Abstract: A mobility device configurable in a first walk configuration and a second stair-climb configuration, including a frame with movable front leg portions, a leg-actuation system connected to the front leg portions and a safety-control device mounted to the frame. The safety-control device includes a configuration selector, and a lever connected to the leg-actuation system and configured to actuate the cable actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from a first position to a second position. The lever remains locked in a first lever position such that the lever cannot be moved unless the configuration selector is in a depressed position, thereby preventing inadvertent movement of the leg portion.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for presenting user comments containing timed references in synchronization with a media content item are provided.

Abstract: A system performs a first query to retrieve a commit lag timestamp, where the commit lag timestamp specifies an earliest time instance when a record of an entity is inserted or updated, but is yet to be committed, to a data source. The system determines an inline crawl interval based on the commit lag timestamp. The system performs a second query based on the inline crawl interval to retrieve a number of record identifiers and/or modification dates. The system performs a third query based on the inline crawl interval, where the third query corresponds to records that exist in a data store. The system determines at least one identifier that is missing from the third query due to commit lag based on a difference between data corresponding to the second and third queries. The system persists data corresponding to the second query and the at least one missing identifier.

Abstract: The long-lived and recently modified (LLRM) partitioning is a system and method for partitioning slowly changing aged data for a given year into one long-lived partition (LLP) and multiple recently modified partitions (RMP) where the RMP corresponds to a time period of a first time granularity. Each record has a start and end time to indicate its lifetime. A record in a RMP is modified at a timepoint corresponding to the time period of a RMP. RMP records can be sampled every second, minute, hour or day. The LLP holds records whose lifetime is greater than the time period of a first time granularity. Queries pertaining to a given timepoint is performed on data that is a union of the LLP and the RMP pertaining to that timepoint instead of the unpartitioned table thus leading to shorter query processing time and better utilization of memory storage.

Abstract: A sports agility game for training hand eye coordination includes a base that may be positioned on a support surface. A box is pivotally coupled to the base such that the box is selectively positioned at a selected angle. A plurality of pegs is provided and each of the pegs is selectively inserted into a selected one of the apertures in the box. A ball is provided and the ball is selectively thrown against the box. The ball is comprised of a resiliently compressible material such that the ball bounces from the box. The ball randomly strikes the pegs that are positioned on the box thereby altering an angle of deflection of the ball with respect to the box. In this way the pegs inhibit the user from guessing the angle of deflection of the ball thereby enhancing hand eye coordination.

Abstract: The invention relates to fancy goods for hooded wearing apparel and, more particularly, to a spring or expanding band for alternatively holding or clenching the opening of a hood of hooded wearing apparel to a set shape.

Abstract: A wall fastener that attaches a wallboard member to a mounting track in a manner that allows for relative movement between an overhead roof structure to which the mounting track is secured and a non-load bearing wall. The wall fastener holds the wallboard in a fixed position relative to the wall and the overhead structure to maintain a fire barrier.
