The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus GOOGLE LLC v. ORACLE AMERICA, INC. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT No. 18–956. Argued October 7, 2020—Decided April 5, 2021 Oracle America, Inc., owns a copyright in Java SE, a computer platform that uses the popular Java computer programming language. In 2005, Google acquired Android and sought to build a new software platform for mobile devices. To allow the millions of programmers familiar with the Java programming language to work with its new Android plat- form, Google copied roughly 11,500 lines of code from the Java SE pro- gram. The copied lines are part of a tool called an Application Pro- gramming Interface (API). An API allows programmers to call upon prewritten computing tasks for use in their own programs. Over the course of protracted litigation, the lower courts have considered (1) whether Java SE’s owner could copyright the copied lines from the API, and (2) if so, whether Google’s copying constituted a permissible “fair use” of that material freeing Google from copyright liability. In the proceedings below, the Federal Circuit held that the copied lines are copyrightable.

  • Federal Pacific Electric Circuit Breaker Replacement Alert
    LOSS PREVENTION SAFETY TOPICS Federal Pacific Electric Circuit Breaker Replacement Alert Federal Pacific Electric Company manufactured Stab-Lok circuit breakers from the 1950’s to the 1980’s. The breakers were produced for both commercial and residential applications. Issues As many as one million FPE with the breakers surfaced in 1980 with the FPE two-pole stab-lok Stab-Lok breakers currently circuit breaker that was found to jam while attempting to trip in an in use may fail to provide overcurrent scenario. proper fire protection. The primary issue with these type of breakers includes failing to trip at 135% and 200% of rated current (1). Additionally, the double pole breakers are found to mechanically jam. This means that a commercial or residential structure with these breaker panels has a probability of not functioning as needed when a circuit is “overloaded”. A comparison may be made to replacing a blown Edison type fuse with a slug or penny, effectively overriding the protection necessary for an electric circuit. Testing of FPE stab-lok circuit breakers was conducted by multiple companies in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. They included FPE (and its parent company, Reliance Electric), Southwest Research Incorporated, Underwriters Laboratories, Consumer Product Safety Commission and Wright-Malta Corp. (for the CPSC). Only the CPSC/Wright-Malta test results were made public. Despite the CPSC findings that 85% of the double-pole breakers and 39% of the single-pole breakers failed one or more of the UL How To Identify an FPE Breaker test criteria at 200% of rated current (2), a press release was issued A Federal Pacific Electric panel will usually have its name or in 1983 stating that the CPSC was “unable at this time to link these logo on the front cover.

  • Google Cast for Education J. Stergis, Last Rev. 9-21-17
    Google Cast for Education What does it do? It allows students to "cast" their Chromebook screens onto a teacher's computer. Basically it's an easy way for students to present something to the class assuming the teacher's computer is connected to a projector. How does it work? As a teacher, you would launch the "Google Cast for Education" extension from within Google Chrome. When launched, it allows you to name your device (Room 301, for example) and select students that can see it to cast to it. You can individually select students or you can add an entire class from Google Classroom. When a student connects, you will get a box asking you to allow or reject, then their screen will appear full screen on your computer (and, by extension, on the projector). It even seemed to work well with audio and video when I tried it out. Any Caveats? Just one that I've discovered so far: It won't work across VLANs. This means that you need to use a district laptop on the CBRSD-Academic network for Chromebooks to see it. Are there steps available that show how to set it up? Yes, you'll find them here: https://support.google.com/edu/castforedu#setup I have already added the extension to all teacher Google Accounts, so make sure you sign into the Chrome browser then you can start on step 4 of those instructions. Or, follow along here: To sign into Chrome: 1. Open Chrome. 2. In the top right, click the button with your name or People .

  • History of El Sereno 1 Message
    Richard Williams <[email protected]> History of El Sereno 1 message El Sereno Historical Society <[email protected]> Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 2:02 PM To: Richard Williams <[email protected]> Hi Mr. Williams, please submit the attached PDF and this e-mail to Motion 11-2057 as a public comment. The attachment is a pdf copy of the researched History of El Sereno. This document is a respected, accurate, and well researched which is held as a reference by the Los Angeles City Public Library. This document provides accurate information on the History of El Sereno and contradicts the file that Anthony Manzano has submitted as the archived history of Rose Hills. A simple comparison of the two documents will show the difference between a well researched and accurate document, as is the history of El Sereno, to one that has superficial research and almost no evidence, such as the archived history of Rose Hills. It is also important to point out that although the front page of the archived history of Rose Hills states that it has been submitted to the Historical Society of Southern California for consideration and support in recognizing the community of Rose Hills, the archived history of Rose Hills has already been rejected by the Historical Society of Southern California for its lack of research and lack of supporting evidence.
