Abstract: A system includes a turbine casing assembly that includes an outer shell and an inner shell positioned substantially concentrically within the outer shell. The inner shell includes an inner surface facing away from the outer shell and an outer surface facing toward the outer shell, and the outer surface has one or more false flanges. At least one of the one or more false flanges includes a first surface protruding from the outer surface and facing the outer shell, and a flow diverting portion extending between the first surface and the outer surface of the inner shell. The flow diverting portion includes a first portion that diverges in a first circumferential direction between the first surface and the outer surface.

Abstract: A cloud-based file system receives a subscription request associated with a networked device and identifying a set of one or more resources of the cloud-based file system and a set of one or more resource modifications. The cloud-based file system determines whether the networked device is authorized to access the resource, and, if so, records a subscription based on the subscription request. In response to a user, an application, or other suitable entity making a modification in the set of modifications to a resource in the set of resources, the cloud-based file system generates a notification to the networked device and to other networked devices with subscriptions that include the modification to the resource. The notification may identify the subscription with which the notification is associated, provide information identifying the modification, or provide other suitable information.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for identifying an application for opening a file. A first user input indicative of a file selected by a user is received over a user interface. The selected file has an input file type and is an attachment to an email. Data indicative of the input file type is transmitted over a communications network. A reference list of applications is obtained by combining association requests from application developers to associate respective applications with one or more file types, and a matched list is obtained by removing applications from the reference list, each of the removed applications being associated with a set of one or more file types that each mismatch the input file type. The matched list is displayed over the user interface, which receives a second user input indicative of a selected application from the matched list.

Abstract: A crossfire tube assembly between adjacent combustors includes a first sleeve adapted to provide fluid communication from a first combustor and a second sleeve adapted to connect to provide fluid communication from a second combustor. The second sleeve extends at least partially inside the first sleeve. A bias is between the first and second sleeves.

Abstract: Electronic devices may be provided with backlight structures that provide backlight illumination for a display. The backlight structures include a light source such as an array of light-emitting diodes that launches light into an edge of a light guide plate. The light guide plate distributes the light laterally across display layers in the display. One or more optical films such as brightness enhancement films and diffuser layers are interposed between the display layers and the light guide plate. The light guide plate includes light guide plate alignment features that mate with corresponding optical film alignment features in the optical films. The light guide plate alignment features may be protrusions that extend into openings such as notches or holes in the optical films. The light guide plate may have a protruding portion that extends around a periphery of the light guide plate and surrounds a perimeter of the optical films.

Abstract: A cloud storage system provides remote access to a file associated with the cloud storage system. In response to a request to access the file, the cloud storage system identifies applications available to the request generator and capable of accessing the file, which may include both online web-based applications and applications installed on a device with which the user is accessing the file. The cloud storage system determines an application type of an identified application, and provides file access to the identified application based on the application type.

Abstract: Methods and systems provide embeddable user interface widgets to third-party applications so that the widgets can be securely embedded in, and securely used from within, the third-party applications. An embeddable widget may be authorized to access a first-party cloud storage system from a third-party application based on the cloud storage system authenticating a request received from the widget. The authentication may be based on an application identifier, an origin identifier, and/or one or more document identifiers received from the third-party application through the embedded widget. The disclosed methods and systems may significantly mitigate security concerns caused by embedding software in third-party sites, such as clickjacking.

Abstract: Improved user interfaces and methods are provided for presenting item recommendations to a user when the user selects an item to add to a shopping cart. In response to the user's selection, a page generation process generates and returns a page that includes a plurality of recommendations sections, each of which displays item recommendations generated using a different respective recommendation or selection algorithm (e.g., recommendations based on shopping cart contents, recommendations based on purchase history, etc.). These recommendation algorithms may be selected based on collected information regarding the user. The page may also include a shopping cart section which displays contents of the shopping cart.

Abstract: Improved user interfaces and methods are provided for presenting item recommendations to a user when the user selects an item to add to an electronic shopping cart. In response to the user's selection, a page generation process generates and returns a page that includes a condensed shopping cart portion and a recommendations portion. The condensed shopping cart portion displays the contents of the shopping cart, but omits some of the item information and/or controls provided on a shopping cart page, thereby preserving more screen real estate for the display of item recommendations. The condensed shopping cart portion also includes a link to the shopping cart page.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a module and process for automatically attaching a junction box to a composite solar cell structure during the fabrication of a completed solar cell device. The electrical connection module further provides a thermode assembly including heating elements for forming a soldered connection between the junction box and the composite solar cell structure and a temperature sensing device in thermal communication with the heating elements for detecting a temperature profile during the connection process. The heating elements and temperature sensing device are linked to a controller configured to monitor and compare the energy input into the heating elements with the temperature near the tip of the heating elements throughout the connection process. The controller is further configured to compare the actual energy versus temperature profile to an expected profile throughout the connection process and verify whether a quality bond is achieved.

Abstract: A system and methods for dynamically generating electronic documents, such as web pages or XML documents, provides increased program parallelism and reduced document generation times. In one embodiment, two separate threads are used: a first thread that processes a document template, and a second thread that handles requests for data. Also disclosed are methods for selectively combining particular data requests for transmission on a network.

Abstract: A computer-implemented recommendation service uses item-to-item relationship mappings to select items to recommend to the user. The item-to-item relationship mappings may reflect user-behavior-based (e.g., purchase-based) item relationships, content-based item relationships, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, personalized recommendations are generated for a user by a process that comprises retrieving from the mapping, for each of a plurality of items of interest to the user, a respective related items list; weighting the related items lists based on information regarding the user's affinity for the corresponding items of interest; combining the weighted related items lists to form a pool of scored items, and selecting items from the pool to recommend to the user.
