Abstract: A valve comprising a slidable internal shuttle that is shiftable between a valve closed and a valve open configuration is provided. The valve can be configured so that minimal force is required to effect shifting of the shuttle, even though the valve can be of a large diameter. In the valve closed configuration, the shuttle blocks communication between the valve inlet and outlet. Sliding of the shuttle to the valve open configuration permits fluid to flow through the valve. The shuttle can be configured with internal surfaces that provide some or no biasing forces acting upon the shuttle in the valve closed direction.

Abstract: A method assigns token requirements to service subscriptions in a service platform, such as a service platform containing entities or a database containing a plurality of said entities. The operator of the service platform establishes customization factors and maintains records reserving data services associated with token requirements for delivery to entities. In addition, customization factors are determined from values representing information associated with objects in a database. Token requirements associated with data services are calculated from one or more formulas utilizing customization factors. Sponsorships associated with the entities can be accepted by the service platform. The service platform can apply credit toward the fulfillment of token requirements.

Abstract: A mobile radio station includes a frame, a tower with an antenna, a scissor lift to dispose the tower in a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration; and a tower deployment mechanism. Scissor lift stages are connected with interstage joints, each having a first joint member with a first contact portion, a second joint member with a second contact portion, and a joint pivot connection for relative angular movement therebetween. The first joint member rotates relative to the second joint member about the joint pivot connection until the first contact portion contacts the second contact portion during movement of the tower. Further relative rotational of the joint members causes pivotal movement of the first joint member relative to the second joint member and movement of the interstage joint to a rigid configuration wherein rigidity of the interstage joint is increased.

Abstract: Application developers can request to have their applications registered for use with a content delivery platform. The operator of the content delivery platform establishes perimeters defining geographic areas, and maintains records reserving particular areas for delivery of content associated with particular sponsors. Registered applications running on mobile devices can request content from the content delivery platform. Based at least in part on the request, the content delivery platform can identify a target location, which may be the location of the mobile device, or some other location indicated in the request. A mobile device can be provided content based on the relationship of the target location to the geographic areas, so that a registered application running on a mobile device with a target location contained within a geographic area assigned to a particular sponsor will receive content related to that sponsor.

Abstract: Irrigation needs assessment systems and methods may determine irrigation needs of one or more participants. The irrigation needs assessment system may determine irrigation needs based on weather conditions, forecast weather conditions, plant water uptake, and ground moisture content information. Evaporation rate information may be provided from one or more other participants of the irrigation needs assessment service.

Abstract: An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is a non-transitory computer readable medium. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions for providing a mobile user monitoring solution that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to capture a first message transmitted over a packet forwarding control protocol (PFCP) interface, extract a permanent ID and a first user plane tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID) from the first message, store the permanent ID and the first user plane TEID in a PFCP protocol data unit (PDU) session record, store the permanent ID in a session details record, capture a second message transmitted over a user plane interface after the first message is transmitted, extract a second user plane TEID from the second message, wherein the second user plane TEID matches the first user plane TEID, and retrieve the session details record using the second user plane TEID.

Abstract: A system includes a plurality of fuel cell stacks, a balance of plant (BOP), and a first endplate and a second endplate. Each of the plurality of fuel cell stacks includes at least one fuel cell. The BOP is configured to monitor and control operation of the plurality of the fuel cell stacks. The BOP is operatively coupled to at least one of the first endplate and the second endplate to deliver, transfer, and vent fuel and oxidant to and from the plurality of fuel cell stacks.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory computer readable medium is disclosed. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions for providing a mobile user monitoring solution that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to capture a first message transmitted over an N11 interface, extract at least one type of session ID and a first Next Generation Application Protocol (NGAP) tunnel endpoint identifier (TEID) from the first message, store the at least one type of session ID and the first NGAP TEID in a first N11 protocol data unit (PDU) session record, capture a second message transmitted over an N3 interface, extract a general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP)-user plane (U) TEID from the second message, wherein the GTP-U TEID matches the first NGAP TIED, and retrieve information associated with session details record using the GTP-U TEID.

Abstract: A method for metrology includes directing at least one illumination beam to illuminate a semiconductor wafer on which at least first and second patterned layers have been deposited in succession, including a first target feature in the first patterned layer and a second target feature in the second patterned layer, overlaid on the first target feature. A sequence of images of the first and second target features is captured while varying one or more imaging parameters over the sequence. The images in the sequence are processed in order to identify respective centers of symmetry of the first and second target features in the images and measure variations in the centers of symmetry as a function of the varying image parameters. The measured variations are applied in measuring an overlay error between the first and second patterned layers.
