Abstract: A control device includes a housing having a base portion and an extension portion. The base portion of the housing has an inward facing side and an outward facing side. The control device includes a lever coupled to and pivotable relative to the housing, and a master cylinder portion supported by the housing. The master cylinder portion has a hollow fluid cylinder. The control device also includes a piston assembly supported by the housing. The piston assembly is movable relative to the master cylinder portion. At least part of the piston assembly is disposed within the master cylinder portion. The master cylinder portion is angled relative to the outward facing side of the base portion of the housing, such that the first end of the fluid cylinder is closer to the outward facing side than the second end of the fluid cylinder is relative to the outward facing side.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide for the transfer of data between electronic devices utilizing a network clipboard. According to various embodiments described herein, a clipboard application residing on a host device associated with a user transmits data from a local clipboard of the host device to a remote network clipboard via a network. A clipboard application associated with a target device associated with the user transmits a request for the data stored on the network clipboard. A copy of the data associated with the user is retrieved from the network clipboard and stored on a local clipboard of the target device. The data is then copied to a target application. This process results from a single network clipboard transaction that includes a cut or copy action on the host device and a paste action on the target device.

Abstract: A measurement apparatus for measuring levels and plumb of items with offset dimensions comprises a base, a cross member, and a slide bracket. The cross member may have a shaft and a slide. The shaft may be rotatable around the base. The slide may move along on the shaft. The slide bracket may be connected to the base and the shaft. The cross member and the slide bracket may be slidable inside the slot of the base.

Abstract: Included are embodiments for providing data. At least one embodiment of a method includes receiving a request at a web browser configured to send data via a first socket and sending the request to a COM module that is configured to send data via a second socket, the second socket being different than the first socket. Similarly, some embodiments include receiving at least a portion of requested data via the second socket, such that a continuous connection is established via the second socket and providing for display, at the web browser, at least a portion of the received data.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems, methods, and computer-readable media provide for the management of communication modes to facilitate network communications. According to various embodiments described herein, any number of communication methods are categorized into communication modes and communication types. A party sending a communication may choose a method of communicating with a receiving party according to the desired communication mode and type. A network communication application determines the proper routing for the communication according to any number of communication rules and presence information associated with the receiving party.

Abstract: A pile fabric of stitch bonded construction. A ground yarn is stitchbonded into a substrate to define a ground layer. A pile yarn is stitchbonded into the substrate in combination with the ground yarn. During formation at least a portion of the pile yarns are shifted over sinker fingers between non-adjacent needles such that loops extend in arching relation over at least one intermediate needle line. Once the yarns have been stitchbonded into the substrate, the upstanding loops are subjected to a napping treatment wherein the loops are pulled away from the substrate until broken. An arrangement of split and frayed yarn ends is formed over the ground layer.
