Abstract: A needle shield remover for removing a needle shield from a syringe. The needle shield remover comprises a receiving means to receive at least part of the needle shield, removing means to detach the needle shield from the syringe whilst it is present in the receiving means; and retaining means to temporarily retain the needle shield in the receiving means after removal of the syringe. Temporarily retaining the needle shield in the needle shield remover allows the needle shield remover to be reused. Additionally, by retaining the needle shield the needle shield remover prevents the needle shield from being lost or dropped on the floor when it is not retained within the needle shield.

Abstract: A system and method involving the use of poker bots to play poker games. In one version, poker tournaments are separated into a first “pre-bubble” stage and a second “in-the-money” stage. The pre-bubble stage lasts until each of the remaining players is eligible to win an award (e.g., if the tournament has 100 players, the pre-bubble stage may last until 10 players remain). The in-the-money stage continues from the end of the pre-bubble stage until the conclusion of the poker tournament. During the pre-bubble stage, poker bots control all play. During the in-the-money stage, players may use their bots or override their bots on a hand-by-hand basis.

Abstract: A solid free-flowing particulate laundry detergent composition, wherein the composition including a detersive surfactant, an iron-based bleach catalyst and a peroxygen-based bleach, and the composition having an equilibrium pH at 20° C. at a concentration of 10 g/l in deionized water of 10.0 or less.

Abstract: The Selectable Facial Recognition Assistance Method and System (SFRA) allows law enforcement officers, military personnel, and other users the ability to rapidly and accurately identify wanted or known personnel, by combining the ability to select the type of examination, selection of optimized face matching algorithms and expert face examiners. The SFRA allows the user to select “Quick Looks” or “Long Looks” with respect to the level of detail of examination, along with race-based selected algorithms and expert face examiners. The race-based focused examination combining specialized algorithms and examiners will produce the highest confidence levels of match or no-match based on photographs taken, submitted, as well as database photographs. The SFRA will greatly assist users and persons being photographed to avoid false matches and false no-matches. This system will greatly reduce misidentification, profiling, or any other identification weaknesses that the systems and users may have.

Abstract: Observable data points are collected and organized into a link-oriented data set comprising nodes and links. Information is abstracted for use in link analysis by generating links between the collected data points, including deriving links and inducing links. A link can be induced by linking together a pair of nodes that satisfy a distance function. Exemplary distance functions that can be used to induce links include geospatial proximity, attribute nearness, and name similarity. Paths can be identified between selected nodes of interest through a dataset operation, and nodes and/or links can be selectively included or excluded from the data set operation. The dataset can be augmented with pedigree information or one or more association nodes. Link information, including a trajectory and a connected path that selectively produces or excludes one or more intermediate nodes, can be displayed and/or produced in a specified format.

Abstract: Disclosed is a refiner filling piece for a refiner having a rotor that rotates about an axis of rotation and cooperates with a stator to mechanically treat a pulp containing cellulosic fibers. The refiner filling piece is mountable to the rotor or the stator. The refiner filling piece comprises a base and a plurality of spaced-apart refiner bars, each refiner bar being defined by a bar length and a bar height. At least some of the refiner bars have a surface coated with a variable coating. The surface having the variable coating may be the leading surface of the bar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a screen cylinder that is particularly suitable for screening, filtering, fractionating, or sorting cellulose pulp or fibre suspensions of the pulp and paper industry or other similar suspensions. The present invention relates more particularly to screening devices, which are usually cylindrical though also conical shapes are known. Such screening devices have basically two optional constructions. A first one comprises a plurality of screen wires positioned substantially axially and at a small spacing parallel to each other. The plurality of screen wires forms a screening surface facing the pulp or fibre suspension to be screened and adjacent wires form screening openings therebetween allowing an accept portion of the pulp or fibre suspension to flow therethrough. The second construction comprises a drilled or slotted sheet metal plate bent to a circular, or in broader terms, rotationally symmetrical shape.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for aggregating media (and commentary on that media) into a topology. To do so, the system receives first content (and associated metadata) as well as second content (and associated metadata). The system then generates a topology based on a relationship between the first content and the second content, where the topology has a number of dimensions based on the metadata of the different pieces of content. The system then compares the topology and the metadata to previously stored topologies and/or metadata and, based on that comparison, executes a machine learning algorithm. The output of that machine learning algorithm includes predicted future changes to the topology, which the system uses to reduce the number of dimensions within the topology.
