Abstract: An interactive touch-screen display device includes a liquid crystal layer; a conductive layer, the conductive layer being translucent and electronically grounded; a polarizer; and a glass layer, wherein the conductive layer contacts the glass layer and contacts the polarizer. Additionally, a method of assembling an interactive touch-screen display device includes creating an assembly by layering a liquid crystal layer and a polarizer. The method also includes bringing a conductive material proximate to the polarizer; creating a static charge on the conductive material to attract dust particles to the conductive material; and removing the conductive material, thereby carrying away dust particles.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for processing requests for digital components. A method includes receiving a request from a client device for a digital component generated by a first SDK installed at a client device, examining data fields of the request by servers, generating real-time requests by the servers, and transmitting each real-time request to a third-party digital component provider by the servers. The method further includes receiving responses to the real-time requests from the third party digital component provider by the servers, selecting a particular response to transmit to the client device responsive to the request for the digital component by the servers, and transmitting the particular response to the first SDK with instructions specifying which SDK installed at the client device is required to render a digital component included in the particular response by the servers.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an armour layer of a flexible pipe for transporting fluid from a subsea location and apparatus are provided. The method comprises winding a first length of composite tape to form a first section of the armour layer and positioning an end region of the first length of composite tape over an end region of a second length of composite tape to form an overlapping tape section. Heat and pressure is applied to the overlapping tape section to form a joined overlapping tape section in which the first length of tape is joined to the second length of tape such that the joined overlapping tape section has a lap shear strength of at least 11 MPa. The joined overlapping tape section and the second length of composite tape are wound to form a second section of the armour layer.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a rearview system detects the present and information regarding one or more second vehicles. The system uses the information regarding the second vehicles to determine whether a collision may occur. In the event of a predictive collision, the system provides the user a warning. In another embodiment, the rearview system presents video data having different fields-of-capture. In another embodiment, the system includes a user interface that includes a display and a haptic pad. The display presents information. The haptic pad enables the user to provide information to the system. A location on the haptic pad corresponds to a location on the display. The user may manipulate the haptic pad to activate icons presented on the display.
