Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for creating custom user interface (“UI”) controls. A networked computing service may determine that an action performed by a user of the service is likely to be repeated, based on previous actions performed by the user and/or other users, parameters of the action including characteristics of an item associated with the action, and other criteria. The networked computing service may generate, or recommend generation of, a custom UI control that automates performance of the action. The networked computing service may automatically determine parameters of the action, and may determine alternative parameters and/or alternative actions if the action cannot be performed using the determined parameters. Custom UI controls may be associated with various computing devices and/or other electronic devices, and categories of custom UI controls may be determined and displayed.

Abstract: An asymmetric Stockbridge damper having at least six and as many as ten resonant frequencies. The damper includes two assemblies, each having a primary weight at the end of a messenger cable and two secondary weights at the ends of thin beams. The thin beams are mounted at one end to the primary weight and each support a secondary weight at an opposite end. The thin beams extend parallel to the messenger cable. The messenger cable is affixed to a clamp assembly which clamps to an overhead transmission line. The clamp assembly includes a toggle crank generating a theoretically infinite clamping force on the transmission line.

Abstract: A metrology apparatus uses radiation (304) in an EUV waveband. A first detection system (333) includes a spectroscopic grating (312) and a detector (313) for capturing a spectrum of the EUV radiation after interaction with a target (T). Properties of the target are measured by analyzing the spectrum. The radiation (304) further includes radiation in other wavebands such as VUV, DUV, UV, visible and IR. A second detection system (352, 372, 382) is arranged to receive at least a portion of radiation (350) reflected by the first spectroscopic grating and to capture a spectrum (SA) in one or more of said other wavebands. The second waveband spectrum can be used to enhance accuracy of the measurement based on the EUV spectrum, and/or it can be used for a different measurement. Other types of detection, such as polarization can be used instead or in addition to spectroscopic gratings.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for developing, debugging, and growing workflows. Embodiments enable the developer to test the workflow in place in a workflow designer that displays input/output parameter values for each workflow step during the test run. The developer is enabled to toggle the workflow step(s) between a development mode, where the developer may edit input parameter values, and a test mode, where the developer is displayed (but cannot edit) the input parameter values and is displayed the output parameter values at each workflow step. A record of workflow runs of a workflow is also maintained. The developer is also enabled to transition a workflow from being a business application to a robust software application having additional functionality. The workflow logic generated is transported between a visual workflow designer and a full-blown code editor.

Abstract: A device for selectively grasping a part of a separate elongated body extending through the device, includes at least three partially mobile jaw members defining between them a through hole of variable diameter depending on their mutual relative positioning, supporting and driving elements to which the jaw members are mounted and which are adapted to provide a coordinated motion to the members around the elongated body situated in the variable through hole, resulting in a closing or opening of the through hole. The jaw members have an elongated shape with two opposed ends and the supporting and driving elements include a circular or annular support body to which a first end of each jaw member is connected and a mobile annular driving body to which a second opposed end of each jaw member is connected.

Abstract: A system and associated method for monitoring and reporting productivity in an enterprise environment. The enterprise environment has a server, a database, a client program and a web interface. The database stores transaction data and administration data. The transaction data stores records of time spent by an end user to perform a certain volume of work for a transaction. The administration data configures operations of the client program per transaction. The client program records a time log and provides an interface to upload a volume log of the transaction. The end user or an administrative user manages content of the database via web interface. The server processes a respective request for recording transaction time and volume log and subsequently generates a productivity report including efficiency, availability, and utilization values based on the transaction data in the database.

Abstract: Multilayer ceramic capacitors based on Bi(Zn,Ti)O3—BaTiO3 dielectrics can be integrated with wide band gap power electronics. The large permittivity values can be stable with both voltage and temperature; combined with the low equivalent series resistance typical of ceramic capacitors, these characteristics make the materials extremely attractive for high operating temperature inverter applications. In addition, the high resistivity values and large activation energies provide reliability over a long capacitor lifetime.
