Abstract: A joining system includes a holding fixture assembly configured to hold a fuselage skin. The stringers are temporarily attached to the fuselage skin. The joining system includes an upper beam assembly including an upper beam and a lower beam assembly. The lower beam assembly includes a lower beam and at least one lower heating element. The holding fixture assembly is coupled to the upper beam assembly. The holding fixture assembly is coupled to the lower beam assembly. The upper beam is movable relative to the lower beam to clamp the at least one of the plurality of stringers and the fuselage skin together prior to and during welding.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing metadata-based photo and/or video animation. For instance, multiple images (e.g., still images) of a scene may be combined into an image sequence. An image may be selected from the multiple images to represent the scene. Such an image may be referred to as a primary image. Metadata may be associated with the primary image. The metadata may include a reference to the image sequence.

Abstract: There is provided a computer implemented data driven classification and troubleshooting system and method. The system has an interface application enabled to receive data. The system has an associative memory software in communication with the interface application via an API. The associative memory software has an associative memory and a machine learning algorithm. The system has one or more individual areas, within the associative memory, requiring one or more troubleshooting actions to improve accuracy of the individual areas. The system has at least one troubleshooting tool enabled by the interface application. The at least one troubleshooting tool enables or performs the troubleshooting actions. The system has a quality rating metric (QRM) that measures a strength and an assurance that one or more predictions of the associative memory are correct. The one or more troubleshooting actions results in improving the accuracy and the performance of the associative memory.

Abstract: A composition for transdermal delivery of a progestin for progestin hormone therapy is disclosed. Also disclosed is a transdermal delivery device comprising the composition. For progestin-only hormone therapy, the composition contains an anti-oxidant and does not contain an estrogen. For therapy involving a progestin and an estrogen, the composition contains the progestin, the estrogen and an additional anti-oxidant. Methods of improving the stability of progestin-containing compositions comprising oxidative agents are also disclosed. The methods comprise including one or more anti-oxidants in the compositions.

Abstract: Compositions and devices for transdermal hormone delivery are disclosed. The compositions and devices include desogestrel and enable delivery of effective amounts of progestin without the use of skin permeation enhancers.

Abstract: Application launcher sizing techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a likely usage context is determined, by a computing device, of a user in interacting with the computing device. An application launcher is dynamically sized within a display area of the user interface by the computing device based on the determined likely usage context of the user. The application launcher is configured for output responsive to an input received from a user and includes a plurality of representations of applications that are selectable to navigate to a user interface corresponding with a respective said application.

Abstract: An exhaust flue cap and filter device for a gas fired appliance in communication with an exhaust flue opening. The device includes an inner collar to engage the exhaust flue opening. A tubular cap with a closed lower end is in communication with the inner collar. A filter tray is suspended in the tubular cap wherein the filter tray has a smaller diameter than the tubular cap so that a bypass space is formed between the filter tray and the tubular cap to permit passage of exhaust gases. A removable filter insert is receivable in the filter tray. A removable top having a body with exhaust openings is attached to and closes the open upper end of the tubular cap.

Abstract: A mobile electronic device that is configured to display travel-related information is disclosed. In one or more implementations, the electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display, the touch-sensitive display configured to receive one or more inputs, a memory operable to store one or more modules, and a processor communicatively coupled to the touch-sensitive display and to the memory. The processor is operable to execute the one or more modules to cause display of one or more graphical representations of travel-related data at the touch-sensitive display. The processor is also operable to cause display of a telephonic communication graphical interface and to cause a telephonic communication link to be established with a travel representative of a travel management company in response to an input received over the telephonic communication graphical interface.

Abstract: A system for analyzing a request for proposal. The system includes an associative memory including a plurality of data having a plurality of associations. The system also includes an input device in communication with the associative memory. The input device is configured to provide the request for proposal to the associative memory in a format understandable to the associative memory. The associative memory is configured to digest the request for proposal to be included within the plurality of data, wherein a digested request for proposal is formed. The system also includes an analyzer in communication with the associative memory. The associative memory is configured to analyze the digested request for proposal by receiving a query comprising one or more terms, creating relationships among the plurality of data in the associative memory based on the query, and returning an output that includes requirements or other attributes presented in the digested request for proposal based on the query.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for visually representing content in media sources. A plurality of vectors is created, by a computer system, for the media sources based on content in the media sources and a lexicon built for a selected subject. The plurality of vectors include elements that represent matches between base entities in the lexicon and extracted entities from the content in the media sources. A visual representation of the content in the media sources based on the plurality of vectors is displayed, by the computer system, through a graphical user interface that is configured to enable a user to navigate through the content. The visual representation of the content is transformed in real-time, by the computer system, based on user input such that changes to the visual representation of the content in the graphical user interface visually track the user navigating through the content.
