Abstract: A container having a pressurized chamber containing a fluidic material and a dispensing assembly coupled thereto. The dispensing assembly includes a dispensing passageway for discharging the fluidic material from the container. A dispensing valve, a tilt valve, and a pump assembly are all operably coupled to the dispensing passageway. The tilt valve is alterable between a closed state in which the pressurized chamber is scaled and an open state in which the dispensing passageway is fluidly coupled to the pressurized chamber. The pump assembly is alterable between a first state in which a variable volume of the dispensing passageway in at a first volume and a second state in which the variable volume is at a second volume that is less than the first volume. Thus, the pump assembly creates a negative pressure behind the dispensing valve to prevent excess fluidic material from being dispensed.

Abstract: A container for dispensing a composition comprises a container body extending along a longitudinal axis from a bottom end to a top end, the container body defining an internal cavity for holding the composition. The container body comprises a neck having a container opening open to the internal cavity, a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of side walls extending between the front and rear wall, and a shoulder comprising a pair of first shoulder walls extending between the neck and a respective side wall of the container body, the first shoulder walls extending at a first non-perpendicular angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. The container also comprises a shoulder fitting attached to the neck, the shoulder fitting extending over the first and second shoulders of the container body and including a nozzle extending therethrough, the nozzle open to the opening.

Abstract: The disclosure herein pertains to a system and method for management of personalization content. The system and method divide the personalization information into offline personalization information and situational personalization information. Offline personalization information is independent of context and predetermined before a content request. A personalization model can dynamically allocate the selection between offline personalization information and situational personalization information.

Abstract: A quick-release, horizontal logistic track having a coupling mechanism that allows two such quick-release logistic tracks to interlock so as to effectively form a continuous track that varies in length as a section of track is added or removed from the series. Installed, the multiple sections of quick-release logistic track become one integrated track that is flush from end to end on the same sidewall. The quick-release logistic track has two integral couplings that consist of a male coupling and a female coupling on opposing ends enabling the male end of a newly installed track in the series to be coupled to a female end of a separate track that is already anchored in a vertical logistic post slot. As the newly installed track's male end is coupled to the anchored female end the newly installed track's opposing female end is then anchored to an adjacent vertical logistic post slot. This method is repeated until the desired length of quick-release logistic track is satisfied.

Abstract: A power management system to manage energy sources for use with an energy-powered component includes an energy source detector to determine, between a first and a second of the energy sources, which has a lower state-of-charge and which has a higher state-of-charge, a controller to designate the energy source with the lower state-of-charge as a primary energy source and the other energy source as a secondary energy source, and an energy source selector to selectively enable the primary energy source to provide power to the energy-powered component.

Abstract: A quick-release logistic track having a coupling device and logistic track that creates a sidewall flush-mounted logistic track that allows for continuous cargo tie down points, working in conjunction with primarily vertical slotted posts, that can be placed at any location in the cargo area of a semi-trailer and other cargo transporting vehicles' enabling cargo restraint devices to be placed directly against cargo regardless of where the cargo is positioned. Assembled, the coupling and its logistic track becomes a removable and repositionable horizontal assembly that lays flush against the sidewall and ties together, with two inch centered logistic slots, two permanently mounted vertical logistic posts located on the same sidewall.

Abstract: Present embodiments relate to systems, methods, and devices for decomposing a physiological signal of a patient using empirical mode decomposition (EMD). In one embodiment, the EMD algorithm may involve identifying a frequency component, referred to as an intrinsic mode function, in the physiological signal. The physiological signal may be decomposed into one or more intrinsic mode functions through multiple iterations of the EMD algorithm. Each subsequent mode function may have a different frequency component of the original physiological signal input into the EMD algorithm. In some embodiments, each mode function may be further analyzed and/or processed to determine various physiological data corresponding to blood flow in the patient.
