Abstract: A cable management apparatus of an electric vehicle charging station for managing an electric vehicle charging cable is described. The cable management apparatus comprises a housing and a swing arm. The housing houses a hub connected to a swing arm housing to allow the swing arm housing to rotate about the hub from a starting position to an ending position. The housing further houses a damper, where a first end is attached to the housing of the cable management apparatus and a second end is attached to the swing arm housing to manage retraction of the swing arm housing. The housing further houses a first rotation stop element to prevent the swing arm housing from rotating beyond the ending position. The cable management apparatus further comprises the swing arm housing connected to the housing of the cable management apparatus by the hub and the second end of the damper.

Abstract: An electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) includes a thermal management system that includes a dual-sided heatsink that includes a first side that faces internal ambient air of the EVSE and a second side that faces external ambient air. A first fan circulates the internal ambient air of the EVSE across the first side to reject heat from the internal ambient air into the first side. A first airflow guide guides the internal ambient air across the first side of the dual-sided heatsink. A second fan draws external ambient air that flows across the second side to reject heat from the second side out of the thermal management system. A second airflow guide guides the external ambient air across the second side. An airflow seal prevents the external ambient air and the internal ambient air from mixing.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and techniques for facilitating proactive recruitment are disclosed, comprising: receiving a user annotation of a candidate profile stored in a database, the user annotation provided by a user; based on at least the received user annotation, determining a sentiment of the user with respect to a candidate associated with the candidate profile; and when the sentiment of the user is determined to be positive, scheduling a notification to be sent to the user in response to a trigger event.

Abstract: The scalable high-level fusion of structured and unstructured data includes ingesting and processing unstructured data to produce a statistical model stored as extracted entities then mapped to a collection of resource description framework (RDF) triples, and applying a semantic analysis to a set of structured data to produce a logical model stored as a collection of triples. Reasoners are applied to both models generating an extended knowledge graph of both base and inferred knowledge that is decomposed into a wide table database, with each row storing a corresponding triple, and a reasoner converting the RDF triples into associated triples by adding a new column to the database in response to detecting a new predicate for a subject already present in one of the rows of the database so that the new predicate is stored in the new column in a new row created for the subject already present.

Abstract: A spherical camera is disclosed. The camera includes an imaging unit. A base of the camera includes a track. A spherical housing includes a first housing part for containing the imaging unit. A second housing part includes a dove tail shaped to be slidably received within the track of the base. A loop is positionable around a periphery surface of the base, the loop being tightenable from a first position wherein the spherical housing is tiltable along the track to a second position wherein the spherical housing is locked in position.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide for a method, system and computer program product for fast heterogeneous multi-data source search and analytics. In an embodiment of the invention, a method includes receiving a specification of multiple different data sources in a search and analytics engine, establishing communicative links between the engine and the data sources, and identifying a data source type and corresponding data fields storing respective data for each data source. The method further includes specifying a multi-hop graph traversal query implicating data across the different data sources, decomposing the query into constituent components and mapping each of the constituent components to each of the data sources based upon the corresponding data fields. The method even further includes formulating a specific query for each of the data sources, transmitting each query to each data source and populating in a knowledge graph each result set received for each query.

Abstract: There is described a multi-headed camera comprising a camera base, multiple camera heads coupled to the camera base, each camera head comprising a camera lens defining an observation angle, each camera head being configured to pivot such that the observation angle may vary between a minimum observation angle and a maximum observation angle, and a protective shield attached to the camera base, extending over the camera heads and shaped such that for each camera head a distance between the shield and the camera head varies as a function of the observation angle. Attached to each camera head is a resiliently deformable and flared gasket positioned around the camera lens and extending toward the shield. The gasket is configured such that, for any observation angle between the minimum and maximum observation angles, the gasket contacts the shield about a closed light seal path for preventing light from passing between the shield and the gasket, and reaching the camera lens.

Abstract: An adaptor for installing a camera or lighting fixture includes a housing. The housing includes a wall that define a slot that extends vertically between top and bottom ends of the slot. A spring steel strip is adapted to be received in the slot. The spring steel strip includes first and second sections separated by a sharp bend. A distal end of the first section is adapted to be brought into a first position in the slot. A distal end of the second section has a catch clip thereon adapted to be brought into a second position in the slot which is higher than the first position. The catch clip includes at least two resilient fingers adapted to permit the catch clip to be fitted into the slot when the two resilient fingers are laterally compressed towards each other, and then keep the distal end of the second section connected to the housing once the fingers are released.

Abstract: This invention is a novel document preparation system in which a user is capable of viewing various permutations of a predefined portion of text. With this invention the display of variations in text is performed automatically. This provides a technique by which the developer can more quickly audit the results of his work and on the user's side it permits the user to rapidly see a wide variety of different transactions which is of enormous use to a young associate learning a particular practice area. In one embodiment, the user is provided with a subset of the total number of permutations of a particular portion of text. Various techniques are used to provide only "meaningful" variations of the text, thereby avoiding the need for the user to view what might be an extremely large number of permutations, many of which are of no real import based upon the task at hand.

Abstract: An embossed article such as a plastic bowl is injection molded between the molding surfaces of an unidirectional mold. The outer molding surface is inclined outwardly from bottom to top and is provided with an engraved area in which the boss is formed. The undercut upper edge of the engraved area is slanted in a manner to provide an inclined lead in surface on the boss. The undercut of the lead in surface is slight enough that the boss is able to release from the engraved area without damage as the mold opens in unidirectional fashion for removal of the molded article.

Abstract: For a flower pot having a plurality of radially spaced holes in the bottom thereof, an interlocking saucer having a plurality of radially spaced fastener studs projecting from the bottom thereof. The fastener studs define a pot supporting plane located at least 0.1 inch (2.5mm) above the bottom of the saucer and include angled arms having a pot retaining side inclined at a greater angle than the opposite side of the arm. The fastener studs interlockingly fit with the corresponding holes of the flower pot to removably interconnect the saucer thereto.
