Abstract: A steering adjustment assembly for use with a floor treatment machine. The steering adjustment assembly includes first and second lock/release devices (e.g., variable gas springs) that selectively permit adjustment of a tilt angle and/or telescoped position of a steering component relative to a chassis of the machine. An actuator is operable by an operator to simultaneously transition the lock/release devices from a locked state to a released state when the operator desires to adjust the steering component's orientation and/or position.

Abstract: A duplicate record detector may retrieve and identify sets of corresponding records within a multi-cluster data storage system. The duplicate record detector initially may query each cluster to retrieve record sets including potentially duplicate records. The duplicate record detector then may use a multi-cluster index to reduce each of the initial record sets by determining which records have a corresponding potential duplicate record stored in another cluster. Matching logic may be used to compare and analyze the reduced record sets from each cluster, to determine duplicate records in other clusters using various matching criteria and including duplicate records having non-identical fields. The results of the duplicate record detector may be provided as output via a duplicate record report and/or to initiate automatic removal the duplicate records from one or more of the storage clusters.

Abstract: A system can comprise one or more processors; and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions configured to run on the one more processors and perform a method for dispatching a delivery driver and allowing the user to electronically tip the delivery driver. The method in this embodiment can comprise: receiving a delivery request from a user; and determining whether the order is eligible for delivery. When the order is eligible for delivery, the method in this embodiment can determine a delivery fee for the order; after the payment of the fees, dispatch the delivery driver; and upon a confirmation of the delivery, determine whether the completed delivery is eligible for tipping. When the delivery driver for the completed delivery is eligible for tipping, the method in this embodiment can further provide a tipping request to the user; and upon receipt of a confirmation of a tip, forward the tip to the delivery driver. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention provides nanostructure compositions and methods of producing nanostructure compositions. The nanostructure compositions comprise a population of nanostructures comprising polythiol ligands with pendant moieties. The polythiol ligand with pendant moieties increase the solubility of the nanostructures in solvents and resins.

Abstract: Photoactive compounds are disclosed. The disclosed compounds can exhibit molecular structural elements tending to increase the evaporability of the compounds, such as by including geometric core disruption by use of conformationally restricted side groups instead of freely rotatable side groups or use of indandione moieties instead of dicyanomethyleneindanone moieties. The disclosed photoactive compounds include those with an imine-bridging linking moiety, which can shift the optical properties to a more red-shifted absorbance as compared to compounds with an alkene-bridging linking moiety. The disclosed photoactive compounds can be used in organic photovoltaic devices, such as visibly transparent or opaque photovoltaic devices.
