Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein can increase the speed and ease with which a user can discover compatible replacement parts for a specified model of a product by automatically determining when the user is interested in replacement parts. A replacement part system can conclude that a user is looking for replacement parts based on the user's search queries, the user's browsing behavior, or the user's prior purchases. By automatically deducing an intention to purchase a replacement part, the replacement part system can make it easier for a user to locate suitable replacement parts. In addition, the replacement part system can be configured to tailor listing set of replacement parts search results it provides to a user. The set of search results can be tailored based on a number of criteria to increase the speed with which the user finds a compatible replacement part.

Abstract: The present patent application discloses a data analytics system with a split plane architecture that utilizes a workflow management module in a control plane for cloud-based computing. The system receives workflow files from client devices and stores those workflow files in a cloud storage associated with the user. The data plane, which executes the workflow file, retrieves the file directly from the cloud storage or through an API provided by the workflow management module. A workflow engine wrapper, containing a stager system and an execution system, prepares workflow files for execution and stores generated results in the cloud storage.

Abstract: A clutch plate includes a disk-shaped plate having an outer perimeter edge and a center opening having an inner perimeter edge, one of the outer perimeter edge and the inner perimeter edge including splines circumferentially there along, the disk-shaped plate having a first side face and a second side face each including a friction surface configured to engage a first opposing clutch plate, the disk-shaped plate having a plurality of return springs integrally formed in the disk-shaped plate, the plurality of return springs being bent to extend outward from a surface of one of the first side face and the second side face.

Abstract: A device comprises one or more circuits that dynamically adjust a load profile of one or more processing devices processing a workload in a bulk-synchronous mode.

Abstract: A semiconductor stack, including a carrier and a semiconductor device arranged above the carrier; non-releasable interconnections electrically and mechanically connecting the semiconductor device and the carrier; a first contact on at least one of the carrier or the semiconductor device: a second contact on at least one of the carrier or the semiconductor device; an electrical connection structure electrically conductively coupling the first contact and the second contact with each other via at least one non-releasable interconnection of the non-releasable interconnections; and wherein the electrical connection structure comprises a plurality of test diode circuits integrated in at least one of the carrier and the semiconductor device, wherein each of the test diode circuits comprises one or more diodes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ink fluid set containing an aqueous pretreatment composition and an aqueous inkjet ink. This ink fluid set is particularly suitable for printing on offset coated media.

Abstract: An article feeder assembly having a pocketed separator and a discharge tube configured to deliver articles to the pocketed separator. Some embodiments include an initial feeder assembly in overlying relation with a track extending from the initial feeder assembly to the discharge tube. Articles are oriented in end-to-end orientation in the initial feeder assembly and delivered to the pocketed separator in vertical end-to-end orientation. As pocketed separator rotates with respect to discharge tube, vertical retention members pass through a tunnel in the discharge tube and rotate articles out of the discharge tube. The discharged articles are secured in pockets delineated by the retention members. Some embodiments use one or more cam mechanisms to properly orient the discharged articles as the pocketed separator rotates. Properly oriented articles are then delivered to an advancing mechanism, such as a conveyor system.

Abstract: A spray head adapted for connection to a supply of fluid. The head includes a body to receive the supply of fluid and a number of conical mixing volumes, in fluid connection with the body and supply of fluid, each conical mixing volume having an outlet. Each conical mixing volume includes at least one first inlet for a flow of fluid into the conical mixing volume at an angle to a conical axis thereof, and at least one second inlet for a flow of fluid into the conical mixing volume substantially parallel to the conical axis. There is a valve disposed upstream of the conical mixing volumes, the valve adapted to divide and vary the supply of fluid flow between the at least one first inlet and the at least one second inlet, which in turn varies the output of the fluid from the outlet of the conical mixing volumes.

Abstract: An electronically locking differential assembly constructed in accordance to the present disclosure includes a differential casing, a first and second side gear, a lock actuation assembly and a lock detect mechanism. The lock actuation mechanism selectively moves between a locked state where the side gears are fixed for concurrent rotation and an unlocked state where the side gears rotate relative to each other. The lock detect mechanism detects whether the lock actuation mechanism is in the locked, unlocked state, and an intermediate position between the locked and unlocked state; then provides feedback to the driver on the state of the lock actuation mechanism.
