摘要： A kiosk comprises: a motion sensor; electronics; and a speaker. The motion sensor senses a customer adjacent to the kiosk. The electronics, which are communicatively coupled to the sensor, determine if the customer has lingered by the kiosk for a period of time. The speaker, which is communicatively coupled to the electronics, emits an aural greeting if it is determined that the customer has not lingered.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for supporting an additional data source in a system adapted for processing data from one or more data sources are disclosed. A design-time driver for the additional data source is obtained, where the design-time driver supports the definition of data including one or more fields of the additional data source to retrieve from the additional data source. In addition, a run-time driver for the additional data source is obtained, where the run-time driver supports retrieval of data corresponding to the one or more fields from the additional data source and where the run-time driver has a second application programming interface. The design-time driver is executed via a first application programming interface, where the first application programming interface enables definition of the data including the one or more fields to be retrieved from the additional data source. The data is then retrieved from the additional data source via the run-time driver using the second application programming interface.

摘要： A system includes a recommendation engine, product database and interface. The recommendation engine determines one or more recommended product clusters from the product database based on a request for a healthcare product recommendation based on a symptom. The interface, which is communicatively coupled to the engine, displays the one or more recommended product clusters. The product clusters are organized based on at least one common attribute, such as active ingredient.

摘要： Architecture that enhances the visual experience of a slide presentation by animating slide content as “actors” in the same background “scene”. This is provided by multi-layered transitions between slides, where a slide is first separated into “layers” (e.g., with a level of transparency). Each layer can then be transitioned independently. All layers are composited together to accomplish the end effect. The layers can comprise one or more content layers, and a background layer. The background layer can further be separated into a background graphics layer and a background fill layer. The transition phase can include a transition effect such as a fade, a wipe, a dissolve effect, and other desired effects. To provide the continuity and uniformity of presentation the content on the same background scene, a transition effect is not applied to the background layer.

摘要翻译： 通过在同一背景“场景”中将幻灯片内容作为“演员”动画来增强幻灯片演示的视觉体验的体系结构。 这是通过幻灯片之间的多层过渡来提供的，其中幻灯片首先被分成“层”（例如，具有透明度级别）。 然后可以独立地转换每一层。 所有层合成在一起以达到最终效果。 这些层可以包括一个或多个内容层和背景层。 背景层可以进一步分为背景图形层和背景填充层。 过渡阶段可以包括过渡效果，例如褪色，擦拭，溶解效应和其它所需效果。 为了提供在相同背景场景上呈现内容的连续性和一致性，过渡效果不适用于背景层。

摘要： A vehicle (12) including a control system (18) is used for controlling vehicle attitude or angular velocity (38). The processor (24) is coupled to a star sensor or tracker (22) and a memory (30) that may include a star catalog (32), and an exclusion list (36). The exclusion list (36), a list of stars to be temporarily excluded from consideration when determining attitude or angular velocity or relative alignment of star sensors or trackers, is calculated on-board. Such a calculation prevents the necessity for a costly, periodic, ground calculation and upload of such data. By manipulating the star catalog, or sub-catalogs derived from said catalog, based upon the exclusion list (36), measurements of such excluded stars are prevented from corrupting the attitude or angular velocity or alignment estimates formulated on board.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for joining two or more tables are disclosed. A query including a join query is received, where the join query requests that a new table be generated from data obtained from two or more tables, where the two or more tables are stored at two or more data sources. One or more columns for each of the tables for which data is to be obtained are identified from the query. A query plan to execute the query to obtain data for the identified columns from the two or more tables is then generated.

摘要： An improved process is provided for the production of chlorine dioxide and chlorine wherein a chlorine dioxide generator may be operated interchangeably in either sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid mode without changing acidity levels or evacuating the liquor of one mode and refilling with liquor of the second mode before continuing generation. The versatile process for production of chlorine dioxide comprises maintaining saturated solutions of both alkali metal chloride and alkali metal sulfate in the generator at an acid normality of from about 2 to about 11 in the presence of a small amount of catalyst selected from the group consisting of vanadium pentoxide, silver ions, manganese ions, dichromate ions and arsenic ions. Thus, the instant process provides high yields of chlorine dioxide even at high acidities making it possible to manufacture balanced quantities of saltcake and alkali metal chloride by-products as may be required.

摘要： A method of providing offers for sales of combinations of virtual items at discounted prices is disclosed. An offer is generated for a sale of a combination of virtual items at a discounted price. The offer for the sale of the combination of virtual items at the discounted price is presented to a user. The presenting suggests to the user that the combination of virtual items is randomly selected from a set of virtual items and the discounted price is randomly selected from a set of discounted prices, the presenting of the offer being performed by a processor. However, in actuality, the combination of virtual items or the discounted price may not be selected randomly.
