Abstract: A system and method for personalizing a display of a recommendation in a user interface element of an application is described. The system accesses application activities of a user of the application. A user preference is formed based on the application activities. The system identifies a context of a current activity of the application and generates a content recommendation in the application based on the context of the current activity of the application and the user preference.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for providing a consumable level monitor for association with a content-filled consumable. The embodiments may include a sensing module suitable to sense the consumable level; and a communications module suitable for receiving the consumable level from the sensing module, and for communicating the consumable level to a user.

Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for providing a consumable level monitor for association with a solid content-filled consumable. The embodiments may include a sensing module embedded in a label associated with the consumable suitable to sense the consumable level; and a visual indicator suitable to receive the consumable level from the sensing module, and for communicating the consumable level to a user.

Abstract: Thermoplastic 3D objects are printed directly onto permeable materials with a high strength bond. The 3D object can be attached to the permeable material at one side where the bottom layer of the 3D object can be attached to the permeable material or alternatively, at an internal layer where portions of the 3D object are on opposite sides of the permeable material. In order to improve the adhesion of the 3D object to the permeable material, the bonding layer of the liquid thermoplastic material that is printed directly onto the permeable material can be deposited at modified 3D printer settings that can include a hotter than normal material deposition temperature. Additional build layers of the liquid thermoplastic material are printed on the bonding layer to complete the 3D objects.

Abstract: In a non-limiting example of the present disclosure, an exemplary table of contents slide may be displayed for a slide deck of a presentation program. The table of contents slide may comprise one or more sections of grouped slides for the slide deck. A selection of a section link may be received. The section link links the table of contents slide to a section of grouped slides. An exemplary presentation program may navigate the slide deck to a first slide of the section based on the received selection. When the navigation of the section is completed, the presentation program returns the slide deck to one of: the table of contents slide and the first slide of the section. Other examples described relate to creation and rendering of an exemplary table of contents slide and/or section links within an exemplary table of contents slide of a presentation program.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing flowable material. The dispenser comprises a resiliently deformable body encompassing a closed volume with an optional flexible pouch disposed therein to accommodate the flowable material. A discharge element having at least one discharge opening, along with at least one valve regulating flow from the closed volume or the flexible pouch and through the discharge opening is also provided. The body is configured so that a threshold amount of deformation of the body causes the flowable material to urge from the closed body through the discharge opening or the pressure increase of the closed volume acting on the flexible pouch sufficiently so that flowable material accommodated in the flexible pouch is urged therefrom through the discharge opening.

Abstract: A hydrophobic and oleophobic coating composition includes at least a polysilazane polymer and a fluoroacrylate copolymer. The coating composition can be applied to a substrate in a single-step process as a thick and durable polymeric layer. Methods for making the coating composition and related articles are also provided.

Abstract: In one example, a modified electrical device includes a body and at least one connector on the body to make power and control connections with an active cover plate. In some embodiments, a wall plate system may include a modified electrical device or receptacle and/or an active cover plate.

Abstract: A system includes an inducer assembly configured to receive a fluid flow from compressor fluid source and to turn the fluid flow in a substantially circumferential direction into the exit cavity. The inducer assembly includes multiple flow passages. Each flow passage includes an inlet configured to receive the fluid flow and an outlet configured to discharge the fluid flow into the exit cavity, and each flow passage is defined by a first wall portion and a second wall portion extending between the inlet and the outlet. The first wall portion includes a first surface adjacent the outlet that extends into the exit cavity.

Abstract: A hydrophobic and oleophobic coating composition includes at least a polysilazane polymer, a fluoroacrylate copolymer, and a thermosetting fluorinated polymer. The coating composition can be applied to a substrate in a single-step process as a thick and durable polymeric layer. Methods for making the coating composition and related articles are also provided.

Abstract: A hydrophobic and oleophobic coating composition includes at least a polysilazane polymer and a fluoroacrylate copolymer is applied to one or more work pieces, such as solder paste stencils, via a nebulizing spray system having one or more spray applicators. Application is accomplished by controlled operation of the spray applicator along with controlled movement of a work piece relative to the applicator.

Abstract: A variety of active cover plate configurations with prongs configured to contact side screw terminals of electrical receptacles are described.

In some embodiments, a wall plate system may include a modified electrical device or receptacle and/or an active cover plate.

Abstract: In one example, a cover plate may include a face plate with at least one outlet aperture, a back plate abutting the back of the face plate, an electric load between the face plate and the back plate, and at least one prong that extends from the face plate to a free end. The prong may be configured to interface with a terminal on the side of an outlet receptacle body and may include any or all of the following: an insulated portion and/or an electrical contact. The prong may resiliently deflects outward when interfacing with the terminal and may deflect with a first resistance prior to contacting a wall and with a second resistance that is greater than the first resistance when the prong contacts the wall. The cover play may also include at least one conductor electrically connecting the prong to the electric load.
