The platforms, systems and methods provided herein may provide a data-driven workflow platform. The method comprises: mapping selected data objects to a data storage model of the data-driven workflow platform, where the selected data objects are stored in a data cloud configuration that is operatively coupled to the data-driven workflow platform; and displaying, on a graphical user interface (GUI), a flow for building a cloud application utilizing or managing the selected data objects. The interactive flow comprises at least one graphical element corresponding to a rule for automating an action triggered by a triggering event of the selected data objects.

The present invention provides soluble RAGE-Fc fusion proteins with increased stability and extended half-life capable of binding endogenous RAGE ligands with high apparent affinity. The present invention also provides methods of making and using stable, soluble RAGE-Fc fusion proteins. These soluble RAGE-Fc fusion proteins are useful as therapeutics based on their ability to bind endogenous RAGE ligands.

Systems and methods for recovering unmanned aircraft and controlling post-recovery motion of the aircraft are disclosed herein. An aircraft recovery system for handling an unmanned aircraft in accordance with one embodiment of the disclosure includes a base portion and an elongated aircraft capture member having a first end movably coupled to the base portion and a second, free end opposite the first end. The aircraft capture member includes a first portion and a second portion at a distal end of the first portion and positioned to intercept an unmanned aircraft in flight. The first and/or second portions are generally flexible. The system further includes an energy capture and dissipation assembly operably coupled to the aircraft capture member and positioned to receive at least a portion of the landing forces from the aircraft.

A beverage dispensing system using a sweetener. The beverage dispensing system may include a dispensing nozzle, a sweetener source with the sweetener at more than about 65&#xb0; brix, a first diluent source with a first diluent, a mixing chamber in communication with the sweetener source and the first diluent source so as to dilute the sweetener to less than about 65&#xb0; brix, and a second diluent source with a second diluent so as to dilute further the sweetener upstream of the dispensing nozzle.

A modified media key used to decrypt protected media content stored on an optical disc, such as an HD-DVD or Blu-ray disc, is created through application of a transformation using a constant value which is programmatically generated by procedural code that runs on a player. The transformation is obfuscated through application of a random value to the constant value through a logical XOR operation. The programmatically-generated constant, called Soft Key Conversion Data ('SKCD') is used by a security layer to derive the modified media key, called a Soft Media Key. At the player, a conventionally calculated media key is used to decrypt the first title, while the Soft Media Key is used to decrypt subsequent titles. Optionally, the SKCD may be updated one or more times so that the Soft Media Key is repeatedly transformed and respectively applied, for example, on a title-by-title basis, or to groups of subsequent titles.

A pumping system for pumping one out of a number of fluids with varying viscosities. The pumping system may include a positive displacement pump and a control for operating the positive displacement pump. The control may include viscosity compensation data. The viscosity compensation data relates to at least one of the fluids such that the control instructs the positive displacement pump to operate based on the viscosity of the fluid.

A cam shaft assembly (10) constructed from a plurality of lobes (14) spaced along the longitudinal axis of a tubular shaft member (12). Each lobe (14) is defined by a body portion (16) and a camming portion (20). The lobes (14) define a pair of oppositely facing radially extending side surface (22) which have axially extending shoulders (24) thereon. The shoulders (24) are for mating engagement with a gauging surface (44) to positively position the lobe (14) angularly with respect to the longitudinal axis while the lobes (14) are being secured to the tubular shaft member (12). The assembly (10) also includes bearing journals (18) on the tubular shaft member (12). A method and apparatus for making the cam shaft assembly (10) are also provided.

Cam lobe having orientating means

A cam shaft made from lobes having irregularly shaped apertures spaced along the longitudinal axis of a hollow tubular shaft. The method of making the cam shaft includes the steps of: inserting a hollow tubular shaft through the apertures of a plurality of the lobes axially and radially with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The method is characterized by flaring at least a first end of the shaft and backing the exterior of the first flared end to prevent axial radial movement thereof. In addition, a plug means is inserted into fluid sealing engagement with the interior of the first flared end to sandwich the flared end against the backing of the exterior thereof. The hollow shaft is filled with liquid and the opposite ends of the shaft are clamped between the plug means at the first flared end and a fluid sealing means at the opposite end of the hollow shaft. Hydraulic force is then applied to the interior of the shaft to expand the hollow shaft into engagement with the apertures of the lobes.
