Abstract: Solid-state lighting devices, and more particularly, wire grid polarization structure for current spreading and polarization control for light emitting diode (LED) package, and a method for making the same are disclosed. The wire grid polarization structure can be configured to both polarize light emitted by an LED chip of the LED package as well as spread current on a layer of the LED chip, resulting in more even light emission across the LED chip. The wire grid polarization structure can be formed on a top surface of the LED chip, and be electrically coupled to an electrode to spread the current across the top surface of the LED chip. In an embodiment, the wire grid polarization structure can include interdigitated fingers that are coupled to both an anode and an electrode.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for generating and modifying a workflow comprising a series of webpages based on an online document. A document management system accesses an online document selected by a user and classifies each field of the online document into one of a set of categories. For each category, the system generates a form webpage comprising questions corresponding to each field classified as the category and combines the generated webpages to create a workflow. The system may modify the workflow by generating and adding one or more additional form webpages based on one or more answers provided by an entity completing the webform page. In response to the entity completing the modified generated workflow, the system generates a completed document based on the online document and the answers provided by the entity.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of imparting or increasing resistance against fungal pathogens, in particular soy-beanrust, in plants, plant parts, and/or plant cells. This is achieved by increasing the content of scopoletin, scopolin and/or, most preferably, scoparone (6,7-di-methoxycoumarin) in a plant, plant part and/or plant cell. This can in particular be achieved by establishing and/or increasing the expression of an OMT3 enzyme and an F6H1 protein in the respective plant, plant part and/or plant cell; a further way would be to apply a formulation or solution containing scopoletin and/or, most preferably, scoparone to the plant, plant part and/or plant cell. The invention correspondingly also provides proteins, enzymes, expression constructs, plants, plant parts and/or plant cells. In this respect the invention also provides variants of the OMT3 enzyme.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for determining compliance with a plurality of restrictions associated with one or more devices in an organization. First text indicating restrictions may be received, and second text indicating a current configuration of one or more devices may be received. Both sets of text may be processed by, e.g., removing a portion of the text based on a predetermined list of terms and simplifying the text using a lemmatization algorithm. A first vector and second vector may be generated based on the processed sets of text, and each vector may be weighted based on an inverse frequency of words in their respective text. Each vector may be normalized based on semantic analysis. The two vectors may be compared. Based on the comparison, third text corresponding to a portion of the second vector may be generated and transmitted to a third computing device.

Abstract: A machine for comminuting laminated glass members, such as automotive windshields and architectural glass, comprises infeed rollers feeding the member over a breaker bar, where an impactor assembly breaks the glass into small fragments and the plastic disposed between layers of the glass member into larger fragments, so that a size-based separation may be employed. The speed of the infeed rollers is controlled responsive to the thickness of the glass member.

A tensioning mechanism is incorporated in the trigger translation subassembly to simulate the feel of trigger resistance that is found in a physical handgun. By mating commercially available VR controllers with realistic handgun grips and triggers, users of the handgun simulation assembly are provided with a more realistic handgun experience when in a VR environment.

Abstract: A handgun simulation assembly that mates a virtual reality (VR) controller having a trigger finger button with a handgun grip and trigger in order to better simulate the feel of a typical handgun for a VR environment. The handgun simulation assembly includes a handgun body with a mating cradle that is designed to receive and hold a VR controller. The mating cradle has an engaged position where the VR controller is affixed to the handgun body and an unengaged position where the VR controller is released. When the mating cradle is in the engaged position, the VR controller can be oriented such that the trigger finger button is positioned downward, and the control pad is positioned rearward and facing the user. The mating cradle allows various subassemblies to access the buttons on the VR controller to provide a more realistic handgun experience when in a VR environment.

Abstract: A handgun simulation assembly that mates a virtual reality (VR) controller having a trigger finger button with a handgun grip and trigger in order to better simulate the feel of a typical handgun for a VR environment. The handgun simulation assembly includes a handgun body with a magazine release subassembly for transferring the depression of a magazine release button on the handgun grip to a translational action to depress the side button of the VR controller. Depressing the magazine release button can also cause a magazine weight suspended inside the handgun grip to at least partially drop downward in the handgun grip to simulate an actual magazine drop. By mating commercially available VR controllers with realistic handgun grips and triggers, users of the handgun simulation assembly are provided with a more realistic handgun experience when in a VR environment.
