Abstract: In one aspect, a system for controlling an operation of an actuator mounted on a seed planting implement may include an actuator configured to adjust a position of a row unit of the seed planting implement relative to a toolbar of the seed planting implement. The system may also include a flow restrictor fluidly coupled to a fluid chamber of the actuator, with the flow restrictor being configured to reduce a rate at which fluid is permitted to exit the fluid chamber in a manner that provides damping to the row unit. Furthermore, the system may include a valve fluidly coupled to the flow restrictor in a parallel relationship such that the valve is configured to permit the fluid exiting the fluid chamber to flow through the flow restrictor and the fluid entering the fluid chamber to bypass the flow restrictor.

Abstract: Provided herein is a security mounting bracket device that can be used to securely connect a crossbar to a mounted object. The device is shaped to form a contoured fit with the crossbar and adapted for use with a security nut and bolt rendering both nut and bolt unexposed outside of the device and inaccessible to tools that may be used to forcibly remove the mounted object. The security mounting bracket device can be used as an antitheft device as a security socket is required to remove the nut form the security mounting bracket. The contoured fit reduces the movement of the crossbar within the security mounting bracket device therefore reducing vibrationally induced failure of the mount and loss of mounted object. The security mounting bracket device smooth edges and unexposed nut and bolt also make it a safer bracket for the user in assembly.

Abstract: A method of automatically augmenting content through augmentation services can include invoking a service to receive an entity determination based on the content and an entity container comprising an object of the content and one or more attributes of the object. The entity determination and corresponding entity container can be assigned as a marker to content being clipped. The marker can be used to enable access and actions that can be taken with respect to the clipping or the structured information augmenting the clipping.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and/or kits for detecting an analyte in a sample. Some embodiments provide a method for detecting a non-nucleic acid analyte in a sample using a solid substrate comprising a bound immobilisation agent and an antibody capture agent and a detectable agent, which can bind to the analyte. The antibody capture agent comprises, at a plurality of sites, a ligand for the immobilisation agent. A complex between the analyte, the antibody capture agent and a detectable agent is formed and immobilised on the solid substrate by binding between the immobilisation agent and the ligand. In some embodiments, the ligand and the immobilisation agent are a binding pair comprising a peptide tag and an anti-peptide tag antibody.

Abstract: A method of measuring at least one point on an artefact to be inspected that is located within a positioning apparatus' measurement volume, the method comprising, obtaining at least two images of the artefact obtained from different perspectives and, based on a given nominal location of a predetermined point to be measured within said positioning apparatus' measurement volume, determine the location of said predetermined point in each of the at least two images.

Abstract: A method of electrically connecting an electronic textile to an electronic device, the electronic textile comprising an electrically insulating textile carrier and one or more electrical conductor lines, the method comprising: positioning the electronic textile relative to the electronic device such that each conductor line is in contact with an electrical conductor of the electronic device, thereby providing an assembly; and fixing a clamp member to the assembly such that each conductor line is sandwiched between the clamp member and an electrical conductor of the electronic device. The clamp member may comprise one or more grooves, and fixing the clamp member to the assembly may be such that each conductor line is located within a respective groove.

Abstract: A centralized server system (12, 18) is arranged to monitor overload restriction requirements of session control nodes (21A-D) within a globally scalable VoIP and Multimedia network (20) in order to handle session set-up requests. An overload status module (38) in the server system receives overload status messages (22) from the session control nodes and based on these messages and the demand on each session control node determined from session set-up requests, the server system (12, 18) selects which session control nodes (21A-D) as well as which of their associated interconnects to other networks to include in a session setup response (6) to a session setup request (5) from a source session control node (21A-D).

Abstract: Document authoring that involves illustrating pen input in an authoring environment is herein improved to provide greater control of colors and patterns for representing the pen input in a graphical user interface. Colors and patterns are provided as effects that are applied to the illustrated pen input so that multiple textures or colors may be applied to the illustrated pen input without requiring the user to manually signal a switch in texture or colors or using multiple objects to represent the pen input. In various aspects, effects may be layered on top of each other, and the effects may be stretched or tiled depending on the size of the illustrated pen input.
