Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for generating, processing, assembling, and/or formatting data for display are described. Example display controllers are described in which image data is stored in a framebuffer, and a compositor selectively retrieves portions of the image data. At least one P-operator produces lines of intermediate P-operated data by performing at least one intra-line operation on the image data retrieved by the compositor, such as repeating or reordering pixels of the image data. A Q-operator produces a stream of pixel data by performing inter-line operations on the intermediate P-operated data, such as interpolating between lines of the P-operated data. A display is driven according to the stream of pixel data.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods used to assemble a structural member, such as a floor truss, are disclosed. The systems include a structural member assembly table including a worktable and a drop-down platform pivotably coupled to the worktable. The drop-down platform includes an end datum and a drop-down mechanism coupled to the support surface. The drop-down mechanism is configured to transition the support surface from an operational position to an eject position to drop the end datum below a work surface of the worktable to eject the assembled structural member from the worktable.

Abstract: Systems and methods for assembling structural components are disclosed wherein a selectively configurable fixture is placed on an assembly surface of an assembly table. An assembly table interface couples about a pin of a pin slot of the assembly table and, by means of linkage assembly, translates movement of the pin to a positioning member. The positioning member, by the translated movement of the pin, abuts an element of structural component and supports the element while a fastener is applied to join multiple elements of the structural component. A selectively configurable fixture may be used in isolation, or in combination with other fixtures.

Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system can generate entity links between a primary entity object identifying a primary entity for multiple accounts and secondary entity objects identifying secondary entities from the accounts. The computing system can determine a rate at which secondary users change on the accounts. The computing system can update, based on the determined rate, the primary entity object to include a fraud-facilitation flag. The computing system can also service a query from a client system regarding a presence of a fraud warning for a target consumer associated with a consumer system that accesses a service provided with the client system. For instance, the computing system can generate a fraud warning based on the target consumer being identified in a secondary entity object associated with the primary entity object having the fraud-facilitation flag. The computing system can transmit the fraud warning to the client system.

Abstract: A monitor stand comprises a first arm for coupling to a first monitor and a second arm for coupling to a second monitor. The first and second arms are coupled to an upper column of the monitor stand. A lower column of the monitor stand supports the upper column. The first arm, the second arm, and the upper column are configured to rotate around a rotation axis offset from a longitudinal center axis of the lower column to fold or unfold the monitor stand between an open and closed position.

Abstract: A pedestal for mounting an accessory onto a vehicle surface has a hollow core body with an oblong first slot at a top end for receiving a fastener therethrough and an oblong second slot within for holding a nut and engaging the fastener. The fastener and nut are linearly adjustable in a first direction along the slots for ease of aligning the accessory's mounting hole with the pedestal and fastener, so as to secure the accessory to the pedestal's top end with the fastener. The body may also have wider oblong slots and additional side body slits for fitting an elongate bar nut, to provide greater adjustability in a second direction within the pedestal for enhanced two dimensional alignment of the accessory with the pedestal and fastener. A skirt and adhesive pad at the bottom end of the body securely bond the pedestal, and hence the accessory, to the vehicle surface.

Abstract: Emissive layers for electroluminescent display devices are described herein. The emissive layer can include a two-dopant system having a population of quantum dots (QDs) and a population of molecules exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). In some instances, one or both of the QDs and TADF molecules can be disposed in a host matrix. In some instances, the QDs and TADF molecules can be disposed in separate host matrices. In some instances, an electroluminescent display device can include an emissive layer comprising a population of quantum dots (QDs) and a layer adjacent to the emissive layer, the adjacent layer comprising a population of molecules exhibiting thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF).

Abstract: An emissive layer of a top-emitting (TE) printed display comprises a combination of solution-processable nanocrystal quantum dots, thermally activated delayed fluorescent molecules, and a suitable host material along with both electron and hole charge transport materials sandwiched into a microcavity between a reflective bottom electrode and a transparent or semi-transparent top electrode. The electrodes may be reflective metals and the thickness of the emissive layers and charge transport layers may be tuned according to the required resonant wavelength along with the thickness of the top semi-transparent electrode to optimize the resonant condition and maximize the light output.
