Abstract: Playback, recording, and analysis of music scales via software configuration. In an embodiment, a graphical user interface is generated with staff and keyboard canvases, visually representing a music staff and keyboard, respectively, a scale input, parameter input(s), and a play input. In response to selection of a scale, the staff canvas is updated to visually represent the notes in the scale. In response to the selection of a musical parameter, the staff canvas and/or keyboard canvas are updated to reflect the musical parameter. In response to selection of the play input, a soundtrack of the scale is output, while simultaneously highlighting the note, being played, on the staff canvas and the key, associated with the note being played, on the keyboard canvas.

Abstract: Methods, computer systems, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for enhancing remote work productivity data. In one embodiment, worker data is obtained for a set of target workers and a set of control workers. The target workers are generally identified as working in the office prior to a treatment date and working remote after a treatment date, and the control workers are generally identified as working remote before and after the treatment date. Thereafter, an effect of working remotely is determined using a difference-in-differences model that measures differences in observational changes between the set of target workers and the set of control workers measured before and after the treatment date. The effect of working remotely can be used to generate a generating a productivity score indicating an extent of productivity in relation to the set of target workers.

Abstract: A sealing membrane assembly including a flange having a body with a through passage. A first sealing membrane defines a first flexible panel with a first axial sealed opening extending therethrough. The first axial sealed opening extends at an acute angle. A second sealing membrane defines a second flexible panel with a second axial sealed opening extending therethrough. The second axial sealed opening extends at an obtuse angle. The first and second sealing membranes are secured relative to the flange such that the first and second axial sealed openings crisscross one another and the first and second sealing membranes seal the through passage except through the first and second sealed openings.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure is an acoustic logging tool for determining a characteristic of a ground formation during a drilling operation. The acoustic logging tool includes a transmitter section that houses a transmitter that is configured to emit an acoustic signal and a receiver section spaced from the transmitter section along an axial direction. The receiver section includes a receiver that is configured to receive at least a portion of the acoustic signal. The acoustic logging tool also includes an isolator section positioned between the transmitter section and the receiver section along the axial direction.

Abstract: A system for releasing an additive manufactured part from a build location is disclosed having a cure inhibitor transport system to resupply a cure inhibitor at a cure inhibited photopolymer resin layer where the additive manufactured part is built, the transport system comprises a cure inhibiting reservoir to initially hold the cure inhibitor, a cure inhibiting distributor layer adjacent to the cure inhibiting reservoir through which the cure inhibitor passes from the cure inhibitor reservoir to the cure inhibited photopolymer resin layer and into the adjacent photopolymer creating a cure inhibited photopolymer resin layer. Another system and method are also disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for targeted advertising to specific consumers are disclosed. A system may include a memory storing instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive, over a network, consumer data from a client device; identify a plurality of client-provided consumers from the consumer data; obtain a plurality of unique consumer identifiers corresponding to the plurality of client-provided consumers; and identify at least one first overlapping unique consumer identifier by matching at least one of the plurality of client-provided consumers with at least one publisher-provided consumer provided by a first publisher device of a plurality of publisher devices, the first publisher device having a highest priority among the plurality of publisher devices.

Abstract: A flare stand is provided. The flare stand has a first stand member and a second stand member rotatable with respect to the first stand member between an open working position and a folded position. In the open working position, the flare stand is configured for supporting a flare in a substantially upright position. In the folded position, the first and second stand members substantially overlap in the vertical plane for a reduced footprint of the flare stand. A flare support structure, arranged on the second stand member is configured for supporting the flare in the upright position. The first and second stand members engage a ground surface in the open working position to maintain the flare in the upright position. The flare stand is used to hold a flare in the upright position, but may be folded into the reduced footprint device for storage.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for assessing an image sentiment. The method can include receiving an image to identify a region of interest in the image; determining an image sentiment value associated with the image based on the region of interest, or a classification of the image; and displaying an indication of the image sentiment value with a spatial (e.g. geographical) location.

Abstract: A vehicle traction mat for use to extricate a vehicle stuck on a slippery road surface is provided. The traction mat comprises at least a main mat segment having a plurality of surface cleats, knobs, and knob cleats on a road-facing surface thereof. The cleats and knobs provide traction between the traction mat and the slippery surface. The traction mat may be provided with edge mat segments foldably connected to opposite ends of the main mat segment. The traction mat may have cleats, knobs, and knob cleats on the tire-facing surface thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of treating breast cancer including administering aqueous suspensions comprising solubilized fulvestrant, non-solubilized fulvestrant particles having one or more of an LD Dv(10) between about 1.5 and about 2.1 microns, an LD Dv(50) between about 5.5 and about 9.0 microns, and an LD Dv(90) between about 15 and about 35 microns, with the aqueous suspensions further including a surfactant, a polyvinylpyrrolidone, and a sugar alcohol, and a water-soluble excipient.
