Abstract: In one aspect, a reconfigurable apparatus includes a first configuration, where the first configuration of the reconfigurable apparatus serves as a packaging box for a backpack. Specifically, the backpack may be folded and inserted inside the reconfigurable apparatus with the first configuration. The reconfigurable apparatus also includes a second configuration, where the second configuration of the reconfigurable apparatus serves as a structure for the backpack. Specifically, the reconfigurable apparatus with the second configuration can be inserted inside the backpack to provide an internal structure for the backpack.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-executable instructions for collecting traffic data from devices. A data collection node determines a scanning algorithm. Multiple channels of a spectrum are scanning simultaneously. An advertising packet is detected on a channel. A MAC address is extracted from the advertising packet and at least one byte is removed from the MAC address. An identifier is created based on the reduced MAC address. A message including the identifier, RSSI of the advertising packet and timestamp is sent to a remote server. The remote server uses the received data from multiple data collection units to create traffic data associated with devices.

Abstract: A decorative panel including a substrate material and decorative top layer, wherein the decorative top layer includes at least one timber layer, wherein the timber layer is a compressed timber layer with a permanent increased density as compared to an original timber layer, wherein the decorative panel is a square or rectangular floor panel which, at, at least one pair of opposite edges, or at both pairs, includes mechanical coupling allowing to couple two of such floor panels to each other such that a locking is created in a vertical direction perpendicular to a plane of the coupled panels, as well as in a horizontal direction perpendicular to a coupled edge and in the plane of the coupled panels, the mechanical coupling being in the substrate material.

Abstract: A compression die configured to crimp a composite core is disclosed. The compression die includes an outer body having a tool engaging surface, and an inner body coupled to the outer body. The inner body has a crimping area, wherein the crimping area of the inner body includes ten planar surfaces. The ten planar surfaces are positioned at an angle with respect to an adjacent planar surface such that the combination of the ten planar surfaces form a decagon shaped channel. Crimping is performed by the compression die by inserting the composite core into an encasing connector, which is then inserted into the decagon shaped channel of the compression die. A radial force towards the center of the decagon shaped channel is applied until an outer circumference of the encasing connector containing the composite core fully engages a surface area of each of the ten planar surfaces.

Abstract: A decorative panel including a substrate material and a decorative top layer, wherein the decorative top layer includes at least one timber layer with a wood structure, wherein the timber layer is a compressed timber layer with naturally occurring vessels throughout a thickness of the wood structure, the vessels being collapsed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to managing concurrent updates on data. A transactional update on at least one record within a data set is detected. A log is generated for the transactional update, the log including an image of the at least one record within the data set before the transactional update. A batch update is detected. A determination is made whether the batch update collides with the transactional update by referencing the log. In response to determining that the batch update collides with the transactional update, a collision policy is referenced. A collision action indicated in the collision policy is then issued.

Abstract: An intelligent monitor system for monitoring an injection mold or stamping die includes sensors, logic and communication paths for improving usability and reliability during monitoring. In one aspect, a monitor can be configured to not only monitor a production cycle count and/or cycle time of an injection mold or stamping die, but also analyze operations of the injection mold or stamping die to adapt to the system. The monitor can analyze, for example, temperatures, pressures, vibrations, location, and/or flow control, among other things, at various points, with flexibility for adding additional monitoring on the fly, to adapt various functions, such as reporting frequency, communication method, power conservation, and the like. The monitor can utilize multiple radios for communicating with a data center, including but not limited to, via relays and/or gateways, to ensure reliable operation.
