Abstract: A mount assembly for mounting a device in an opening of a mounting structure having a rear surface, the mount assembly comprising a shaft and right and left wings. The shaft is rotatably connected to the device and includes an outer surface and a number of grooves each extending radially around a portion of the outer surface. The wings are pivotably linked to and extend laterally from the shaft. A first tab of one of the wings is configured be unengaged from the grooves when the shaft is rotated from a first position to a second position so that the first and second wings are free to move longitudinally relative to the shaft. The shaft is configured to engage the first tab via one of the grooves when the shaft is rotated back to the first position to urge the first and second wings against the rear surface.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first conductor connected to a pin of a controller, where the first conductor includes a low frequency first signal component, and second conductor with a high frequency second signal component. A coupling section includes part of the first conductor situated in proximity to part of the second conductor. The second signal induces an induced signal on the first conductor within the coupling section. The high frequency is at least an order of magnitude higher than the low frequency. The apparatus includes the controller with a first signal monitor configured to monitor the first signal present on the pin of the controller and to report a status of the first signal, and a second signal monitor configured to monitor the second signal by monitoring the induced signal present on the pin and to report a status of the second signal based on the induced signal.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and and/or algorithms facilitate navigation with augmented reality by determining which streets should be annotated, and/or determining the position and/or format of street annotations, based on factors such as user distance and orientation relative to streets, and/or the configuration of streets (e.g., whether nearby streets form a simple intersection, a complex intersection, or no intersection).

Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for dynamically determining location-based rules affecting item sales at POS registers for a particular location and for distributing the location-based rules to the POS registers is discussed. A location-based ruleset of rules regulating sales of items at an individual store is created and transmitted to the store along with a rule group to item map file that maps rules and warnings to individual store items. A rules engine at the store provides updated item sale rules and warnings to POS registers based on the location-based ruleset and rule group to item map file. Embodiments thus provide an improved system for updating POS registers at different store locations with location-based rules specific to the store location.

Abstract: The torsion spring is disposed around an axle/shaft and fixed to the axle/shaft at one end, such that the torsion spring rotates with the door drum and fixed to a spring plate as a stationary structure at the other end. The spring plate does not rotate while the torsion spring rotates. The torsional forces created in the spring by the rotation of the door drum provides a variable torque which counteracts the weight of the flexible door. As the flexible door is lowered, the torsional forces developed in the spring pull in the opposite direction of the travel of the flexible door. The amount of tension resulting from the torsional forces generated in the torsion spring determines the performance characteristics of the flexible door.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable storage medium for analyzing component separation/mass spectrometer data for a sample having known characteristic includes analyzing reference ion data for a relationship between ion mass, retention time, and intensity. The analyzed data is added to a repository, wherein each ion therein has an intensity maxima within a characteristic retention time range for a characteristic ion mass. If the reference ion is in the repository, the range is modified according to the characteristic retention time of the reference ion intensity maxima. Based on the known characteristic, an ion expected in the sample is selected from the repository, and sample data is compared to data for the ion selected from the repository to determine whether the ion is present in the sample. The range in the repository is then modified according to the characteristic retention time of the intensity maxima for the ion present in the sample.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for creating and configuring computing clusters on a cloud computing platform. One of the methods includes receiving, by a service broker, a user input requesting creation of a computing cluster. The service broker generates, based at least in part on one or more release templates and the user input, a deployment manifest that specifies components and properties of a deployment of one or more clusters of a container orchestrator. The service broker provides the deployment manifest to a deployment manager. The deployment manager creates, according to the deployment manifest, one or more computing clusters in which one or more containerized applications are managed by the container orchestrator. Each computing cluster is configured to execute, in a user space, a containerized application specified by the container orchestrator. References to the computing cluster(s) are provided to a user device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for computing availability metrics for an integrated service. One of the methods includes generating, for a service installed on a software platform, a plurality of availability logs, each availability log representing an occurrence of the service becoming unavailable. The plurality of availability logs are aggregated according to one or more aggregation criteria. The aggregated availability logs are processed to compute one or more availability metrics for the service, wherein each availability metric quantifies the availability of the service to process requests from the plurality of workloads in the presence of system failures and interruptions. An availability rating for the service is computed from the one or more availability metrics.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media for backing up and restore a deployment on a cloud computing platform are described. A deployment on a cloud computing platform includes a set of virtual machines and corresponding disks. A deployment may include multiple subunits designated as deployment jobs. A respective job specification file specifies respective resources used by each deployment job. The resources include various scripts specifying actions to take before, during, and after a backup. A backup orchestrator, upon receiving a backup request for the deployment, executes the scripts in a pre-specified sequence ordered by script type. When a particular type of scripts executes, the corresponding script for each deployment job, if specified in the specification file to correspond to that type, executes. When all scripts of a particular type finish execution, scripts having a next type execute. Accordingly, the operations of backing up multiple deployment jobs are synchronized and orchestrated.
