  • Publication number: 20190361841
    Abstract: Computing systems, apparatuses, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products are disclosed for creating a shared communication channel in a group-based communication platform having a plurality of database shards. An example computer-implemented method includes generating a shared communication channel shard that is assigned a shared communication channel identification, a first set of shared communication channel attributes associated with a first group identification, and a second set of shared communication channel attributes associated with a second group identification. The method further includes generating first and second externally shared group-based shared communication channel interfaces based on the first and second sets of shared communication channel attributes, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20180372141
    Abstract: Current stripped hole repair devices operate by expanding to exert pressure against the inside of a hole into which the device is placed, and are by design suitable only for repairing a stripped or damaged hole in alignment with the original hole. Likewise, various methods exist that do not result in a smooth surface into which a new hole can be drilled. In most cases, these methods are non-permanent, temporary, non-weight-bearing devices that inadequately address the problem. The solution provided comprises a solid plastic insert with segments that break off at a desired length, into which a new hole may be drilled and a screw inserted. The method for installing the apparatus utilizes an adhesive that bonds to the medium into which it is installed. The disclosure describes a simplified and practical method to repair a stripped screw hole, and an apparatus that can be manufactured and made commercially available.

  • Patent number: 10140419
    Abstract: A graphical user interface on a computer provides for the analysis of location specific data and the presentation of analysis results for visual comparison by a user. Results of the analysis are visually presented as icons subdivided into regions and arranged in such a way that the user is able to associate each icon with a data location. A visual presentation of results in the icons and regions allows a user to visually compare the analysis results in two or more data sets according to location. The graphical user interface further provides for the definition and adjustment of an analysis through the interaction of a user with a graphical representation of the analysis. In some cases, the visual presentation of results tracks the analysis adjustments so the user can visually observe the effects that the adjustments have on the results. A method of interacting with the interface to define an analysis and represent results and a method of presenting two or more data sets using the interface are described.

  • Publication number: 20180236181
    Abstract: Systems for drug delivery devices include a temperature control system and an identification system. A temperature control system configured to sense and control temperature of a cartridge containing a drug includes a heater, one or more temperature sensors, and a control unit. An identification system configured to identify a cartridge containing a drug includes a control unit and a tag sensor that is electrically coupled to the control unit, wherein the tag sensor is activated upon detecting a presence of the cartridge. A drug delivery device includes both the temperature control system and the identification system such that the control unit of the device may process the information of the drug that is received from the tag sensor of the identification system, and based on at least a portion of the processed information, determine and control the temperature of the drug within a cartridge.

  • Publication number: 20180230836
    Abstract: There is disclosed a stator vane section for a gas turbine engine. The stator vane comprises an aerofoil, a first platform at a radial end of the aerofoil, a cooling chamber within the aerofoil and a guide duct within the cooling chamber. An impingement chamber is defined between the first platform and a perforated impingement plate provided on the first platform to receive cooling air through the impingement plate. The guide duct is coupled to the first platform so that a collecting chamber extending around the guide duct is defined between the guide duct and the first platform and the collecting chamber is configured to receive cooling air from the impingement chamber via a plurality of collecting channels, and is configured to direct cooling air to the cooling chamber.
