Abstract: A bio-reactive container and filter assembly to improve flow rates and mass transfer without increased pressure. An inlet filter membrane secured to the container defines a container chamber in combination with the container. An inlet filter membrane element may also be secured to the container to provide structural support to the membrane. An outlet membrane secured to the container defines a container chamber in combination with the container. An outlet filter membrane element may also be secured to the container to provide structural support to the outlet membrane. Inlet and/or outlet filters and/or filter elements are constructed to significantly increase surface area available for fluid and/or gas ingress and/or egress. Single and double layer membranes with mixtures of hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics are used to maximize perfusion and gasification/degasification of bio-reactive containers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for non-intrusive hardware profiling are provided. In some cases integrated circuit devices can be manufactured without native support for performance measurement and/or debugging capabilities, thereby limiting visibility into the integrated circuit device. Understanding the timing of operations can help to determine whether the hardware of the device is operating correctly and, when the device is not operating correctly, provide information that can be used to debug the device. In order to measure execution time of various tasks performed by the integrated circuit device, program instructions may be inserted to generate notifications that provide tracing information, including timestamps, for operations executed by the integrated circuit device.

Converting or scaling the auxiliary resources across the platform occurs for similar value presentation. Thus allowing for transmission of auxiliary resources in real time to satisfy at least a portion of a standard resource transaction. Furthermore, the platform allows for the exchange of auxiliary resources across users based on user set term adjustment.

Abstract: A spin-stabilizing assembly is usable with a cylindrical barrel having a longitudinal center axis, a vertical center axis, and a distal end. The assembly includes a gimbal piece, a spinner cage, and a spinner body. A first end of the gimbal piece engages an outer diameter surface of the barrel proximate the distal end. The spinner cage is configured to engage a second end of the gimbal piece, and to pivot with respect thereto about the vertical center axis. The spinner body is disposed radially within the spinner cage and defines multiple axial vanes. The vanes, in response to impingement on the axial vanes of exhaust gases discharged from the distal end of the barrel, rotate the spinner body about the longitudinal center axis. Rotation results in impedance along the vertical center axis which minimizes vertical displacement or motion of the distal end.

Abstract: An axially offset foregrip assembly for a long gun has a grip portion having a first grip axis, with a middle portion of the grip portion configured to be grasped by a hand of a user about the first grip axis. The foregrip assembly also has a coupling portion for coupling between the middle portion of the grip portion and a fore-end of a long gun. The long gun has a barrel having a longitudinal axis and a rear grip having a second grip axis, which together define a vertical barrel plane. The coupling portion is configured to couple the grip portion to the fore-end of the long gun such that the first grip axis is in a vertical grip plane horizontally offset from the vertical barrel plane, with the vertical grip plane and the first grip axis substantially parallel to the vertical barrel plane.

Classification data is received from a database, based on the image data of on the target object within the view of the optical sensor. An origin point of the placement array of calibration locations based on the image data is determined. A plurality of calibration positions for the workspace in relation to the origin point is retrieved from the database, where the calibration locations are based on the classification data from the image data. The placement array of calibration locations is displayed on a display communicatively coupled to the processor in an augmented reality depiction of the workspace, where the placement array of calibration locations is oriented in the workspace based on the origin point.

Abstract: A system for wrapping a material in a baler includes a feed element for feeding the material through a feed path. A drive element intermittently drives the feed element. A linking element couples the drive element with the feed element. A tensioning lever operates to vary tension on the linking element to intermittently drive or not drive the feed element. A knife mechanism operates to intersect the feed path to cut the material. An actuator moves the tensioning lever and the knife mechanism. A spring limits motion of the actuator based on a threshold magnitude of the tensioning lever so that the linking element is not over tensioned.

Abstract: A system includes a set of adapter interfaces, a router module, and a processor. Each adapter interface is assigned to a different level of security. The router module sends requests to the adapter interfaces, based on the security levels associated with the devices that submitted the requests. A first adapter interface establishes a first connection to the servers, providing access to a first zone. A second adapter interface establishes a second connection to the servers, providing access to a second zone. The first zone includes a set of resources assigned to the first level of security that is not included in the second zone. A third adapter interface establishes a third connection to the servers, providing access to a quarantine. Each adapter interface further receives data and applies different levels of security to the data, based on the security levels associated with the devices that submitted the data.

A method for laser welding abutting sections of a workpiece or stackup of workpieces includes receiving, via a workpiece support frame, one or more metallic workpieces each with a surface having applied thereto a treatment layer.

The knurl pattern includes a network of channels, such as one or more series of mutually parallel, rectilinear vent channels, designed to exhaust therethrough the gas released from a welded section of the treatment layer. A laser welding device thereafter welds a joint region of the surface(s) of the one or more metallic workpiece with the knurl pattern.
