Abstract: Techniques described herein include an event notification processing platform configured to process large-scale event notifications in relative real time. The platform may receive event notifications from multiple sources and publish them to an event stream, or log. The platform may subsequently process each notification at a processing module according to one or more sets of rules and the processed information may be made available via a data store. Rule sets may be selected based on the type of event received by the platform. A backup data store may record event notifications as they are received or at periodic intervals. Event notification data may also be stored at multiple levels of the platform, so that in the case of a failure of one or more components of the platform, data may continue to be processed.

Abstract: An adjustable headrest wherein the headrest independently moves along the substantially vertical axes of the mounting rods in response to a first-applied substantially vertical force applied to the headrest when the button I simultaneously actuated, and further wherein the headrest independently moves along the substantially horizontal axis of the slide rail in response to a second-applied substantially horizontal force applied to the headrest when the button is simultaneously actuated.

Abstract: The invention provides novel compounds having the general formula: wherein R1 to R6, W and X are as described herein and their pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer or diastereomer thereof, and compositions including the compounds and methods of using the compounds.

Abstract: A modular connector system allows a user to configure physical and functional aspects of a sensor or electrical connector assembly to suit the requirements of a particular installation or application. A header module houses an electrical component, such as a photo sensor, a proximity switch, a safety sensor, etc. A variety of field modules and adapter modules are provided that can be selectively added to the header module to accommodate a wide range of applications. These field and adaptor modules can include power modules, communication modules, or other types of signal processing modules. The housings and electronics of the header, field, and adapter modules are designed such that the field and adapter modules can be rotated relative to the header module to suit physical environment of the connector's location.

Abstract: An open type nuclear magnetic resonance magnet system having an iron ring member. A superconducting coil and a superconducting switch form a closed-loop current circuit to generate a magnetic field. The generated magnetic field gains a magnetic flux circuit and executes magnetic field shielding through upper and lower iron yokes and a lateral iron yoke. The magnet system generates a desired magnetic field in a magnet imaging central area via the superconducting coil. To balance the extremely high electromagnetic force between the superconducting coil and the upper and lower iron yokes, an annular iron ring is mounted in a space defined by an inner perimeter wall of in a cryogenic container. The magnetic field distribution between the superconducting coil and the upper and lower iron yokes is changed via the iron ring, so that the electromagnetic interaction force therebetween is reduced.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a headrest assembly including, among other things, a rod configured to couple the headrest assembly to a seat back. The rod includes two vertical portions and a horizontal portion extending along a rotation axis between the two vertical portions. The horizontal portion includes a first flat surface and a second flat surface. The headrest assembly further includes a head restraint configured to rotate relative to the rod between a use position and an adjustment position. The headrest assembly further includes a clip having a first flat surface and a second flat surface. The clip is configured such that (1) when the head restraint is in the use position, the first flat surface of the clip is in direct contact with the first flat surface of the horizontal portion and the first flat surfaces of the clip and the horizontal portion lie in a first common plane.

The polishing puck includes a connector mount, to receive and hold the optical fiber connector secured to a terminal end of an optical fiber, and a polishing gear configured to engage with a ring gear disposed in the base portion such that a fiber tip of optical fiber mounted in the optical connector traces a roulette pattern on the polishing media upon rotational engagement of the polishing gear within the ring gear.

Abstract: A vacuum interrupter, including: an insulating housing; a movable end cap; a stationary end cap; a pair of movable and stationary contacts; and a pair of shields. The pair of shields is fixed on the movable end cap and the stationary end cap, respectively. The insulating housing, the movable end cap, and the stationary end cap cooperate to form a closed space. The closed space includes a movable fracture and a stationary fracture. The movable fracture is formed by the pair of movable and stationary contacts for carrying rated current and disconnecting capacitive load whereby achieving breaking performance of the vacuum interrupter. The stationary fracture is formed by the pair of shields. When the pair of stationary and movable contacts reaches a full open position, the stationary contact and the movable contact enter the pair of shields, respectively.
