Abstract: A speaker assembly has a speaker housing and one or more clamping subassemblies, with each subassembly including a drive dog, a clamping dog with a dogleg, a compression spring, and a dog screw, and with each subassembly capable of transitioning between four positions. In a parked position, the entire clamping subassembly is housed in the speaker housing with the compression spring in a compressed state between drive dog and the clamping dog. By rotating the dog screw, the clamping subassembly is transitioned to a ready-to-release position where the dogleg of the clamping dog extends out of the speaker housing. By pushing the dog screw, the clamping subassembly is transitioned to a released position, where the compression spring forces the clamping dog away from the drive dog. By further rotating the dog screw, the clamping subassembly is transitioned to a clamped position, where the compression spring returned to the compressed state.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for use in identifying and resolving software issues. One or more corrective actions may be identified and taken that are based upon the similarity between an unresolved issue and one or more resolved issues and/or upon the similarity between code changes made to resolve similar previously resolved issues. A version control graph might also be utilized to determine if a change made to resolve an issue in one branch of a software component is applicable to another branch of the software component. The version control graph might also be utilized to compute the relevance of an entry in an issue tracking system for an issue at a point in time after the entry is created in the issue tracking system.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for performing a defect analysis on a software component based upon collected data that describes the operational state of hardware devices in an execution environment utilized to execute the software component at different points in time. The hardware state data is collected from the hardware devices in the execution environment at different points in time and stored in a version control system. A defect analysis may then be performed for an issue identified in the software component utilizing the hardware state data stored in the version control system. Based upon the results of the defect analysis, one or more actions may be taken such as, but not limited to, rolling the hardware or software configuration of one or more of the hardware devices in the execution environment back to a previous point in time.

Abstract: In one aspect of the present invention, a toy arrangement involving a flickering, animated and/or luminescent toy object will be described. The toy arrangement includes a toy object having a light sensitive layer. A light source is arranged to illuminate the light sensitive layer with a pattern revealing light. The light sensitive layer is arranged to emit colored light in response to exposure to the pattern revealing light. In some implementations, the light source is arranged to vary the intensity of the pattern revealing light, which in turn can cause the colored light emitted from the toy object to fade, brighten and flicker. The toy arrangement may also include a speaker that emits sounds that are synchronized with changes in the colored light.

Abstract: Techniques to display location-based information are described. An apparatus may comprise a screen management component and an interface component. The screen management component may be operative to display in a first screen area location-based information on a map according to geographic location, to display in a second screen area a list comprising the location-based information, and to adjust a relative size of the first screen area and the second screen area in response to a received interaction with one of the first screen area and second screen area. The interface component may be operative to receive the interaction with one of the first screen area and second screen area. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for information retrieval are provided that permit users and/or processing entities to access and define synthetic data, synthetic objects, and/or synthetic groupings of data in one or more collections of information. In one embodiment, data access on an information retrieval system can occur through an interpretation layer which interprets any synthetic data against data physically stored in the collection. Synthetic data can define virtual data objects, virtual data elements, virtual data attributes, virtual data groupings, and/or data entities that can be interpreted against data that may be stored physically in the collection of information. The system and methods for information retrieval can return results from the one or more collections of information based not only on the data stored, but also on the virtual data generated from interpretation of the stored data.

Abstract: Particular embodiments detect events associated with information about activities that a user has engaged in. The activities may be associated with a location or location-agnostic. Based on the received information, the social-networking system sends the user a request for follow-up information after an appropriate time delay. The time delay may vary based on the user activity and the context of the event that triggered the request. After the follow-up information is received, such information is stored in the social-networking system and may be used to determine recommendations, sponsored stories, advertisements, etc. to send to friends of the user. The information may also be used for ranking or filtering recommendations.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving first data indicating a current usage of a mobile device by a user. The method includes accessing second data associated with past user states of the user, where each user state corresponds to a temporal, spatial, or modal accessibility of the user. A future user state of the user is determined based on a weighted set of predictor functions, each predictor function comprising a machine-learned algorithm for a particular user state. The probability of each user state is based on past user states of the second data, wherein each past user state is weighted by a decay factor based on the corresponding time. One of the user states is selected as the future user state, and the operation of the mobile device is adapted at a future time to account for that future user state.
