Abstract: A system with a flow deflector that generally directs the flow of multiple fluids, such as lubricants and/or coolants, so as to reduce fluid flow collisions or other flow hinderances. With this system, motor temperatures are able to be more tightly controlled, with less power loss to heat. When used in an electric motor, the flow deflector baffles most of the oil from one side of the motor to enable the oil from a single side or end of the motor to flow unimpeded through a rotor-stator gap. The flow deflector is further shaped to guide fluid radially outwards towards the sump so as to further reduce interactions between the various oil flow paths.

Abstract: A heat exchanger positioned within an annular duct of a gas turbine engine is provided. The heat exchanger extends substantially continuously along the circumferential direction and defining a heat exchanger height equal to at least 10% of a duct height. An effective transmission loss (ETL) for the heat exchanger positioned within the annular duct is between 5 decibels and 1 decibels for an operating condition of the gas turbine engine. The heat exchanger includes a heat transfer section defining an acoustic length (Li), and wherein an Operational Acoustic Reduction Ratio (OARR) is greater than or equal to 0.75 to achieve the ETL at the operating condition.

The facets of the video game may one or more of availability of game characters for use in play of the video game, characteristics of the game characters, availability or characteristics of in-game items, or game player status.

Abstract: An implant includes a body including a substrate and a bone interfacing lattice disposed on the substrate. The bone interfacing lattice includes at least two layers of elongate curved structural members. In addition, the at least two layers of elongate curved structural members include a first layer adjacent the substrate and a second layer adjacent the first layer. Also, the first layer has a first deformability and the second layer has a second deformability, wherein the second deformability is greater than the first deformability. Further, one or more of the elongate curved structural members may have a spiraling geometry.

Abstract: A hat holder for effectively holding a hat in a manner and position simulating the position that the hat would take when placed on a person's head, effectively displaying the front portion of the hat and maintaining the shape of the hat without leaving any marks on the hat. The device includes a magnet that creates a magnetic bond with the ferrous part of the hat, a general hat form being additional support for maintaining the general shape of a hat, an arm that connects from the support structure to the base and a base which allows the hat to be supported from various support structures including but not limited to a vertical wall surface or the like with the orientation enabling the hat to be positioned generally in the attitude that the hat would assume when placed on a person's head.

Abstract: This invention relates to metal organic framework (MOF) compositions, methods of preparing them and methods of using them. The MOF compositions are characterized in that at least a portion of the linker molecule is an amino containing organic linker. The MOF also has a crystal size of greater than 1 ?m and has been treated with an acid wash to provide a MOF in which at least 55% of the amino groups are activated amino groups of the form —NH2. The MOF compositions are useful in adsorbing various contaminants from various gas stream. One specific example is adsorbing NO2 from an air stream.

Abstract: A multi-layer fabric construction for protection from airborne toxic chemical agents comprises an optional inner comfort layer, a carbon layer, an adsorbent adhesive layer comprising a metal organic framework material, a vapor permeable layer, and an outer layer. The multi-layer fabric construction is substantially free of air pockets to reduce the thermal burden on an individual wearing a garment fabricated from the multi-layer fabric construction. The MOF can be a zirconium MOF. Also disclosed is a method of making the multi-layer fabric construction.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a deodorizing composition including hydrogen peroxide, present in an amount of no more than 3 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition; silver ions, present in an amount in the range of 1-1000 ppm, based on the total weight of the composition; and water, present in an amount of at least 90 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: An erroneous transmission, of a record of data, to a distributed ledger system can be prevented. A first operation can confirm that a format of a content within the record of data is correct. A second operation can confirm that formats of elements of a set of information, about authorizations used to cause the record of data to be communicated via the distributed ledger system, are correct. A third operation can confirm that subject matters of the elements and a subject matter of the record of data are the same. A fourth operation can retrieve credentials associated with entities that produced the elements. A fifth operation, using the credentials, can confirm that the entities that produced the elements were authorized to produce them. A sixth operation can confirm that the set of information is sufficient to authorize causing the record of data to be communicated via the distributed ledger system.

Abstract: A computer based system and method for identifying complaint interactions, including: detecting appearances of linguistic structures related to complaints in an interaction; calculating at least one sentiment metric of the interaction; and classifying the interaction as being or not being a complaint interaction based on the detected linguistic structures and the at least one sentiment metric, for example using a trained supervised learning model.

Abstract: The method for storing streaming media includes receiving, from a user device, a request to navigate to a requested time of a media stream. The method also includes determining whether a block of media segments that have a time interval that overlaps with the requested time is stored at the server. The method also includes retrieving the block of media segments from long-term memory in accordance with a determination that the block of media segments is not stored at the server. The method also includes traversing the block of media segments that have a time interval that overlaps with the requested time of the media stream to seek and identify a media segment corresponding to the requested time of the media stream. The method also includes streaming a media stream to the user device that begins at the media segment corresponding to the requested time of the media stream.
