Abstract: According to at least one embodiment, a method for providing secondary content, related to primary content, for targeted transmission, includes: receiving a set of user metadata for a plurality of users, the user metadata comprising one or more of user browsing history, purchase history, term usage history, social media posts and actions, or location information; based on the set of user metadata, identifying, via a machine learning model, a subset of the users having an affinity for purchasing digital home-entertainment content, wherein the affinity is above a threshold level; and providing an indication of the subset of users having the affinity above the threshold level.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to electronic locking devices. The locking device may include a housing and an escutcheon attached to the housing. The escutcheon has a body defining an outer perimeter and a light ring disposed around the outer perimeter of the body. The light ring is configured to emit a changeable pattern of light in response to a status event to indicate the status of the electronic locking device. The light ring may be viewable from a front view and a side view. The locking device may be part of a lock set that includes a second locking device. The second locking device has a light pad that may be configured to emit complementary light patterns in response to the status event. The second or interior locking device may have a mode setting button. A controller is configured to receive a mode change from the mode setting button and configured to cause the light ring to illuminate a corresponding mode indication based on the mode change.

Abstract: An electronic entry device such as a door lock includes a display that uses substantially no power when a static image is presented. Such a display can be “always on” and be used to display information to users of the entry device on a continuous basis. In some embodiments, the persistent display is an e-ink display. In some embodiments, the persistent display may present a scannable code, such as a QR code, that is statically displayed on the persistent display when a new product is unboxed. The persistent display can also present weather, news, scheduling, or other information.

Abstract: A power generation system has a housing with a first housing section (I) and a second housing section (II), an alternator arranged within the first housing section (I) and a gas turbine arranged within the second housing section (II). The alternator is drivable by the gas turbine, wherein the first housing section (I) includes an air inlet through which an airstream is injectable into the first housing section (I) such that the airstream passes the alternator and cools the alternator. The first housing section (I) is coupled to the second housing section (II) such that the airstream is feedable into the second housing section (II) after the airstream has passed the alternator. The second housing section (II) includes an air outlet through which the airstream is exhaustable after passing the gas turbine.

Abstract: Fuel in an aircraft fuselage fuel tank is cooled by means of cold air flowing from the exterior of the aircraft to a cooling region inside the aircraft. The cooling region may be (a) located to the exterior of the fuel tank, (b) in thermal communication with the fuel tank and (c) in fluid communication with a region downstream of, and remote from, said cooling region, for example, an exhaust port on the outside of the aircraft. The flow of air may be caused by air entering a ram air intake, into which air passes as a result of the motion of the airborne aircraft relative to the surrounding air.

Abstract: An apparatus is described for dispensing a surgical clip 1 of memory metal, the clip being of the kind having a central portion 2 defining a plane and a pair of limbs 3, 4 extending from opposite sides of the central portion, one 3 of the pair of limbs having a free end disposed forward, and above the plane, of the central portion 2 and the other 4 of the pair of limbs having a free end disposed forward, and below the plane, of the central portion 2. The apparatus comprises an inner shaft 27 in which the clip 1 can be mounted and an outer movable member 25 for displacing the clip along the longitudinal axis of the inner shaft 27.

Abstract: A surgical clip for occluding a vein, artery or other body passageway (2) comprises a base portion (3), a pair of resilient limbs (4a, 4b) configured to extend generally laterally outwardly from the base portion and each having a free end disposed forward of the base portion, and a reaction portion (9a/b) mounted to the base portion (3), the reaction portion defining a generally forwardly directed reaction surface (10) disposed between the base portion (3) and the free ends of the limbs (4a, 4b), the being movable under a resilient restoring force from a first, open, condition, in which a gap is provided between the limbs and the reaction portion for receiving the body passageway into the clip, to a second, closed, condition, in which the limbs cooperate with the reaction portion to grip the body passageway to occlude the same.
