Abstract: A cohesive sealant layer directly adhered to two adjacent layers. One adjacent layer comprising predominately polyester. The other adjacent layer comprising predominately polyethylene polymers. The cohesive sealant layer being a blend including polyester and at least a compatibilizer such that the cohesive sealant layer has an opening strength of between 0.4 and 3.4 lb-f/in or between 0.9 and 3.0 lb-f/in measured according to ASTM F88 with a crosshead speed of 10 inches per minute, using a 1-inch wide sample. The cohesive sealant layer having a bond strength to both of the adjacent layers which is greater than the opening strength resulting in in a continuous portion of the cohesive sealant layer remaining adhered to the two adjacent layers when subjected to a force greater than the opening strength.

Abstract: Implementations set forth herein relate to initializing performance of an automated assistant routine and/or dismissing an alarm pre-emptively according to satisfaction of one or more conditions. A condition can be satisfied by a user acknowledging the alarm when the alarm is going off, or causing the alarm to be dismissed prior to a time at which the alarm was scheduled for. The user can cause the alarm to be dismissed pre-emptively by interacting with the automated assistant prior to the time the alarm was scheduled for and/or interacting with a device, which is known to the automated assistant, prior to the time that the alarm was scheduled for. In this way, actions that cause an alarm to be dismissed can be recognized and used to initialize other processes, such as an automated assistant routine, thereby reducing a number of inputs needed from a user.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for verifying record data. An example method includes identifying, by evaluation circuitry, anomalous data elements from data elements of a record included in a dataset. The example method also includes determining, by the evaluation circuitry, a root-cause analysis operation resolution time frame guideline based on an anomaly rate of the anomalous data elements in relation to an anomaly rate threshold value. The example method also includes generating, by the evaluation circuitry, a recommendation to correct a cause of the anomalous data elements based on the root-cause analysis operation resolution time frame guideline.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to power saving mechanisms for a wearable camera device. The camera device comprises an image sensor and lens assembly in an optical series with the image sensor. At a first orientation of the camera device, an offset is between a center axis of the image sensor and an optical axis of the lens assembly. At a second orientation of the camera device, at least one of the image sensor and the lens assembly sag due to gravity such that the center axis and the optical axis substantially overlap while the camera device is in a neutral state. The lens assembly and the image sensor can further allow a dynamic amount of sag relative to each other.

Abstract: A fusion cage has a first component that defines an outside surface that is configured to engage a vertebral endplate, and an interior surface. The fusion cage has a second component that defines first and second opposed surfaces. One of the first and second opposed surfaces can mate with the interior surface of the first component. The fusion cage can include vertical and lateral throughholes adapted to enhance fusion.

Abstract: A driver login device includes: a network communication unit in communication with the server via a network; an image pickup device capturing a target to obtain a login data; an image processing unit electrically coupled to the image pickup unit, and receiving and processing the login data to obtain a digital data; and a central processing unit electrically coupled to the network communication unit, the image pickup device and the image processing unit. The central processing unit, by way of the network communication unit, receives the data of the driver from the server via the network, controls the image pickup device to capture the target, comparing the digital data with the data of the driver to generate a comparing result, and by way of the network communication unit, transmitting the comparing result back to the server via the network.

Abstract: Tissue sample cassettes for receiving tissue samples include an upper tray including compartments separated by dividers, a lower tray coupled to the upper tray and having a central recess, and an absorbent material located in the recess of the lower tray. Related systems and methods for automated gross processing of tissue samples are also disclosed.

Abstract: A hardware multithreaded processor including a register file, a thread controller, and aliasing circuitry. The thread controller is configured to assign each of multiple hardware processing threads to a corresponding one of multiple register block sets in which each register block set includes at least two of multiple register blocks and in which each register block includes at least two registers. The aliasing circuitry is programmable to redirect a reference provided by a first hardware processing thread to a register of a register block assigned to a second hardware processing thread. The reference may be a register number in an instruction issued by the first hardware processing thread. The register number is converted by the aliasing circuitry to a register file address locating a register of the register block assigned to the second hardware processing thread. The aliasing circuitry may include a programmable register for one or more threads.

Abstract: A display assembly for a vehicle includes a support chassis having a recess, and a display module at least partially received within the recess, the display module having a front side and a back side. A cover lens is attached to the front side of the display module with a bonding material and coupled to the support chassis in a floating mounting arrangement using a flexible adhesive.

Abstract: A coupler assembly for engaging a bushing pin of a bushing assembly, the bushing pin defining at least one bushing pin recess has a coupler collar and at least one coupler pin. The coupler collar defines a coupler through hole and at least one coupler pin passageway.

Abstract: A computing device includes a hardware switch that is activated when a primary Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of a first BIOS chip of the device fails to load an Operating System (OS) image from an OS partition of a hard drive. The switch passes control to a backup BIOS that executes from a backup BIOS chip. The backup BIOS loads a recovery image from BIOS recovery partition of the hard drive, which causes a reflash application to execute from the recovery image. Reflash application obtains a recovery BIOS from the BIOS recovery partition of the hard drive, reflashes/writes the recovery BIOS onto the first BIOS chip and reboots the device. Following reboot of the device, recovery BIOS loads the OS image from the OS partition, and recovery BIOS becomes the primary BIOS on the first BIOS chip of the device.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed to binder jetting for forming three-dimensional parts having controlled, macroscopically inhomogeneous material composition.

An active component may be introduced, in a spatially controlled distribution, to at least one of the plurality of layers such that the binder, the powder of inorganic particles, and the active component, in combination, form an object. The object may be thermally processed into a three-dimensional part having a gradient of one or more physicochemical properties of a material at least partially formed from thermally processing the inorganic particles and the active component of the object.
