Abstract: A game machine for development is connected to a host computer, reads out a file requested by a game program under development from a storage device, and executes the game program. In the game machine for development, a file confirmation section confirms whether or not the file requested by the game program is stored in the storage device, a file request section requests the host computer to transmit the file in a case where the file is not stored, and a storage processor acquires the file from the host computer and stores the file in the storage device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of operating a combustion system to attenuate combustion dynamics. The method includes flowing, via a compressor section, an overall supply of air to the combustion system; flowing, via a fuel supply system, an overall flow of fuel to the combustion system; flowing, to a first fuel nozzle of the combustion system, a first supply of fuel defining a richer burning fuel-air mixture at the first fuel nozzle; flowing, to a second fuel nozzle of the combustion system, a second supply of fuel defining a leaner burning fuel-air mixture at the second fuel nozzle; and igniting the richer burning fuel-air mixture and the leaner burning fuel-air mixture to produce an overall fuel-air ratio at a combustion chamber of the combustion system.

Abstract: A sprocket assembly for a bicycle includes at least one alignment member configured to align components of the sprocket assembly about a rotation axis. The alignment member interacts with an engagement member to axially engage components of the sprocket assembly. The engagement member may be configured with features to stop rotation relative to components of the sprocket assembly.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer storage media are provided for enabling the reuse of data structures, data processing, data cleaning, data mapping, analytic concepts, analytic widgets, logic, and graphical components to efficiently provide custom insights to new areas. Additionally, the reuse of data structures, data processing, data cleaning, data mapping, analytic concepts, analytic widgets, logic, and graphical components created for a single model can also be reused components across new models, which enables new models to be efficiently created for a completely separate set of analytics. A model is inimitably created by creating, cleaning, and/or mapping a data concept and creating widgets that provide analytic capabilities for the model. These data concepts and widgets are specifically designed to be reused across models and model instances for a plurality of clients or users. Any data concepts and widgets of the model can also be modified to provide a customized solution.

Abstract: The present subject matter provides a combustion system which comprising: a cowl; a deflector configurated to include a ring body, a plurality of swirlers integrated on the ring body and a plurality of arms integrally extending outward from the ring body; an annular inner liner attached with the cowl; and an annular outer liner attached with the cowl. The deflector is positioned between the inner liner and the outer liner; the deflector, the inner liner and the outer line define a combustion chamber thereamong. The deflector is attached to the cowl via the plurality of arms, but the arms are rigid enough to work together to fix the deflector with the cowl while allowing for thermal expansion flexibility therebetween at the same time.

Abstract: A combustor includes an outer liner, an inner liner, an annular cowl joining upstream ends of the outer and inner liners, and an annular deflector configured to shield the cowl from hot combustion gases in a combustion chamber defined between the outer liner, the inner liner and the deflector. The cowl has at least one opening for introduction of fuel and compressed air. The deflector includes at least one swirler. The cowl defines at least one axial cowl hole, and the deflector defines at least one corresponding axial deflector hole, wherein the corresponding deflector hole and cowl hole are configured to receive a fastener for fastening together the cowl and the deflector.

Abstract: Social networking system users may create events where a group of other users invited to the event meet at a specified time and location. The social networking system suggests users to invite to an event based on a prediction that the users would attend the event if invited. Various factors may be used to make the prediction, such as an affinity between the inviting user and the other users, the availability of the other users at the time of the event and/or the proximity of the other users to the location of the event. An inviting user receives the suggested users and selects suggested users to invite to the event or invitations may be automatically sent to the suggested users by the social networking system.

Abstract: Embodiments of hot streak alignment for gas turbine durability include structures and methods to align hot streaks with the leading edges of aligned first stage nozzle vanes in order to improve mixing of the hot streaks with cooling air at a stator nozzle of a first stage turbine and reduce usage of cooling air at first stage non-aligned stator nozzle vanes disposed adjacent to the aligned stator vanes.

Abstract: A social networking system can generate or utilize a social menu in a social network page. The social menu can be generated based on a crowd-sourced user interaction, an external database of business offerings, an administrator interface of the social network page, or any combination thereof. A user interaction of one user account with a menu item of a social menu can be presented to another user account. A user account can select the menu item by querying the social networking system for creating a reference link to the menu item.
