Abstract: An electronic monitoring device and system uses a wearable monitoring device in conjunction with an associated smartphone's location services to track a person's location. Cameras or biometric sensors associated with the smartphone allow incremental responses to apparent violations by requiring the wearer to check-in using a photograph, biometric data, GPS location, and other relevant information. The system optimizes compliance by tracking KPIs and using predictive analytics to adjust compliance programs as they apply to client throughout the system.

Abstract: A computer-enabled system and method that provides for real-time escalation of user privileges and real-time creation of rules for managing requests for privilege on a computer resource by a local or remote Approver, System Administrator, organization, or other responsible entity is disclosed. A computer is monitored for privilege restriction events which notifies a local or remote Approver, System Administrator, organization or other responsible entity. Upon detection of such an event, the system determines the identity of the trigger item that initiated the event. Based on information pertaining to the initiating trigger item along with other computer system state information an Approver remotely evaluates the computer along with the request(s) for privilege and approves or denies the request(s) in real-time.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to closed caption corruption detection and reporting. In accordance with one aspect disclosed herein, a system can ingest a digital video channel bitstream. The system can locate a digital closed caption flag in the digital video channel bitstream. The digital closed caption flag can indicate that a digital closed caption content packet is present within the digital video channel bitstream. The system can determine that at least a portion of the digital closed caption content packet cannot be rendered to display closed caption content associated with at least the portion of the digital closed caption content packet. The system can instantiate an alert based on the determination that at least the portion of the digital closed caption content packet cannot be rendered to display the closed caption content associated with at least the portion of the digital closed caption content packet.

Abstract: A component for a vehicle interior is disclosed. The component may comprise a base comprising a bin, a cover configured to cover the bin, an interface for the cover and a mechanism configured to retain the cover to the base. The mechanism may comprise at least one pin configured to rotate in response to translation at the interface to release the cover from the base. The interface may comprise a button configured to move in the opening direction from a forward position to a rearward position to unlock the cover from the base. The cover may be configured to move in the opening direction as the button moves from the forward position toward the rearward position. The mechanism may comprise a link to rotate in response to translation of the button to rotate the pin to unlock the cover from the base.

Abstract: A vehicle interior component is disclosed. The component may comprise a mechanism to guide movement of a bin relative to a base in a direction to open from a retracted position to an extended position for bin access. The mechanism may guide generally linear movement of the bin along a direction generally parallel to or aligned with the direction to open. The mechanism may comprise a set of gears and a set of gear racks. The set of gears may be coupled to one of the base and the bin. The set of gear racks may be formed as one piece with the other of the base and the bin. The set of gears may comprise helical gears coupled to an axle. The set of gear racks may be configured to engage a set of helical gears. The set of gears may provide resistance to movement of the bin.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to equipment utilized to manufacture chemical agents, particularly biopharmaceuticals. In some embodiments, reactor systems comprising a mobile carriage assembly; a disposable reaction container removably attached to the carriage assembly; and, a carriage holder into which the mobile carriage assembly may be removably inserted are provided.

Abstract: A curling iron providing angular adjustment of a heatable wand to a handle is disclosed. The curling iron comprises a pivot joint between the elongated handle and the elongated heatable wand. A manual detent is biased to constrain the pivot joint against rotation, thereby locking the elongated heatable wand in a selected position relative to the handle, and to release the wand for adjustment to another position. Release and adjustment may be performed by operating a manual control to release the pivot joint and rotating a wheel of the pivot joint to adjust angle of the wand relative to the handle. Alternatively, a single manual control can be manipulated to both release the pivot joint and also adjust the angle of the wand.

Abstract: An elongated handle has a pointed fish hook rotatably affixed to one end of the handle, the hook having two operating dispositions, a first disposition wherein the hook is open for gaffing purposes and a second disposition wherein the hook folded back against the handle to block the hook point for safety. A mechanism releasably secures the hook at either disposition. A button actuated mechanism releases the hook from either disposition so that the hook can be moved from one operating disposition to the other. Preferably the gaff further includes a bias for urging the hook toward its open, gaffing disposition.
