Abstract: An access system includes a laterally extending frame, a carriage in operative connection with the laterally extending frame and including a drive to move the carriage laterally on the frame, a seat support attached to the carriage including a seat assembly interface and a lift to raise and lower the seat assembly interface within a range of positions, a seat assembly attached to the seat assembly interface, a controller in operative connection with the drive of the carriage and the lift of the seat support via which the position of the seat support is controllable, and a controller interface in operative connection with the controller.

Abstract: An inventory container diverter system is described. The system includes a conveyor to move totes through a shipment processing area and a redirection device to push totes perpendicularly off the conveyor at predetermined locations. Adjacent the redirection device is a chute which the tote slides down to present the tote to a user at an easily accessible height and tilted at such an angle to enable simple and efficient access to the interior of the tote. The chute includes a door to help prevent totes from falling out of the chute. A tote sensor detects when the chute is occupied by a tote or when it is clear and a door sensor detects when the door of the chute is closed. When the door is closed and the chute is clear the system directs a new tote to the redirection device and pushes it into the chute.

Abstract: A system and method for reconditioning railcar side frames including an overhead conveyer system, a railcar side frame holder, where the side frame is secured in the side frame holder, where the side frame holder is movably engaged with the overhead conveyer. The side frame and side frame holder are moved along the conveyer to a plurality of stations to perform operations such as welding and grinding. The side frame holder enables the side frame to be rotated 360 degrees while secured in the side frame holder. The side frame holder includes a fixed side arm, a movable side arm, and a pair of frame guides.

Abstract: Techniques to optimize quality of service and quality of user experience for multi-media mobile applications are described. A traffic detection component detects the video and audio data components of a video call. Detection may be via a modified traffic detection component or via a software quality of service component exposing traffic detection component functionality to a multi-media application via an application programming interface. Based on available bandwidth for a session of the multi-media application and heuristics, video and audio data components may be placed in different contexts with different priorities. In the specific case of a video call, the video and audio data components are each associated with a quality of user experience threshold, which when available bandwidth fails to meet those thresholds, an optimizing heuristic to trigger the traffic detection component to change contexts and priorities of the video and audio data components.
