Abstract: Mounting a device to a surface is achieved using a mount coupled to the surface and including a swing arm hinged so that the swing arm is movable between an open position permitting insertion or removal of the device, and a capture position in which the swing arm holds the device. Ideally, hinges include a retainer such as a torque insert are a part of the mount.

Abstract: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other computer-implemented methods are used to identify various semantically important chunks in documents, automatically label them with appropriate datatypes and semantic roles, and use this enhanced information to assist authors and to support downstream processes. Chunk locations, datatypes, and semantic roles can often be automatically determined from what is here called “context”, to wit, the combination of their formatting, structure, and content; those of adjacent or nearby content; overall patterns of occurrence in a document, and similarities of all these things across documents (mainly but not exclusively among documents in the same document set).

Abstract: A mounting system for an image capture device that includes three pivotably connected arms is disclosed. The first arm includes a first fastener that is lockable and unlockable to allow for connection and disconnection of the image capture device, and a second fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the position of the image capture device relative to the first arm. The mounting system further includes a third fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the relative positioning between the first arm and the second arm, and a fourth fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the relative positioning between the second arm and the third arm. Whereas the first fastener is removable, each of the second, third, and fourth fasteners is captive to (nonremovable from) the mounting system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking the position of one or more head-mounted display (HMD) system components of an HMD system. The HMD components may carry a plurality of angle sensitive detectors or other types of detectors. The HMD system may be operative to detect corrupted position tracking samples, allowing such samples to be ignored, thereby improving the position tracking process. Control circuitry causes light sources to emit light according a specified pattern, and receives sensor data from the plurality of detectors. Control circuitry may process the sensor data, for example using machine learning or other techniques, to track a position of one or more HMD components.

Abstract: Magnetically-assisted mechanical gear systems and other power transmission systems, and related methods of operation and assembly, are disclosed herein. In an example embodiment, such a system includes a driving gear, a driven gear, and a first magnetomotive force (MMF) source that generates a magnetic flux. A first portion of the flux is communicated between at least one driving gear teeth and at least one driven gear teeth so that one or more magnetic forces are exerted between the gears. When the first rotational movement of the driving gear alternates from being in the first rotational direction to being in a third rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, then the driven gear is driven by the one or more magnetic forces so that the second rotational movement also alternates, and a first amount of backlash movement between the driving and driven gears is avoided or reduced.

Abstract: A method of upcycling fiber reinforced polymer source material by disassembling the source material into sections; planking the sections into longitudinal pieces; separating core material from the source material in the longitudinal pieces to make composite strips; preparing the composite strips; and remanufacturing the prepared composite strips into an article.

Abstract: A bar valve includes an elongate housing having a first inlet located towards a first end of the housing, a second inlet located towards a second end of the housing, and an outlet located between the first inlet and the second inlet. A mixing chamber is located within the housing, the mixing chamber being configured to receive first and second input flows from the first inlet and second inlet, respectively. A flow controller is configured to receive a mixed flow from the mixing chamber and controllably output an outlet flow to the outlet. The mixing chamber and flow controller is disposed sequentially in a region of the housing between the first end and the outlet, thereby confining the mixed flow and the outlet flow to the region of the housing between the first end and the outlet.

Abstract: Systems and methods of network telemetry caching and distribution are provided. The system can receive network telemetry data and store it as a plurality of data nodes. The system can maintain a node pointer map and a node pointer queue. If the system receives an update to a data node having a corresponding node pointer not already present in the node pointer map, the system can add the node pointer to the node pointer queue and to the node pointer map with a count of zero. If the node pointer is already present in the node pointer map, the system can increment the node count for the node pointer in the node pointer map and not add the node pointer to the node pointer queue. The system can transmit data values and node counts to the client device for each node pointer in the node pointer queue.

Abstract: There is disclosed an improved wall panel trim reveal system and method which utilizes a set of vertical, horizontal and corner trim pieces designed to be fitted together. In an embodiment, the system includes horizontal trim pieces having at least one slope, vertical trim pieces having at least one tab forming a slot for receiving one or more horizontal trim pieces therein, wherein the horizontal and vertical trim pieces when installed together with wall panels forming a moisture drainage channel to direct moisture away from the wall.

Abstract: An appliance includes a temperature control system, a light source, and a spectrometer. The spectrometer works in conjunction with the light source to obtain a measured value of a foodstuff. The measured value is at least one of an absorbance value, a transmittance value, and a reflectance value. The measured value from the foodstuff is compared to a reference value for the foodstuff.

Abstract: A method for communicating over a specified protocol enabling bi-directional streaming between a network manager and a network device is provided. The method includes receiving, at data processing hardware of a network device, a request from the network manager requesting data including at least one of state information or configuration information. The request includes a get request to obtain a snapshot of the requested data existing on the network device or a subscribe request to subscribe to updates for the requested data existing on the network device. The method also includes transmitting a data response from the data processing hardware to the network manager via telemetry. The data response includes the requested data having data elements defined by at least one data schema supported by the network device. The capability and data requests and the capability and data responses adhere to a protocol configured to enable bi-directional streaming between the network manager and the network device.

Abstract: Mounting a device to a horizontal surface of a transport vehicle is achieved by connecting a latch post assembly to the horizontal surface and a receiver assembly to the device. The latch post assembly and the receiver assembly may then be mated together creating multiple zones of frictional contact and positive retention force preventing inadvertent decoupling of the latch post assembly and the receiver assembly.
