Abstract: A content selector switch selects, based on a received request for content from a particular remote control device, a multicast network on which to provide the requested particular content. Each multicast network channel of the plurality of multicast network channels is mapped to a respective video channel and each remote control device in the facility (e.g., hotel) is mapped to a respective video channel that the TV controlled by the remote control device stays tuned to. The content selector switch performs the selection by identifying which remote control device in the facility sent the request and selecting the multicast network channel that is mapped to the RF video channel the identified remote control device is mapped to. The content selector switch then provides the specific content on the selected multicast network channel to a multicast-to-channel output device that provides the content on the RF video channel for the TV tuned to that RF video channel to display.

Abstract: A surgical end effector assembly includes first and second jaw members configured to grasp tissue. Each of the first and second jaw members includes a proximal flange portion and a distal body portion. The proximal flange portions are pivotably coupled to one another to move the distal body portions between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position.

Abstract: (N+Q) dimensions of data can be analyzed in an N-dimensional native OLAP cube by submitting an (N+Q)-dimensional custom query and converting the (N+Q)-dimensional custom query into an N-dimensional query for submission to the N-dimensional native OLAP cube. An N-dimensional result of the N-dimensional query is provided and converted into an (N+Q)-dimensional result of the (N+Q)-dimensional custom query. The (N+Q) dimensional result is then provided as an answer to the (N+Q) dimensional custom query.

Abstract: The present dolly for catamarans has soft-walled, inflatable tires which expand axially under load to keep the load pressure on each tire not more than 2 psi where the tire tread engages the ground. Self-lubricating needle bearings are engaged between each ground wheel and a hollow axle. The axle is covered by rubber sleeves axially outboard of the tires. Annular hull chocks are attached to the opposite ends of the axle, and each chock has a convex inboard face which is covered with outdoor carpeting. A flexible line extends through the axle and beyond the axle at each end for releasable attachment to the catamaran hulls.
