Abstract: A visual scripting system can provide support for handling event-specific messages received through an event messaging system. The messaging system can provide event messages over one or more event buses that have a determined behavior context. An event node of a visual scripting system can enable a developer to specify event handlers to detect specific types of event notifications sent on a specified event bus, as well as specific actions to be taken in response to those event notifications, such as to send additional event messages, all of which comply with the behavior context. Once the event node is configured and properties and actions defined, the corresponding script can be generated by the visual scripting system, to be complied and executed as part of a user application.

Abstract: The present invention relates to macrocyclic compounds which are capable of selective binding to a target saccharide (e.g. glucose), making them particularly well suited for use in saccharide sensing applications. The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation of said compounds, to compositions and devices comprising them, and to their use in the detection of a target saccharide.

Abstract: Dry pumps are used to pump a variety of gas mixtures from the semiconductor industry. The present invention provides a liquid ring pump located between the dry pump and an abatement device to remove soluble corrosive materials prior to the exhaust gases entry to the abatement device, the work fluid exhausted from the liquid ring pump being separated from the gas prior to entry to the abatement device.

Abstract: A vacuum pumping system which comprises a plurality of vacuum pumping arrangements for evacuating a flammable gas stream and exhausting the gas stream through an exhaust outlet. A housing houses the vacuum pumping arrangements and forms an air flow duct for an air flow for mixing with the exhaust gas stream output from the exhaust outlet in a mixing region in the housing. An airflow generator generates an air flow through the air flow duct to cause mixing of air with the flammable gas stream to a percentage of the flammable gas in the air flow lower than the lower flammability limit of the flammable gas. An airflow sensor senses the flow of air for determining if the air flow is sufficient to dilute the flammable gas to lower than said percentage.

Abstract: A pressurized air vacuum cleaning device that is useful for the purpose of cleaning the inside cabin of a motorized vehicle is exhibited. The power source for the suction of the vacuum is derived from the onboard pressurized air that is commonly available on motorized vehicles such as trucks and work vehicles. A vacuum chamber is disposed in communication with the pressurized air system of the vehicle, which channels pressurized air by a venturi to create useful vacuum suction from the existing flow of air. The suction is channeled to the cabin of the vehicle, within a front pipe disposed under the floor of the cabin, which houses a vacuum hose for use by a user to clean debris from the cabin. The hose is concealed beneath a cover plate on the floor, which is lifted up by the user, simultaneously activating the suction to the vacuum hose upon lifting.

Abstract: The formation of a 3D Immersive Cloud Environment (ICE) that can be displayed to a user to form a user interface where the data is easy to understand and interact with by the user. The techniques described herein take a large number of discrete data elements and generates the ICE from the discrete data elements by determining a relative layout placement of the discrete data elements and determining a spherical layout positioning of the discrete data elements. The ICE is then displayed to the user. The techniques described herein permit the efficient display of large amounts of data in an interactive user interface utilizing some or the entire Field of Regard (FoR) rendering space that is available around the user. The displayed data may maintain a relative order, does not require complex hierarchies, and can include spatial cues to efficiently convey information to the user.

Abstract: A tinting machine (1) comprising one or more dispenser heads for dispensing colorant into a paint container (3), the one or more dispenser heads comprising a fluid outlet (16) for discharging the colorant into the paint container (3), an internal chamber (19) opening in the fluid outlet, and a piston (25) that is longitudinally and movably arranged inside the internal chamber. An outer side surface of the piston and the inner surface of the internal chamber define an annular space (29) and the piston comprises a circumventional protrusion (26) defining a constriction (28) in the annular space. By supplying cleaning fluid to the internal chamber and moving the piston between a first and a second position, the internal chamber can be cleaned from residual colorant with a small amount of cleaning fluid. The invention further relates to a method for dispensing one or more colorants into a paint container using such tinting machine.

Each of the internal switches are connected to the network hosts with a folded Clos topology.

Abstract: Systems and methods for Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) rank reduction to improve downlink throughput are disclosed. A method of operation of a radio access node includes determining that an imbalance between parallel channels of a spatial multiplexing downlink transmission to a wireless device is greater than an imbalance threshold and/or that a Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) rate over time for the parallel channels of a spatial multiplexing downlink transmission reported by the wireless device is greater than a NACK rate threshold. The method also includes, in response to determining that the imbalance between the parallel channels is greater than the imbalance threshold and/or that the NACK rate is greater than the NACK rate threshold, performing a fast rank reduction for a next downlink transmission whereby a rank is reduced from a rank indicator reported by the wireless device to some lower rank. Reducing the rank may improve downlink throughput.
