Abstract: A system and method for operating a bundle-type checkout system incorporating subscription tiers, comprising an offer manager that receives price offer values from consumers, a discount optimization manager that calculates a least acceptable offer value based on offer pattern data associated to each product identifier of the bundle, calculates a total available discount for the bundle based on the least acceptable offer value and retail prices of each product identifier of the bundle, calculates price discount thresholds and compares price discount values to offer values to calculate price discounts and determines acceptability of the price offer values, and weighted discount distribution among subscription tiers to calculate a final price for each product identifier.

Abstract: The invention is directed to 6-methyl-5,6,6a,7-tetrahydro-4H-dibenzo[de,g]quinoline-10,11-diol for the treatment of diseases mediated by protein misfolding, heat shock factor 1 pathways, or nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 pathways.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for transferring heat to and from multiple objects. Such a method entails placing objects in a vessel that contains a heat transfer fluid so that the objects contact the heat transfer fluid. The heat transfer fluid is at a temperature that is different from the temperature of the object, and is induced to circulate along a continuous flowpath. Each object is at least partially disposed in the flowpath of the heat transfer fluid, and each object is individually rotated about an axis of rotation thereof. The heat transfer fluid continues to circulate and the objects continue to rotate for a time sufficient to cause the temperatures of the objects to become closer to the heat transfer fluid temperature.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a bundle-type checkout system incorporating subscription tiers, comprising a subscription manager that assigns subscription tiers to merchants, an offer manager that receives price offers from consumers and analyzes offers to compute bundle offers, a threshold calculator that calculates price discount thresholds and compares price discount values to offer values, and a discount optimization manager that calculates price discounts and determines acceptability of price offers, and a system and method for weighted discount distribution among subscription tiers.

Abstract: Graph-based detection systems and techniques are provided to identify potential malicious lateral movement paths. System and security events may be used to generate a network connection graph and detect remote file executions and/or other detections, for use in tracking malicious lateral movement across a computer network, such as a compromised computer network. Lateral movement determination across a computer network may be divided into two subproblems: forensic analysis and general detection. With forensic analysis, given a malicious node, possible lateral movement leading into or out of the node is identified. General detection identifies previously unknown malicious lateral movement on a network using a remote file execution detector, and/or other detectors, and a rare path anomaly detection algorithm.

Abstract: A fluid control valve for mixing hot and cold water has an inlet for cold water, an inlet for hot water, and at least one outlet for temperature controlled water. The valve further includes a temperature control device for mixing hot and cold water to provide a source of temperature controlled water that includes a cartridge having inlet ports in communication with the inlets for hot and cold water and an outlet port in communication with the at least one outlet for temperature controlled water. The valve further includes an inner sleeve that defines with the cartridge a first passageway, and an outer sleeve that defines with the inner sleeve and cartridge a second passageway. The first and second passageways are configured to deliver hot and cold water to the inlet ports of the cartridge.

Abstract: A fluid control valve for mixing hot and cold water has an inlet for cold water, an inlet for hot water and at least two outlets for temperature controlled water. The valve further has a flow control device comprising a pair of control members that are relatively movable to control flow of water at the inlets and outlets of the valve for selecting flow to an individual outlet or a combination of at least two outlets.

Abstract: The HALF-SHUTE is directed as an accessory to propel skateboards with the power of the wind. It can easily be carried around the waist of the user when not in use. It includes a one-dimensional diamond piece of fabric. It's diamond shape bellows out in the center to capture more wind. The Edges are reinforced with double layer, folded over, material. The outer perimeter is re-enforced with heavy duty stitching. At each of the lateral ends there are attachments for the user's wrists. The inferior point of the Shute attaches to a flexible cord, which in turn attaches to an eyebolt, which is secure on the skateboard.
