Abstract: A cutting apparatus includes a cutting tool and a collection assembly designed for diverting, collecting and disposing dust generated during the cutting process. The apparatus includes a cutting tool, a collection assembly together with an optional dust separator and/or collection container. The air stream generated around the blade of the cutting tool during operation diverts the generated dust particulates into the collection assembly of the cutting tool. The air stream can also transport the dust into the dust separator which transfers the dust into the collection container, when present. Optionally, the collection container further includes an air filtration assembly for storing and disposing the dust.

Abstract: A toilet is disclosed, having a bowl (400) for receiving human waste and a wiper (402). The bowl (400) is moveable between a waste receiving position and a waste emptied position. This movement is provided based on a waste emptying actuation by a user of the toilet. The wiper (402) is movable to remove residual waste from an inside surface of the bowl (400) by wiping the inside surface of the bowl (400). The movement of the wiper (402) is coupled to the movement of the bowl (400), the wiper (402) being configured to move during the movement of the bowl (400), for at least a part of the movement of the bowl (400) between the waste receiving position and the waste emptied position.

Abstract: Discussed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums that create custom résumés for a particular context for which the résumé is to be used by utilizing online service data. The context includes the position the user is applying for, a recruiter the user or the company is utilizing, the company that posted the job, the user, and the like. Customizations include organization (e.g., putting more relevant experience first), selection (putting some experience on, but leaving other experiences off, determining what education to highlight, and the like), and inclusion of context-related insights. Context related insights may be short facts or statistics.

Abstract: A cladding element, for use in a building envelope, comprising a first face, a second face and a plurality of edges. One or more of the plurality of edges includes a mating feature configured to resist moisture passage between cladding elements when the cladding elements are installed on a wall or other structure. The cladding element can include one or more joint features to improve mating between the cladding elements, reduce labor costs, and facilitate moisture drainage from the cladding elements.

Abstract: Techniques for publishing a profile timeline of a member are described.. publisher receives, from a device of a viewer, a request to view a profile page of a member of an online social network. The publisher accesses employment data of the member having a first job associated with a first job title at a first employer with a specific duration. Additionally, the publisher can select a plurality of other members, each member in the plurality of other members having a similar job title related to the first job title. Furthermore, the publisher can determine an average duration for the first job title based on information accessed from the plurality of other members, and generate a first timeframe using the accessed employment data of the member. Subsequently, the publisher causes a presentation, on a display of the device, of the profile page of the member having the generated first timeframe.

Abstract: An orthotic device including a forearm support section configured to be releasably attached to a user's arm, a hand support section configured to be releasably attached to the user's hand, and an adjustable joint coupled to the forearm support section and the hand support section. At least one electromyography sensor is coupled to the forearm support section and positioned to sense activity of muscles in the user's arm, at least one electrode is coupled to the forearm support section and configured to provide electrical stimulation to muscles in the user's arm, and a controller is operatively coupled to the at least one electrode, the controller being configured to deliver electrical stimulation to the at least one electrode.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating a member of an online social networking service to indicate a future career intent are described. Data corresponding to a career intent action by a member of the social networking service is received by asocial networking service. The social networking service then transmits to the member data corresponding to a career intent questionnaire to be presented to the member, the career intent questionnaire including one or more questions regarding a career intent of the member. A career intent of the member is received by the social networking service as data corresponding to one or more answers provided by the member in response to the one or more questions. The social networking service then associates the received career intent of the member with the member's profile, stores the career intent, and exposes the career intent to a search for candidates corresponding to the career intent.

Abstract: A method for quantitative analysis of asbestos in vermiculite-containing materials includes a first embodiment which includes washing the sample with water or treating the sample with a low concentration acid to digest gypsum and carbonates, ashing the sample at a low temperature to remove cellulose, therefrom and analyzing the sample. Digestion may be effected before or after ashing. Subsequently, a second subsample may be ashed at low temperature to remove cellulose and refluxed with a concentrated acid followed by refluxing with a base and rinsing with deionized water to wash away gypsum, vermiculite and other soluble components. This is followed by analysis to determine asbestos concentration. In a further embodiment, the residue of the first embodiment may be employed as the second subsample.

Abstract: The present invention provides for cost-efficient methods for on-line deposition of semi-conducting metallic layers. More specifically, the present invention provides on-line pyrolytic deposition methods for deposition of p-type, n-type and i-type semi-conducting metallic layers in the float glass production process. Furthermore, the present invention provides for on-line pyrolytic deposition methods for production of single-, double-, triple- and multi-junction p-(i-)n and n-(i-)p type semi-conducting metal layers. Such p-type, n-type and i-type semi-conducting metal layers are useful in the photovoltaic industry and attractive to manufacturers of photovoltaic modules as “value-added” products.
