Abstract: A chemical precursor container is disclosed. The container includes a vessel and a lid that define an interior volume, an inlet conduit, an outlet conduit, and a flow distributor positioned inside the vessel and in fluid flow communication with the inlet conduit. The flow distributor has an annular shape and includes a distributor floor having a plurality of apertures formed therein for expelling carrier gas therethrough. The flow distributor includes an inner annular wall that defines a porthole in the flow distributor that allows fluid to pass through the flow distributor from the interior volume of the vessel to the outlet conduit.

Abstract: In one respect, the invention is an improved valve block design having minimal or no deadlegs that improves the efficiency of a system purge process. In another respect, the invention is a system incorporating said improved valve block design.

Abstract: Audio/video recorders are presented for recording audio and video of various types of proceedings, including court proceedings. In some examples, audio/video recorders may obtain case information associated with a case identifier from a case management database, and associate at least some of the case information with one or more audio channel inputs of the audio interface. In some examples, audio/video recorders may associate a speaker with an audio channel input of the audio interface, determine that an amplitude of an audio signal received at the audio channel input is above a threshold, determine a time when the amplitude of the audio signal at the audio channel was determined to be above the threshold, and generate metadata as a timeline indicating that the first speaker began speaking at the first time.

Abstract: Examples include printing devices configured for use with a plurality of replaceable supplies. A remaining amount of printing material may be monitored for each replaceable supply. A set of one or more replaceable supplies to be replaced may be determined based at least in part on the remaining amount of printing material for each replaceable supply and an amount of printing material corresponding to performing a service routine for supply replacement.

Abstract: A replaceable printing fluid supply carrier for a continuous ink supply system of a printer is described in some examples. The printing fluid supply carrier comprises a printing fluid container carrier and a cover part connected to the printing fluid container carrier. When the printing fluid supply carrier is installed to the printer with a supply door opening an opening to a printing fluid supply area the cover part covers the opening to the printing fluid supply area.

Abstract: In one example of the disclosure, environmental data indicative of an environmental factor measured at a printer is received via a network. The receipt of the environmental data is via an authorized non-anonymous data flow from the printer. Instructions for a service event to occur at the printer are determined based upon the environmental data. The service event instructions are sent, via the network, to the printer to cause the printer to perform the service event.

Abstract: A method for providing an activity management tool includes receiving a user request for an activity overview, and identifying installed applications and open windows of the installed applications. The method further includes presenting an activity overview graphical user interface (GUI) having a first area and a second area. The first area includes visual indicators of the installed applications. The second area includes the open windows of the installed applications, where the open windows are resized and positioned in such a way as to be simultaneously viewable by the user.

Abstract: A method and system for assigning labels to desktop items is described.

Abstract: In response to a first message received at a desktop of a data processing system from a message source, at least a portion of the first message is displayed in an area along an edge of a desktop screen presented by the desktop. In response to a first signal indicating that a cursor has been positioned within a predetermined distance of the displayed first message, further detailed information of the first message is displayed by increasing size of the area towards the edge of the desktop screen in an animated fashion, including displaying an input field without launching a separate window or process to allow a user to respond to the first message. In response to a second message entered into the input field by the user, the desktop transmits the second message to the message source.

Abstract: A method and system for time-based organization of desktop items is described.

Abstract: In one respect, the invention is an improved diptube design for a container for containing and dispensing a liquid chemical, the diptube generating a spring force when compressed that acts to maintain a bottom end of the diptube in contact with a bottom interior surface of the container and a notch located at a bottom edge of the bottom end of the diptube that creates a flow communication between the diptube and the interior volume of the base portion of the container. In another respect, the invention is a method of constructing a container having these limitations.

Abstract: A method and system for collecting, aggregating, and displaying type specific content in an inbox like view are described. An inbox manager collects information about data objects that are stored locally and stored remotely. This information may be stored as inbox information on a local computing system. Using the inbox information, the inbox manager creates an inbox view of merged inbox items from the local data objects and the remote data objects. The inbox view is configured to display the inbox items as being merged into a single view regardless of where the respective data objects are stored.
