Abstract: A method of forming an insulated composite fabric including attaching an insulating-filler fabric layer to an outer fabric layer, where the insulating-filler fabric layer is a textile fabric with at least one raised surface on the fabric. One side of the insulating-filler layer has a first surface with relatively high pile, including regions of no pile or relatively low pile interspersed among regions of relatively high pile and the other side of the insulating-filler layer has a second surface with relatively high pile, including regions of no pile or relatively low pile interspersed among regions of relatively high pile. The method further contains coupling at least one of a fleece and velour that is respectively lower than the relatively high pile of the first surface or the relatively high pile of the second surface to at least one of the first surface and the second surface.

Abstract: A system for authenticating a medical device is described. The system receives a request from a medical device to access operations or data of an external service provider. The system determines whether the request received from the medical device is valid. When the request is valid, the system generates a token that is customized based on the external service provider identified in the request, and the system transfers the token to medical device, the token enabling the medical device to access the operations or data of the external service provider.

Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, a mobile apparatus for identifying items. For instance, the mobile apparatus may include a frame, a basket that attaches to the frame, a tray that attaches to the frame, and a user-facing module that attaches to the frame. Weight sensors may be located beneath the basket and the tray in order to determine the weights of items added to the mobile apparatus. The user-facing module may include imaging devices, such as cameras, that the mobile apparatus uses to perform one or more functions. For example, the mobile apparatus may use the imaging devices to identify items placed within the basket, determine locations of the mobile apparatus within a facility, and/or the like. By including these components, the mobile apparatus is able to generate data that represents the items added to the mobile apparatus, the weights of the items, and the costs of the items.

Abstract: A blade for a turbine engine with a wall separating a cooling fluid flow and a hot gas fluid flow and having a heated surface along which the hot gas fluid flow flows and a cooled surface facing the cooling fluid flow. A plurality of cooling holes each having a passage extending between an inlet at the cooled surface and an outlet at the heated surface. The outlet extending between an upstream end and a downstream end with respect to the hot gas fluid flow to define a distance, the passage defining a centerline forming a first angle (?) with the heated surface.

Abstract: A method for developing a containerized application using a pipeline platform consisting of a plurality of stages with associated development tools, the method comprising the steps of: receiving application parameters and a check-in code for the containerized application; generating a configuration file based on the application parameters, the configuration file containing configuration content including insert code; embedding the insert code into the check-in code; dynamically provisioning an opinionated pipeline based on contents of the configuration file, the opinionated pipeline including the plurality of stages with the associated development tools; setting up one or more control gates in one or more of the plurality of stages; receiving customized code for the containerized application, the customized code representing modifications of the insert code; and packaging the containerized application to include code contents of the check-in code, the customized code, and the insert code; wherein the containe

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a protein purification system and methods of making such a system. Specifically, the invention relates to a method of immobilizing an N-terminal intein segment to a solid support, the method comprising: exposing an N-terminal intein segment to a cognate folding partner under conditions that promote association between the N-terminal intein and the cognate folding partner; immobilizing the N-terminal intein to a solid support; subjecting the N-terminal intein to conditions that disrupt association between the N-terminal intein and the cognate folding partner; and washing the solid support to remove non-bound material, thereby immobilizing an N-terminal intein segment to a solid support.

Abstract: Content maintained in a first repository of a first installation (which can optionally be an on-premise installation) of a content management system, as well as metadata associated with the content, can be shared via an approach in which content items maintained in the first repository are synchronized with a copy of the content items maintained in a second repository of a second installation (which can optionally be a cloud-based installation). The first installation can be optionally firewall protected. The copy of the content items can be accessed by collaborative users both within and external to a firewall. Related systems, methods, products, etc. are described.

Abstract: An improved method for telecommunication analysis and monitoring employing a logic analyzer device. The logic analyzer device provides a plurality of concurrent graphic depictions of different electronic signals under differing electronic protocols for signal error determination on a communications channel. Error source determination is enabled through the provided concurrent depiction of digital and analog signal characteristics in the differing protocols, including digital data packets, signal voltages and timing. Through this concurrent depiction the user can visually discern potential causation for electronic communication errors caused by non-continuous signal anomalies affecting one or more of the protocols.

Abstract: An insertable interface component employing a binary load into volatile memory or field-programmable gate array (FPGA) configured for testing input and output operations of an electronic component. The interface component allows testing while preventing firmware hacking and alteration by segregating classified data and communications during equipment testing.

Abstract: This document presents a system and method for defining and controlling lights, audio systems, and any other home automation device by connection with an exterior network access port. The exterior network access is accomplished by pairing all network capable devices with a known intermediate network maintained by a master control unit. After association with the known intermediate network, the exterior network SSID and passkey are provided to the master control unit and then transmitted to each network capable device. The network capable devices connect to the exterior network by replacing the intermediate SSID and passkey information with the exterior network information.

Communications characteristics required for communicating with each identified component are discerned using the component identity ascertained from the digital image.

Abstract: A method for processing microscopy images captures, for each of a first microscopy slide and a second microscopy slide, a plurality of partial spectrum images under multiple optical configurations where each image captures a different portion of the spectrum of the slide. First and second partial spectrum images associated with different optical configuration are selected and used to reconstruct respectively a combined spectrum image of part of the first microscopy slide and a combined spectrum image of at least part of the second microscopy slide, thereby forming a first pair of partial spectrum images. The method determines a distortion map by aligning images derived from the first pair of the partial spectrum images.
