Abstract: A syringe containing a high water content product and for use in a drug infusion system is provided. The syringe includes a plunger carrying front and rear o-rings made of a diene rubber compound such as chlorobutyl rubber or bromobutyl rubber to impart very low gas permeability characteristics to the o-rings. The plunger may be molded as a single part or in two parts. If molded as one part with radially-engaging mold portions, the seal glands in the plunger may include parting lines from the mold. If molded as two parts with axially-engaging mold portions, the front seal gland may include a sealing surface and under cut that has no parting line. The o-rings may be surface treated with a lubricant to improve sealing where the molding process gives rise to parting lines in the seal glands, which can result in leak paths on the ID of the o-rings. The o-rings provide a gas-tight sliding seal that can withstand temperature changes from ?25° C. to 40° C.

Abstract: In various examples, users may access a tool that automatically generates video montages from video clips of the user's gameplay according to parameterized recipes. As a result, a user may select—or allow the system to select—clips corresponding to gameplay of the user and customize one or more parameters (e.g., transitions, music, audio, graphics, etc.) of a recipe, and a video montage may be generated automatically according to a montage script output using the recipe. As such, a user may have a video montage generated with little user involvement, and without requiring any skill or expertise in video editing software. In addition, even for experienced video editors, automatic video montage generation may be a useful alternative to save the time and effort of manually curating video montages.

Abstract: Described herein is a process for increasing mass flow of an exhaust gas through a catalytic converter system for a vehicle. The process may comprise determining a centerline and corresponding cumulative centerline bend angle of a first catalytic converter system spanning from an inlet point at a first end of the catalytic converter systems exhaust pipe to an outlet point at a second end of the catalytic converter systems extension pipe. Once determined, the cumulative centerline bend angle may be increased by increasing an individual bend radius of at least one bend within the exhaust pipe and/or within the extension pipe.

Abstract: A heat shield for a combustor of a gas turbine engine. The heat shield includes an annular ring having an axial direction, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. The annular ring includes a plurality of circumferential segments. Each circumferential segment of the plurality of circumferential segments is disconnected from an adjacent circumferential segment of the plurality of circumferential segments to allow for thermal growth of each circumferential segment during operation of the combustor.

Abstract: A cooking system positionable on a support surface including a housing having an internal heating compartment and an opening formed in said housing for accessing said internal heating compartment. The housing is movable between a first position and second position. The opening is arranged within a first plane when said housing is in said first position, and the opening is arranged within a second plane when said housing is in said second position, said first plane and said second plane being distinct.

Abstract: The invention provides aza-heterocyclyl carboxamide and related compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and their use in the treatment of medical conditions, such as bacterial infections, and in inhibiting LpxC activity.

Abstract: Examples provide a brake pedal assembly including a pedal housing, a bracket for securement within a vehicle, and a pedal arm having a proximal portion pivotally supported by the pedal housing and a distal portion including a foot pad spaced from the bracket. The pedal arm pivots from an unactuated position to a fully actuated position in response to application of a force to the foot pad. A pedal emulator system provides variable operator feedback as the pedal arm pivots in response to the application of force. The pedal emulator system includes a first spring set engaged with the pedal arm at the unactuated position and operable to bias the pedal arm toward the unactuated position, and a second spring set engaged with the pedal arm only after the pedal arm pivots from the unactuated position to a first intercept position between the unactuated and fully actuated positions.

Abstract: A computing platform may generate a schema to prompt for user access information, wherein the user access information includes: 1) a set of authorized users and 2) one or more portions of an information source to which the set of authorized users have access.

The computing platform may translate the user access information to structured user information, which may include translating the user access information from a first format into a second format. The computing platform may send, to a second user device corresponding to one of the set of authorized users, the structured user information.
