Abstract: A latch assembly includes a latch body having a longitudinal wall portion extending from a front wall portion to a rear hinge portion, first and second latch members assembled with the longitudinal wall portion and laterally movable between an extended position and a retracted position, and a hinge bracket. The hinge bracket defines a mounting surface and is hingedly attached to the rear hinge portion of the latch body for angular adjustment of the latch body with respect to the mounting surface. When the latch body is oriented at a first angle, first and second mounting apertures in the front wall portion align with first and second mounting apertures in the hinge bracket, such that installation of mounting fasteners through the corresponding first and second mounting apertures of the front wall portion and the hinge bracket secures the latch body at the first angle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that provide and apply dynamic image filters to modify digital images over time to simulate a dynamical system. Such dynamic image filters can modify a digital image to progress through different frames depicting visual effects mimicking natural and/or artificial qualities of a fluid, gas, chemical, cloud formation, fractal, or various physical matters or phenomena according to a dynamic-simulation function. Upon detecting a selection of a dynamic image filter, the disclosed systems can identify a dynamic-simulation function corresponding to the dynamical system. Based on selecting a portion of the (or entire) digital image at which to apply the dynamic image filter, the disclosed systems incrementally modify the digital image across time steps to simulate the dynamical system according to the dynamic-simulation function.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for tracking objects in videos. For example, one or more embodiments described herein utilize various tracking methods in combination with an image search index made up of still video frames indexed from a video. One or more embodiments described herein utilize a backward and forward tracking method that is anchored by one or more key frames in order to accurately track an object through the frames of a video, even when the video is long and may include challenging conditions.

Abstract: The Learner Interaction Monitoring Systems (LiMS) is a web-based application that can interface with any web-based course delivery platform to transform the online learning environment into an active observer of learner engagement. The LiMS ‘event capture model’ collects detailed real-time data on learner behavior in self-directed online learning environments, and interprets these data by drawing on behavioral research. The LiMS offers education and training managers in corporate contexts a valuable tool for the evaluation of learner performance and course design. By allowing more detailed demonstration of ROI in education and training, LiMS allows managers to make the case for web based courseware that reflects appropriate and evidence-based instructional design, rather than budgetary constraints.

Abstract: A lip balm container includes a first container element that defines a first compartment configured to house a first portion of lip balm such that a second portion of the lip balm extends from the compartment, and a second container element connected to the first container element and moveable relative thereto between a closed and an open position. When in the closed position, the second container element covers the second portion of the mass of lip balm extending from the first compartment of the first container element, and in the open position, the second portion of the lip balm is exposed for use. The second container element remains connected to the first container element as the second container element is moved between the open and closed positions.
