Abstract: A mounting system for an image capture device that includes three pivotably connected arms is disclosed. The first arm includes a first fastener that is lockable and unlockable to allow for connection and disconnection of the image capture device, and a second fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the position of the image capture device relative to the first arm. The mounting system further includes a third fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the relative positioning between the first arm and the second arm, and a fourth fastener that is lockable and unlockable to regulate the relative positioning between the second arm and the third arm.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for executing a documentation application displaying a graphical user interface having an editable field configured to receive textual input. The system receives a first portion of a textual input in the editable field, which includes a command character designating the first portion of the textual input as a link insertion command. The system receives a second portion of textual input in the editable field and, before entry of the textual input is complete, the system analyzes the second portion of the textual input to identify an external platform service. The system then accesses, using an application programming interface, first hosted data hosted by the external platform service. The first hosted data may be displayed in line with the textual input and used to generate a complete link path. Once complete, the link path is replaced with a selectable graphical object that is operable, when selected, to redirect the user to the external platform service.

Abstract: A computing device is configured to receive an image containing a code associated with a consumable of an aerosol provision system. The computing device reads the code to generate consumable data and a digital signature. The computing device validates the digital signature using a public key of a key pair, and determines whether to approve the consumable based on the consumable data in response to the digital signature being validated.

Abstract: Storage systems and methods to provide high-density data storage. Freestanding storage servers include storage drives, left and right backplanes, a backing plate, host adapters, and cables. The left and right backplanes are secured to the backing plate. The mounting holes of each storage drive attached to the left backplane are bilaterally symmetrical about a median plane to the corresponding mounting holes of each storage drive attached to the right backplane. Each left and right backplane has plug receptacles which are aligned and coupled to cables. The plug receptacles of the left backplane are bilaterally symmetrical about the median plane to corresponding plug receptacles of the right backplane. Host adapters are aligned, and each has plug receptacles, organized into a left and a right connector group, which are coupled to cables. For each host adapter, the left connector group is bilaterally symmetrical about the median plane to the right connector group.
