Abstract: A multi-axis mixing apparatus includes a first motor and a frame supporting the first motor, the first motor configured to selectively rotate a first rotatable assembly about a first axis. The apparatus also includes a second rotatable assembly rotatably supported by the first rotatable assembly, where the second rotatable assembly is rotatable about a second axis. The second rotatable assembly includes a clamping mechanism configured to receive and hold a container containing contents to be mixed, where when the first motor causes the first rotatable assembly to rotate about the first axis, the rotation of the first rotatable assembly about the first axis causes the second rotatable assembly to rotate about the second axis, and where the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis.

Abstract: An interface for a battery pack and an electrical combination. The interface may include a battery-receiving portion configured to receive a battery pack and including a cavity.

Abstract: An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers an opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container, and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents may be poured from the container. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be formed from upper and lower sled elements 130,136 that are magnetically coupled to one another. In some examples, the lower sled of the slider may include an air vent with rounded entry portions, and the lid assembly may include engaging members with ramped surfaces.

Abstract: A system for platform-independent visualization of audio content, in particular audio tracks utilizing a central computer system in communication with user devices via a computer network. The central system utilizes various algorithms to identify spoken content from audio tracks and identifies “great moments” and/or selects visual assets associated with the identified content. Audio tracks, for example Podcasts, may be segmented into topical audio segments based upon themes or topics, with segments from disparate podcasts combined into a single listening experience, based upon certain criteria, e.g., topics, themes, keywords, and the like.

Abstract: Systems and methods that facilitate determining and predicting fraudulent or non-compliant behavior using poly-structured data analytics are discussed. An unstructured data steam comprising a set of emails can be received, and processed to reduce the noise, or non-relevant portions of the dataset. Structured data that includes contextual relevant information about the users can also be received, and the poly-structured data modeling system can identify unstructured variable and structured variables that are relevant for identifying and predicting non-compliant behavior. These unstructured and structured variables can then be modeled in order to identify communications that may contain non-compliant and/or fraudulent behavior.
