Abstract: Techniques for previewing portions of the content item using an electronic device include displaying a first portion of the content item, receiving input from a user associated with browsing a second portion of the content item different than the first portion, and displaying a preview window illustrating the second portion of the content item in response to the input. The preview window may enable the user to simultaneously view the second portion illustrated therein as well as at least part of the first portion. In addition, a viewing position of the user may be maintained at a location of the first portion in the content item while the second portion is illustrated in the preview window. Accordingly, the user may not lose context of the first portion of the content item while the viewing the second portion.

Abstract: A turbine engine casing flow-path segment that is locally diffusing, followed by a flow-path segment contracting in the vicinity of a fan blade. This contraction accelerates the fluid flow axially forward of the fan blade leading edge at the tip and converges with the linear flow-path aft of the fan blade leading edge but forward of the fan blade trailing edge. More diffused fluid flow results in increased flow capacity of the fan, and increased fan efficiency.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention include a digitized release notes configured to be automatically consumed by a management system or database and can be intelligently leveraged by the management systems for numerous purposes. In embodiments, having a repository of release notes contents, a management system can support various levels of queries for making or proposing solutions for an administrator while also providing a general overview of the release contents in a user consumable format. One advantage to such implementations is the time saved by administrators in gathering all the required information for each piece of the equipment under management. All the release notes information is readily at hand, even if the latest release is not currently installed in the production environment. Furthermore, this allows for flexibility in developing deployment plans (i.e., whether certain firmware/software is required to be updated, how an update affects other equipment, prioritization of updates, etc.).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable mediums. A method includes receiving a geometric model including at least one removal feature having at least one face, the removal feature being a feature that is removed prior to variational solving and recreated after a variational solution has been applied into the geometric model. The method includes designating at least one face of the removal feature as a remain variational face that will not be removed during a variational edit. The method includes adding a constraint to the remain variational face of the removal feature and performing the variational edit on the model to produce an edited model, including applying the constraint. The method includes storing the edited model.

Abstract: An inline dispersal valve that can be used with or without a base. One embodiment includes a rotatable member that is rotatable from a fluid stream obstructing condition to an out-of-the-way condition to prevent fluid diversion into the dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a lever handle for quickly setting the amount of fluid being diverted into the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes an indicator that can be viewed from a position above the inline dispersal valve. Another embodiment includes a cap that can be secured or removed without the aid of tools. Another embodiment includes a clip that allows one to disassemble the inline dispersal valve for servicing. Another embodiment includes a dispensing valve that can be reversed and still properly divert fluid into a dispersant chamber. Another embodiment includes an inline dispersal valve with a bleed valve positioned to allow one to bring the air volume in the dispersant chamber to the proper level.

Abstract: A rendering optimizer captures content engagement feedback associated with a first interval during which electronic content is presented with a first set of rendering parameter values. The rendering optimizer adjusts at least one rendering parameter value of the first set of rendering parameter values by a step amount in a first direction to create a second set of rendering parameter values and captures content engagement feedback associated with a second interval during which the electronic content is presented with the second set of rendering parameter values. The rendering optimizer further adjusts the rendering parameter values to determine they result in an improvement in reading immersion.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for selectively and dynamically determining one or more words of an electronic book to present with comprehension guides. For instance, an electronic device rendering an electronic book may determine whether to display some, all, or no words of the book with comprehension guides for words within the electronic book based on word difficulty, contextual importance or aspects of the user. Techniques are also provided for determining the content of comprehension guides to be presented with the words.

Abstract: A method includes defining a group of control points representing the freeform geometry, defining an initial baseline between a start point and an end point of the freeform geometry and deriving an initial set of parameters for each control point to represent an initial location of the control point relative to the initial baseline.
