Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a knit structure used to form a knit article where the knit structure can be adjusted to provide zoned cushioning, zoned insulation, zoned fit, zoned permeability/breathability features, and/or zoned tactile feedback features. The knit structure has a repeating pattern of a first number of knit courses having a first yarn knit with a first basic knit stitch and a second number of knit courses, where within each knit course of the second number of knit courses, the first yarn is knit in a repeating pattern having a first number of knit stitches knit with a second basic knit stitch and a second number of float stitches knit with a float stitch to form float areas.

Abstract: A exercise device includes: a u-shaped frame; first and second arms pivotally coupled to ends of the frame; a first pair of bands that resist pivotal movement between the u-shaped frame and each of the first and second arms; and an arm bar. The arm bar is releasably coupled proximate to the free end of each of the first and second arms. As configured the device is usable for a first set of exercises. A first end of each of a second pair of resistance bands is respectively secured in proximity to first and second ends of the arm bar. The second ends of the second pair of resistance bands have loops fixedly secured thereto. When the arm bar is not releasably secured to the first and second arms, it is usable in combination with those bands and loops for a second set of exercises, providing a full body workout.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for system safety analysis evaluation is provided, the apparatus including processing circuitry configured for generating a calculation matrix for a system, generating a plurality of models based on the calculation matrix, performing a benchmarking or convolution analysis of the plurality of models, identifying a design envelope based on the benchmarking or convolution analysis, deriving uncertainty models from the benchmarking or convolution analysis, deriving an assessment judgment based on the uncertainty models and acceptance criteria, defining one or more limiting scenarios based on the design envelope, and determining a safety margin in at least one figure-of-merit for the system based on the design envelope and the acceptance criteria.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for notification interaction in a touchscreen user interface. The method includes: monitoring a user interaction with a current application via the touchscreen user interface; recognizing that a notification is being prepared to be displayed as a notification display on top of the current application; selecting a distinct user interaction for input to the notification display that is distinct from the monitored user interaction with the current application; and displaying an instruction for the distinct user interaction with the notification display.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to an apparel item having an integrated lighting system and method of forming the apparel item having the integrated lighting system. The integrated lighting system comprises a power supply unit affixed to the apparel item, one or more light arrays having visible light sources affixed to the apparel item, and one or more conductive traces affixed to the apparel item, where the conductive traces extend from the power supply unit to the light arrays and electrically couple the two such that the light arrays are powered when the power supply unit is operating.

Abstract: A garment, such as a sports uniform, may provide visibility zones and/or flicker zones to enhance the ability of teammates to perceive the wearer. Different zones on a garment may have different sets of visual properties that may contrast with one another and/or a visual background. A denier differential between layers of a garment may facilitate moisture transport across the layers of the garment. Flicker zones may be discrete from or combined with visibility zones. One or more zones of a garment may also be substantially non-reflective at wavelengths associated with the visual background encountered while wearing the garment.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a computer implemented method for manipulating a numerical model of a 3D domain, said numerical model comprising geometrical entities such as layers, fractures, discontinuities, facies, etc., being identified as geometrical entities because they can be defined by its shape. The resulting data storage block is very large. The management of such large data bases or data storage block may be unaffordable as simple operations over one or more geometrical entities require the processing of the entire data base. The method provides an efficient management of the data base by a set of specific lists of indexing keys increasing the speed of access, for instance for writing and reading operations, for one or more determined geometrical entities.

Abstract: Aspects herein are directed to a sock having a first knitted strap extending from a lateral aspect of a collar of the sock, and a second knitted strap extending from a medial aspect of the collar of the sock. Each of the first knitted strap and the second knitted strap is knit with a plurality of courses extending from a first longitudinal edge to a second longitudinal edge of the respective knitted strap where at least a portion of the courses are formed using an elastomeric yarn. Use of an elastomeric yarn extending widthwise across each knitted strap causes the longitudinal edges of the knitted strap to curl toward a respective longitudinal midline along the technical back of the knitted strap which, in turn produces a tubular-like shape for each of the first knitted strap and second knitted strap.

Abstract: Method and system are provided for notification interaction in a touchscreen user interface. The method includes: monitoring a user interaction with a current application via the touchscreen user interface; recognizing that a notification is being prepared to be displayed as a notification display on top of the current application; selecting a distinct user interaction for input to the notification display that is distinct from the monitored user interaction with the current application; and displaying an instruction for the distinct user interaction with the notification display.

Abstract: A system for classifying an origin of genomic sequence data may include a training database comprising sample data including first samples corresponding to sequences of natural origin and second samples corresponding to sequences of synthetic origin, and a classifier comprising a genomic classification module. The genomic classification module may be trained via machine learning on the first and second samples. The genomic classification module may be configured to receive genomic sequence data of any read length and determine a classification output indicating whether the genomic sequence data has a natural origin or synthetic origin.

Abstract: Dynamically displaying media files at a fuel dispenser based on customer input. First, receiving a customer input including data identifying a customer and an indication of initiating a fuel transaction at a fuel dispenser. The data identifying the customer is then sent to an evaluation system. The evaluation system is associated with a database containing data related to multiple customers and configured to evaluate the customer data to generate customer evaluation data. When it is determined that a set of data related to the customer is contained in the database, the evaluation system is caused to retrieve a set of customer evaluation data related to the customer. The retrieved customer evaluation data is then used to determine a specific set of media files. The determined specific set of media files are then displayed at the fuel dispenser that the customer is using or is to use.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for interrupting a fuel controller to allow the generation and display of customer interfaces at a fuel dispenser. Using this technology, a fueling station owner, for example, can generate custom displays on a fuel dispenser in order to provide customized information and selections to a customer that are provided by interrupting a fuel controller that controls the fuel dispenser.
