Abstract: A system and method for simulating paper tickets, such as pull-tab games, in a digital environment are disclosed. The system includes a central server that stores game outcomes, manages digital ticket distribution, and tracks redemptions. A network of client devices, each with a display and input module, communicates with the server to present digital pull-tab tickets and receive user interactions. The game management module in the server stores a finite deal comprising preassigned ticket outcomes, assigns them to digital tickets, and monitors distribution. The system replicates the experience of physical pull-tab games by allowing users to reveal symbols and win awards. A security module authenticates client devices to ensure secure data transmission.

Abstract: Systems and methods for coupling subsea tubular members together are provided. An apparatus may be used to properly orient and/or provide communication between a first subsea tubular member that is being landed on a second subsea tubular member. An apparatus for coupling subsea tubular members may include an alignment sub and a corresponding alignment member. The alignment sub includes: a generally cylindrical body having one or more fluid, electric, or fiber optic lines extending therethrough, one or more couplings coupled to at least one end of the alignment sub, and an orientation profile disposed on a surface of the alignment sub. The alignment member has a profile designed to interface with the orientation profile of the alignment sub. One of the alignment sub and the alignment member remains stationary while the other rotates relative to the stationary structure.

Abstract: Techniques for capturing spoken user inputs while a device is prevented from capturing such spoken user inputs are described. When a first device becomes incapable of capturing spoken user inputs intended for a system, a second device, for capturing such spoken user inputs, may be identified. The second device may be identified based on the second device being connected to a same vehicle computing system as the first device. The second device may be enabled to capture spoken user inputs, intended for the system, until the first device is again able to capture such spoken user inputs.

Abstract: An intraluminal medical imaging interface device includes an arm assembly comprising one or more longitudinal members and one or more joints coupled to the one or more longitudinal members, and a head assembly coupled to a distal portion of the arm assembly and comprising a proximal portion coupled to the distal portion of the arm assembly and a distal portion. The distal portion of the head assembly includes a mechanical coupling and an electrical coupling configured to separably connect to an intraluminal imaging catheter and to transmit electrical signals between a console and the intraluminal imaging catheter. The arm assembly is configured to couple to a surface to maintain the head assembly at a first position and an orientation with respect to a patient without continued support by an operator. Associated devices, systems, and methods are also provided.

Abstract: Storage of chairs when not in use, for instance in halls used by various groups, is a common problem which has been addressed by providing chairs that are stackable upon one another. Usually, this requires the chair to be composed of sloping legs and a sloping backrest, such that the seat of a lower chair can fit between the legs of an upper chair, and the backrest of the upper chair can rest on the backrest of the lower chair. It is desirable to be able to stack chairs with as small a vertical displacement as possible, usually limited by the depth of the seat, which is typically substantially horizontal. For instance, the base of an upper seat may sit (when stacked) on the upper portion of a lower seat. However, these chairs are usually mass produced and so designed to fit the average shape, which is not accommodating for a lot of people. The present invention provides a chair where seat 13 height, back 3 angle, seat 13 tilt and seat 13 roll are adjustable.

Abstract: A space-out mechanism that may be used in a tubing hanger system to install a tubing hanger and rigidize the tubing hanger and a casing hanger within a wellhead housing in a single trip is provided. The space-out mechanism may include two pieces that are configured to rotate against each other such that the axial length of the space-out mechanism can be adjusted to remove any axial gaps created in the installation of the tubing hanger or rigidizing of the tubing hanger and casing hanger within the wellhead housing. The two pieces of the space-out mechanism may include a ramp ring and a piston. The ramp ring and piston may each have ramp surfaces that rotate and bear against each other until the system is rigidized.

Abstract: Various improvements are provided to breathing training, monitoring and/or assistance devices.
