Abstract: The present application discloses cellulose ester compositions that are plasticizer free that can be processed at higher temperatures with reduced degradation. The cellulose ester compositions disclosed are useful for the preparation of articles, for example eyeglass frames, automotive parts, and toys.

Abstract: A particle damping assembly designed provides enhanced vibration control, especially for use with sound systems. The assembly comprises a housing encompassing multiple containers. Each container is designed to hold particles of varying sizes that contribute to the particle impact damping effect, offering improved sound quality by mitigating unwanted vibrations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of presenting audio information to a user. The method comprising receiving samples of a waveform from a media handling component, initializing a biquad filter with a set of one or more coefficients corresponding to a set of one or more stages of the biquad filter for both a real component of the samples and an imaginary component of the samples. The biquad filter is implemented on a media processing component of the mobile media device. The method further comprises applying the biquad filter to the samples of the waveform to generate an output for presentation to the user, the output comprising a processed rendering of the real component of the samples and the imaginary component of the samples.

Abstract: An example method to facilitate online collaboration includes granting access to an editable collaboration space to multiple users. The method also includes dividing the users into subgroups including at least a first subgroup and a second subgroup. In addition, the method includes assigning the subgroups to different virtual breakout rooms in the editable collaboration space, including assigning users in the first subgroup to a first virtual breakout room and assigning users in the second subgroup to a second virtual breakout room that is different than the first virtual breakout room. Further, the method includes populating each virtual breakout room with common initial content obtained from a virtual common room, the common initial content being the same in each virtual breakout room.

Abstract: An example method to cluster graphical objects in a collaboration space includes displaying graphical objects in a collaboration space, each of the graphical objects including text. The method includes receiving first input to select one or more of the graphical objects. The method includes receiving second input to cluster the selected one or more graphical objects according to intent, theme, or commonalities of the text of the selected graphical objects. The method includes determining one or more intents, themes, or commonalities of the text of the selected one or more graphical objects. The method includes, in response to the second input, clustering the selected one or more graphical objects according to the one or more determined intents, themes, or commonalities of the text of the selected one or more graphical objects.

Abstract: A method may include displaying, via a display screen, a visualization of data within a user interface (UI). The data may include multiple layers of information. The method may include receiving, via the UI, a first user input effective to select portions of the data to be included in the visualization of the data displayed within the UI. The method may include receiving, via the UI, a second user input effective to select one or more subsets of the layers of information to be included in the visualization displayed within the UI. The method may include altering the visualization of the data within the UI based on the first user input and according to the second user input. The visualization of the data may be altered by hiding one or more subsets of the layers of information that are not to be included in the visualization displayed within the UI.

Abstract: A cable drive system for variable vane operation comprising an actuator, a harmonic drive driven by the actuator, a cable drive system driven by the harmonic drive; and a unison ring driven by the cable drive system.

Abstract: A gas turbine engine includes a harmonic drive driven by an actuator, a drive shaft driven by the harmonic drive, the drive shaft with a first drive gear and a second drive gear. A first variable vane stage with a first actuator gear to direct drive one of a multiple of variable vanes, the first actuator gear meshed with the first drive gear; and a second variable vane stage with a second actuator gear to direct drive one of a multiple of variable vanes, the second actuator gear meshed with the second drive gear.

Abstract: An electromechanical component arrangement for a gas turbine engine includes a mechanical component located at a first side of a firewall. An electronic module assembly of the electromechanical component is connected to the mechanical component and includes a housing, a mounting frame located in the housing and an electronic module secured to the mounting frame. The electronic module is operably connected to the mechanical component via a module cable. A vibration isolator is located in the housing to locate and support the mounting frame therein. The vibration isolator is configured to vibrationally isolate the electronic module from gas turbine engine vibrations. A cover plate is secured to the housing and the first side of the firewall, while the housing extends from the cover plate through a module opening in the firewall to a second side of the firewall having a lower operating temperature than the first side.

Abstract: A signal is decomposed into different components using a transform, with the components then being separately presented to a person in a manner that produces a different cognitive experience than would have resulted from either (a) presentation of the original signal, or (b) presentation of a fully synthesized (inverse transformed) signal.

Abstract: A food cooling device includes a cover, an electric motor powering a fan, and an automatic switch. The cover defines air intake openings beneath a motor housing, a bottom orifice, and vents between the air intake openings and the orifice. The bottom opening rests on a table, covering a plate containing hot food. A fan blade directs air toward the food, the air cools the food, and the heated air escapes through the vents. The cooling device is portable, light in weight, and easy to operate, making it suitable for use by small children as well as handicapped persons of all ages.
