Abstract: A virtual image generation system comprises a planar optical waveguide having opposing first and second faces, an in-coupling (IC) element configured for optically coupling a collimated light beam from an image projection assembly into the planar optical waveguide as an in-coupled light beam, a first orthogonal pupil expansion (OPE) element associated with the first face of the planar optical waveguide for splitting the in-coupled light beam into a first set of orthogonal light beamlets, a second orthogonal pupil expansion (OPE) element associated with the second face of the planar optical waveguide for splitting the in-coupled light beam into a second set of orthogonal light beamlets, and an exit pupil expansion (EPE) element associated with the planar optical waveguide for splitting the first and second sets of orthogonal light beamlets into an array of out-coupled light beamlets that exit the planar optical waveguide.

Abstract: Typically, fluids used in fracking operations erode valve seats in the fluid end of the reciprocating pump. Thus, these valve seats must frequently be replaced by new valve seats. Accordingly, a remanufacturing process is disclosed that successively cleans and/or grinds manually or mechanically at least the carbide inserts from used valve seats until the inserts are reusable. This reduces material costs and promotes efficiency and sustainability.

Abstract: The runtime retargeting approaches discussed herein can enable real time adaptation of character and object motion. In particular, fixed-source motion can be dynamically adjusted to variable situations encountered during runtime. In this way, the runtime retargeting approaches discussed herein can preserve the intent, visual quality, and essence of such fixed-source motion, while modifying it to meet new physical constraints or goals.

Abstract: A compute server receives a request that triggers execution of a code piece out of multiple code pieces. A single process at the compute server executes the code piece, which is run in an isolated execution environment. Each other code piece runs in other isolated execution environments respectively and executed by the single process. The code piece, when executed, modifies a response to the request. The response is generated based at least in part on the executed code piece. The generated response is transmitted.

In certain embodiments, the disclosure provides methods for continuing an oral immunotherapy for the treatment of a peanut allergy after missing a scheduled oral administration of one or more consecutive doses of a pharmaceutical composition comprising peanut protein.

Abstract: A dock gate barrier system includes: a barrier with first and second ends with a central axis extending therebetween, and a coupling defining a passage; and a support member, from which extends a hitch pin, which extends along a longitudinal axis, and can enter and extend into the coupling passage. The hitch pin and the passage are configured such that: in a first configuration, the hitch pin can enter into/withdraw from, the passage; and in a second configuration, in response to a load being applied to the barrier causing it to bend, the hitch pin is engaged with the coupling to thereby lock the coupling relative to the hitch pin and thereby lock the barrier member to the first support member.

Abstract: A fitting has a first housing including a first body and a second body. The first body defines a first channel and a second channel, and second body defines a third channel that is co-planar with the first channel and a fourth channel that is co-planar with the first channel. First bearings are disposed within the first channel and the third channel, where the first bearings rotatably coupled the first housing to the second housing. Additionally, second bearings are disposed within the second channel and the fourth channel, the second bearings rotatably coupling the first housing to the second housing. A plug couples to the first housing, a gasket is disposed between the plug and the first housing, and a passage is defined at least in part by the first housing, the second housing, and the plug.

Abstract: A power end frame includes a housing and a face plate secured to the housing. During use, components of the power end frame, including the housing and the face plate, are subjected to large tensile stresses. This disclosure describes a method of imparting compressive stresses in the power end frame to resist these large tensile stresses.

Abstract: A wearable ophthalmic device may include a head-mounted light field display configured to generate a physical light field comprising a beam of light. Camera(s) on or in communication with the device may receive light from the surroundings, and a light field processor may determine, based on the light, left and right numerical light field image data describing image(s) to be displayed to the left and right eyes respectively. The left and/or right numerical light field image data can be modified to computationally introduce a shift based on a determined convergence point of the eyes, and the physical light field presented to the user can be generated corresponding to the modified numerical light field image data, e.g., to correct for a convergence deficiency of the eye(s).

Abstract: An edge server of a distributed edge compute and routing service receives a tunnel connection request from a tunnel client residing on an origin server, that requests a tunnel be established between the edge server and the tunnel client. The request identifies the hostname that is to be tunneled. An IP address is assigned for the tunnel. DNS record(s) are added or changed that associate the hostname with the assigned IP address. Routing rules are installed in the edge servers of the distributed edge compute and routing service to reach the edge server for the tunneled hostname. The edge server receives a request for a resource of the tunneled hostname from another edge server that received the request from a client, where the other edge server is not connected to the origin server. The request is transmitted from the edge server to the origin server over the tunnel.
