Some embodiments described in this disclosure are directed to one or more electronic devices that facilitate display of insights corresponding to a content item displayed in a playback user interface.

Abstract: A removable passive airflow oscillation device can be disposed within a pressurized wing structure utilized as a plenum. The passive airflow oscillation device can be a removable insert disposed into exterior vehicle surfaces with pressurization of a sealed chamber to provide the airflow. The device can include a cavity configured to receive the airflow from an ingress opening, direct the airflow therethrough to generate a predetermined oscillating airflow, and expel the oscillatory airflow from the egress opening. The removable passive airflow oscillation devices can provide quick and simple replacement and maintenance of damaged or clogged devices. The aft chamber of the flap seal can be sealed and pressurized to serve as a plenum providing the airflow to the actuators. The device can receive airflow, such as compressor air, and expel an oscillating airflow. Because each device is self-contained the number of devices and location thereof can vary by application.

Abstract: A torque regulating device (10) characterized by a disc (34) arranged to be fixedly attached to a shaft, discs (40, 50) of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW PE) friction material, a gear wheel (44) rotatably mounted about the shaft, the discs (40, 50) being respectively disposed between the disc (34) and the gear wheel (44) and between a further disc (52) and the gear wheel means (44) such that the discs (40, 50) are clampable to the gear wheel (44), wherein the disc (40, 50) is arranged cooled by oil, in use. The UHMW PE may be replaced by ceramic material in disclosed alternative embodiments.

Abstract: The her-1 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans has been isolated and sequenced. The her-1 gene encodes an amino acid sequence which induces male differentiation. Methods for recombinantly producing the her-1 protein and for transforming plants, bacteria and fungi with the her-1 gene to express the her-1 protein are disclosed.

Abstract: An improved linkage assembly (10) provides for locking the pivotable position of one member (12) relative to another member (14). The linkage assembly permits the unlocking of these members, their subsequent repositioning, and the reliable relocking in a desired position without utilizing tooling. The first member (12) includes a pair of spaced apart support flanges (24,26) each having a through aperture (28) therein defining a flange female spline (29). The second member (14) has an end (42) positioned between the pair of support flanges (24,26) and also includes a through aperture (46 ) defining a pair of second member female splines (47). A pair of control members (84,86) are each slidably moveable along the common axis (32) and extend through the respective flanges (24,26). Each control member (84,86) has a male splined portion (66) which normally engages both the respective flange female spline and the second member female spline to lock the rotatable position of the first and second members.
