Abstract: A lift assembly for a storage area includes a floor supported by a scissor mechanism, an actuator for raising the floor from a neutral position to an elevated position, a plurality of members attached to the floor, guide members within which the plurality of members move, and a detent movable between an extended position wherein a portion of the detent protrudes into the guide member and contacts one of the at least two members sufficient to resist movement of the at least two members and a retracted position wherein the at least two members freely move within the guide members. The floor is movable between a non-extended position and a fully extended position when the scissor mechanism and the floor are in the neutral position, the elevated position, or any position between the neutral and elevated positions, and may be removed from the assembly.

Abstract: The present principle generally relate to resetting of an electronic device, and particularly, to resetting of an electronic device to factory default of settings if a reset button is pressed for more than a certain amount of time such as, e.g., ten seconds. The amount of time the reset button is pressed is monitored by a bootloader program after a reboot of the processor. The present principles allow the use of the same reset button for two different functions: a normal power off-on reset and a reset to the factory default. The present principles also allow the electronic device to be reset to the factory default even if the main software of the electronic device is locked up (i.e., non-functioning).

Abstract: An expansion module is disclosed for use in a communication network. The expansion module may include a housing, an input interface connected to the housing and configured to externally connect with at least one analog device, and an output interface connected to the housing and configured to externally connect with the communication network. The expansion module may also include at least one processor located in the housing and configured to receive analog signals from the input interface, to convert the analog signals to digital signals, and to direct the digital signals to the output interface. The expansion module may also include at least one sensor located in the housing and configured to generate digital signals indicative of a performance parameter associated with a fluid in communication with the housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a medical device which can assist in detecting tissue properties. For example, the present disclosure includes a medical device which can detect biological properties associated with the health of a patient and the tissue being examined, as well as cancerous tissue for detecting cancer in a patient. In addition, the medical device of the present disclosure can be used for collecting the data needed to create a predictive model and imaging of the biological tissue being examined.

Abstract: A lift assembly for a utility vehicle storage area includes a floor supported by a scissor mechanism, an actuator for raising the scissor mechanism and the floor from a neutral position to an elevated position, a plurality of rollers attached to the floor, guide members attached to the scissor mechanism and within which the plurality of rollers move, and a detent protruding into one of the guide members to resist rotation of at least one of the plurality of rollers and create a pivot point about which the floor rotates to a pivoted position. The floor may be rotated to the pivoted position from the neutral position, the elevated position, or any position between the neutral and elevated positions. In addition, the floor may be removed from the assembly by passing the first and second pairs of rollers through the cutouts in the guide members.

Abstract: The present invention, a cap for liquids with a visible float gauge, is comprised of a hollow, cylindrical cap made of transparent material, a color coded display of levels and/or a text display, and a fixed inner cylinder. The inner cylinder is attached to the cap top at its top end. The inner piece is concentrically placed in the cylindrical cap inside of the float gauge, and a float gauge is internally retained by the cap. The cap is then screwed on to a liquid reservoir as is found on a typical internal combustion engine, whereupon the float gauge floats on the liquid and is seen through the transparent part of the cap. The float gauge is the indicator, giving a liquid level reading.

Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a background transfer service that provides platform-level support for third party applications to queue data transfers to run in the background, including when the application is not running in the foreground. Applications may thus perform downloading and uploading tasks in the background; however the background transfer service manages the data transfer requests so as to limit each background application's ability to interfere with foreground application operations, that is, by controlling resource usage according to one or more policies.

Abstract: Systems and methods for serving dynamic content (such as advertisements) in response to dynamic content requests are presented. More particularly, systems and methods for serving dynamic content from dynamic content portfolios directed to trending events and/or topics are presented. Upon receiving a dynamic content request, content classifications corresponding to the requested, published content (i.e., the requested content) that included reserved dynamic content space which initiated the dynamic content request are determined. A current trend is identified in a content classification when the dynamic content request volume for the current trend period exceeds the standard/expected dynamic content request volume for the current trend period by at least a threshold amount. When a trend is detected, candidate content portfolios directed to the trending content classification are selected from a set trending content portfolios.
