Abstract: Illustrative embodiments disclose systems for sharing, among a group of consumers, data provided by a contributor. Some embodiments are well-suited for real-time distribution of data developing from ongoing incidents, and may be useful, for example, for emergency management. Illustrative embodiments provide a cloud-based system having tenants that are data contributors and data consumers. The system receives, from each contributor, both data and sharing rules that dictate whether and how that data may be shared, and with whom (which consumer or consumers), and then provide data to such consumer or consumers according to the sharing rules.

Abstract: A direct to shape (DTS) printer including a plurality of inkjet print head channels configured to deposit ink on an external surface of the vessel and a pinning lamp configured to provide light having a first peak power density to at least partially cure the ink deposited on the surface of the vessel is disclosed. The DTS printer can also include a rotary drive assembly configured to rotate the vessel relative to the plurality of inkjet print head channels, and a final curing lamp configured to provide light having a second peak power density to fully cure the ink deposited on the surface of the vessel.

Abstract: A filter element (1) comprising a central tubular body/core (2) and a plurality of radially outwardly directed fins (3) forming the main structure of the element, the radially outwardly directed fins (3) projecting outwardly from said central tubular body/core (2) and whose radial length increases stepwise from each end of the central body or core to a maximum length located centrally of the length of the body or core (2), thereby effectively providing a generally double back-to-back conical appearance, a stiffening ring (8) arranged to encircle with a gap therebetween the body/core (2) at a mid-region thereof and whose plane is perpendicular to the axis of the body or core (2), the central tubular body/core (2) including one or more radially inwardly directed ribs (12).

Abstract: A one-piece facemask in combination with a ball cap including a bill. The facemask includes a grid portion formed by a plurality of interconnected plastic segments with circular cross sections joined at substantially perpendicular angles. One of the segments forms an upper edge of the grid portion spanning from a distal left side of the grid portion to a distal right side of the grid portion. The facemask includes one plastic bar spanning the upper edge of the grid portion. The one plastic bar is unconnected to the upper edge of the grid portion between the distal left side of the upper edge of the grid portion and the distal right side of the upper edge of the upper edge of the grid portion to define an open slot between the elongated bar and the upper edge of the grid portion. The open slot receives the bill of the ball cap.

Abstract: An inkjet printing device includes a fast-scan drive module, attached to a first gantry, for moving back-and-forth, parallel to a first direction above a flatbed table, a print head including a nozzle row, wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the nozzle row; and a slow-scan drive module, attached to the inkjet printing device, for moving back-and-forth above the flatbed table, parallel to a second direction, the first gantry on a set of motion rails, attached to the inkjet printing device, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; and a first drive module, attached to a second gantry, for moving parallel to the second direction the second gantry on the set of motion rails while an ink-receiver is coupled to the second gantry; and loading the ink-receiver on the flatbed table by decoupling the ink-receiver from the second gantry.

Abstract: An inkjet printing method using an inkjet printing device including a vacuum support for a substrate held down against a support surface of the vacuum support by air suction includes a step of jetting a set of layers with a set of liquids on the support surface to form a pattern with a surface roughness between 2.0 ?m and 200.0 ?m and rougher than the surface roughness of the support surface, and a step of supporting the substrate at least partially on the pattern.

Abstract: A one piece plastic decorative facemask decorates the face of a wearer of a ball cap including a bill. The decorative facemask includes a grid portion comprising a plurality of interconnected plastic segments with circular cross sections joined at substantially perpendicular angles, one of the plastic segments forming an upper edge of the grid portion spanning from a distal left side of the grid portion to a distal right side of the grid portion.

Abstract: A decorative facemask is disclosed to decorate the face of a wearer of a ball cap including a bill. The facemask includes a one piece plastic decorative facemask including a slot formed along a top edge of the facemask configured to receive the bill of the cap, wherein the slot is an only attachment feature holding the facemask in place. According to one embodiment, the facemask includes a plurality of plastic wires, wherein the slot is defined by two wires along a top of the facemask. A topmost of the wires can deform upward to create a frictional force between the facemask and the bill of the cap.

Abstract: An unaddressed device installed inline in a path of an MPLS network can communicate a packet from within the MPLS network to an upstream device without knowledge of the necessary MPLS labeling by sending the packet intentionally in the wrong direction: downstream. To communicate to an upstream device, the unaddressed device sends a packet downstream into the MPLS network on the opposite side and through the opposite outgoing port from that which would be used for a packet sent to the same device in a non-MPLS network. This behavior forces the MPLS network, when it next inspects the packet, to re-label it with the correct labeling to route the packet on a path back upstream to the recipient device. In this manner, the MPLS architecture is used to redirect or loop back packets from an unaddressed inline device to the upstream device.

Abstract: A decorative facemask can be worn by a sports fan to imitate a facemask worn by a professional athlete. Facemasks can be imitated from a wide variety of sports. An apparatus to decorate the face of a wearer of a ball cap including a bill includes the decorative facemask affixed to the bill of the ball cap.

Abstract: A catalyst for removal of NOx from exhaust gas, containing cerium oxide and titanium dioxide, wherein a first portion of the cerium oxide forms at least one agglomerate of cerium oxide crystallites interdispersed in the titanium dioxide, and a second portion of the cerium oxide forms at least one island on a surface of the titanium dioxide, a method for producing the catalyst, a process for selectively reducing NOx levels in an exhaust gas using the catalyst, and an SCR canister containing the catalyst therein.

Abstract: A cap in combination with spectacles that are removably coupled to the underside of the cap's visor. The spectacles are pivotally movable from a first deployed position, where the lenses are disposed in front of a user's face to a second stowed position, where the spectacles underlie the visor. The pivoting mechanism is axially biased to provide constant pressure to hold the spectacles in substantially any position.
