Abstract: A fluid throwing apparatus with a base that is made from substantially fluid-tight flexible material. A handle is attached to the base, which is preferably flexible (or has some flexibility), which when attached to the base causes the base to form into a cup or scoop shape when it is at least partially filled with a fluid and held above the ground. When thrown, the fluid is carried by the base and then released. Depending upon the use of the fluid throwing apparatus, the fluid release could be due to direct impact, or due to unstable flight of the system, such as deformation of the base or the momentum of the mass of fluid. In some embodiments the unstable flight may be induced by optionally attached drag components. In another embodiment the edge/rim of the base could be attached to a player and, when thrown, the attachment would pull back on an edge/rim of the base to release the fluid.

Abstract: A service controller of an information handling system provides a login user interface to a remotely located user. The service controller includes a factory-installed random unique password as its default password. If the service controller is in its original state, the service controller may grant access to the remote user based on original access input that differs from the default password. If the service controller verifies the user's access entitlement, remote access may be granted to the remote user and the remote user may modifying the default password. Access may be granted to the remote user based on user input that includes the user's credentials for accessing a database of asset, owner, and entitlement information maintained by the system supplier. Access may also be granted based on original access input including or indicative of the service controller license.

Abstract: The invention provides in one aspect a drug delivery device comprising a drug container assembly containing a drug, and a plunger positioned within the container assembly, the drug container assembly having an outlet for dispensing the drug, wherein, in an initial position, the outlet is sealed; a drive mechanism comprising a first stored energy source operable to apply pressure on the plunger or the drug container to pressurise the drug, and a first release mechanism operable to unseal the outlet after the drug has been pressurised.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for enforcing publisher content item block requests. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a set of declared network locations for a content item and rendering the content item. A request is initiated for a resource that is referenced by the content item, and network locations fetched in response to the request are logged. A composite set of network locations that includes the fetched network locations and declared network locations is generated. The composite set of network locations is used to enforce publisher block requests.

Abstract: The invention provides in one aspect a drug delivery device comprising a drug container (16), and a plunger (18) positioned within the container assembly, the drug container assembly having an outlet for dispensing the drug, wherein, in an initial position, the outlet is sealed; a drive mechanism comprising a first stored energy source (42) operable to apply pressure on the plunger or the drug container to pressurize the drug, and a first release mechanism operable to unseal the outlet after the drug has been pressurized.

Abstract: The invention provides a drive mechanism for an autoinjector, configured to be coupled to a drug containing portion to form a complete autoinjector, the drive mechanism comprising: a housing (20); a drive means coupled to the housing, the drive means comprising a resilient member (22); a retaining means coupled to the housing, the retaining means (60) engaging the drive means in a first position to retain the resilient member in a deformed condition, and releasing the drive means in a second position; and a coupling means (24) for coupling with a drug containing portion (10). The drug containing portion retains the drive means in a second deformed condition when the retaining means is in the second position, the drive means storing enough energy in the second deformed condition to drive needle insertion and/or drug delivery.

Abstract: An automatic drug delivery device is described, comprising: a housing (1); a skin sensor element (15) coupled to the housing and movable relative to the housing, wherein the skin sensor element is biased into a front position relative to the housing and is movable to a rear position relative to the housing when the skin sensor element is pressed against an injection site; a needle assembly comprising a hypodermic needle (11), the hypodermic needle extending outside of the housing when the device is in a needle insertion configuration; a drug delivery mechanism comprising a stored energy source (4), within the housing; wherein the drug delivery mechanism is released when the skin sensor element is moved from the front position towards the rear position and wherein the stored energy source is arranged to expand along an axis that is offset from an axis of travel of the needle assembly in use; a needle retraction mechanism configured to withdraw the hypodermic needle into the housing when the needle retraction m

Abstract: A watermark image may be generated that includes a first set of encoded pixels each of which is assigned a first transparency value and a second set of encoded pixels each of which is assigned a second transparency value, the second transparency level being different from the first transparency level. The encoded pixels may be distributed among a set of blank pixels such that each encoded pixel neighbors one or more blank pixels in the watermark image, and in particular at least two blank pixels in the watermark image. Herein, each blank pixel may be assigned the second transparency value. The watermark image may be overlaid and blended over a background source image to create an encoded source image. A decoder system may recover encoded information from the encoded source image.

Abstract: A passivation layer is deposited on a first portion of a region of the solar cell. A grid line is deposited on a second portion of the region. The passivation layer is annealed to drive chemical species from the passivation layer to deactivate an electrical activity of a dopant in the first portion of the region of the solar cell.
