Abstract: A join service joins first and second computerized meetings. The join service receives information about the first and second computerized meetings from respective first and second meeting services. In response to a request from one of the first and second services to join the meetings, the join service translates audio, video, and data signaling between the first computerized meeting service and the second computerized meeting to join participants in the first computerized meeting and participants in the second meeting in a combined computerized meeting. An alternative join service obtains a uniform resource indicator (URI) for an agent of the first meeting. In response to a request from a participant in the second meeting to access the first meeting, the join service provides the URI to the second meeting service to allow the second meeting service to join the second meeting to the first meeting.

Abstract: A first meeting of a first network service is connected to a second meeting of a second network service by sending data identifying the first network service to the second network service and receiving, from the second network service, a key that is associated with the first network service. The first network service then sends information identifying the second meeting and a link to the first meeting to the second network service using an address for second network service that includes the key. The first network service then receives a second meeting link to the second meeting from the second network service and providing devices participating in the first meeting with the second meeting link. These devices activate the second meeting link to access resources of the second meeting.

Abstract: Implementations of the present invention relate to for analyzing behavior of small live test subjects. More specifically, methods and devices of the present invention can allow a researcher to use a single device for analyzing effects of genetic modifications made to the test subjects on the test subject's behavior and movements. Additionally, the methods and devices may allow for analysis of effects that various medications may have on the test subject's behavior and movement.

Abstract: Binding of separate communication platform meetings is provided. Video conference service interconnection with online meeting service may be achieved by allowing the online meeting service to provide a tenant identifier to the video conference service, which may be associated with the tenant and used in a key that is used by the video conference service to schedule and initiate meetings. The online meeting service may also include the key in metadata used by its scheduling service. The tenant identifier and/or the key may be used by the components involved in initiating and, facilitating various meetings by users of the online meetings (and by users of the video conference service).

Abstract: Architecture that automatically breaks the circular reference between objects without any different logic by introducing a helper object called a child object container. The child object is contained within the container object and both share a reference counter. The parent object holds a strong reference to the container object. When adding a reference to the child object both the shared reference counter and the parent reference counter increase. When releasing a reference to the child object both the shared reference counter and the parent reference counter decrease. This approach provides a systematic way of solving the circular reference problem that does not rely on any weak-reference feature provided by the programming language.

Abstract: A desiccant container (10) includes a cylindrical body (12) having a first end (14) and an opposed second end (16). The cylindrical body (12) defines a desiccant chamber (18) within the cylindrical body (12) for holding the desiccant material within the chamber (18) between the first and second ends (14, 16). The cylindrical body (12) is made of a flexible, gas permeable, liquid impermeable material. A first disk (20) is secured adjacent the first end (14), and a second disk (22) secured adjacent the second end (16) to facilitate closing of the ends (14, 16) and to support maintenance of a cylindrical shape of the container (10) during usage of the desiccant container (10) in high-speed automated packaging machinery.

Abstract: A process for splicing cut ends of a continuous strip of packets or bags used to hold bulk material. The steps of the process include forming a continuous strip of packets from packaging material and filling the packets with bulk material. The edges of the packaging material are sealed to form individual packets of the continuous strip such that adjacent packets share a common sealed area of packaging material. Openings are then formed in the common sealed areas between the adjacent packets. The continuous strip is then cut entirely across the common sealed area of the packets at two separate locations on the continuous strip to form cut ends such that each of the cut ends of the continuous strip contains an opening in the common sealed area. Without using splicing tape, the two cut ends of the continuous strip with openings are spliced together such that the openings in the two cut ends overlap. The splicing process can be accomplished by ultrasonic welding, impulse splicing or other processes.

Abstract: A continuous strip of packets or bags used to hold bulk material formed by processes including ultrasonic welding, impulse splicing, adhesive binding and other such processes. Also disclosed is equipment to produce these spliced products.

Abstract: A decision feedback encoder comprising an analog-to-digital converter for converting an input signal into digital signals representing decision levels, digital processing circuits responsive to signals from the converter for providing a succession of symbol values and a set of coefficients, digital-to-analog converters for converting the coefficients into corresponding analog values and analog circuits for forming a sum of the products of each of the symbol values and a respective one of said analog values to provide a feedback signal for the reduction of inter-symbol interference in the input signal.

Abstract: The machine includes a carriage assembly supporting a shot sleeve and shot cylinder at a fixed angle relative to vertical. The sleeve follows a first straight line path from a remote position to an intermediate position aligned with an aperture of the die casting die and a second path to a position communicating with the aperture. Docking cylinders lift the shot cylinder, sleeve and a docking plate to a position at which the docking plate is aligned with locking cylinders and to bring the sleeve into engagement with the die aperture. Actuation of the locking cylinders moves the docking plate into engagement with a sleeve frame supporting the shot cylinder which is thereafter actuated to eject molten metal from the sleeve engaged to the die aperture.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display system comprising a first display member overlying a second display member. Each member comprises two transparent layers (such as glass), coated with polariser and separated by a layer of liquid crystal. Each member has a set of individually actuable display elements. The display elements in the second member, and are visible through the first member.

Abstract: Box machine forming wheels are individually stabilized with a respective, frame mounted, stationary yoke disposed within the circumferential groove of a head wheel that is rigidly secured to the forming wheel. Lateral space between the yoke finger faces and the rotating groove walls is adjustably filled by rub plates mounted on dowel pins confined within yoke finger guide bores. A cone tipped adjustment screw cooperates with conical tips on the dowel pins to selectively expand the rub plate assembly for operational wear accommodation.
