Abstract: According to some aspect, a method includes receiving tuner channel data identifying a tuner-based television channel scanned by a television tuner of a display device, retrieving, from a media provider database, a list of tuner-based television channels associated with a location of the display device, identifying the tuner-based television channel from the list using the tuner channel data, retrieving, from the media provider database, program data that identifies a program broadcasted by the tuner-based television channel, generating channel and program data for the tuner-based television channel based on the tuner channel data and the program data, and transmitting the channel and program data to the display device, where the channel and program data is configured to cause the display device to display at least a portion of the program data in a user interface of a media application executable by the display device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums for performing sensor health monitoring are described. The method includes receiving data characterizing measurement data values acquired by a sensor coupled to an industrial asset, identifying an anomalous data sample within the received data, removing the anomalous data sample to generate cleaned training data, training a model using the cleaned training data, generate a predicted asset data using the model, and determining an anomalous data in a new sample of asset data based on a difference between the new sample of the asset data to the predicted asset data.

Abstract: A method and system of predicting behavior of a drill bit is disclosed, including generating a mathematical representation of a characteristic of at least one of a plurality of components of a drill bit, the plurality of components including at least one moveable cutter; at least one moveable rubbing element; and at least one moveable gage pad; simulating one or more operating conditions incident on the mathematical representation, and simulating an interaction between the plurality of components and an earth formation; and predicting physical responses of the mathematical representation to the one or more operating conditions.

Abstract: A drill bit includes a bit body; a pad associated with the bit body; and a rate control device coupled to the pad that extends from a bit surface at a first rate and retracts from an extended position to a retracted position at a second rate in response to external force applied onto the pad. The rate control device includes a piston for applying a force on the pad; a biasing member that applies a force on the piston to extend the pad at the first rate; a fluid chamber associated with the piston; and a pressure management device for controlling a fluid pressure within the fluid chamber.

Abstract: A semiautomated machine (10) cuts a disk (60a) from the mouth side of sea urchin shells (60) for efficient extraction of gonads, the sea urchin reproductive organs, with minimal damage. The machine is capable of preserving intact the original five segmented star configuration. A conveyor (12) receives and retains sea urchins (60) with the mouth side of the sea urchin shells facing away from the conveyor. A cutter (15) is mounted over the conveyor at a cutting location (16). A relatively thin elongate cutting element (38) is spaced from the conveyor (12) and oriented generally transversely across the conveyor. An extended aligning plane (65,66) parallel to the conveyor is mounted on the opposite side of the elongate cutting element (38) from the conveyor (12) at the cutting location (16). The aligning plane (66) contacts the mouth side of the sea urchin shells and aligns and maintains orientation of the sea urchins with the mouth side of the sea urchin shells facing the aligning plane.

Abstract: An alarm and antitheft system for an automotive vehicle having a master relay, which defines a running condition and an alarm condition which is assumed when the ignition switch of the vehicle is in the off position, and a cut-out relay, the master relay including an element selectively lockable to maintain the relay in one or the other of these conditions or unlockable for manual actuation of the master relay into the running condition and including contacts which, in the alarm condition, electrically bypass the horn switch of the vehicle to warn of attempted unauthorized operation, open the ignition circuit of the vehicle, and connect the lighting circuit of the vehicle to a device to signal that the lights are on, and the cut-out relay being energized from the horn in the alarm condition to open the starting circuit of the vehicle.
