Abstract: A system may receive inputs selecting an interest level from among a plurality of interest levels for each of a set of topics. the system may determine displayable information describing a subset of the set of topics based on the inputs, which displayable information may include media segments. The system may generate a sequence for the displayable information for the subset of topics using the inputs and defined ordering criteria, and it may present, for display in a graphical user interface on a client device, a digital demonstration including the sequence of the displayable information for the subset of topics.

Abstract: Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a TOR switch is mounted in a rack. The TOR switch is connected to a network fabric of a data center. A lock is used to control physical access to the rack. A request to physically access the rack is received from a computing device (e.g., a badge implementing a security token, or a mobile device). The request includes authentication credentials. The computing device is then authenticated. In response to authenticating the computing device, the lock is configured to provide physical access to the rack.

Abstract: A coating composition comprises a urethane resin, a water absorbent polymer, and a curing agent. The urethane resin is obtained by reaction of an isocyanate reactive compound having multi-epoxide functionality and an isocyanate. When applied to a substrate and thermally cured, the coating composition forms a transparent and smooth coating having permanent anti-fog property.

Abstract: Provided herein are various enhancements for antenna systems and directed radio frequency energy structures. In one example, an apparatus includes an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna elements formed by waveguide structures embedded within a substrate and positioned about a longitudinal axis of the substrate to form at least two concentric ring arrangements of antenna elements. Apertures of the waveguide structures are configured to emit or receive radio frequency (RF) energy generally along the longitudinal axis. Feed elements are coupled to each of the waveguide structures on an end opposite of the apertures, and configured to couple the RF energy for the antenna array.

Abstract: A hinge-rod removal and insertion tool for opening and closing modular conveyor belts during installation and servicing. The tool is a pliers with jaws forming a split aperture. The jaws open to admit the end of the hinge rod of a modular conveyor belt. The jaws close to grasp the hinge rod so that it can be pulled from the belt. A head at the distal end of the jaws is used to push a hinge rod back into the belt. The tools have lift hooks to lift a section of belt to gain access to the ends of the hinge rods.

Abstract: Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the rack. In one method, a client device of a user is used to select various network service options. The service options correspond to services that can be provided to computing equipment of the user that is mounted in various racks of the data center. In response to receiving the selection of one or more service options, the network fabric of the data center is configured to connect the computing equipment to the selected services. In one approach, the network fabric is configured by creating and/or configuring one or more virtual networks to provide the connection to the services.

Abstract: Top-of-rack (TOR) switches are connected to a network fabric of a data center. Each TOR switch corresponds to a respective rack of the data center, and is configured to provide access to the network fabric for computing devices mounted in the respective rack. A request is received, from a client device via a portal of the data center, to provide IP connectivity to one or more computing devices mounted in a rack. IP addresses are assigned that correspond to the IP connectivity. A virtual network is created in a network fabric of the data center. The created virtual network is associated with the assigned IP addresses. One or more of the TOR switches are configured to connect one or more ports of each respective TOR switch to the created virtual network.

Abstract: A diagnostic analysis method and system is provided for identifying a microorganism from a genome sequence. Partially or fully assembled microbial genomes or short reads from whole-genome sequencing of microbial genomes are processed into a 4 MB Boolean array while preserving 1% of the genomic information in a way that allows for rapid comparison of a query genome to a large reference database. This represents a critical savings in storage space and speed by which large reference libraries can be queried.

Abstract: A coating composition may include one or more radiation-curable resins having reactive groups in a hydrophilic region, a reactive surfactant comprising a reactive moiety; and a photoinitiator, wherein, upon the exposure of the photoinitiator to light energy, the one or more radiation-curable resins are cured to form a hydrophilic network with the reactive surfactant being bound to the network by binding of the reactive moiety of the surfactant to the reactive groups of the one or more radiation-curable resins. The cured coatings provide long lasting, washable, anti-fog properties.
