Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and method for deploying a fiber optic network. Distribution devices are used to index fibers within the system to ensure that live fibers are provided at output locations throughout the system. In an example, fibers can be indexed in multiple directions within the system. In an example, fibers can be stored and deployed form storage spools.

Abstract: In one general aspect, a method can include causing display of a webpage within a display area of a browser, and causing display of a search area indicator associated with an area of the webpage. The method can include receiving a selection of the search area indicator. In response to the selection of the search area indicator being received the method can include defining an image corresponding to the area, and triggering a search query based on the image. The method can include receiving a search result in response to the search query, and causing display of the search result in a search result area outside of the display area where the search result area is within the browser.

Abstract: A snap-locking hinge joint includes a clevis member and a flange member. The clevis member has a clevis base from which extend a pair of parallel arms forming a gap therebetween. Each of the arms has a pivot side and an engagement face transversely opposite the pivot side, and each of the arms has a locking recess formed in the engagement face adjacent the clevis base. The flange member has a flange base from which extends a planar rib and a pair of locking fingers. The locking fingers each have an inwardly protruding locking tip. The rib is received in the gap of the clevis member. The arms are pivotally engaged with the rib thereby pivotally interconnecting the clevis and flange members. In a locked configuration, the locking tips of the locking fingers are captured in the locking recesses of the arms of the clevis member.

Abstract: A portable lay-down blind including a gurney-style seat comprises a framework supporting a covering which forms an enclosure sized for accommodating an occupant, the covering having a top opening providing access to the enclosure, the framework including a seat frame having lateral support arms extending from the head end to the toe end of the framework, the gurney-style seat suspended from the lateral support arms and capable of supporting the weight of the occupant in a position elevated above a support surface; one embodiment the seat frame including a transversely extending bottom brace for reinforcing the lateral support arms.

Abstract: A skirt for a lay-down type hunting blind of the type having a shell for enclosing an occupant in a recumbent position. The skirt comprises at least one panel having a proximate edge and a distal edge. The proximate edge of the skirt attaches to the top perimeter edge of the shell. The skirt's distal edge is securable to a ground surface such that the skirt may be extended outwardly from the top perimeter edge of the shell to a ground surface at a slope sufficiently gradual to minimize shadows and blend more naturally into outdoor environments.
