Abstract: A test application programming interface (API) request may be issued to a test service implementation. A test API response, which is responsive to the test API request, may be received from the test service implementation. First contents of the test API response may be compared to second contents of a control API response. The comparing may be performed based at least in part on a set of one or more expected differences associated with the test API response and the control API response. It may be determined, based on the comparing, whether an unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response. An indication may be provided of whether the unexpected difference exists between the test API response and the control API response, and the unexpected difference may be automatically corrected, such as via one or more configuration changes.

Abstract: Presented are finger-proof electrical terminals for battery assemblies, methods for making/using such electrical terminals, and vehicles with battery modules having finger-proof electrical terminals for bolted busbar connections. A battery assembly includes one or more electrochemical battery cells and one or more electrical terminals each electrically connected to the battery cell(s) and having a contact face to electrically connect the battery assembly to an electrical connector. A threaded nut attaches each electrical terminal to one of the electrical connectors. An electrically insulating nut cap is attached to each threaded nut. A battery housing, which stores therein the battery cell(s), includes an electrically insulating housing wall with one or more terminal jackets each mounting therein one of the electrical terminals.

Abstract: A picture-frame system for securement to a flat-surface. The picture-frame system includes a first-layer defined by a first front-surface and a first rear-surface having adhesive thereon; and a second-layer defined by a second front-surface and a second rear-surface having an adhesive thereon. The picture-frame system is useful for displaying a plurality of different size/shape pictures in one picture frame.

Abstract: A system for providing additional content to a program stream includes a primary program stream, additional content that is related to the primary program stream, and a server for associating the additional content with the primary program stream based on a location of a portable communication device.

Abstract: A method for tracking information about a visitor to a website, such as how the user arrived at the website, geographical location of the user, operating system, screen size, etc. The information is used to present optimized pages for the user based on similar user preferences. The preferences are gathered from repeated behaviors of similar users. The goal is to present links in the most favorable and relevant format possible so that users click on the links.

Abstract: A self check out/check in terminal is disclosed for facilitating independent withdrawal or return of articles having article identifying indicia on opposing surfaces thereof, and alterable security indicia for indicating the circulation status of the article. The terminal comprises first and second readers disposed at space opposed locations and operative to read the plurality of article identifying indicia and generate first and second article identifying signals in response thereto. Processing circuitry is provided in electrical communication with the readers and includes comparator circuitry for receiving the first and second article identifying signals and for generating a third signal when said first and second article identifying signals are substantially identical. Security indicia control circuitry is provided for altering the security indicia upon the article in response to the generation of the third signal.
