Abstract: A high efficiency turf maintenance apparatus having low power consumption and good cutting performance is presented herein. A blade configuration is disclosed to provide lift and to propel turf clippings from within a mow deck through a discharge opening therein. A discharge body can receive turf clippings at an input and direct the turf clippings to an output. A bagging apparatus can be coupled to the discharge body output for a bagging mode, a side-rear diverter can be coupled to the discharge body output for a discharge mode, and a mulching plug can cover the discharge body output for a mulching mode.

Abstract: A high efficiency turf maintenance apparatus having low power consumption and good cutting performance is presented herein. A multi-blade blade assembly is disclosed to reduce power consumed in driving the blade assembly and enhance longevity of a dischargeable power supply. In some aspects described herein, a first blade of the multi-blade assembly can have a first length that is greater than a second length of a second blade. Further, the first blade or the second blade can be substantially bilaterally symmetric about a rotation axis of the multi-blade assembly. In alternative or additional aspects, the second blade can provide lift within a deck of the high efficiency turf maintenance apparatus to propel turf clippings from within the mow deck through a discharge opening therein.

Abstract: Compounds of the present invention and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions thereof, are useful as modulators of ATP-Binding Cassette (“ABC”) transporters or fragments thereof, including Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (“CFTR”). The present invention also relates to methods of treating ABC transporter mediated diseases using compounds of the present invention.

Abstract: A system comprising user interface software configured to provide a plurality of spectral data display and manipulation options on a display displaying spectral data, a user interface processor configured to display a pictorial representation of the spectral data display and manipulation options, and a user interface instruction engine configured to provide a plurality of data display and manipulation instructions to the user interface processor to provide display and manipulation of the displayed spectral data. The plurality of data display and manipulation instructions are received from a control device connected to a computing system and the manipulation of the displayed spectral data is based on a user response to the displayed spectral data manipulation options or a pre-determined selection of the displayed spectral data display manipulation options.

Abstract: Systems and methods for in-line viewing of files of multiple types, including files in mixed file formats, utilizing a single viewer or player are described. A single viewer is capable of displaying multiple file formats of both static and dynamic nature. The viewer may be used to display a wide variety of content accessible from a single web page, and web designers need only embed the single viewer to access many content types. The viewer receives a selection of a file to access and identifies the file type of the selected file. The viewer provides proper controls associated with the file type and displays or provides other access to the selected file. Thus the viewer provides a more streamlined experience to the user and simplifies accessing files of various file types. The viewer may be embedded in a web page or may be provided in a pop-up or modal window.

Abstract: Systems and methods for in-line viewing of files over a network such as the Internet are described. The files are organized into groups or lists, thus forming one or more products. The file or files in a single product may include files of various formats. The user uploading files can input or select the order in which the files of the product are to be displayed/played/accessed by other users. When a file is accessed, a determination is made as to the type of file to be accessed and a player or viewer appropriate for the file type is used to provide access to the file for the user. As each subsequent file in the product is accessed, the determination of the appropriate viewer or player is repeated and access to the file is provided accordingly. Multiple files may be simultaneously accessed using multiple players. Access restrictions may also be provided.
