  • Publication number: 20210089977
    Abstract: An enterprise management platform is configured to host a respective instance for multiple client networks. The enterprise management platform receives incoming data including one or more metrics being tracked in the incoming data by the enterprise management platform. The enterprise management platform determines that a condition is reached based on the one or more metrics and selects at least a portion of the incoming data for a dashboard of the enterprise management platform responsive to determining that the incoming data is indicative of the condition being reached. The enterprise management platform provides, to a client device associated with one of the plurality of client networks, a representation of a graphical user interface displaying a data insights widget of the dashboard that displays the data indicative of the condition being reached without displaying other data in the incoming data that has not reached a level indicative of other conditions.

  • Patent number: 10947913
    Abstract: An evaporative emissions control system configured for use with a vehicle fuel tank includes a purge canister, an accelerometer, first and second vent tubes that terminate at first and second vent openings, a first vent valve, a second vent valve, a vent shut-off assembly and a control module. The accelerometer senses acceleration in an x, y and z axis. The first vent valve is fluidly coupled to the first vent tube. The second vent valve is fluidly coupled to the second vent tube. The vent shutoff assembly selectively opens and closes the first and second valves. The control module estimates a location of liquid fuel based on the sensed acceleration from the accelerometer and determines which vent opening is one of submerged and about to be submerged based on the estimated location of the liquid fuel. The control module closes the vent valve associated with the determined vent opening.

  • Patent number: 10940072
    Abstract: A surgical table includes a sagittal adjustment device for manipulating the position of a patient. The surgical table includes a base portion including an upper surface for spacing the sagittal adjustment device from the ground. The sagittal adjustment device includes a first support portion and a second support portion. The first and second support portions are supported by and moveable over the upper surface of the base portion. The first and second support portions each include an upper surface configured to support portions of the body of the patient thereon. One of the first and second support portions is pivotally attached to the base portion, and moveable between a first position and a second position. The pivotal movement between the first and second positions of the one of the first and second portions serves in repositioning the body of patient to manipulate the spine of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20210063016
    Abstract: A combustor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes a dome having a forward surface and an inner surface. The forward surface and the inner surface of the dome at least partially define a slot. The combustor assembly also includes a liner at least partially defining a combustion chamber and extending between an aft end and a forward end. The forward end of the liner is positioned within the slot of the dome. The forward end of the liner includes an axial interface surface and a radial interface surface. The axial interface surface defines a radial gap with the inner surface of the dome and the radial interface surface defines an axial gap with the forward surface of the dome. At least one of the radial gap or the axial gap is less than about 0.150 inches during operating conditions of the combustor assembly to prevent an undesirable airflow.

  • Patent number: 10936955
    Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for determining network-accessible content changes based on computed models and providing a long term forecast of user interaction at a network accessible site based upon a short term experiment at the site. A forecast model for a period of time is generated based upon historical data of user interactions at the site. An experiment is run for a short term at the site based upon a potential change at the site. Based upon data obtained during the experiment, scores are generated for a control group (no change) and a treatment group (potential change) and compared. If there are statistically significant differences between the control group and the treatment group scores, the long term forecast may be used to forecast what the long term impact of the experiment would be based upon the short term experiment.

  • Publication number: 20210054695
    Abstract: A drill bit comprises a first and a second body received within the first body. Each of the first body and second body has a respective crown, each crown having an inner and an outer operative circumference. The outer operative circumference of the second body and the inner operative circumference of the first body can define a first volume that can receive a tubular core sample. The second body can define a break surface that breaks the tubular core sample into core pieces. The drill bit can be employed in a borehole with a reverse circulation system that pumps fluid around an outer surface of the bit, and returning fluid can carry the core pieces out of the borehole.

  • Patent number: 10912687
    Abstract: The embodiments described and claimed herein are a restraint system for securing a gurney in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a conventional antler and rail-type gurney restraint system is improved by the addition of a center latch restraint that engages with a latch member secured by a support bracket to the underside of the gurney. In one configuration, the latch member enters into engagement with the center latch restraint through lateral movement of the control end of the gurney. In that respect, the EMT may use the same autonomic movements used with the conventional antler and rail-type system to secure the gurney in the vehicle. Optionally, one or more of the gurney occupant restraint belts are directly connected to the support bracket, whereby occupant loads during an accident will bypass the gurney and occupant head excursions can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10891333
    Abstract: A first connection state may be entered on a computing device. While the computing device is in the first connection state, actions taken on a playlist on the computing device may be applied to the playlist and not applied to a playback queue associated with a zone. An input may be received via the computing device, indicating a selection of the zone. In response to receiving the input, a second connection state may be entered. Entering the second connection state may comprise establishing a connected state between the computing device and the one or more playback devices. While the connected state is established, one or more actions taken on the playlist on the computing device may be applied to the playlist and transmitted, in a message to the zone over a network. The one or more actions may be one or more corresponding actions applied to the playback queue.
