Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems for filtering entities within a database. One method includes identifying a user-defined query, wherein the user-defined query comprises multiple user-defined segment definitions, wherein an original format of each of the user-defined segment definitions includes logical filters, mapping each logical filter to one or more of the user-defined segment definitions, executing each of the logical filters on entities of the database, wherein each of the logical filters is executed a single time, storing filtered results in a mapped format based on the executing of the logical filters according to the mapping in the database, converting from the mapped format into the original format of the user-defined segment definitions that represents the set of entities that qualify for user-defined segments, identifying which entities qualify to be included within the user-defined segment definitions comprising logically combining the conditions and the condition groups.

Abstract: Embodiments include a vehicle turntable comprising a central hub communicatively coupled to a control unit for receiving control signals; a plurality of wedge-shaped panels radially coupled to the central hub so as to form a circular surface; a plurality of wheels coupled to a number of the plurality of panels; and at least one motor configured to drive a corresponding one of the plurality of wheels and to receive the control signals from the central hub. Embodiments also include a system comprising a first turntable hub configured to control operation of a first turntable; and a control unit communicatively coupled to the first turntable hub to provide control signals to the first turntable hub.

Abstract: A magnetic flow meter includes a first spud end, a second spud end, and a sensing area positioned between the first spud end and the second spud end. The sensing area has a wall thickness that is thinner than a thickness of the first spud end and the second spud end. The flow meter can be manufactured via molding while a plug is positioned in at least two holes of the magnetic flow meter. The flow meter can also be manufactured to have a near hermetic seal formed by inserting a flexible printed circuit board in a slit of a gasket and then either compressing a register cup surrounding the tube gasket or driving a pin into a center pin around which the tube gasket is positioned.

Abstract: A remote battery access device for remotely and conveniently positioning the battery of a smoke detector from the smoke detector. The remote battery access device includes a battery module having a battery holder shaped to retain the battery. The remote battery access device may also include an electrical connector for electrically connecting the battery module to the smoke detector and a plurality of wires connecting the electrical connector with the battery module, which permit the smoke detector to be disposed remotely from the battery module.

Abstract: Multimodal polyolefin polymers may be prepared in series-connected polymerization reactors where a prior reactor is a slurry reactor employing light solvent as the slurry medium and hydrogen to limit polymer molecular weight, the polymer product from the prior reactor being substantially freed of hydrogen prior to entry into a subsequent polymerization reactor operating at low hydrogen pressure to produce a high molecular weight olefin. The economics and operating performance of such a series slurry reactor polyethylene process can be significantly improved through the use of an intermediate slurry transfer system and hydrogen removal apparatus that employs flash drums in series in conjunction with a warm recycle solvent slurry diluent.

Abstract: A connecting device for secure attachment of an end of a pulling tape or other article includes a body having a first arm and a second arm opposing each other across an opening defined by the body and extending into the body from a distal end of the body; a first cross member extending across the opening from the first arm to the second arm; and a second cross member extending across the opening from the first arm to the second arm and closer to the distal end of the body than the first cross member. The first and second cross members are configured and arranged to provide attachment of the article by wrapping a portion of the article around the first and second cross members.
