Abstract: An enterprise platform may retrieve, from a collaboration data store, information about a selected enterprise team. The enterprise platform may then transmit, from a set of integration tools to a workflow tool of a remote cloud-based environment, a data payload including a notification request associated with a channel. The enterprise platform may also transmit, from a runtime environment to a business communication platform of the cloud-based environment, a request to post a notification to the channel and arrange for a member of the selected enterprise team to receive an adaptive information card, pushed by the business communication platform via the channel, containing information associated with at least one of the integration tools. The member who receives the adaptive information card may also, via selection of a graphical icon on the card, respond to the business communication platform via bi-directional communication.

Abstract: This invention provides methods of making and using a fluorescent probe from the Sandercyanin protein as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of creating a fluorescent probe, comprising the steps of attaching a Sandercyanin moiety to a probe, wherein the probe is specific to a desired target.

Abstract: The invention is directed to arrangements of tape guides which can improve the guiding of data storage tape. Tape guides having specific sizes relative to the data storage tape are also disclosed. The disclosed tape guides and arrangements of tape guides can improve the ability to properly guide the data storage tape, e.g., during media fabrication, servo recording or readout, data recording or data readout. The invention is particularly useful for magnetic tape, but may also find application with optical tape, holographic tape, or other formats of data storage tape.

Abstract: A new and improved reduced pressure index table for supporting a workpiece on a machine tool includes a base with a workpiece supporting table on one end of a support screw shaft for rotation to index the workpiece for machine tool operations and a closely coupled locking plate on the other end of the support screw shaft with a key lock for making accurate steps in precision increments. A pneumatically operated drive system is provided for rotating the table in two directions about a longitudinal axis of the support screw and an indexing wheel is provided adjacent to the screw shaft having a plurality of index slots spaced angularly around the periphery for securing the table in a selected fixed positions. Two secured pins on the locking plate are provided for engaging preset holes to lock the screw shaft and the workpiece supporting table in a fixed position and when the locking plate is retracted, the table is then permitted to rotate toward a next indexing position.

Abstract: An integrated, remote sensing and reactive detection system is provided for detecting and confirming the presence of hazardous microbursts, macrobursts, and windshears in the general flight path of an aircraft. An infrared remote sensing system is used to seek out, detect, and provide advanced alerts of thermal gradients ahead of an aircraft which correlate with windshear conditions. The measurement of atmospheric temperature is accomplished by a scanning, multi-spectral radiometer that sweeps an approximate 60 degrees path in front of the aircraft at about a 5 hertz rate. The radiometer employs two rows of detectors that are slightly offset resulting in two simultaneous measurements of temperature that are about 7 degrees apart in elevation angle.
