Abstract: A vacuum chambered beverage producer with an upper hopper and a lower hopper stacked together to create separate sealed chambers. The upper hopper has a flavor adjustment valve and the lower hopper has a flavor adjustment valve attached near drain holes which can be adjusted to open or close to any size of diameter to increase or decrease the strength and flavor of a finished flavored beverage produced therein. The lower hopper has a breather trough, a recessed area generally located on the bottom of the lower hopper, so that it can fit onto various sizes of receptacles making it universal to many applications. The stackable beverage producer further having a removable lid with a hole generally located in the middle of the lid with a lid hole cover that opens or closes the hole to any size of diameter, and a removable base used in the storage mode.

Abstract: The Fleetwide Adaptive Rate Limiting Gatekeeper Apparatuses, Processes and Systems (“FARLG”) transforms API call permission request, API call result request datastructure/inputs via FARLG components into API call permission response, API call result response outputs. An API call permission request datastructure associated with an API call of an application structured to identify an API and a set of scopes is obtained. A retry-after interval is determined for each scope in the set of scopes, in which existence of a retry-after interval for a scope indicates that the API previously returned a throttled response for the scope. A wait duration associated with the API call is determined as the maximum retry-after interval across retry-after intervals that exist for the set of scopes. An API call permission response datastructure structured to specify the wait duration is provided.

Abstract: A backlight includes a substrate, a plurality of light sources, a reflective layer, a first diffuser plate, a second diffuser plate, and a color conversion layer. The plurality of light sources are proximate the substrate. The reflective layer is proximate the substrate. The first diffuser plate is over the plurality of light sources. The color conversion layer is between the first diffuser plate and the second diffuser plate.

Abstract: A system includes a communication module that receives a request to post content to an event gallery associated with an event. The request in turn includes geo-location data for a device sending the content, and identification data identifying the device or a user of the device. The system further has an event gallery module to perform a first authorization operation that includes determining that the geo-location data corresponds to a geo-location fence associated with an event. The event gallery module also performs a second authorization operation that includes using the identification data to verify an attribute of the user. Finally, based on the first and second authorization operations, the event gallery module may selectively authorize the device to post the content to the event gallery.

The identified individuals are compared to the user's caseload information, and the user is granted access to part of the video of the individual under care, the video of the other individuals is blurred, and the resulting video is transmitted to the user's caseload for viewing. Data fields of an information request are populated using formatted data from the video information.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a beam current profile that eliminates variations that are not position dependent is disclosed. The system includes two Faraday sensors; one which is moved across the ion beam and a second that remains at or near a certain location. The reference Faraday sensor is used to measure temporal variations in the beam current, while the movable Faraday sensor measures both the position dependent variations and the temporal variations. By combining these measurements, the actual position dependent variations of the scanned ion beam can be determined. This resultant beam current profile can then be used to control the scan speed of the electrostatic or magnetic scanner.
