Abstract: In some examples, a pallet connector includes a body defining a first connector on a first side of the body and one or more lateral structures extending from a second side of the body, wherein the one or more lateral structures are to prevent movement of the body relative to a structure on which the body is disposed, and wherein the first connector comprises a male connector, a female connector, or both a male connector and a female connector.

Abstract: A system for treating various medical conditions in humans includes a medical or therapeutic laser operating at wavelengths in the near infrared range of between 1250 nm-1267 nm, with a target wavelength of 1260 nm, at power levels between 2 Watts and 60 Watts, and for a period not to exceed 60 seconds per dose. The emitted laser light energizes, e.g., the stem cell niche or mitochondria of the human tissue to which it is applied, both directly and indirectly via activation of cell signaling intermediaries including but not limited to heat shock proteins, thereby stimulating cell activity to promote healing and reduce pain. In this specific wavelength range, water absorption of the laser light energy is plateaued which effectively acts as a conduit allowing the laser light energy to be transferred deeper into the tissue without causing thermal damage to the skin and tissue.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a tee shaped structure configured to receive water from a garden hose and an air conditioner condensate line, and configured to output the water to a drain line. The valve assembly further includes one or more valves disposed on the tee shaped structure. The valves are configured to regulate a flow of water to the drain line from the garden hose and/or the air conditioner condensate line.

Abstract: Systems are provided for generating, modifying and using SBOMs for facilitating risk assessment and threat mitigation for corresponding programs, and particularly for large programming builds. The creation and modification of the SBOMs includes processes for omitting declarations referenced in chunk SBOMs of program chunks incorporated into a final programming build associated with a build SBOM, but which are not actually utilized by the final programming build, as well as processes for adding new declarations for code segments that are not declared in the related chunk SBOMs, even though the code segments are utilized by the final programming build. Systems are also configured to use SBOMs in combination with configuration restriction records to assess and resolve threat events in a manner that can prevent unnecessary remedial actions for threat events that appear to be relevant to one or more files or dependencies incorporated into a program.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a fuel system. In one example, a fuel system includes a plurality of canisters with a fuel tank isolation valve (FTIV) configured to control a fluid coupling between each of the plurality of canisters and a fuel tank. The FTIV is actuated based on one or more of a fuel tank pressure and a load of each of the plurality of canisters.

Abstract: Various techniques for accelerating dynamic programming algorithms are provided. For example, a fused addition and comparison instruction, a three-operand comparison instruction, and a two-operand comparison instruction are used to accelerate a Needleman-Wunsch algorithm that determines an optimized global alignment of subsequences over two entire sequences. In another example, the fused addition and comparison instruction is used in an innermost loop of a Floyd-Warshall algorithm to reduce the number of instructions required to determine shortest paths between pairs of vertices in a graph. In another example, a two-way single instruction multiple data (SIMD) floating point variant of the three-operand comparison instruction is used to reduce the number of instructions required to determine the median of an array of floating point values.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to improved secure ticketing methods, APIs, and platforms that address duplicative fraudulent tickets and concurrently afford dynamic features that can offer restrictions and benefits to the secure tickets. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the secure ticketing methods, APIs and platforms are scalable, consistent, and efficient. Moreover, the secure ticketing methods, APIs, and platforms dynamically offer assignable immersive experiences upon ticket scanning, creating digital memorabilia and other real-world experiences. In certain embodiments the secure ticketing methods, APIs, and platforms afford a solution for addressing price inflation created by ticket purchasing bots.

Abstract: Disclosed are solutions for an installation facilitation system for installation of fixtures, such as windows or doors, within rough openings. The installation facilitation system includes a facilitator coupled to, or attachable to, a peripheral portion of a fixture, the facilitator including a connection element enabling a mechanical fastener to pass through the connection element to engage an attachment surface adjacent the fixture without insertion of the mechanical fastener through the fixture.

Abstract: A system for retracting a center console of an aircraft having a cockpit with an interior area includes the center console being positioned within the interior area of the cockpit and supporting one or more aircraft controls; a mechanism supporting the center console and to facilitate movement of the center console between an extended position and a retracted position; a control system for operating the mechanism to facilitate movement, the control system having at least one sensor for monitoring the interior space of the cockpit; the at least one sensor is to determine when a person is entering the cockpit; and the control system is to activate movement of the center console to the retracted position upon the sensor determining the person is entering the cockpit.
