Abstract: A method of assembling a canister filter system includes inserting a first filter component into a second filter component, and continuing the insertion until a first tab of either the first filter component or the second filter component contacts the other of the first filter component and the second filter component.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a system receiving, from a third-party system, a first request to publish a live video. The system may receive a second request for content from a user device and, in response, transmit display instructions and one or more network addresses from which the live video and an interface application are available. The display instructions may be configured to cause the user device to: configure a video player application to display the live video obtained using at least one of the one or more network addresses; and configure the interface application, obtained using at least one of the one or more network addresses, to be displayed over at least a portion of the live video and to communicate with the third-party computing system.

Abstract: Aspects of the present invention are related to systems, methods and apparatus for digital-marking-surface spatial management of content units and display of content units. Some aspects relate to diagrammatic gestures that invoke content-unit spatial separation on a digital marking surface. Some aspects relate to the generation and display of a transformed view of content units on a digital marking surface.

Abstract: An autonomous traffic managing system, includes at least one motorized traffic controlling mobile platform, a traffic monitoring system for receiving real-time traffic data, and a traffic managing module. In response to the real-time traffic data received and analyzed by the traffic monitoring system the traffic controlling mobile platform can autonomously manage vehicle or pedestrian traffic within the traffic control zone using the traffic managing module. The real-time traffic data is received from at least one of: one or more cameras or sensors associated with the traffic controlling mobile platform; one or more off-board sensors; a drone; and a traffic monitoring application. A plurality of traffic controlling mobile platforms can be synchronized to autonomously control traffic flow in two directions or expand or contract the size of the traffic control zone.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes a system receiving a first request to publish a live video and a first network address associated with a third-party system. The system may receive a second request for content from a first user device and, in response, transmit display instructions, the first network address associated, a second network address from which the live video is available, and a third network address from which an interface application is available. The display instructions may be configured to cause the first user device to: configure a video player application to display the live video obtained using the second network address; obtain the interface application using the third network address; configure the interface application to be displayed over at least a portion of the live video and to communicate with the third-party computing system using the first network address.

Abstract: A detachable roof system for a convertible vehicle (10) having an open state in which a vehicle cabin is open and a closed state in which the vehicle cabin is closed includes a front frame (30) which is removably mountable to the vehicle at the front of the vehicle cabin and a rear frame (60), separate from the front frame (30), which is removably mountable to the vehicle at the rear of the vehicle cabin. The rear frame includes an integral panel (76) which forms a rear window of the vehicle when the rear frame is mounted on the vehicle. The roof system includes a hood (34) for covering the cabin in the closed state; wherein the rear frame (60) provides a support for the hood (34) which spans the rear frame (60) when the hood (34) covers the cabin.

Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to an embolic filter device configured for placement in a blood vessel to capture emboli during a medical procedure. The embolic filter device can include an expandable frame member and a membrane. The expandable frame member can include a radial support member operably connected to first and second longitudinal struts, and an engaging portion extending between the first and second longitudinal struts. The engaging portion can be shaped and configured to temporarily receive, and sealingly mate with, a portion of an endovascular catheter during the medical procedure. The membrane can be securely connected to the frame member and define a collection chamber for captured emboli. The membrane can be configured to cover substantially all of the cross-sectional area of the blood vessel when the embolic filter device is deployed in the blood vessel.

Abstract: A wellhead seal assembly that forms a metal-to-metal seal between inner and outer wellhead members and a face seal between inner wellhead members. The face seal is created by two opposing sealing surfaces on inner wellhead members that sealingly engage each other. The inner wellhead members that interact to form a face seal may be a casing hanger, bridging hanger, or lockdown hanger. A wicker profile formed on one of the opposing seal surfaces bites into the opposing seal surface in response to a load. The face seal is designed such that well pressure enhances the face seal.

Abstract: A first catalog of items associated with item characteristics Cim, describing the items is converted into a display catalog of the items. A plurality of item parameters Pi are defined for the items of the first catalog. A first generation module generates a first identifier for each item in the first catalog. The first identifier comprises a series of the item characteristics for each of the parameters associated with the item. A hierarchy prioritizes item parameters and their associated characteristics. A second generation module generates a second identifier based on the first identifier and the hierarchy. The second identifier comprises a series of item characteristics that is a subset of the characteristics included in the first identifier. A display generator generates display catalog from the second catalog by selectively populating a display medium according to the priority of each characteristic and associated parameter of the second identifier.
