Abstract: The present invention provides a label clip for use with a bin divider, having a first major face and a second label bearing face. Typically, the first major face and the second label bearing face are angled from one another by an angle of approximately 0-60° and preferably by about 20°. The faces are connected to a divider of a bin system by an extension leg and a retaining leg and preferably an insertion leg. One or more reinforcing sections may link the extension leg and label face. The clip may also optionally include one or more gripping sections protruding from the extension leg toward the major face.

Abstract: The invention relates to a burner module having a body that is either sintered or photo-cured, and to methods of making such a burner module. The body (110) of the burner (100) is formed from one of a sintered metal, a sintered alloy, a laminated glass ceramic, and a photo-cured polymer. 1 Sintering and photo-curing may be accomplished by irradiating the body with localized heating using a focused energy source, such as a laser. The burner module is resistant to thermal shock and provides a distributed, even stream of a precursor or precursors to be reacted in a flame of the burner module to form soot, which is to deposited on a receptor surface, and may be used for vapor and liquid precursor delivery systems. A soot deposition system having an array of such burner modules and methods of making a fused silica article by depositing soot using the burner modules are also described.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for facilitating a merchant transaction comprises providing a list of one or more merchants that are in geographic proximity to a geolocation of a payer, and receiving a request from the payer to conduct a transaction with a merchant among the one or more merchants. The request can be received by a computer system programmed to facilitate the transaction. The transaction can then be processed with the aid of the computer system. A tip selection, which can include a tip amount, can be applied to the transaction. In some cases the tip selection is received from the payer as a selectable option. In other cases, the tip selection is automatically applied to the transaction without involvement from the payer during or upon the termination of the transaction.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for distributed memory management comprising a network component configured for network communication with one or more memory resources that store data and one or more consumer devices that use data, the network component comprising a switching device in operative communication with a mapping resource, wherein the mapping resource is configured to associate mappings between data addresses associated with memory requests from a consumer device relating to a data object and information relating to a storage location in the one or more memory resources associated with the data from the data object, wherein each data address has contained therein identification information for identifying the data from the data object associated with that data address; and the switching device is configured to route memory requests based on the mappings.

Abstract: Systems, methods and devices for management of instances of virtual memory components for storing computer readable information for use by at least one first computing device, the system comprising at least one physical computing device, each physical computing device being communicatively coupled over a network and comprising: a physical memory component, a computing processor component, an operating system, a virtual machine monitor, and virtual memory storage appliances; at least one of the virtual memory storage appliances being configured to (a) accept memory instructions from the at least one first computing device, (b) instantiate instances of at least one virtual memory component, (c) allocate memory resources from at least one physical memory component for use by any one of the least one virtual memory components, optionally according to a pre-defined policy; and (d) implement memory instructions on the at least one physical memory component.

Abstract: A clinical predictive and monitoring system comprising a data store operable to receive and store data associated with a plurality of patients selected from medical and health data; and a number of social, behavioral, lifestyle, and economic data; at least one predictive model to identify at least one high-risk patient associated with at least one medical condition; a risk logic module operable to apply the at least one predictive model to the patient data to determine at least one risk score associated the at least one medical condition and identify at least one high-risk patient; a data presentation module operable to present notification and information to an intervention coordination team about the identified at least one high-risk patient; and an artificial intelligence tuning module adapted to automatically adjust parameters in the predictive model in response to trends in the patient data.

Abstract: A medical device for occluding a Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) of a human heart, including an expandable sponge-like component, having a proximal and distal ends, configured to transition between a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. The expanded configuration of the sponge-like component is configured to conform to at least the entrance to the LAA, which is sufficient to prevent blood flow within the heart from entering the LAA.

Abstract: Automatic exposure adjusting device considers the image on a pixel-by-pixel basis. Each pixel is characterized according to its most significant bits. After the pixels are characterized, the number of pixels in any particular group is counted. That counting is compared with thresholds which set whether the image is over exposed, under exposed, and can optionally also determine if the image is seriously over exposed or seriously under exposed. Adjustment of the exposure is carried out to bring the image to a more desired state.

Abstract: A new variety of sweetpotato identified as ‘07-146’ is disclosed having disease resistance to fusarium wilt, rhizopus soft rot, and Streptomyces soil rot, an orange flesh, and high yield characteristics.

Abstract: A new variety of sweetpotato identified as ‘05-111’ is disclosed having disease resistance to both fusarium wilt, rhizopus soft rot, and Streptomyces soil rot, a orange flesh, and high yield characteristics.

Abstract: An operating system provides an extensible share action to broker content sharing between applications executing on a computing platform such as a personal computer, tablet computer, or smartphone. The share action enables a consistent user experience for content sharing to be implemented across all applications and eliminates users having to switch from the current application they are using to some other functionality in order to share content. Applications can participate with the operating system share action as source applications and/or target applications. Source applications may describe what content is shareable given the current state of their application when the user chooses to invoke the share action. Target applications can be configured to receive the shared content from the source application according to content type, and will expose a companion view of their application to the user that is specifically tailored to facilitate sharing.

Abstract: A new variety of sweetpotato identified as ‘Bonita’ is disclosed as having disease resistance to both southern root-knot nematode and soil rot, a white flesh, a high dry matter content, and high yield characteristics.
