Abstract: Systems and methods described herein may reconfigure a virtual workspace displayed to a user based on monitored contextual information pertaining to the virtual workspace. The system may reconfigure the virtual workspace by determining, based on the contextual information, a set of probability values associated with configuration settings that affect the virtual workspace, comparing the probability values to activation and deactivation probability thresholds, and activating or deactivating configuration settings based on the comparisons between the probability values and probability thresholds. Configuration settings may control whether particular applications are opened and displayed on the virtual workspace. By reconfiguring the virtual workspace based on contextual information, the system may provide a seamlessly focused application interaction experience for a user from one contextual environment to the next on a single device.

The method may include segmenting the source data into one or more datasets within the working database based on one or more data patterns. The method may include transmitting each dataset to an associated consumption database within a sub-layer. The method may include receiving a request to query the associated consumption database. The method may include executing the query and returning a query result.

Abstract: A microfluidic assembly includes a microfluidic chip having first and second inlet/outlet ports, and a fluid pathway between the first and second inlet/outlet ports. A manifold supports the microfluidic chip. A fluid delivery assembly is coupled to the microfluidic chip by the manifold for delivering fluid to/from the microfluidic chip. The fluid delivery assembly includes a fluid lumen and a seal, and is movable between a closed configuration in which the seal is advanced to prevent fluid communication between the fluid lumen and the first inlet/outlet port, and an open configuration in which the seal is retracted to allow fluid communication between the fluid lumen and the first inlet/outlet port. A pump forces fluid flow between the fluid lumen and the first inlet/outlet port when the fluid delivery assembly is in the open configuration.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating intercom communication for one or more quick-service restaurant drive-throughs are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: capture sound from a customer placing an order; generate order information signals that represent the captured sound; encode signals to form order data packets; transmit the order data packets to a base station through a single pair of wires that is also used to provide power; decode information from the order data packets; and generate order sound based on the decoded information, such that the generated order sound is audible to a staff member of the quick service restaurant through a headset.

Abstract: A modular block has lad wye plates configured on opposing sides of the block that carry the load from an axle fastener to load fasteners coupled to the eye. This configuration of the load wye plates enables the other components, including contact surface components such as the sheave, sheave wheel, side plates and bushings to be made of lower weight materials, such as polymers thereby increase the load to weight ratio of the modular block. Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a preferred material for the contact components and high load capacities are realized with these polymeric components used in conjunction with the load wye plates. Also, the use of non-sparking polymeric or composite materials is required in some applications to prevent fire or combustion.

Abstract: A method for depth matching well log data associated with a subsurface includes receiving recorded well log data, dividing the recorded well log data into a primary log and a secondary log, wherein the primary log is related to a first measured parameter and the secondary log is related to a second measured parameter, which is different from the first measured parameter, calculating depth shifts for the primary log and performing depth matching of the primary log, based on the calculated depth shifts, to obtain a depth matched primary log, applying the same depth shifts to the second log, and generating a map of geological features of the subsurface based on the depth matched primary and secondary logs.
