Abstract: An arrangement for generating electric energy comprises an alternator having a rotor with a winding for being magnetized by an electric current fed therethrough and a stator with at least three stator windings for generation of three phase voltages therein upon rotation of the magnetized rotor in the stator. A rectifier has an input connected to the stator windings. Means is configured to measure the development over time of the difference of two of said phase voltages and an evaluation unit is configured to evaluate the result of this measurement to determine the functionality of the alternator. A control unit located remote to the alternator controls the rotor current.

Abstract: A filter cartridge with easier extraction provided by a roll-out clearance region for a radial seal is provided. The filter cartridge may be a two stage filter with the seal being located between stages and usable in a filtration vessel having a central separation wall with one or more riser pipes. Also, a new vessel is disclosed with multiple diameters for first and second stages of the housing with a larger second stage diameter as compared to the first stage, which can reduce door size and/or cause fluid flow velocities to be slower at the second stage relative to the first stage.

Abstract: A system for implementing closed-loop and dynamic capacity management in a web-scale data center is provided. In some embodiments, the method includes a local feedback loop for local system data collection and reconfiguration process that is responsive to inputs received from a global sizing system, where the global sizing system maintains local system data collected at a plurality of systems and transferred to the global sizing system using a data collection feedback mechanism. In some embodiments, the global sizing system manages a set of data representing best practices, and performs data analysis on the local system data collected at a plurality of systems in order to determine if there are any updates to the dataset for the best practices data. Finally, the global sizing system transmits the best practices data to the local system for analysis of the local systems based on the best practices data.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a supplement. The system includes a pump having an inlet and an outlet line. The inlet line is coupled to a container, and the container has a supplement. The outlet of the pump is coupled to a nozzle. The system can be housed in a support box which is coupled to a feeder which has feed. Feed is discharged from the feeder, and the pump sprays a supplement to partially coat the discharged feed. Nutrients, vitamins, etc. can be added to the supplement which can add to the value of the feed.

Abstract: A coupling assembly for use in transmitting force includes a housing which at least partially encloses a rotatable disc. The housing has a plate portion with an annular force transmitting surface which is engagable with the rotatable disc. A cooling fluid channel is at least partially defined by a side of the plate portion opposite from the force transmitting surface. A plurality of projections extend into a path of flow of cooling fluid through the cooling fluid channel. A cooling fluid inlet includes a passage having a portion with a large cross section connected in fluid communication with a radially outer portion of the cooling fluid channel. A portion of the inlet passage having a small cross section is connected in fluid communication with a radially inner portion of the cooling fluid channel. Ribs extend across the radially inner and outer portions of the cooling fluid channel.

Abstract: A method and system for tracking and editing a resource in a real-time collaborative session is provided. A collaboration system provides real-time collaborative sessions between participants. When a participant in a collaboration session uploads a non-editable copy of a resource for viewing in the collaborative session, the collaboration system records the participant who uploaded the non-editable copy of the resource as the owner of an original copy of the resource and the location of the resource on that participant's machine. When the same or another participant attempts to edit the non-editable copy of the resource during the collaborative session, the collaboration system locates the original copy of the resource and starts the sharing of the resource in an editable form in the collaborative session.

Abstract: A technique for providing one class of users of an application a view of what a typical user in another class of users of the same application is visually experiencing is provided. A client application that is interacting with the application provides a user an option of having a PIP view of what a typical user in one of the other classes of users supported by the application is visually experiencing. When the user requests to display a PIP view that represents what a typical user in a specified one of the other classes of users of the same application is seeing, a PIP view window is automatically rendered on the user's display screen. The PIP view window represents what a typical user in the specified one of the other classes of users is seeing, but is not an “active” interface through which the user can interact with the application.

Abstract: A screen resolution information gathering and reporting system allows access to screen resolution information of attendees of a collaboration session. When attendees first join the collaboration session, each attendee's screen resolution information is gathered. The collected screen resolution information is then provided to the presenter of the collaboration session, for example, when the presenter joins the collaboration session or begins application sharing within the collaboration session.

Abstract: A sidebar UI of an application program provides access to the application program's functionality while occupying a reduced amount of real estate on the screen when compared to conventional UIs. The sidebar UI comprises an icon or multiple icons, and each icon references a pane that provides its user the ability to access and utilize a function and/or feature of the application program. Selecting an icon in the sidebar UI causes the referenced pane which provides access to, for example, a feature of the application program to be displayed on the screen. “Clicking off” the pane causes the pane to close.

Abstract: A screen sharing indication system provides a presenter of a collaboration session an indication of what content being displayed on the presenter's computer screen is being shared with attendees during the collaboration session. Any part of the presenter's desktop or computer screen that are not being shared with the attendees is visually distinguished from the areas that are being shared. For example, the areas of the presenter's desktop that are not being shared and thus, are not visible by the attendees appear dimmed or grayed-out, cross-hatched, color shaded, etc., while the areas of the presenter's desktop that are being shared appear normal.
