Abstract: Example implementations relate to deduplication operations in a storage system. An example includes receiving data units of a backup stream to be stored in a deduplication storage system; performing a first matching operation to match the data units against a first container index of a plurality of container indexes, where the plurality of container indexes comprise metadata indicating storage locations of data units previously stored in the persistent storage; calculating a first ratio indicating the amount of deduplication that occurred during the first matching operation against the first container index; and in response to a determination that the first ratio violates a condition with respect to local ratio history data of the first container index, identifying at least one portion of the backup stream as being potentially affected by a ransomware attack.

Abstract: A processing machine (10) for building an object (11) from powder (12) includes a build platform (26A); a powder supply assembly (18) that deposits the powder (12) onto the build platform (26A) to form a powder layer (13); and an energy system (22) that directs an energy beam (22D) at a portion of the powder (12) on the build platform (26A) to form a portion of the object (11). The powder supply assembly (18) can include (i) a powder container (640A) that retains the powder (12); (ii) a supply outlet (639) positioned over the build platform (26A); and (ii) a flow control assembly (642) that selectively controls the flow of the powder (12) from the supply outlet (639).

Abstract: A linear lighting device may include an elongated housing that defines a cavity. The linear lighting device may include plurality of emitter printed circuit boards configured to be received within the cavity. Each of the plurality of emitter printed circuit boards may include a plurality of emitter modules mounted thereto. Each of the plurality of emitter printed circuit boards may include a control circuit configured to control the plurality of emitter modules mounted to the respective emitter printed circuit board based on receipt of one or more messages. The linear lighting device may include a total internal reflection lens for each of the plurality of emitter printed circuit boards. The total internal reflection lens may be configured to diffuse light emitted by the emitter modules of the plurality of emitter printed circuit boards.

Abstract: An auxiliary bezel assembly includes first-side and second-side attachment structures, an auxiliary bezel, and a first-side and second-side attachment feature. The auxiliary bezel defines an auxiliary bezel display area and is connected to the first-side attachment structure at a first side of the auxiliary bezel display area and to the second-side attachment structure at a second side of the auxiliary bezel display area. When the auxiliary bezel is placed in an operating position on a video display device the auxiliary bezel display area overlays a portion of the video display area with the first-side attachment structure extending along a first edge of the display device and the second-side attachment structure extending along a second edge of the display device. The first-side and second-side attachment features each comprise an arrangement by which the respective attachment structure is connectable to the video display device.

Abstract: A tissue fixation system is provided for dynamic and rigid fixation of tissue. A fastener connected with an elongate fastening member, such as a cable, wire, suture, rod, or tube, is moved through a passage between opposite sides of tissue. A medical device is used to secure the fastener to the elongate fastening member. The medical device includes a tensioning mechanism for tensioning the elongate fastening member. As crimping mechanism is used to secure the fastener to the elongated member, where a cutting mechanism cut the excess portion of the elongated member.

Abstract: In one aspect, an orthosis for increasing range of motion of a body joint generally includes first and second dynamic force mechanisms for simultaneously applying a dynamic force to body portions on opposite sides of a body joint.

Abstract: A lift frame is mounted on a gaming machine compartment so as to be moveable between a lift frame latched position and a lift frame raised position along a lift axis defined within the compartment. A lift frame latch is operable to selectively retain the lift frame in the lift frame latched position. A pivot frame is pivotally mounted on the lift frame so as to be pivotable between a pivot frame latched position and a pivot frame raised position about a pivot axis defined at an upper end of the lift frame. A pivot frame latch operates between the pivot frame and lift frame to selectively retain the pivot frame in the pivot frame latched position but allow the pivot frame and a gaming machine panel mounted thereon to be pivoted so as to expose a compartment front opening and provide access to the compartment interior.

Abstract: The present invention is a container system comprised of a ridged container, a dispenser that can be secured to a receptacle that is integral to the container and a closure, various methods of manufacturing the container and automated means of placing the dispenser on the receptacle. The container system is generally intended to store dry or granulated substances. The container has an integral receptacle to stow the dispenser. The receptacle has indexing features to aid automation. The dispenser has a coupling feature that engages the receptacle of the container as well guiding features to direct its travel during automation. The dispenser becomes trapped on the receptacle when the closure is in place. The means of automation uses the indexing features on the receptacle to orient the container and the guiding features on the dispenser to direct the dispenser onto the receptacle.
