Abstract: A concrete anchor capable of resisting large loads while requiring minimal embedment depth. The system includes a concrete structure including a cylindrical opening in the concrete surface thereof. The system also uses an anchor which includes a sleeve and a plug. The sleeve includes at least two legs extending toward a first end of the sleeve. The plug includes an increasing diameter portion disposed toward a first end of the plug. The plug includes a locking opening. After installation, legs of the sleeve extend radially outward past the wall and the increasing diameter portion prevents inward movement of the legs to lock the sleeve and the plug in turn in the concrete cylindrical opening. Furthermore, dynamic loading on the plug via the locking opening when the anchor is in use generates a dynamic radially outward force on the legs to secure the anchor in the concrete hole.

Abstract: A computing system receives a prompt to generate a data sticker for a sporting event. The data sticker includes one or more graphical representations of sports analytics data. The computing system parses the prompt to identify individual components of the prompt. The computing system generates, using a generative artificial intelligence model, the one or more graphical representations based on the individual components of the prompt. The computing system generates an image file comprising the data sticker.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes an anchor device for receiving and securing a shaft thereto. The device includes an outer housing within which a jaw assembly is secured. The outer housing of the device may in turn be secured to or within a support structure such as a building component. Jaw components of the jaw assembly may be threaded. Furthermore, the jaw assembly has at least two configurations. In a first configuration, at least one jaw component is positioned away from a central shaft axis against the biasing force of a biasing member. A removable or reconfigurable holding member or stop member selectively secures the at least one jaw component in this position. A second configuration is the result of the holding member being reconfigured by the inserted shaft. The shaft triggers movement of the at least one jaw component toward the central shaft axis and into contact with the shaft.

Abstract: A direct fastening fastener particularly suited for use in normal weight or lightweight composite deck system. The fastener is heat treated to a dual-hardness level so that a portion of the fastener is capable of driving into the support member, such as a joist and a decking member. The remaining portion of the fastener remains relatively ductile so that it can withstand and transfer shear loads imposed by shifting of the concrete slab, which overlies the composite decking, to the support member. The fastener can be a single or multiple piece fastener which includes specially formed annular flanges that enhance interlocking between the fastener, the concrete slab and support members.

Abstract: A leak test apparatus that includes a test chamber, a pressure transducer, a vacuum source, and a vapor trap. The test chamber may be configured to receive a test part and the pressure transducer may be coupled in fluidic communication to the test chamber. The vacuum source and the vapor trap may be coupled in fluidic communication to the test chamber. The vacuum source may be configured to draw a vacuum on the test chamber and the vapor trap may be configured to mitigate vapor off-gassing. A method for leak testing includes positioning a test part in a test chamber, evacuating the test chamber to a vacuum pressure with a vacuum source, mitigating vapor off-gassing with a vapor trap, and detecting a pressure rise in the test chamber.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a user with access to a plurality of television services and content from a number of remote servers and that provides the user with access to the desired service and content through a graphical interface that is customisable and personalised for each user. In one embodiment, the system includes application components, a database component, one or more user interface servers and one or more user devices. The application components provide the user with their services such as, for example, electronic programme guide service, video on demand service, world wide web access, electronic mail etc. These systems retrieve and provide the content that is accessed and ultimately delivered to the user for viewing and interactivity. The database component contains user profile data and usage information as well as content and formatting data.
