Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for providing asynchronous web service calls in an on-demand services environment. In response to request from a remote client, a page is provided. The page has content including logic to retrieve information from a remote resource external to an on-demand services environment via at least one asynchronous web service call. A controller component of the page is loaded before rendering a response to the remote computing device. At least one web service call is sent to the remote resource with the controller component. A continuation object is returned with the controller component to release the first thread from waiting for a response to the web service call. The continuation object provides a label to be used when handling the response. The response to the web service call is received from the remote resource and processing is resumed with the continuation object.

When the one end portion of the first clamp ring component and the one end portion of the second clamp ring component are tightly locked, the two stress structures and the fixing structure are in a squeezed and close fit state.

Abstract: A three-way clamp includes a first clamp shell and a second clamp shell capable of being connected to or detached from each other. Each of the first clamp shell and the second clamp shell includes three engaging portions. The engaging portion includes an accommodating cavity. The two clamp shells are respectively provided with an engaging claw and an engaging groove. A connector prefabricated component including the clamp includes a connecting pipe fixed in the clamp body, wherein the accommodating cavity is provided with a sealing component for sleeving pipe opening. During construction, a straight pipe to be connected is inserted into the sealing component. Then the clamp body is tightened, and the sealing component tightly presses on a pipe body of the straight pipe to achieve sealing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing digital image data representing multiple views of an object of interest use a sparse set of digital images along with object of interest profiling to provide a photo gallery for evidence-related workflows. Digital images are related to each other on the basis of common objects of interest represented in the images and their orientations within the views depicted in each image. Object of interest profile datasets, including spatial orientation data, enable efficient tracking of photography sessions in which a set of prescribed views of an object of interest are meant to be captured, as well as object-orientation-based photo gallery navigation. The systems recognize of a set of physical gestures that enable a user to intuitively navigate among digital images depicting different views of an object of interest based on how they were physically related to each other when captured.

Abstract: A rule handler may receive a first routing rule and a second routing rule, each routing rule characterizing at least one potential physical transportation route. A rule converter may convert the first routing rule and the second routing rule into a first finite automaton (FA) and a second finite automaton, respectively, and may combine the first finite automaton and the second finite automaton into a finite automaton network graph. A graph comparator may then compare the finite automaton network graph to existing physical transportation routes, and a route selector may select, based on the comparing, at least one feasible physical transportation route from the existing physical transportation routes, the at least one feasible physical transportation route being an instance of the at least one potential physical transportation route.
