Abstract: A system for providing shade onto a surface is described herein. The system includes a canopy configured for engagement with, and aerial suspension by, a frame. The frame includes a plurality of sections configured for end-to-end alignment from a left end to a right end of the frame. Each section is configured to engage with any adjacent sections to form the frame. The ends of the frame are secured to the surface, thereby aerially suspending the canopy and providing shade to the surface.

Abstract: A compound having the following formula is disclosed. The compound is useful as an emitter in OLED applications.

Abstract: Described herein are high-power pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) applicator systems. The systems can comprise a base housing including a controller configured to generate a low-power control signal and one or more applicators coupled to the base. Each applicator can include a drive circuitry comprising a generator configured to receive the low-power control signal and to produce, in the applicator, a high-power, pulsed electromagnetic field signal based on the low-power control signal. The high-power pulsed electromagnetic field signal can have a power of greater than 40W. Each applicator can further include a coil circuit configured to emit the high-power pulsed electromagnetic field signal, and an electromagnetic energy shield disposed between the drive circuitry and the coil circuit.

Abstract: Techniques are described for a social networking system to provide an interactive live stream event. In some cases, the social networking system may be configured to allow a user to both view a live stream event while preforming other operations associated with the social networking system, such as reviewing items, providing comments, and completing purchase transactions.

Abstract: A system, computer product and method for profiling consumers to recommend a financial transaction instrument having benefits tailored to psychographic characteristics of the consumer. A set of questions is presented to a consumer, in order to determine the psychographic characteristics of the consumer. At least one subset of questions is presented, based on answers to the set of questions, the at least one subset of questions relating more specifically to available benefits. A tailored financial transaction instrument is recommended, having benefits which are based on answers to the at least one subset of questions.

Abstract: A system, computer product and method for presenting a competitive comparison of a recommended financial transaction instrument.

Abstract: An extended length strand take up device is presented that may be used to repair damaged guy wires in the field. The invention comprises two connecting bodies connected by a single tension rod that extends continuously between the two connecting bodies. Each connecting body slides over opposite ends of the tension rod and is held in place by a stop member, such as threaded nuts screwed onto the respective ends of the tension rod. The connecting bodies may further include an inwardly-facing pull tab or tabs that can be used for pre-tensioning the guy wire. An alternative embodiment of the invention comprises a single tension rod that is fixedly anchored to the ground and several connecting bodies that are fixedly mounted along the end of the guy wire at standard increments. The tension rod runs parallel to and overlaps the end of the guy wire. The connecting bodies slide along the length of the tension rod until the required tension and length is reached.

Abstract: A beverage container handle system is provided to hold, retain, secure, transport, or otherwise engage or couple to a container such as, for example, a beverage container. The system could be positioned about, engaged with, or disposed about portions of a container to provide a removable and adjustable “handle” for the container. The system could include an elongated body, a first structure associated with a first end of the elongated body and configured to dispose about a first end of a container, and a second structure associated with a second end of the elongated body and configured to dispose about a second end of the container. The elongated body could form a handle for the container when the first structure and the second structure are engaged with the container.

Abstract: An apparatus for scraping the surface of a sink roll in a molten metal coating process comprises a support member having a pair of linearly movable arms supported thereon. The support member depends from a bridge structure spanning a continuous metal coating line, and a pair or arms, the arms being disposed on opposite sides of said support member. Each arm has a scraper assembly portion attached thereto. Each scraper assembly portion has two blades affixed thereto, a forward scraper blade and a rear scraper blade, with a connecting portion connecting the two blades. The connecting portion also has a first pivot point for attaching the connecting portion to the arm associated with the scraper assembly portion, the first pivot point being disposed between said forward and rear scraper blades for following the radial contours of the roll surface. A second pivot point permits the blades to follow the crown of the roll.
