Abstract: Furniture is formed from a lie surface divided into two sections and placed on a stationary frame elevated over standing surface by its supports. The frame is tilted to the ground by lengths of its supports. The upper section is attached to the frame by adjustment bolts that change elevation of the section in relation to lower section. The lower section is attached to the frame by guiding devices that let the section to move on the frame in linear and lateral directions. Heights's adjustment of upper section let the user to fit the shape of the lying surface to the shape of lumbar section of his body. User seats on lower, movable section of lying surface and rests his head and torso above waist on upper stationary section. Free movement of lower section let the lumbar part of his body to naturally decompress.

Abstract: A system and method are capable of ensuring that one or more text strings will be able to be fully rendered in a target area of a user interface or a target area of a graphics file. The system and method determine the number of pixels of first and second reference text that fit in the target area in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, respectively, determine the number of pixels of string text in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, and compare the number of pixels in the horizontal direction of the first reference text and the vertical direction of the second reference text respectively to the number of pixels in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the text string that is desired to be rendered in the target area to determine whether the text string will fit in the target area.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for utilizing directed acyclic graphs for deployment instructions. A computer-implemented method can include various operations. Instructions may be executed by a computing device to perform parses of configuration data associated with a deployment. The computing device may cause a first directed acyclic graph (DAG) to be generated, the first DAG being utilized for deploying a first resource based on the parses. A second DAG may be generated for deploying execution targets based on the parses, the second DAG specifying dependencies between execution targets of the deployment. The computing device may generate a linked list data structure based on the parses and may deploy the computing system by traversal of the linked list data structure.

Additionally, in some aspects, the base plate of the seating unit may have an adjustment feature that limits recline of the seating unit, to accommodate theater seating with different riser dimensions, and/or legs with an adjustment feature to level the seating unit on existing theater floors.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for monitoring a location of a client device associated with a transportation service and generating augmented reality images for display on the client device. The systems and methods use sensor data from the client device and a device localization process to monitor the location of the client device by comparing renderings of images captured by the client device to renderings of the vicinity of the pickup location. The systems and methods determine navigation instructions from the user's current location to the pickup location and select one or more augmented reality elements associated with the navigation instructions and/or landmarks along the route to the pickup location. The systems and methods instruct the client device to overlay the selected augmented reality elements on a video feed of the client device.

Abstract: A simplified, compact, recliner mechanism is provided which can be adapted to many types of recliner design. A front linkage assembly and a rear linkage assembly provide the desired movement of the seat and back when moving from the TV position to the fully reclined position, obviating the need for a track and roller design. Moreover, a front pivot link and a rear pivot link are provided and oriented in a manner that allows the desired forward seat movement as the recliner moves from the closed position to the TV position. The geometries of the front linkage assembly, the rear linkage assembly, the front pivot link and the rear pivot link allow a slim profile design allowing great flexibility in the design of the recliner.

A service entity that provides a multi-modal transportation service can collaborate with a number of different devices via a vehicle integration interface over a number of different frequencies or networks. The vehicle integration interface includes a number of endpoints. Each endpoint corresponds to a device type associated with a number of devices operated according to a unique protocol. The service entity obtains a communication or provides a message to a respective device via a respective endpoint of the vehicle integration interface. The service entity determines a device type associated with a received communication based on a respective endpoint and translates the communication based on the device type. The translated communication is aggregated with information received from a number of different devices configured to operate and communicate according to a number of different protocols.
