Abstract: An online system receives content items including targeting criteria and associated with objects presented via video content. When the online system presents video content to a user, the online system detects objects included in the video content. If the online system detects an object in the video content matching an object associated with a content item, the online system determines whether characteristics of the user satisfy at least a threshold amount of targeting criteria included in the content item. In response to characteristics of the user satisfying the threshold amount of targeting criteria included in the content item, the online system includes the content item in one or more selection processes. If the selection processes select the content item, the online system presents the content item in conjunction with the video content.

Abstract: An analytical instrument includes a data acquisition system that produces data. The analytical instrument includes a data compression system/process that utilizes a lossless data compression technique that can be implemented using minimal hardware and software resources. The process may be implemented in such a way that it can be split into many parallel operations. The process can be implemented utilizing software and/or processing devices such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) or Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

Abstract: A duct support assembly (1) is provided for mounting and supporting a duct (4) on a structure, and comprises a single support bracket (3) adapted to be mounted on the structure, and a duct bracket (5) adapted to be secured to the duct (4). The support bracket (3) and the duct bracket (5) comprise respective mounting means that engage in use to mount and support the duct bracket (5) on the support bracket (3) so as to positively locate the duct bracket (5) on the support bracket (3) in a predetermined fixed position and orientation. The duct support assembly (1) further comprises mounting adjustment means provided to enable the duct (4) and duct bracket (5) to be mounted in a plurality of positions on the support bracket (3), the mounting adjustment means enabling the duct bracket (5) to be mounted in positions towards or away from the support bracket (3).

Abstract: A flexible connection (32) is described for forming a connecting passageway with coupling flange (20) or duct in a ventilation system. The flexible connection comprises a flexible sleeve (22) having an end for fitting over the coupling flange or duct. In one embodiment, a worm-drive clip (24) extends around the end of the sleeve to secure the end of the sleeve to the coupling flange or duct. The clip extends through a tunnel (38) formed partly around the end of the sleeve to hold the clip in position around the sleeve before the end of the sleeve is secured to the coupling flange or duct. In another embodiment, the flexible sleeve is permanently bonded to the coupling flange. A component (94) is also described for use with a ventilation unit having an airway and an array of securing means around the airway.

Abstract: A flip chip assembly machine (FCAM) (30) includes a main gantry (50) and a substrate camera gantry (40) that are configured to operate independently of each other and, respectively, support a die (12) and a substrate camera (38) for alignment purposes. The FCAM further includes a fluxer (130) for applying flux to the die. A flip-to-flux pick and place subassembly (116) picks up a die and places it in flux (46) independently of the operation of the main gantry, which may perform another task during the flux dwell time. A substrate carrier conveyor (154) includes a walking beam (260) to rapidly accelerate and decelerate substrate carrier movement into and out of the FCAM.
