Abstract: A panel which may be used as a part of a surface covering system, such as that for a wall or a ceiling, and which is useful to provide easy installation, durability, beneficial fire preventive performance, resistance to mold growth, and resistance to moisture. The panels may have a first major surface, a second major surface opposite the first major surface, and a side surface extending between the first and second major surfaces. The panel may be formed from polyvinyl chloride present in an amount from about 45 to about 70 wt. %; carbonate present in an amount from about 10 to about 31 wt. %; stearate present in an amount from about 1 to about 6 wt. %; and aluminum hydroxide present in an amount from about 10 to about 30 wt. %.

Abstract: An adaptor includes a body defining a longitudinal axis, and a transverse axis that is normal to the longitudinal axis. The body also has a leading portion defining a lock receiving recess extending transversely at least partially through the leading portion. The leading portion defines at least one linear portion in the lock receiving recess that is configured to engage the power locking device.

Abstract: The technology presented herein enables the use of a clustering algorithm to identify additional malicious domains based on known malicious domains. A domain identifier system identifies a first plurality of domain names associated with a malicious domain campaign and seeding a first clustering algorithm with the first plurality of domain names. After seeding the first clustering algorithm, the domain identifier system uses the first clustering algorithm to process passive domain name system (DNS) records to identify and group a second plurality of domain names associated with the malicious domain campaign.

Abstract: Adding new nodes to a graph diagram. A set of one or more new nodes is identified from a graph to be added to an existing graph diagram. A set of one or more anchor candidate nodes are identified in the graph that are coupled to the nodes in the set of one or more new nodes. One of the nodes in the set of one or more anchor candidate nodes is selected as an anchor node. An automatic graph diagram layout of the anchor node and new nodes that are to be coupled to the anchor node is performed to create a disjoint graph diagram. A spatial offset from the anchor node to each of the new nodes coupled to the anchor node in the disjoint graph diagram is identified. Each of the new nodes is added to the existing graph diagram while maintaining the identified spatial offsets.

Abstract: Adding a new disjoint graph diagram to an existing graph diagram. A set of one or more new nodes from a graph to be added to a first graph diagram are identified. An automatic graph diagram layout of the set of one or more new nodes is performed creating a second graph diagram. The first graph diagram is aligned along a first axis with the second graph diagram Nodes in the first graph diagram that are at least partially between a first point and a second point of boundaries of the second graph diagram are identified. A boundary is created around the nodes in the first graph diagram that are between the first and second points. The second graph diagram is moved along a second axis toward the boundary to create a combined graph diagram.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method for a organizing a robotic storage system. The robotic storage system includes a plurality of storage locations of varying priority and varying distance to a data read/write device. The robot storage system further includes a plurality of portable data storage elements each having at least three fields, a load field, a read/write field and a user determined field. A temporary storage location within the robotic storage system for each data storage element is determined at least in part by evaluating the data storage element's load field, read/write field and user determined fields to determine a heat value and correlating the heat value to the storage locations. An associated method of use is also disclosed.

Abstract: An artificial pitching mound. The artificial pitching mound includes an artificial pitching rubber and artificial pitching stride component fillable with microbeads or pellets. The artificial pitching mound reduces repetitive movement injuries for baseball and softball pitchers. The artificial pitching mound also allows positive muscle memory development with a surface that duplicates the feel of natural turf during practice session and allows the athlete's muscles to react the same on both the artificial surface and natural turf.

Abstract: A system and method of administrating instructions to a recipient of medical treatment are provided herein. For the method, a computer and an interface connected thereto are provided. Instructions are communicated to the recipient after medical treatment. At least one question is communicated to the recipient after communicating the instructions. An answer to the at least one question is inputted into the computer through the interface. The answer is compared to an acceptable answer stored in the computer. Feedback is provided to the recipient from the computer after comparing the answer to acceptable answer. The system includes the computer and interface connected thereto. The computer is programmed to perform the method steps. The system and method provided herein address the shortcomings of current practices regarding administration of instructions to recipients of medical treatment and may assist in minimizing readmittance due to failure of such recipients to follow discharge instructions.

Abstract: A layered, artificial surface including plural components filled with microbeads of pre-selected sizes, shapes and depths. The microbeads of the pre-selected sizes and shapes and depths provide plural different types of resistance and firmness for the artificial surface. Pre-determined chemical compounds are applied to the microbeads to change a surface charge on the microbeads, or produced with a desired surface charge to provide different interactions and thus different types of resistance and firmness for the artificial surface. The artificial surface does not require the application of a vacuum to maintain a shape or resistance.

Abstract: If a concrete slab is poured with a very smooth upper surface and coated with a grease of low viscosity, it can serve as the base of a thick reinforced concrete slab, which if made an integral part of a building built above it, will protect that building against sideways forces that are the main source of destruction during an earthquake.
