  • Publication number: 20220151402
    Abstract: A modular product display system has at least two vertically stacked layers. Each layer has at least one roller track supported on one longitudinal end by a rail such that the one longitudinal end is at a different elevation than the other longitudinal end. At least two vertical stacking side barriers are disposed at laterally spaced apart positions between the roller track in each of the vertically stacked layers. The vertical stacking side barriers have protrusions on an upper edge and a lower edge engageable with corresponding openings in the roller track. Either (i) the protrusions on at least one of the upper edge and the lower edge are displaced from a plane of the vertical stacked side barrier, or (ii) the vertical stacked side barriers between the at least two vertically stacked layers are laterally displaced from vertical stacked side barriers between further vertically stacked layers.

  • Publication number: 20220122038
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI) platform to support workflow version process control. One or more workflows corresponding to one or more workflow engines are monitored. A neural network is employed to capture a relationship associated with a detected change in the monitored workflows. The neural network is leveraged to identify and assess an impact of the detected change to one or more additional workflows. Responsive to the assessment, the impacted workflow engines are optimized. The optimization includes automatically mapping and encoding changes corresponding to the impacted workflow. The one or more workflows containing the encoded changes are then executed.

  • Publication number: 20210404794
    Abstract: The position detector of an object comprises a body defining an input receiving an optical fibre delivering a light signal, and an output delivering a signal representative of the position of the object. A mirror is mounted to move between first and second positions in the body with respect to the input. The first position or the second position ensures transmission of the light signal from the input to the output. The other of the first position and the second position prevents transmission of the light signal to the output. A spring is mounted in the body in order to place the mirror in the first position. A tip is movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position along a direction of movement and is intended to cooperate with the object to be monitored.

  • Publication number: 20210337838
    Abstract: Fumonisins are a type of mycotoxin that contaminate different products, for example, feed and food products, including corn-based products, which can lead to serious health risks to humans and livestock. Current methods for detoxifying fumonisin-contaminated products are complex and expensive. The present disclosure provides a recombinant microbial host cell expressing an heterologous polypeptide having fumonisin amine oxidase activity, the recombinant microbial host cell comprising an heterologous nucleic acid molecule encoding the heterologous polypeptide having fumonisin amine oxidase activity, a variant thereof or a fragment thereof. The heterologous polypeptide having fumonisin amine oxidase activity can be used to detoxify a fumonisin mycotoxin present in feed and food products, for example from grains and products derived from grains.

  • Patent number: 11146461
    Abstract: Various example implementations are directed to circuits, apparatuses, and methods for monitoring and/or analysis of computing servers. According to an example embodiment, an apparatus includes a processing circuit having an analysis circuit configured to retrieve operating state data for a plurality of servers. The analysis circuit determines an operating state of each of the servers for a plurality of time periods. The determined operating state is one of an up state, a warning state, and a down state. The processing circuit also includes an interface circuit configured to provide a graphical user interface (GUI). For each of the servers, the GUI displays a timeline having a respective time block for each of the plurality of time periods. Each time block has a graphical indication of one of the three states of operation corresponding to the operating state of the server at the corresponding time period.

  • Publication number: 20210302935
    Abstract: A plurality of system control devices respectively include network interfaces for communicating with each other via a network. One of the plurality of system control devices functions as a master system control device, and the remaining system control devices function as slave system control devices. The master system control device transmits a control command to the slave system control devices by means of the network interface. The slave system control devices receive the control command by means of the network interfaces and supply an operation command to abatement devices in accordance with the control command. When unable to communicate with the master system control device, the slave system control devices either function as master system control devices or enter stand-alone operation mode.

  • Patent number: 11119746
    Abstract: Extension patterns are deployed to core deployment patterns stored in a first software repository. An event relating to registration of a component is detected. In response to detecting the event, a tool registry can be queried to identify one or more extension deployment patterns for use with one or more core deployment patterns. Based upon the query, one or more extension deployment components can be retrieved from a second software repository. The one or more extension deployment components can be deployed on top of one or more instances of the one or more core deployment patterns.

  • Patent number: 11082056
    Abstract: A stage, suitable for use in an analog to digital converter or a digital to analog converter, can have a plurality of slices that can be operated together to form a composite output. The stage can have reduced thermal noise, while each slice on its own has sufficiently small capacitance to respond quickly to changes in digital codes applied to the slice. This feature allows a fast conversion to be achieved without loss of noise performance.
