Abstract: A closure comprising a main portion and a flip-top portion are provided. The main portion comprises a tab and at least one rib. The flip-top portion is operatively connected to the main portion and is movable with respect to the main portion. The tab can be configured to break at least partially away from the at least one rib as a result of downward force applied to the tab. The at least one rib can be configured to spiral partially away from the tab and the main portion when the tab is pulled in an upward direction away from the main portion. The tab and the at least one rib comprise a tamper evident seal.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include systems, methods, and computer-program products for lifting metadata from financial documents to allow for automated exception processing. As such, allowing for automated decisions for exception processing to systematically be resolved base on matches between lifted metadata. The exceptions may include one or more irregularities such as bad micro line reads, outdated check stork, or misrepresentative checks that may result in a failure to match the check to an associated account for processing. As such, once an exception is identified during the processing the metadata lifted from the document with the exception may be utilized to search financial records at the financial institution to attempt to identify the correct version of the document. Subsequently, the system may correct the irregularity systematically and automatically.

Abstract: A multi-articulating enclosed lift assembly is described having an adjustable work platform, a guardrail system on the platform, and a flexible enclosure. The work platform generally includes a base, a lift, and an operator platform supporting the guardrail system. The flexible enclosure includes an extendible frame and a flexible containment material. The material may be disposed proximate to sides of the extendible frame and sealed to the base of the adjustable work platform and along a top of the extendible frame. The flexible enclosure and the base define a working space below a ceiling as the top of the extendible frame engages an opening in the ceiling. As such, the lift selectively moves the operator platform within the working space to place it in a desired vertical position within the flexible enclosure and allow a configuration of at least a portion of the guardrail system to extend through the opening.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for gesture navigation for a secondary user interface. For example, a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) may establish a communication connection with a secondary device having a secondary display (e.g., a television). The primary device may project a rendering of a secondary user interface, of a secondary application executing on the primary device (e.g., a photo app), to the secondary display of the secondary device. The secondary user interface may comprise a user interface element (e.g., a photo carousel). The primary device may receive a continuous motion gesture input (e.g., a looping gesture on a touch display of the smart phone). The primary device may visually traverse, through the secondary user interface, one or more content items of the user interface element based upon the continuous motion gesture input (e.g., scroll through photos of the photo carousel).

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing interactive text preview. For example, a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) establishes a communication channel with a secondary device (e.g., a television). The primary device projects an application interface, of an application hosted on the primary device, to a secondary display of the secondary device. An interrogation connection is established with a text entry canvas of the application interface. The primary device listens through the interrogation connection to identify text input data directed towards the text entry canvas. An interactive text preview interface, populated with textual information derived from the text input data, is displayed on a primary display of the primary device. In this way, the user may naturally preview text entry through the primary device (e.g., and does not have to look up to the television to see what is being typed).

Abstract: In many computing scenarios, a user of a primary device may wish to incorporate an auxiliary device in the presentation of an application. Such incorporation may involve a terminal services session that projects the computing environment of the primary device onto the auxiliary device; mirroring the computing environment of the primary device through the auxiliary device; and/or utilizing applications that interoperate with client applications executing on the second device. However, such techniques may not fully reflect the properties of each device, and/or may only apply to particular applications and/or configurations.

Abstract: The manner of presenting a user interface of an application may be significant in many respects. A user interface may be suitable only for some devices (e.g., buttons may be selectable by a pointer, but not on a touch-sensitive display; textboxes may appear too large or too small on different displays), and may satisfy only some user interactions (e.g., a map interface may be usable on a laptop by a stationary user, but not usable in a vehicle while the user is driving). Presented herein are techniques for automatically generating a user interface that is adapted both for the interaction component properties of the device, and the interaction criteria of the user interaction with the user interface. A device may choose the presentation of each element of a user interface based on such information, and generate a user interface matching both the device and the user interaction with the application.

Abstract: A semi-dry, one step electroblot transfer buffer composition for rapid transfer of proteins or polypeptides from polyacrylamide gel to a suitable membrane such as nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). The composition contains components that minimized electrical resistance and enabled high efficiency rapid semi-dry transfer using conventional readily available filter paper, i.e., cotton cellulose fiber.

Abstract: A system for installing control line secured to a tubular string suspended in a borehole includes a first arm having a pivotally secured first end about which a second end is rotatable with a generally vertical plane, and a second arm having a first end pivotally coupled to the second end of the first arm and a second end coupled to a control line retainer. The second arm slidably engages a stationary pathway at a position intermediate the first end and the second end of the second arm. The system also includes one or more cylinders for rotating the first arm and for translating and rotating the second arm within the vertical plane to move the control line retainer along a generally vertical path along the tubular string.

Abstract: An apparatus to attach a control line to a tubular member, in which the apparatus includes a control line arm having a first control line guide coupled thereto, and a base having a second control line guide coupled thereto, with the control line arm coupled to the base and movable with respect to the base. The control line arm may be movable between a raised position and a collapsed position with respect to the base, and the control line arm may be at least one of slidably coupled and rotatably coupled to the base.

Abstract: A system and method for a user interface to manage the recording, downloading and sharing of content from multiple sources are described. Various embodiments allow requesting content from a service provider by a user and receiving a user interface from the service provider, where the user interface indicates the availability of the content via multiple sources, and where the multiple sources include an Internet Protocol (IP) network, a broadcast service and a peer-to-peer network. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method and system of cleaning a turbocharger bypass control valve, the control valve being operable to vary the position of a bypass valve and thereby vary the amount of flow bypass across a turbine and/or compressor of a turbocharger for an engine. The method comprises: determining whether the control valve may require cleaning; adjusting the duty cycle of the shuttle so as to increase a flow of fluid through the control valve and clean the control valve; and adjusting a throttle position of the engine and thus the engine torque output to compensate for the adjustment in the amount of boost provided by the turbocharger.
