Abstract: When an electronic ticket is purchased, the ticket is maintained electronically (paperless format) on a consumer-operated device via a ticket wallet application (app). Wallet app obtains ticket details via a scan of an image of the ticket captured from a display of a ticket vendor terminal. Only the wallet app maintains ticket details of the ticket; however, a ticket service cooperates with the wallet app to validate the ticket, to track redemption of the ticket, to authorize printing of the ticket, and to manage the ticket with other tickets of a consumer associated with consumer-operated device.

Abstract: Qubit allocation for noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers is provided. A quantum circuit comprises a plurality of logical qubits. A hardware specification comprising a connectivity graph of a plurality of physical qubits. A directed acyclic allocation graph is determined based on the plurality of logical qubits and the connectivity graph. The allocation graph comprises a node for each possible allocation of the plurality of logical qubits to the plurality of physical qubits, each allocation having a fidelity, and a plurality of directed edges, each edge connecting to its corresponding first node from its corresponding second node, the first node corresponding to a first allocation, the second node corresponding to a sub-allocation of the first allocation. The allocation graph is searched for a weighted shortest path from a root node of the allocation graph to a leaf node of the allocation graph. The allocation corresponding to the weighted shortest path is outputted.

Abstract: A mirror assembly includes a frame, a mirror platform, a light emitting element, a light guide, an interior reflective surface, and a back plate. The mirror platform includes a central reflective portion and a translucent portion. The light emitting element is retained within the frame and driven by a driver. The light guide plate is disposed adjacent the light emitting element and includes two opposed major surfaces that propagate light along the light guide plate. The interior reflective surface is disposed adjacent a rear major surface of the light guide plate. The back plate is affixed to the frame, securing the mirror platform, the light emitting element, the driver, the light guide, and the interior reflective surface therebetween.

Abstract: A scuff mark removal tool used to remove tar, dirt, and rubber scuff marks from an uncarpeted floor surface. The tool has a handle portion and a felt-covered ball attached to the handle portion. The felt-covering on the ball effectively removes the scuff marks when rubbed against the marks without scratching the floor surface.

Abstract: An emergency indoor television antenna is inserted between a cable television wall outlet and a television set that includes a coaxial cable connector. The antenna comprises a spacer containing an electrical conductor that connects to the central conductor of the coaxial cable connector of the television set on one end and to the shielding of the coaxial cable connected to the wall outlet for the television set on the other end. Optionally a switch may be included selectively to connect the electrical conductor to the shielding or to the central conductor of the coaxial cable.
