  • Publication number: 20240118944
    Abstract: A method is presented for executing an application having multiple mutually-exclusive possible dependencies associated with an interface. First, a repository of implementations is scanned using a configuration utility to identify a subset of the implementations tagged for usability with the configuration utility. The configuration utility identifies keys within each of the subset of implementations, and filters the implementations by these configuration keys. The configuration utility scans configurations for a match with any of the identified configuration keys, and selects one implementation from among the subset of the implementations for dependency injection based on matching of configurations with the identified configuration keys. The configuration utility then injects a dependency using the selected implementation, and initializes configurations specific to the injected dependency.

  • Publication number: 20230404049
    Abstract: The disclosure provides embodiments of a fishing line that includes renewable natural fibers, and a renewable natural coating. Some of the embodiments of the disclosed fishing line include, for example, a single strand line, or a braided or plaited line made from multiple threads, strands or yarns. Other embodiments of the disclosed fishing line are degradable over a predetermined timeline. These embodiments are preferred because of the low environmental impact of the disclosed fishing lines.

  • Patent number: 11726491
    Abstract: A material handling vehicle guidance system comprises a first conductive member, a second conductive member, and an electrical current source. The second conductive member is electrically coupled to the first conductive member and extends parallel to the first conductive member to define a loop. The first conductive member and second conductive member are coupled to a shielded cable connector. The electrical current source supplies current to the first conductive member in a first direction and supplies current to the second conductive member in a second direction opposite the first direction to produce a narrowcast radio frequency signal detectable between the first conductive member and the second member.

  • Publication number: 20230072217
    Abstract: An electronic trading system utilizes a Match Engine that receives orders, stores them internally, calculates tradable combinations and advertises the availability of real and implied orders in the form of market data. New tradable items defined as combinations of other tradable items may be included in the calculation of tradable combinations. A technique is disclosed for suppression of the calculation and/or subsequent listing of an implied order when the order is either undesired or unnecessary in the market therefore.

  • Publication number: 20190307111
    Abstract: The disclosure provides embodiments of an environmentally friendly fishing line that includes renewable natural fibers, and in some embodiments the disclosed fishing line optionally includes an environmentally friendly renewable natural coating. Some of the embodiments of the disclosed fishing line include, for example, a single strand line, or a braided or plaited line made from multiple threads, strands or yarns. Other embodiments of the disclosed fishing line are degradable over a predetermined timeline. These embodiments are preferred because of the low environmental impact of the disclosed fishing lines when compared to, for example, well known synthetic polymer fishing lines.

  • Patent number: 10161994
    Abstract: Systems and methods for electrically testing electromigration in an electromigration test structure are disclosed herein. The systems include a voltage control portion, a current control portion, and a current regulating structure. The systems further include an electric current detector, a first system connection, and a second system connection. The systems also include a voltage detector, and a controller. In some embodiments of the methods, a voltage control portion regulates a high-side signal electric current to maintain a voltage difference below a voltage setpoint while a current control portion maintains the high-side signal electric current below a threshold current value. In some embodiments of the methods, one of the voltage difference and a magnitude of the high-side signal electric current is selected as a primary control parameter while the other is selected as a compliant control parameter.
