Abstract: In one aspect, a cable hub includes a housing having a base and a wall. The base has an interior surface and an exterior surface. A plurality of cable ports is disposed in the wall. A mounting magnet is affixed to the interior surface of the base. The mounting magnet has a sufficient pull strength for magnetically mounting the cable hub to a ferromagnetic surface upon placement of the exterior surface of the base against the ferromagnetic surface. The cable hub may be a Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub. In another aspect, a kit includes the cable hub and at least one ferromagnetic plate. The ferromagnetic plate may be affixable to a surface using an adhesive material.

Abstract: A universal mobile computing device mount comprises a body, a clamp arm, and an insertable electrical connector. The clamp arm is extendible from, and resiliently biased towards, the body, and is configured to engage an edge surface of a mobile computing device. The insertable electrical connector is pivotably mounted in the clamp arm. The electrical connector is pivotable relative to the clamp arm to promote angular alignment of the electrical connector with a complementary electrical receptacle in the edge surface of the mobile computing device during mounting of the mobile computing device into the universal mobile computing device mount.

Abstract: An adhesive composition comprising a polyurethane and a cationic polymeric dopant or a polymerizable cationic dopant may be used to form one or more adhesive layers of electro-optic assemblies. They enable improved electro-optic performance of the corresponding electro-optic devices even at low temperatures.

Abstract: Mobile fulfillment container apparatus, systems, and related methods are disclosed. An example apparatus includes memory; instructions; and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to associate a first order with a first mobile container based on goods stored in the first mobile container; select a first retrieval destination based on a current location of the first mobile container and a location associated with the first order; and output a first instruction including the first retrieval destination for the first mobile container.

Abstract: Mobile fulfillment container apparatus, systems, and related methods are disclosed. An example mobile container includes a storage area to move between a locked state and an unlocked state to provide access to inventory in the storage area; an electronic gating sensor to detect when the inventory has been removed from the storage area; and processor circuitry to output an instruction including a destination for the mobile container based on an order associated with the inventory.

Abstract: At least one of the pair of shoes has a back portion of the shoe, cut from the collar of the back portion (the top of a shoe above the shoe-heel [the heel of the shoe]), and runs down the back of the shoe. The cut forms a slit running down the back portion of the shoe, forming a right-back portion and a left-back portion of the shoe. The right-side edge of the right-back portion and the left-side edge of the left-back portion are separable from the foot being inserted into the shoe. The right-side edge and the left-side edge return back to their positions when the foot is taken off or when the foot is fully inserted, not overlapping each other when the slit is not separated.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a liner for a blender can include a body dimensioned to fit within a cup for the blender. The body can define an inner volume and include an opening with a perimeter configured to engage a perimeter of an opening of the cup, such that when the liner is positioned within the cup, the resulting assembly is capable of being mechanically coupled with a blade assembly to enclose the volume with one or more ingredients therein for blending operation by the blender.

Abstract: Methods for etching a bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) and/or an anti-reflective coating (ARC) and/or a dielectric anti-reflective coating (DARC) to form high aspect ratio features using an etch process are provided. The methods described herein advantageously facilitate profile and dimension control of features with high aspect ratios through a proper sidewall and bottom management scheme during the bottom anti-reflective coating (BARC) and/or an anti-reflective coating (ARC) and/or a dielectric anti-reflective coating (DARC) open process.

Abstract: Polymer formulations including urethane acrylates, adhesion promoters, and conductive monomers. By selecting suitable conductive monomers, it is possible to achieve formulations having a volume resistivity from 106 to 1010 Ohm·cm after being conditioned for one week at 25° C. and 50% relative humidity. Such formulations are suitable for incorporation into electro-optic materials, such as electro-optic displays or variable transmission films, e.g., for architectural applications. In other embodiments, the formulations additionally include metal oxide nanoparticles to alter the refractive index and/or conductivity.
