Abstract: Various tray inserts, methods and algorithm for certifying candidate trays for use in an X-ray scanner system are discussed. The tray insert includes at least a body having multiple parts positioned for generation of image quality metrics for tray impact evaluation in; a first cover and a second cover disposed at opposite ends to fix and secure the body. The method including running an algorithm to control an X-ray system to collect baseline image data from certified trays, collecting candidate tray image data, extracting image quality metrics for both the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data, and performing statistical analysis using and comparing image quality metrics from the baseline image data and the candidate tray image data to certify the candidate tray based on the statistical and comparison results.

Abstract: Outcome predictions based on historical data relating to events in a “game” (which can be a sports context, an e-sports contest, a business situation, a medical situation, or other scenarios) can be generated using a watcher process that receives event data and triggers conversion of a “different” last event received into arguments for one or more analysis protocols, which are executed against a data model created by an analysis engine. Methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and the like are described.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for dynamically injecting secrets in a pipeline integration system. One of the methods includes receiving, by a pipeline controller, a job identifying a pipeline for executing a plurality of tasks. A preparatory task is invoked for the pipeline that obtains one or more original task definitions for the identified pipeline and generates one or more modified task definitions for the pipeline, wherein each modified task definition references one or more variablized secret names specified as the value of the reserved variable of the one or more configuration files. One or more subsequent execution tasks are invoked using each respective modified task definition. One or more retrieved secrets are injected into an execution environment for each particular execution task.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel cell system and associated method of manufacture. The fuel cell system has at least a first surface region and a second surface region, wherein the first surface region is more hydrophilic than the second surface region, wherein the first and second surface regions are arranged in accordance with a parameter distribution of the fuel cell system.

Abstract: A handheld beauty tool includes a handle, a coupling on the handle, and a head connectable with the coupling. In an embodiment the handheld beauty tool can include an actuator movable with respect to the coupling. In another embodiment, the handheld beauty tool can include a biasing member cooperating with the coupling and the head. In the embodiment including the actuator, the biasing member may or may not be included. Also, in the embodiment including the biasing member, the actuator may or may not be included.

Abstract: Design and implementation of complicated data analyses and creation of visualizations to present the results of such analyses can be performed using a data analysis application.

Abstract: A rowing exercise device comprises a support structure; a movable user support movably associated with the support structure for movement relative to the support structure; a movable foot support movably associated with the support structure for movement relative to the support structure; a handle; and a rowing assembly operatively associated with the handle and at least the movable foot support to cause at least the movable foot support to move relative to the support structure with movement of the handle so that both a user s body and one or both feet move relative to the support structure with movement of the handle.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a fuel supply for a fuel cell, the fuel cell including a liquid storage area that includes a liquid reactant, a reaction area that includes a solid reactant, wherein the liquid reactant is pumped into the reaction area such that the liquid reactant reacts with the solid reactant to produce reaction components, a product collection area that receives the reaction components, a barrier, and a container with an interior volume that substantially encloses the reaction area, liquid storage area, product collection area. The barrier separates and defines several of the aforementioned areas, and moves to simultaneously increase the product collector area and decrease the liquid storage area as the liquid reactant is pumped from the liquid storage area and the reaction components are transferred into the product collection area.
