Abstract: A seismic base for an equipment rack includes a base plate, a first side wall attached to the base plate, a second side wall attached to the base plate, the second side wall being positioned behind the first side wall in a longitudinal direction, an anti-tip support bar extending between the first and second side walls in the longitudinal direction, and a support beam extending in a lateral direction, between the anti-tip support bar and a first lateral wall of the first and second side walls, respectively. The seismic base resists translatory and/or pivoting movements (e.g., of the equipment rack to which the seismic base is attached) in or about, respectively, the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction.

Abstract: A platform can receive information regarding a user interaction, wherein the user interaction is associated with one or more channels that correspond to respective interfaces or media for the user interaction; retrieve supplemental information associated with the user interaction, wherein the supplemental information relates to at least one of: a state of a managed device associated with the user interaction, or a previous user interaction; identify, based on the information regarding the user interaction or the one or more channels, one or more models to process the information regarding the user interaction and the supplemental information, wherein the one or more models are identified from a plurality of models; determine, using the one or more models, an action to be performed with regard to the user interaction; and provide information identifying the action.

Abstract: Components having fibre-reinforced composite structures are disclosed. The component comprises a plurality of structural fibres embedded in a cured matrix material and a plurality of nanostructures such as carbon nanotubes extending from one or more of the structural fibres. In some embodiments a density of the nanostructures is at least 107 nanostructures per cm2 of surface area of the one or more structural fibres. In some embodiments, the nanostructures extend from an outer fibre proximal to an outer surface of the component but not from an inner fibre distal from the outer surface. In some embodiments the one or more structural fibres from which the nanostructures extend are free of a sizing agent.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a summer suitable for subtracting a filtered feedback signal from an input; a symbol decision device suitable for receiving an output from the summer; a feedback filter suitable for filtering an output from the symbol decision device and for sending the filtered feedback signal to the summer, the feedback filter comprising an adjustable swing amplifier and an adjustable pole filter; and an adaptation algorithm suitable for simultaneously adapting both a pole setting and a swing setting based upon a least mean squared error criteria. The summer, the symbol decision device, and the feedback filter form a feedback circuit utilized to reconstruct an electrical signal distorted during transmission.

Abstract: The application discloses a systems and methods for automatically managing and allocating funds deposited in one or more financial accounts owned by the user. The system allows the user to specify and dynamically modify multiple savings goals and to associate each goal with a savings account. As the user makes deposits or withdrawals from an account, the amount of funds allocated to each of the goals associated with the account are automatically adjusted based on the user's relative preferences for the goals as automatically inferred from the user's interactions with the system. The system may also provide incentive rewards to users as they meet interim subgoals or complete a goal to induce users to successfully achieve their savings goals.

Abstract: A system and method of reducing skew between a plurality of signals transmitted with a transmit clock is described. Skew is detected between the received transmit clock and each of received data signals. Delay is added to the clock or to one or more of the plurality of data signals to compensate for the detected skew. The delay added to each of the plurality of delayed signals is updated to adapt to changes in detected skew.
