Abstract: Method for retrieving online content in an interactive environment. The method is executable by a computing device. The method comprises obtaining a plurality of descriptive information elements; parsing at least some of the descriptive information elements into one or more subsets of information elements associated with respective information categories; retrieving online content for each of the one or more subsets of information elements; and causing the retrieved online content to be presented to a user.

Abstract: Combination of reservoirs (6a, 6b, 6c) providing segregated stocks of components for laundry products to enable a user to formulate multiple doses of laundry products on demand for supplying to a washing machine drum (11), the combination comprises a first reservoir (6a) containing a stock of a first composition containing a bleach component and a second reservoir (6b) containing a stock of a second composition containing a component capable of initiating and/or promoting action of the bleach component in a subsequent wash/rinse cycle and, optionally, a stock of detergent provided in the second reservoir (6b) or an optional third reservoir (6c).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for implementing a networked environment that enables interaction between content requestors and content creators. The networked environment may be an online content exchange marketplace that content requestors may access to submit requests for content and receive bid proposals from content creators that identify proposed content to be generated. A content requestor may accept a bid proposal from a particular content creator and may receive the content from the content creator via the online content exchange marketplace. The content requestor may then submit a request to publish the content. Publishing the content may include making the content accessible to users via a content sharing platform.

Abstract: A dual band infrared and ultraviolet radiation detector having an ultraviolet radiation detector embedded within a pair of IR anti-reflection layers wherein a first one of the infrared anti-reflection layer reflects ultraviolet energy passing through from the semiconductor, ultraviolet radiation detector back to the semiconductor, ultraviolet radiation detector.

Abstract: A device for repair of a heart valve leaflet includes an elongated catheter assembly having a proximal end and a distal end, and a tip at the distal end of the catheter assembly. A capture mechanism having a first free end and a second free end is rotatably coupled to a distal end of the tip. A plication mechanism has an open configuration and a closed configuration, and extends between the first free end and the second free end of the capture mechanism when in the open configuration. The device may also include a clip housing at a proximal end of the tip configured to hold a clip therein.

Abstract: A method of applying wax to the top surface of a surfboard. The method may include heating the wax until the wax is molten and in liquid form. Then the liquid wax may be applied to the surface. The liquid wax may then cool and harden on the top surface of the surfboard. In certain embodiments, designs, ripples and patterns may be formed on the liquid wax when the liquid wax is on the surfboard.

Abstract: Automated methods and systems are disclosed for persistently facilitating the timely gathering, monitoring, distribution and delivery of information related to medical care where such may include: (1) finding a communications channel for effectively attempting a message delivery to a specific target person at a specified time; (2) adaptively finding a targeted recipient even if the latter is highly mobile and/or has travel patterns or communications-channel preferences that change over time; (3) verifying that a targeted recipient has actually received an attempted delivery within an applicable time limit; (4) automatically recognizing that an urgent message delivery-attempt was not timely completed and adaptively alerting responsible entities of the in completion; and (5) automatically recognizing that an urgent change or non change of condition has occurred by virtue of information gathered during an automated or manually-conducted Interview where physician expected positive progress prior to Interview and

Abstract: System for testing attenuators by a flatness and standing wave ratio tests which includes a vector network analyzer (VNA) adapted to be coupled to a device under test (DUT) and which provides an input stimulus signal for the DUT and, when certain conditions are satisfied, receives an output signal from the DUT, and a calibration receiver adapted to be coupled to the DUT via a down-converter. When certain conditions are satisfied, the output signal from the DUT is sent to the calibration receiver (through the down-converter to be possibly modified thereby depending on the testing frequency). A signal generator provides a local oscillator (LO) signal for the down-converter. A control unit is connected to the instruments and embodies software which analyzes the testing conditions, i.e., the attenuator value being tested, and selects whether the network analyzer or the calibration receiver will measure the output signal from the DUT.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the condition and location of an electronic die on a die holding means is disclosed. The system includes means for illuminating the die and means for generating a video image in which the appearance of the die is enhanced relative to the die holding means. This is accomplished by providing a sensing means for sensing primarily only that light reflected from the candidate die. Means for converting the video image into a digital image and processing said digital image to identify the edges of the die is also disclosed. More particularly, means for generating digital data representing the video image, means for defining a corridor in said digital image, said corridor having a width and a length, and means for processing the digital image to obtain a signature element within the digital data are provided.
