Abstract: A throttle quadrant system for an aircraft includes: a first throttle handle to control a first engine of the aircraft, the first throttle handle having a first activatable visual indicator integrated therein; a second throttle handle to control a second engine of the aircraft, the second throttle handle comprising a second activatable visual indicator integrated therein; and at least one controller to control activation and operation of the first activatable visual indicator and the second activatable visual indicator. The at least one controller responds to first engine data related to operating status of the first engine to selectively activate the first activatable visual indicator. The at least one controller also responds to second engine data related to operating status of the second engine to selectively activate the second activatable visual indicator.

Abstract: A syringe assembly includes a syringe barrel (12) having a proximal end and a distal end, a needle hub (20) supporting the needle and coupled to the distal end of the syringe barrel (12). A moveable shield (36) is included for sliding from a first position where the needle is exposed a first length, a second position where the needle is exposed a second length less than said first length, and a third position covering a distal end of the needle. A locking mechanism (48, 86) is included to retain the shield in the second position while enabling the shield to slide to the third position, and to lock the shield in the third position to prevent re-use of the syringe.

Abstract: A downhole gas ventilation system includes a perforated tubing positioned within a production tubing installed in a wellbore. The perforated tubing couples to wellbore equipment positioned uphole of the perforated tubing within the wellbore to flow multiphase hydrocarbons received within the perforated tubing into the wellbore equipment. The perforated tubing includes two ends and a sidewall connecting the two. Multiple perforations formed in the sidewall receives the multiphase hydrocarbons within the perforated tubing. The perforated tubing outer diameter is smaller than the production tubing inner diameter. The perforated tubing facilitates separation of the liquid phase from the gaseous phase. A one-way check valve is coupled to the upper end of the perforated tubing to vent the gaseous phase that rises towards the upper end out of the perforated tubing, out of the production tubing and into an annulus defined between the production tubing and the wellbore inner wall.

Abstract: A method of determining a CRF level for a user of a fitness tracking system includes receiving activity data from at least one activity sensor carried by the user during a number of workouts, the activity data including distance data for each of the number of workouts, and then generating workout data based on the activity data. The method further includes storing the workout data in a memory, the memory further including demographic data for the user. When the an attribute of the workout data is less than a threshold number, the method includes determining a first CRF level for the user based on a first CRF model. When the attribute of the workout data is greater than the threshold number, the method includes determining a second CRF level for the user based on a second CRF model.

Abstract: The inventive concept is a computerized healthcare product and service ordering system and method. At least one processor is designed to assess the completeness of service orders and contains information about ordered products, services, and associated administrative communications. The processor is programmed to distinguish between the product and service ordered and associated administrative communications, record the information, send confirmation, request fulfillment, and establish a repeat order queue, wherein the software program assesses the priority of the order and bypass trigger points. At least one processor is designed to receive order completeness information for fulfillment and to take corrective action if needed. The processor is designed to assess whether the order is fulfilled on time. The processor, if fulfillment is or will be late, at least one or more of quantitatively, qualitatively, and by delivery location incomplete, is designed to alert selected people.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for effectuating payment for time-sensitive responses. An example method includes receiving a time-sensitive request for payment from a service provider device, generating an actionable payment notification for a first user device associated with the time-sensitive request for payment, and transmitting the actionable payment notification to the first user device. In an instance in which the computing device receives responsive authorization from the first user device, the method includes transmitting a first real-time payment to the service provider device. In an instance in which the computing device fails to receive responsive authorization from the first user device, the method includes transmitting a payment failure notification to the service provider device.

Abstract: A method of improving performance of a relief image printing plate on a printing cylinder which includes mounting a compressible cushion element on a surface of the printing cylinder. The surface of the cushion element that is contactable with the relief image printing plate is a low friction surface that allows a relief image printing plate to slide freely across its surface and settle into position on the printing cylinder. The use of a cushion element having a low friction surface reduces smut and improves registration of the printing plate on the printing cylinder.

Abstract: A highly portable user-friendly development environment is provided that can enable the creative design of custom electronic presentations. Users can design their own custom presentations from a storyboard document, and collaborate with others during the development process. The document-based authoring environment uses a standard word processing document and the structure and content of the presentation can be defined using constructs. The development of presentations can take place in the cells of an electronic table of the word processing document. The constructs are specified in connection with the table, and a build process can process the document and generate a presentation based on the constructs and the content in the table. This document-based authoring environment can expand the possibilities of e-learning course development beyond conventional database development environments.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for identifying reusable content in an electronic presentation. An electronic presentation can be developed that has electronic content. Reusable content that provides information about concepts appearing the electronic presentation or in another electronic presentation can be classified. In response to a request for the reusable content, matching content can be identified, filtered and an appropriate subset of the matching content can be provided.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for synchronizing audio and visual content. A multiple audio language product can be produced containing a single video file that is automatically synchronized to whichever audio the viewer selects. The audio streams and video streams are processed into a plurality of segments. If, for example, an audio stream is selected that corresponds to a particular language, which is not the original audio stream that the video was synchronized to, then the duration of each audio segment in the selected stream can be compared with the duration of each segment in the original audio stream. The number of frames in a segment of the video stream can be adjusted based on the comparison. If the playback duration of the selected audio segment is greater than the corresponding original audio segment, one or more frames in the video segment can be repeated.
