Abstract: An example of a device (100) may include a valve body (108). The device may include a printing substance transfer window (122) through the valve body (108). The device (100) may include a printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) rotatable within the valve body (108) between a first orientation with an orifice of the printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) facing an internal face of the valve body (108) and a second orientation with the orifice (126) of the printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) facing the printing substance transfer window (122). The device (100) may include a dispensing-side gasket material (132) slideable against the internal face of the valve body (108) when rotating the printing substance dispensing nozzle (110) between the first orientation and the second orientation.

Abstract: A system for triggering based on analytics comprises a storage device and a processor. The storage device is configured to store customer adoption data. A processor is configured to receive the customer adoption data; determine an under-used product feature based at least in part on the customer adoption data, wherein the customer adoption data is stored in the storage device; and determine and set a trigger for training the under-used product feature based at least in part on the customer adoption data.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for separating waste. The waste separating system includes a compacting assembly, a liquid diverting assembly, and a controller configured to control aspects of the compacting assembly and the liquid diverting assembly. The waste separating system can divert waste liquid from a manufacturing assembly to a liquid diverting assembly, where a controller is configured to selectively control a flow of the waste liquid to a drain or to a storage tank.

Abstract: Method of providing and presenting content to a user is disclosed. A user may provide inputs such as categories, topics, key words; inputs as to quantity, quality, emphasis and/or inclusion; inputs as to order of presentation, geography or temporal characteristics. These inputs are used to create a presentation format. This format is populated with content using a systemic program and algorithms. The content comes from various sources. The sources are selected by a secondary party that is not the user. A user may interact with the presentation by skipping, saving, rewinding, indicating like or dislike or requesting more related content. User interactivity is recorded by the systemic program. The systemic program records what content has been presented to a specific user so that a subsequent presentation does not repeat content. One result of this method is a personalized news and information radio station.

Abstract: A spring-loaded clip for removably attaching a catheter hub to the skin of a patient. The clip includes first and second needle members pivotably connected on a common axis and closable with their respective arcuate needle elements interlocked within the skin of a patient. A bias spring urges the first and second needle elements into a preferred position, preferably the closed position. Each needle member includes a lever for use in opening and closing the clip and also includes a grasping element for capturing a catheter hub as the clip closes. Preferably, the needle elements are curved through about 120°, are sharpened to a point at a first end, and are joined to a pivot element at the opposite end. No separate conventional suturing of a catheter hub to a patient is required.

Abstract: An electronic token system includes a token receptacle, having a housing with a receiver channel, and a token for insertion in the receiver channel on an insertion path defined by one or more receiver-channel guide surfaces. The token includes a data exchange circuit and a plurality of electrical contacts in a planar array exposed on a contact surface of the token in electrical coupling with the data exchange circuit. A plurality of spring-loaded probe contacts are mounted in the token receptacle, the probe contacts each having a plunger movable by spring action in a direction generally orthogonal to the planar array of electrical contacts on an inserted token and having a contact tip for receipt at a corresponding one of the electrical contacts in the planar array. A stop is provided on the token for contacting a travel limiter on the token receptacle, the stop and travel limiter being configured to define full insertion of the token into the receiver channel.

Abstract: The present invention is a knitted cloth mitten for the hand(s) preferably comprised of nylon, polyester and Lycra that is closed on one end and open on the opposite end. The open end has a knitted collar around the mitten with a small cut or opening to allow for insertion of a releasable cable tie. A piece of plastic is adhered to the palm portion of the mitten, from the fingertips to the middle of the palm, to make the palm area rigid. A releasable cable tie is threaded through the collar and around the open part of the mitten. After an individual's hands are restrained using properly placed and properly secured handcuffs, the present invention will be slid over an individual's hands with the rigid (plastic) side of the mitten to the palm side of the hand. The mitten will be extended to stop just below the handcuffs. The releasable cable tie is then pulled taught around the wearer's wrist, so as to not allow removal by the wearer.

Abstract: A tampon applicator having an outer member adapted to house a tampon and receive an inner member. The inner member has a first end and a second end. The first end is spaced a first distance from a first longitudinal protrusion. The second end is spaced a second distance from a second longitudinal protrusion.

Abstract: The present invention provides the ability to replicate modifications made at a local site to multiple remote sites in a peer-to-peer environment. Information regarding these replicated modifications (e.g., insert, delete, or update) are contained in a set of replication tables. Thus, modifications can be duplicated at other sites immediately after the original modification, or deferred until the remote site is available. The replication tables of the present invention include a transactions table, transaction nodes table, calls table, call nodes table, and an exceptions table. The present invention further provides a logic-oriented procedure-level replication. Procedure-level replication modifies a remote site based on the logical operations used to modify the data at the originating site. Procedure-level replication provides the ability to identify conflicting updates as well. Information concerning conflicts identified by the present invention can be retained in the replication tables.
