Abstract: A drawer slide system for a chassis is provided. The drawer slide system includes a first slide affixed to a drawer. The drawer slide system allows the drawer to extend from the chassis. The drawer slide system also includes a slide assembly slidingly coupled to the first slide. The slide assembly includes a second slide and a first damped stop assembly, which includes a first stop tray and a first elastomer, arranged within the first stop tray. The first elastomer reduces shock to the chassis when the drawer is fully seated within the chassis.

Abstract: Methods and systems for storing data at a storage device of a storage system are provided. The data is first temporarily stored at a first write cache and an input/output request for a persistence storage device used as a second write cache is generated, when an I/O request size including the received data has reached a threshold value. The data from the first cache is transferred to the persistence storage device and a recovery control block with a location of the data stored at the persistence storage device is updated. An entry is added to a linked list that is used to track valid data stored at the persistence storage device and then the data is transferred from the persistence storage device to the storage device of the storage system.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a system and a method for detecting liquid water. The method includes establishing signal communication between an RFID tag and an RFID reader, monitoring the signal communication between the RFID tag and the RFID reader and determining that liquid water is disposed between the RFID tag and the RFID reader or on the RFID tag if the signal communication between the RFID tag and the RFID reader is disrupted, interrupted or terminated.

Abstract: A compliant drawer latch is provided. The compliant drawer latch includes a first portion affixed to an inside surface of a chassis, and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The second portion includes a latch strike plate, a latch spring cap plate, and a latch return spring arranged between the latch strike plate and the latch spring cap plate. A drawer contacts the latch strike plate when the drawer is seated in the chassis. When the drawer over-travels the latch strike plate compresses the latch return spring up to a predetermined distance, and the compressed latch return spring applies force to the latch strike plate to return the latch strike plate to a latching position when the drawer rebounds from over-travel.

Abstract: A mounting system including a plunger system wherein the sides of the plunger are utilized to engage a stud and the side of the plunger has a plunger cam that can have virtually any desired cam angle and/or configuration to produce a desired pull down and/or locking action.

Abstract: A compact and portable, multi-function camera support device. The modular and variable plurality of components provide alteration of the device's configuration, build size and structural attachment to respond to locations physicality and user requirements. A self-supporting device that can be orientated and attached in various positions upon any structure, vehicle or terrain. Inter-changeable linear frame members and complementary hub profile engagement plate inserts provide the structure and engagement of mounting collar combinations that can linearly re-position and circumferentially rotate. Collars and detachable articulating limbs are employed singularly or paired to connect; equipment mounting plates, limb sets, attachments or wheel sets. Enabling transformation from a single axis vertical bracket to a vehicle mount, scaffold mount, wheeled dolly mount, or rail track support for camera movement.

Abstract: The system and methods include delivering a prize to a mobile device based upon the geographic location of the mobile device. The system can include a registration interface for registering a plurality of mobile devices with the system and a registration interface for registering a plurality of clients with the system. A prize designation interface can associated one or more prizes with a specific geographic location. The prizes can be delivered to registered mobile devices when it is determined that the mobile devices are in the specific geographic locations associated with the prizes.

Abstract: A base for a data storage system is provided having an inner facing surface and an outer facing surface. The base includes a motor well. Formed with inner surface of facing surface of the base includes a medium region, an actuator region and a dam. The medium region is defined by a medium region planar surface surrounding a portion of the motor well, a leading surface and a trailing surface. The actuator region is defined by an actuator region planar surface that is recessed from the medium region planar surface, the leading surface, the trailing surface and a remaining portion of the motor well. The dam has a dam planar surface that surrounds the remaining portion of the motor well and is positioned on the actuator region planar surface between the leading surface and the trailing surface.

Abstract: An integrated access device is automatically configured to conduct packetized voice and data communications between a customer's voice/data equipment and a digital communications switch. For this purpose, the IAD's communication control processor is programmed to perform an automated analysis of the digital communications link and thereby identify communication interface circuits such as DSLAM and voice gateway units, that have been installed by the service provider. It then automatically configures the communication parameters of the IAD for communication compatibility with the communication interface circuits.

Abstract: A collapsible, height-adjustable support device with inflatable floats for mounting articles, particularly cinematographic apparatus, upon and below the water. It is characterized by a central tubular frame (1) with a plurality of detachable support arms (2) perpendicular to the central frame. The support arms also attach to the elongate inflatable buoys (10). Cinematographic apparatus is mounted upon a fixing plate (5) positioned centrally on the central frame member (1). The adjustable height of the mount above and below the surface of the water is facilitated by the angular relationship of the central longitudinally splined frame member (1) and each support arms splined hub. Footpads (4) with releasable locking pins and receiving plates (22) provide attachment of support arms to the floats (10). Anchorage and tether points (14) permit towing and static deployment.
