Abstract: A method for data rate switching in an appliance that is connected to a network includes polling data at a first rate when a value of a status of the appliance is a first value, transmitting the data polled at the first rate from the appliance via the network, polling data at a second rate when the value of the status of the appliance is a second value, and transmitting the data polled at the second rate from the appliance via the network.

Abstract: A diagnostic tool and method of servicing a consumer appliance is provided herein. The diagnostic tool may include a casing and a controller. The casing may be spaced apart from the consumer appliance. The controller may be selectively connected to the consumer appliance. The controller may be configured to direct a service operation. Moreover, the service operation may include receiving non-functional character data from the consumer appliance at the diagnostic tool, assigning an appliance configuration manifest to the consumer appliance based on the received non-functional character data, determining a service action based on the appliance configuration manifest, and initiating the determined service action at the diagnostic tool.

Abstract: A system and method predicts events in a computer system. The system and method includes a controller that receives a crash profile. The controller generates granular information that identifies data indicative of a potential server cluster failure in an enterprise system without needing to identify an originating cause of the potential server cluster failure. The system and method trains a model by sampling portions of a profile that may include directives and data indicative of a normal operating state and a conditioned preamble operating state. The system and method provides a trained model to a prediction engine. The system and method modifies an allocation of computing resources in response to the prediction of the potential server cluster failure by the prediction engine monitoring one or more servers of a server cluster.

Abstract: An article can have a surface with selected wetting properties for various liquids.

Abstract: The invention relates to pyrridinobenzodiazepines (PDDs) comprising three fused 6-7-6-membered rings linked to aromatic groups, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are useful as medicaments, such as anti-proliferative agents.

Abstract: Systems and methods for updating a software configuration of one or more control boards of an appliance are provided. For instance, a payload image file can be received. The payload image file can comprise a plurality of update images that include software configuration data for an appliance control board associated with an appliance group. Configuration data associated with a plurality of control boards present in a target appliance can be received. An appliance payload associated with the target appliance can be determined based at least in part on the configuration data. The appliance payload can include one or more update images to be associated with the target appliance.

Abstract: An architectural covering may include an adjustment member configured and positioned to adjust friction affecting movement of the covering. The adjustment member may be manipulated to increase friction in the architectural covering so a covering member (e.g., a panel) of the architectural covering does not move as freely as it would without the increased friction, yet the covering member nonetheless remains simple to operate. The additional friction may be effective to inhibit the covering member from moving across an associated architectural feature on its own without a user's input.

Abstract: A utility cart includes a suspension having an integral perch bracket having a plurality of legs structured to straddle an axle of the utility cart, and can include an opening into which a spring pin (e.g. a pin of a leaf spring) can be inserted. The perch bracket can alternatively include a brake cable attachment feature located on an end of the bracket. In one form the end can extend from one leg and be folded toward an opposing leg. The perch bracket can be cut from sheet stock of material, and stamped into final or near final form. In one embodiment a threaded nut can be attached to the legs of the perch bracket.

Abstract: Improved techniques for presenting sound effects at a portable media device are disclosed. The sound effects can be output as audio sounds to an internal speaker, an external speaker, or both. In addition, the audio sounds for the sound effects can be output together with other audio sounds pertaining to media assets (e.g., audio tracks being played). In one embodiment, the sound effects can serve to provide auditory feedback to a user of the portable media device. A user interface can facilitate a user's selection of sound effect usages, types or characteristics.
