Abstract: An assembly that includes a wedge and mandrel that share an axis of rotation and can be rotated independently or simultaneously to stow or deploy slit-tube longerons. A wedge is crescent shaped, with a height that increases along an outer perimeter as the arc of the crescent is traversed from a first end to a second end. The changing height of the wedge allows a slit-tube longeron to be flattened for stowage or can be disengaged to allow the tube to curl up for deployment.

Abstract: It is often desirable to cover parts of a roofless vehicle when not in use, for example to protect the seat and instrumentation from the weather or becoming damaged. The cover (10) for a roofless vehicle comprises two portions (101,102) with a first portion arranged to be placed in use over the vehicle's instrumentation and steering and a second portion arranged to be placed in use over a seat of the vehicle. The cover can be arranged in a first configuration to cover the vehicle and rearranged to a second configuration wherein the cover provides a shelter. The cover includes plural attachment points (13,14) to allow the cover to be secured in both configurations.

Abstract: A glenoid implant can include a body, a first fixation member, a second fixation member, and a third fixation member. The body can include an articular surface and a scapula-engaging surface opposite from the articular surface. The first, second and third fixation members can extend from the scapula-engaging surface. The third fixation member can include a porous titanium material and be disposed between the first and second fixation members, such that the first, second and third fixation members define a substantially linear configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a glenoid implant including a body and a fixation member. The body has an articular surface and a scapula-engaging surface opposite from the articular surface. At least a portion of the scapula-engaging surface is configured to mirror and conform to a surface of a scapula of a specific patient based on a three-dimensional (3D) model of the scapula. The fixation member extends from the scapula-engaging surface for fixing the glenoid implant to the scapula.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing playback devices with trick play functionality are described. The system includes a playback device, e.g., without recording capability, and a gateway device with multiple tuner-demodulators and/or a cable modem and recording capability. During normal playback, in some embodiments, both the playback device and gateway receive content in parallel with the gateway recording content at the request of the playback device and supplying the content over the local network when a user of the playback device requests a trick play operation. A single gateway, with multiple tuner demodulator pairs and/or a cable modem, supports trick play functions. In some embodiments if the number of playback devices exceeds the number of tuner-demodulator pairs in the gateway, the playback device can stream content to the gateway for recording and to be returned via the local network in the event of a request for a trick play operation.

Abstract: An annular gasket for use between facing flanges of two flow conduit sections, the gasket including an annular gasket substrate made of polytetrafluoroethylene and having a first face opposite a second face. The first face includes a plurality of first serrations wherein the plurality of first serrations includes a plurality of first grooves and a plurality of first peaks, and the second face includes a plurality of second serrations wherein the plurality of second serrations includes a plurality of second grooves and a plurality of second peaks. The plurality of first peaks is aligned with the plurality of second peaks. The plurality of first peaks and the plurality of second peaks are compressible to a substantially flat surface when the conduit sections are joined together in a bolted configuration. An outer guide ring may be positioned exteriorly to the annular gasket substrate.

Abstract: A truck bed divider assembly includes a body, a first roller, a first cover wound on the first roller, a second roller and a second cover wound on the second roller.

Abstract: Aspects and embodiments are directed to systems for determining counting accuracy of products, including retail products. The system for determining counting accuracy can interface with other inventory systems to access or receive information on inventory of the retail products. The inventory information can include, for example, numbers of units in inventory, shelf space accorded to respective products, package size (i.e., number of units available per package), retail value, margin value, among other options. The system can manage physical counts made on respective products. In some examples, the system can determine a value associated with physically counting inventory of respective product(s), for example, as a function of a number of units on-hand, time since the product has been counted, and a presentation value. Responsive to determining the value associated with physically counting the respective product, the system triggers a physical count or can prohibit a physical count of a product.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for an electronic label for use within shelf label tracks in stores. Such electronic labels receive initial information associated with an item being sold and begin displaying that information. When a change occurs such that the label needs to be modified, a record of the original information is retained within memory in the electronic label, such that the modified display can be used until the need for the modification ends. At that point, the electronic label can be restored to display the original information again using the stored record.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention relates to a method for dynamically constructing a pre-populated note template comprising receiving a context from a user and determining whether there are any note templates that match an initial criteria including the received context. A note template is then loaded based on the determination of matching note templates. If there are one or more sections in the loaded template, for each section in the loaded template, determine if there are any forms for the section that match the context. A pre-populated Note template is then loaded including any matching forms.
