Abstract: The present invention is directed to N-linked lactam compounds of general formula (I) which are M1 receptor positive allosteric modulators and that are useful in the treatment of diseases in which the M1 receptor is involved, such as Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, pain or sleep disorders. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and to the use of the compounds and compositions in the treatment of diseases mediated by the M1 receptor.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating pages of content using API requests are described. Users can create web pages that are a collection of references to API queries. An example includes doors which are web pages that are portals to realms of content. Users can create doors by associating API references to a variety of previously created content assets which are called by the front-end to render the door when web users visit the door. The tool includes user interface elements that make creating and saving the API references easy. For example, pickers are provided for selecting API references to individual assets, query makers are provided for formulating previewing, merging and normalizing references to dynamic API searches, overriding functionality is provided for manually grooming the asset references returned by dynamic API searches or individual asset references, and the like.

Abstract: A drum hatch engaging mechanism is for inclusion in a laundry appliance having a cabinet and a drum rotatable within the cabinet. The mechanism includes a drum hatch engaging member connected with the cabinet with the connection providing for movement of the member between non-engagement and engagement positions. An actuator is provided to selectively move the drum hatch engaging member between the positions. A catch member is connected with a sliding hatch of the drum. The connection between the catch member and the sliding hatch provides for movement of the catch member between a position adjacent the skin of the drum and an outwardly displaced position. The drum hatch engaging member includes a ramped abutment to engage and lift the catch member to the outer position through movement of the catch member toward the abutment during an opening rotation of the drum. The hatch engaging member includes a closing abutment facing the ramped abutment.

Abstract: A laundry drying machine includes a cabinet and a laundry holding drum rotatably supported within said cabinet for rotation about a horizontal axis. The drum includes a cylindrical wall and a pair of ends. A drum hatch comprises a section of the cylindrical wall. A motor is connected to drive rotation of the drum via a drive belt. A hatch engaging member is actuable to grasp and hold the drum hatch relative to the cabinet. A controller operatively connected with the motor, is configured to operate the machine through each of: a) an opening operation in which the drum hatch is grabbed by the hatch engaging member and the drum is rotated to expose an opening, b) a closing operation, which follows a drum opening operation and in which the drum is rotated to re-close a the opening with the drum hatch, and c) a drying operation.

Abstract: A self adjusting foot arrangement for an appliance cabinet has a first socket connected with the cabinet and a second socket connected with the cabinet spaced apart from the first socket. A foot downwardly protrudes from each socket and is moveable along axis into and out of the respective socket. A non-extensile band is fixed at one end to the first socket, passes into the first socket to bear on the first foot and is fixed at its other end to the second socket passing into the second socket to bear on the second foot. The band passes over the top of each foot within the respective socket.

Abstract: A laundry machine includes a cabinet and a laundry holding drum rotatably supported within the cabinet. The drum includes a wall and a drum hatch comprising a section of the wall. A motor is connected to drive rotation of the drum. A controller is operatively connected with the motor. The controller is configured to operate the motor to drive the drum through a closing operation. The closing operation includes rotating the drum in a direction to bring the drum opening toward the drum hatch to re-close the opening with the drum hatch and to detect stopping of the drum rotation. The controller may provide user feedback that a closure disruption has occurred. The drum hatch is configured to close circumferentially, with a leading edge of the drum hatch approaching a leading edge of the remaining wall. The leading edges are shaped such that interposition of fabric between the leading edges during closure stops the drum hatch reaching a fully closed position.

Abstract: A bridged communications network includes source routing transparent (SRT) bridges which forward frames that are structured in accordance with a source routing architecture and frames that are structured in accordance with a transparent bridging architecture. Each SRT bridge examines a received frame to determine its type. If the frame is a bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) frame, it is used to set the bridge in a forwarding or blocking state. Any non-BPDU which carries a routing information indicator (RII) bit set to a logical "1" are processed by a source routing function device which is provided in the SRT bridge. If the RII bit is set to logical "0", the frame is processed by a transparent bridge function device which is also provided in the SRT bridge.
