Abstract: One way to improve fuel efficiency of a vehicle is to detect the vehicle operational shortcomings related to fuel consumption by determining whether fuel used during operation of the vehicle is normal fuel use or wasted fuel use. Considerations of idling, speeding and inappropriate gear shifts are some ways to measure the amount of fuel wasted due to operator shortcomings. Communicating this information to the operator in real-time so adjustments can be made will improve vehicle fuel efficiency. These techniques are applicable to tracking employment of other driving best practices as well.

Abstract: A multi-piece inboard beam assembly for use in a rotor blade assembly of a rotorcraft. The inboard beam assembly includes an inboard beam connected to an inboard beam fitting with an anti-rotational connection. The inboard beam is connected to a yoke via bearings and the inboard beam fitting is connected to a grip in a double shear condition. In use, the grip, the inboard beam fitting with the double shear connection, the inboard beam, a centrifugal force bearing held by the inboard beam, and the yoke carry the centrifugal force created upon rotation of the rotor blade assembly.

Abstract: A server maintains a gallery of ephemeral messages. Each ephemeral message is posted to the gallery by a user for viewing by recipients via recipient devices. In response to a gallery view request from any of the recipient devices, the ephemeral messages in the gallery are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message has an associated message availability parameter, at the expiry of which the ephemeral message is made unavailable for viewing as part of the gallery. At expiry of the message availability parameter of the last posted message, the gallery is made unavailable for viewing upon request by any recipient.

Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to maintain an ephemeral gallery of ephemeral messages, where each ephemeral message is a photograph or a video. An ephemeral message is posted to the ephemeral gallery. The ephemeral message has an associated message duration parameter and a gallery participation parameter. An ephemeral message is removed from the ephemeral gallery in response to the identification of an expired gallery participation parameter. The ephemeral gallery is eliminated upon expiration of either a gallery timer or upon expiration of the gallery participation parameter of a last message posted to the ephemeral gallery. The ephemeral gallery is preserved in response to a gesture applied to an indicium to save the ephemeral gallery to produce a preserved gallery.

Abstract: There is provided a process for producing proteins from the by-product streams arising from distillation processes, in particular the by-product stream known as “pot ale” or “burnt ale” and the use of such proteins as protein feed ingredients or food additives.

Abstract: An article of footwear including an upper, a midsole, a lateral stabilizing rail, and a medial stabilizing rail. The lateral stabilizing rail may be coupled to the upper and the midsole and extend from a forefoot portion of the article of footwear to a heel portion of the article of footwear. The medial stabilizing rail may be coupled to the upper and the midsole and extend from the forefoot portion of the article of footwear to the heel portion of the article of footwear. The lateral stabilizing rail and the medial stabilizing rail may be separate pieces capable deforming independently of each other.

Abstract: Articles of footwear including a thermo-molded upper having a skin composed of one or more low melting point thermoplastic polymers. The skin may include at least one of: a base layer composed of a low melting point thermoplastic polymer and a grid layer including a yarn composed of a low melting point thermoplastic polymer. The uppers may be formed by placing a skin and an inflatable bladder into a mold cavity and heating the mold to a predetermined temperature. The inflatable bladder may be inflated such that the skin is pressed against an interior surface of the heated mold cavity to cause the skin to take on the shape of the internal surface of the mold cavity, thereby forming an upper for an article of footwear.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems, devices, and computing-implemented methods for dynamically generating, at a website server, a webpage based on client device information received from the client device and transmitting the webpage to the client device. A dynamic content slot in the webpage can be filled, by the website server, based on receiving a request from the client device, and dynamic content can be obtained and transmitted to the client device. Dynamic content slots can be filled, at least in part, based on client device information and a first client device can receive different dynamic content than a second client device. Thus, the website server can control the dynamic content that appears on the website and, by sending the dynamic content via the website server, browsers of the client devices can identify the dynamic content as actual website content of the webpage.
