Abstract: A computing device receives user input specifying a first dimension data field and a second dimension data field. The device constructs a dimension subquery according to characteristics of the first dimension data field, the second dimension data field, a first object to which the first dimension data field belongs, and/or a second object to which the second dimension data field belongs, including determining a join type for combining (i) first data rows that include data values of the first dimension data field and (ii) second data rows that include data values of the second dimension data field. The device constructs the dimension subquery according to the determined join type, and executes the dimension subquery to retrieve first tuples. The device constructs measure subqueries and executes the measure subqueries to retrieve second tuples. The device forms extended tuples, and generates and displays the data visualization according to the extended tuples.

Abstract: A flame simulating assembly is provided with a reflected flickering light that includes only one light source. Light from the light source passes through a rotating flicker element onto one or more reflectors, or mirrors, that reflect light up onto a simulated fuel bed and the some of the light is reflected off of the flicker elements towards a flame screen to create a simulated flame. The dipping flicker elements creates a fluttering light effect due to the flicker elements “intermittently dipping” into the light path. This fluctuating light is reflected onto the logs and ember bed in front and creates a dancing effect, which simulates glowing embers.

Abstract: A novel gas flame simulating assembly includes a fire media bed, a rear projection lighting system for flame effect on a rear imaging wall and a clear specular reflective panel which is clear enough to allow the viewer to see through it to see the flame simulation on the rear imaging wall, but reflective enough to specularly reflect the fire media bed to increase the perceived depth of the fire media bed and allow the flame effect to appear to arise up through the middle of the reflected media bed. The assembly may further include a forward lighting system to illuminate the underside of the fire media bed and an internal light shield which compartmentalizes the front and rear lighting systems so that the lighting colors do not bleed into one another. This flame simulating assembly may be utilized in fully assembled insert constructions or ready to assembly insert constructions.

Abstract: As disclosed herein, a preservation system for perishable products in a display case comprises a control valve for connection to a water supply. A pressure regulator is connected to the control valve for reducing water pressure. A plurality of piezoelectric transducer nebulizers are operatively mounted to the display case in spaced apart relation to one another and are fluidically connected in series with an output of the pressure regulator to emit a dry fog. A control system comprises a controller for controlling a duty cycle of a pulse signal to vibrate the piezoelectric transducers in the plurality of nebulizers, and a timer for alternately generating an on and an off signal to periodically control the valve to supply water to the pressure regulator and to enable the controller whereby the nebulizers emit the dry fog to maintain desired relative humidity level throughout the display case.

Abstract: Center height adjustable shooting sticks feature a first leg, a second leg, a center column, an assembly collar, a locking mechanism, a quick release mechanism, and a yoke. The first and second legs are telescopically adjustable and include twist locks and feet. The center column, in some examples, is coupled to the first and second legs by the assembly collar, wherein the height of the center column is adjustable by means of a locking mechanism such as a twist lock. The adjustable height of the center column enables a user of any stature, whether seated or standing, to modify the field the view without readjusting the first and second legs.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the disclosed technology involves a system having a generator set comprising a first engine and an output terminal coupled to a power distributor, a load comprising two or more sub-loads, wherein each of the sub-loads are coupled to the power distributor via one or more respective electrical contactors, and a controller communicably coupled to the electrical contactors and the generator set comprising a processor, and a memory, the memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor cause operations. The operations may include determining a number of sub-loads available, receiving data representing power generation of the generator set, determining which of the available sub-loads to connect in order to balance the generator set to the load, and controlling the respective electrical contactors of the determined sub-loads so as to provide electricity to the determined sub-loads.
