifications with the product descriptions. The server can be configured to display, responsive to input from a user, the image. The server can be configured to select, responsive to input from the user, the search result from the product descriptions. The server can be configured to order the search result, based on the classifications and the image segments associated with the product descriptions selected by the search result.

Abstract: A cable stripper apparatus is disclosed for stripping insulation from an electric cable. The apparatus includes a framework and a driven wire feeder rotatably secured to the framework. A guide is provided for guiding the cable towards the wire feeder. The guide includes a movable spacer bar which extends towards the wire feeder. A cutter has a cutting edge which is disposed spaced and parallel to an axis of rotation of the wire feeder. The cutter is connected to the framework immediately adjacent to the wire feeder. The arrangement is such that when the cable is guided by the guide towards the wire feeder, the wire feeder, spacer bar and the cutter cooperate with each other for stripping the insulation from the cable. A cam is rotatably supported by the framework for moving the movable spacer bar relative to the framework to a required location of a plurality of locations of the movable spacer bar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to three-dimensional microstructures and methods for making these microstructures, particularly microstructures having integral features less than about 1 mm. Examples of these microstructures include trusses. The microstructures can be prepared from two-dimensional structures having a deformable portion. Thus, by applying a deformation along these deformable portions, e.g. bending, a third-dimension can be created. The deformable portions can comprise thinner dimensions than more rigid portions to allow facile deformation to a predetermined angle or orientation. Electroplating at least a portion of the three-dimensional microstructure with a metal coating allows the formation of integral features in addition to covering any defects formed by the deformation and/or strengthening any thin components. The initial two-dimensional microstructure can be prepared by various patterning methods such as soft lithographic methods.
