Abstract: A method of automatically compensating a multi- or hyper-spectral, multi-pixel image for atmospheric effects, comprising resolving a plurality of spectrally-diverse pixels from the image, determining a spectral baseline from the spectrally-diverse pixels, determining a statistical spectral deviation of the spectrally-diverse pixels, normalizing the statistical spectral deviation by applying a scale factor, and compensating image pixels with both the spectral baseline and the normalized spectral deviation.

Abstract: A millable, vulcanizable elastomeric composition comprising two fluoroelastomer phases, phase 1 and phase 2, wherein fluoroelastomer phase 1 is present as crosslinked fluoroelastomer particles, and where fluoroelastomer phase 2 remains flowable until a final stage vulcanization occurs, and where fluoroelastomer phase 1 is present at between 5-85% by weight of the final composition.
Abstract: This invention features a hanger assembly for displaying product in a retail store environment, comprising an integral elongated hook member for carrying the product to be displayed, the hook member comprising a proximal end section, a distal end section, and an intermediate portion, wherein the intermediate portion comprises a first, inner, generally straight section adjacent to the proximal end section, and a first arcuate product hanging section adjacent to the inner section and adjacent to the distal end section; and a base member including means for removably fixing the base member to a display panel, the base member defining at least one receiving opening for receiving the proximal end section of the hook member, wherein the hook member can pivot horizontally about the end section, to allow the product being displayed to be moved horizontally.
