Abstract: A system prioritizes workflows based on priority levels and calculates an amount of resource consumption associated with the workflows. Each client starts a predefined time period with a certain amount of credits that indicate a degree of resource consumption. Workflows may be run with high priorities using credits. Workflows that are run with higher priorities are scheduled to run before workflows with lower priorities. A degree of resource consumption for running a workflow may be calculated based on resources consumed by the system, such as central processing unit (CPU), memory storage, network usage and elapsed time. The degree of resource consumption for running a workflow may be calculated and converted to an amount of credits and the respective amount of credits may be deducted from a credit balance associated with the client's account. The degree of resource consumption associated with a workflow may be estimated before the workflow starts running.

Abstract: A laser-machining device comprising a laser-radiation source to generate a laser beam and emit it along an optical path; a beam-splitting unit downstream of the laser-radiation source designed to split the laser beam into a bundle of partial beams; an optical control unit downstream of the beam-splitting unit comprising a reflective optical functional unit formed by an array of reflective microscanners, wherein the optical control unit is designed to select any desired number of partial beams in any desired spatial combination from the bundle of partial beams and direct them onto a workpiece, and to position and/or move at least one of those partial beams within a specified partial-beam scanning region of the respective partial beam using the microscanner of the array of microscanners assigned to the respective partial beam, and methods for laser machining a workpiece.

Abstract: An electrodynamic acoustic transducer is disclosed, which comprises at least one coil with a coil wire being wound around a loop axis and a magnet system being designed to generate a magnetic field transverse to a longitudinal extension of the coil wire and transverse to the loop axis. Furthermore, the electrodynamic acoustic transducer comprises a membrane, which is fixed to the at least one coil and to the magnet system or to a frame/housing of the electrodynamic acoustic transducer. In addition, the electrodynamic acoustic transducer comprises a suspension system, which is fixed to the at least one coil and to the magnet system or to said frame/housing. In detail, the suspension system is fixed to the at least one coil in a region of a side wall of the at least one coil, which is oriented parallel to the loop axis.

Abstract: A system (1) dispenses dosages of a powdery substance. It has a robotic handler (2), a weighing module (8) with a weighing pan (9), at least one storage rack (4) for holding a plurality of dispensing heads (3) and at least one storage rack (6) for holding a plurality of vials (5), a dosage dispenser unit (11) with a dispensing head receiver (12), a vial handling tool (17) and a dispensing head handling tool (18), a tool-docking station (19) for the handling tools, and a controller terminal unit (20). Different weighing pan adapters (15) adapt the weighing pan to different shapes and sizes of vials. Relative to a vertical working orientation, tlower portions of the weighing pan adapters are identical, to fit the weighing pan, but upper portions are different, to accommodate different shapes and sizes of vials. A station (16) is provided for storing the weighing pan adapters.

Abstract: A dynamic loudspeaker driver, comprising: a magnet-system; a membrane; the membrane being movably mounted with respect to the magnet-system; at least one voice coil attached to the membrane and operatively coupled with the magnet-system; at least one figure 8-shaped coil attached to the membrane and to a lateral surface of the at least one voice coil.

Abstract: A swing type garage door has one or more of several features, including a door body rotationally connected to a door frame, the door body having one or more of: a trussing system having vertical and horizontal truss members, the horizontal members having openings through which the vertical members extend to distribute a load on the door body to the door frame in both a vertical and a horizontal direction; first and second sections hingedly connected with a hinge to allow ease in transport; a main door body section and a door load truss section hingedly connected at a bottom of the main door body to provide load trussing when the door is open; and at least one brace rotatably connected to the door body on an interior thereof and rotatable between a first bracing position and a second storage position to brace in high wind loading conditions.

Abstract: A method and system for organizing and implementing a coach's practice or game plan using pre-stored templates and libraries of media, drills, and exercises that can be selected by a user to create a custom plan. The system and method incorporates a timer to keep a plan on schedule and alarms that ensure compliance with the schedule. The plans can be shared with players, and homework assignments generates and communicated via the application.

Abstract: A system and methods for controlling operation of hydraulic cylinders includes monitoring position of the cylinders relative to one another, and correction of misalignment of the cylinders should they become misaligned. Further, monitoring can be of a swing-type door operated using the cylinders, which can operate the door at different speeds. Further, as the door creeps open from a closed position or closed from an open position, correction is also made.
