Abstract: Disclosed are compounds of Formula (I): or a salt thereof, wherein: X is CR6 or N; Y is CR3 or N; R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, and m are defined herein. Also disclosed are methods of using such compounds to inhibit the activity of one or both of diacylglycerol kinase alpha (DGK?) and diacylglycerol kinase zeta (DGK?), and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds. These compounds are useful in the treatment of viral infections and proliferative disorders, such as cancer.

Abstract: A method for hierarchical work scheduling includes consuming a work item at a first scheduling domain having a local scheduler circuit and one or more workgroup processing elements. Consuming the work item produces a set of new work items. Subsequently, the local scheduler circuit distributes at least one new work item of the set of new work items to be executed locally at the first scheduling domain. If the local scheduler circuit of the first scheduling domain determines that the set of new work items includes one or more work items that would overload the first scheduling domain with work if scheduled for local execution, those work items are distributed to the next higher-level scheduler circuit in a scheduling domain hierarchy for redistribution to one or more other scheduling domains.

Abstract: A pivot arm assembly for an agricultural machine. The pivot arm assembly has a pivot arm having a bushing block on a first end and configured to be coupled to a gauge wheel on a second end, a lateral positioning member configured to be selectively coupled to the bushing block to provide lateral adjustment of the pivot arm, a through bolt configured to selectively couple the lateral positioning member to a frame, and a friction reducing member positioned between the bushing block and the through bolt. The friction reducing member allows pivotal movement of the pivot arm relative to the through bolt and does not require a routine application of grease.

Abstract: An agricultural planter row unit has a trench opener fixed to a support frame and a gauge wheel supported by a gauge wheel arm to control planting depth. An electric actuator drives movement of a linkage with a mechanical stop that bears against the gauge wheel support arm to position the gauge wheel to obtain the desired planting depth. A seed depth control system receives an operator input, from an operator compartment of a towing vehicle, and automatically controls actuation of the seed depth actuator.

Abstract: There is described a system and method of a building management system for preventive maintenance of an HVAC unit. Runtime data of the HVAC unit is received at a control system remote from the HVAC unit. A service message is initiated, by the control system, to a service device associated with the HVAC unit in response to determining that a preventive maintenance visit is warranted based on the runtime data. A hot-cold test for the HVAC unit is activated by the control system in response to receiving the registration message of the preventive maintenance visit from the service device. A validation message is reported in response to validating the preventive maintenance visit based on a result of the hot-cold test for the HVAC unit.

Abstract: A disk blade having a circular blade body of a first base material of a first hardness and having top and a bottom surfaces and an outer edge extending around the blade body. At least one clad bead extends circumferentially about the blade body on the bottom surface adjacent the outer edge of a second hardness greater than the first hardness of the base material. Various bead patterns are possible.

Abstract: A seed tab for a seed boot having a seed passage extending from an inlet to an outlet includes a tab body and a tab tail. The tab body has a mounting arrangement at a first end and a laterally outer edge. The tab tail extends from the tab body to a second end and has a laterally outer edge that extends laterally outward of the laterally outer edge of the tab body. A laterally extending edge extends between the laterally outer edge of the tab body and the laterally outer edge of the tab tail. The seed tab is configured so that, when the tab body is connected to the seed boot at the mounting arrangement, the tab tail extends downwardly behind the outlet of the seed boot.

Abstract: A seed delivery system housing contains a transport mechanism for moving seed along a seed path through the delivery system housing. A wear liner may include a wear liner insert extending along a portion of the seed path within the delivery, the wear liner insert including a wear surface interposed between the transport mechanism and the seed delivery system housing to protect at least one of the seed and the seed delivery system housing from wear. In certain embodiments, various features of the liner may extend outside the seed delivery system housing, to further protect the housing.

Abstract: A brush conditioner is described for a seeding machine that moves seed along a seed path with a brush belt having free brush ends and attached brush ends. The brush conditioner may include a conditioning member with a mounting portion and a conditioning portion. The mounting portion may be attached to the brush belt housing and the conditioning portion may angle away from the mounting portion to extend across the seed path. The conditioning portion may thereby contact a portion of the free brush ends to deflect the free brush ends toward the attached brush ends.

Abstract: A belt tensioner assembly is described for a seeding machine that moves seed along a seed path with a seed-transport belt, the seed-transport belt being contained by a belt housing and supported by a fixed belt support. An adjustment mechanism may have an input member accessible from outside the belt housing and a positioning member disposed within the belt housing, the positioning member changing positions in response to user input applied to the input member. A transfer mechanism may be coupled to the positioning member and to a movable belt support, and may move in response to the change in positions of the positioning member. User input to the adjustment mechanism may vary the tension of the seed-transport belt by changing the positioning of the positioning member to move the transfer mechanism and drive the movable belt support along a centerline extending between the fixed and movable belt supports.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for deploying control surfaces generally comprise a fin deployment system for projectiles. The fin deployment system is used to control the timing of the control surface deployment. In one embodiment, the deployment system comprises a clip that is configured to react the biasing force of one control surface against another in order to maintain the control surfaces in a non-deployed state until at least one control surface is able to overcome the retention force of the clip, thus beginning a chain reaction in which all of the control surfaces deploy sequentially.

Abstract: An opener assembly for a ground engaging implement having a disk is shown. This invention attaches a scraper to the main opener arm of an opener assembly with a two point connection. One connection point allows rotation of the scraper about three orthogonal axes while the other connection point restricts rotation about one of the axes and biases the scraper edge into contact with the disk blade.
