Abstract: A system and method for using weather applied metrics for determining the impact of weather conditions on the flight of a ball at an outdoor sports venue. Historical and current data for weather parameters, including wind, air pressure, humidity, temperature, and precipitation, are obtained to calculate the influence of each parameter on the flight of a ball. The influences of each of the parameters are summed to model the flight of the ball based on the current weather conditions. Weather instruments, such as weather sensors, anemometers, LiDAR and SODAR devices, weather consoles, data routing devices, and processors can be included in a system for using weather applied metrics to predict the flight of a ball based on current weather conditions.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for a digital collaborative workspace system. The system includes a server-side network node having a communication module, a processor and a database accessible thereto. The database can store a shared digital workspace. The server-side network node can include logic to send a display identification code (DIC) to a client-side network node such as a display client for display of the DIC. The system can detect an input from a user identifying a shared digital workspace, and a requested DIC. The system can start a collaboration by sending data of the shared digital workspace to the client-side network node.

Abstract: An anti-sway bar assembly for a vehicle. The anti-sway bar assembly including: a first anti-sway bar member associated, at a first end thereof, with a first wheel of the vehicle; a second anti-sway bar member associated, at a first end thereof, with an opposed second wheel of the vehicle; and a connection assembly associated with a second end of each of the first anti-sway bar member and the second anti-sway bar member, the connection assembly configured for movement between a use condition in which the first anti-sway bar member and the second anti-sway bar member are connected to one another, and a released condition in which the first anti-sway bar member and the second anti-sway bar member are disconnected from one another.

Abstract: A hydraulic anti-sway bar disconnect system for locking and unlocking movement of an anti-sway bar of a vehicle, the system including an actuable control valve for controlling the movement of a working fluid within the system, at least one cylinder and piston assembly connected to the anti-sway bar having a working fluid connection port at both ends of the cylinder, a working fluid reservoir in fluid connection with the working fluid connection ports on the at least one cylinder via the actuable control valve whereby the actuable control valve is operable to maintain the system in a locked condition whereby working fluid in the cylinder maintains the piston substantially in position and an unlocked condition in which the actuable control valve allows the working fluid in the cylinder to exit the cylinder giving the piston free travel in the cylinder.

Abstract: Presented herein are techniques for automatically generating information about risks associated with browser extensions used by browsers in an enterprise network for purposes of determining whether to whitelist a browser extension in response to a request from a user. A request to install a browser extension is obtained from a user device of a plurality of user devices associated with an organization, wherein the request comprises an extension identifier for the browser extension. A risk score is generated for the browser extension based on risk values for each of one or more permissions requested by the browser extension. The risk score is compared to a threshold value to determine whether the browser extension satisfies risk standards of the organization, and if so, the browser extension is automatically added to a whitelist of permitted extensions for future installation on the plurality of user devices.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for extracting one or more chemical extracts from a plant product. The chemical extracts are purified and extracted by first separating at least a phytochemical bearing part of a plant product from one or more other portions of the plant product. A carrier oil is then heated at a target temperature to be used as the vehicle for extraction and then mixed with the at least a phytochemical bearing part while the target temperature is maintained. The process may be streamlined by having heating and mixing occur in a press device. The mixed carrier oil and the at least a phytochemical bearing part are then passed through the press device to produce an oil mixture. At least a chemical extract may be extracted from the oil mixture, and in some cases may be further purified by evaporation and/or centrifugation.

Abstract: A computing system may be configured to implement a plurality of agents each associated with a predetermined number of CPU cores and a predetermined amount of memory and to receive requests to perform tasks. A request may specify the number of CPU cores and amount of memory for performing the task. Allocation of resources may include determining multiple allocation profiles, each describing a possible allocation of cores and memory to the task from currently available CPU cores and memory associated with the agents. For each agent and for each of said allocation profiles, respective efficiency measures for memory usage and CPU usage may be calculated. An allocation profile may be selected using said calculated memory usage and CPU usage efficiency measures.
