The first peak extends upwardly from the valley toward the chain and has a first contact surface positioned to contact the chain a first height above the valley. The second peak extends upwardly from the valley toward the chain and has a second contact surface positioned to contact the chain a second height above the valley. The first contact surface is spaced from the second contact surface by a gap that is at least 5 times the first height. Each of the first and second contact surfaces has a length that is less than the length of the gap and less than two times a pitch of the chain.

Abstract: A device determines that a policy is to be executed. The device retrieves rules, resource identifiers, and data provider identifiers associated with the policy. The device asynchronously retrieves resources from data providers that are called for by the rules, and executes each of the rules as their corresponding resources are retrieved. The device identifies a group of rules that have failed. The device calculates a risk score for each rule of the group and generates an alert for each rule of the group. The device outputs a report including each alert, each of the alerts being prioritized in the report based on the risk score of their corresponding rule.

Abstract: A bicycle includes a frame, a front fork, a fixed stop member fixed in relation to the frame, a bearing member that supports the front fork relative to the frame for rotation about a steering axis, and a compression ring. The compression ring includes a body portion between the bearing member and the front fork and a stop portion rotationally aligned with the fixed stop member to inhibit over-rotation of the front fork relative to the frame. The stop portion comprises a second material that is harder than the first material of the body portion. For example, the stop portion can include a contact surface that contacts the fixed stop member when the front fork is sufficiently rotated, and the contact surface can comprise the second material. In one embodiment, the second material comprises one or more of aluminum, titanium, ceramic, and steel. The body portion can be formed as an overmold on the stop portion.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods of adjusting a resistance of user-input device, such as a joystick.

Abstract: A secondary display may be integrated into a form factor of an information handling system having a primary display in a manner that synchronizes movement of the secondary display with the primary display. The secondary display may move from a closed position to an open position along with moving of a primary display from a closed to an open position. A rack and pinion mechanism may synchronize the secondary display with the primary display through a first and second primary pinion coupling a primary shaft of the primary display to a rack. A secondary pinion may couple a secondary shaft of the secondary display to the rack. Movement of the secondary display may be synchronized with movement of the primary display through the rack and pinions.

Abstract: Ignition-quenching covers are configured to quench an ignition event in a combustible environment triggered by an ignition source associated with an ignition-risk structure. Ignition-quenching covers comprise a porous body that includes two or more porous elements and are configured to cover the ignition-risk structure, wherein the ignition-risk structure is associated with a potential ignition source that may produce the ignition event in the combustible environment. The porous body defines passages sized to quench the ignition event. Methods comprise installing a porous ignition-quenching cover over an ignition-risk structure to prevent bulk combustion, e.g., of a fuel vapor in a fuel tank, due to an ignition event associated with the ignition-risk structure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for switching tickets between attendees during an event. The method may include the actions of receiving ticket information from multiple users attending an event, determining that tickets for a particular section are held by one or more of the multiple users, providing a switch offer to the particular user to switch a ticket of the particular user with a ticket held by one of the one or more of the multiple users, receiving a switch request for the switch offer, providing switch offers to each of the one or more of the multiple users, receiving an acceptance of the switch offer from a first user of the one or more of the multiple users, and providing an instruction to cancel the switch offers to other users of one or more of the multiple users.

Abstract: An integral toolless-installation Compression Attached Memory Module (CAMM) bolster plate has a generally flat, parallelepiped body portion configured to contact one surface of a CAMM Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and provide compression between the CAMM and a z-axis compression connector. The bolster plate body defines (a) ramped keyhole(s), each ramped keyhole converts lateral displacement of the toolless-installation CAMM bolster plate into vertical displacement, providing the compression between the CAMM and the z-axis compression connector, by the ramped keyhole(s) sliding along (a) bottom face(s) of (a) head(s) of (a) fixed standoff(s) extending from an information handling system (IHS) PCB, through the z-axis compression connector and the CAMM PCB. The integral toolless-installation CAMM bolster plate may lock in place, laterally displaced, to maintain the compression between the CAMM and the z-axis compression connector.

Abstract: An online system provides options for selection by a user. The online system receives a query entered on a client device. The online system queries an item database to retrieve a set of items related to the query and assigns each item to a product category in a predefined taxonomy that maps items to product categories. The online system inputs each item into a prediction model trained to predict a probability that an item is available at a warehouse location. The online system determines that a first product category has low availability based on predicted probabilities for items in the first product category. Responsive to determining that a first product category has low availability, the online system generates a generic item for the first product category and sends a list of items including the generic item to the client device for display responsive to the query.
