Abstract: A temperature-controlled calibration source for thermal imaging that provides for extremely inexpensive, mass producible, field deployable thermal calibration in specific, relatively low temperature ranges, and in particular temperatures near nominal human body temperature. A calibration source suitable for such applications may be implemented primarily as a suitable designed Printed Circuit Board (PCB), packaged in a thermally isolating housing and powered of commonly available power sources such as USB chargers.

Abstract: The subject matter herein provides a method, apparatus and computer program product that combines, in one intuitive interface, visualization user interfaces (UIs) as used for descriptive analytics, with workflow UIs as used for predictive analytics. These interfaces provide a visual workspace front-end. The workspace is coupled to a back-end that comprises a data processing engine that combines progressive computation, approximate query processing, and sampling, together with a focus on supporting user-defined operations, to drive the front-end efficiently and in real-time. The processing engine achieves rapid responsiveness through progressive sampling, quickly returning an initial answer, typically on a random sample of data, before continuing to refine that answer in the background. In this manner, any operation carried out in the platform immediately provides a visual response, regardless of the underlying complexity of the operation or data size.

Abstract: A countersink go/no-go gauge is configured to aid a determination of whether a countersink aperture for a rivet is formed to a desired depth. The countersink go/no-go gauge includes a head having a depth defined between a top surface and a bottom surface and a shaft extending from the top surface of the head. The depth of the head is substantially equal to a desired depth of a countersink aperture. In some embodiments the go/no-go gauge includes tolerance features to provide a range for an acceptable countersink depth.

Abstract: A sample vessel retention mechanism for an inverted microscope having an optical objective and a scanning probe microscope (SPM) head. The inverted microscope includes a platform for supporting a sample vessel, in which is formed an aperture sized to provide a passage for the objective of the inverted microscope to approach the sample vessel from below. The retention mechanism provides a vacuum region formed in the platform, with the vacuum region being barometrically coupled with a vacuum generator. Establishment of a vacuum in the vacuum region prevents or substantially reduces oscillation of the sample vessel floor in an operating frequency range of the SPM head.

Abstract: An analytic platform, article of manufacture, system, computer-readable medium, and method for selecting and inserting advertisements for delivery to a content viewing device. A plurality of advertising metrics are generated from data originating from a plurality of content viewing devices. Then, an advertisement is selected for presentation along with content directed to one of the content viewing devices, the advertisement being selected based on the advertising metrics. Once selected, the advertisement is added to the content for delivery to said one of the content viewing devices.

Abstract: An apparatus having an enclosure that is mountable on a computer rack. The apparatus comprising: a U-shaped plate, two end-caps, and a module having three faces. The U-shaped plate comprising a channel and forming a bottom face and at least a portion of the front and back faces of the enclosure. The module, which has three faces, is configured to mate with the U-shaped plate via the channel. When the module is mated with the U-shaped plate, the three faces of the module form, at least partially, the top, front and back faces of the enclosure. The two end-caps are configured to be attached to the U-shaped plate at distal ends of the U-shaped plate, wherein, when the two end-caps are attached to the U-shaped plate, side walls of the end-caps form two side faces of the enclosure.
