The bottom ground rake is coupled to the circuit card to support the cable relative to the circuit card.

Abstract: The conversion of nootkatol to nootkatene in a terpene blend is mitigated or prevented by substantially or completely separating the nootkatols such as a-nootkatol from compounds present in the terpene blend that catalyze the chemical reaction of nootkatol to nootkatene, and/or by at least partially neutralizing the compounds present in the terpene blend that catalyze the chemical reaction of nootkatol to nootkatene. Methods of preparing terpene blends, terpene blends, flavour compositions containing the terpene blends, beverages and foodstuffs containing the flavour compositions, fragrance compositions containing the terpene blends, and fragranced products containing the fragrance composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for receiving requests for roadside assistance, generating user interfaces and using machine learning to generate roadside assistance instructions are provided. In some examples, a request for roadside assistance may be received. A user and one or more partners may be identified based on the request. In some examples, a profile associated with the user, partner or the like may be identified. A user interface may be generated based on the profile and may include features unique to the profile, partner, or the like. In some arrangements, the interface may include a first portion and a second portion. Selection of an option from the first portion may cause the system to identify data for display in the second portion and cause the data to be displayed in the second portion. Machine learning may be used to determine or identify one or more roadside assistance instructions and a roadside assistance instruction may be generated and executed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing the visual acuity of person using a computerized consumer device are described.

Abstract: A tube forming apparatus for forming polymeric tubing includes a housing between rear and discharge ends. The tube forming apparatus includes a core tube assembly with an exterior core tube and an inner core tube positioned partially therein and in an interior area of the housing. The tube forming apparatus includes a die that has an inner die-surface. A diverter tip is mounted in and extends from the inner core tube into the die forming a die opening between the die and the diverter tip. The tube forming apparatus includes a core tube adjustment system mounted proximate the rear end which includes an axial displacement device configured to axially position the core tube assembly for modulating wall thickness of the tube and/or an angular displacement device configured to modulate the inner core tube for modulating concentricity of the tube.

The control circuit may access first budget status data generated in response to a transaction made with the payment card and modify the display to display a second display state indicating a second unused portion of the budget amount for the current budget period, wherein the second unused portion is based at least in part on the transaction.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for interest matched interaction initialization are described herein. A first set of profile attributes for a first user and second set of profile attributes for a second user may be obtained. A first set of data sources and a second set of data sources may be identified respectively using the first set and second set of profile attributes. A first dataset and a second dataset may be collected respectively using the first and second set of data sources. An interest vector model may be generated using data elements of the first dataset based on an interest identified in the first dataset. The second dataset may be evaluated using the interest vector model to identify the interest as a shared interest in the second dataset. An interaction initialization item may be generated by identifying content associated with the shared interest. The interaction initialization item may be transmitted to a device.
