Abstract: A UI editing machine may edit a target UI. The machine may access an image that depicts a window of the target UI. The machine may access a theme configuration for the target UI. The machine may display the image and a color selector operable by a user to select a proposed color for a portion of the image that depicts an element of the target UI. The machine may receive a color selection generated by the color selector. The machine may generate a modified version of the image by modifying the color of the portion of the image depicting the element to the proposed color. The machine may display the modified version of the image on a display device. The machine may modify the theme configuration for the target UI to specify the proposed color of the element.

Abstract: A system for active dynamic balancing of a rotating tool driven by a motor having a shaft supported by a first and second bearing on opposing sides of the motor includes an acceleration sensing assembly configured to sense radial accelerations on the shaft producing an acceleration signal indicative of the radial accelerations. A correcting mass assembly is configured to rotate with the shaft and to move at least one mass radially to the shaft responsive to a correcting signal. A controller is configured to receive the acceleration signal generating a correcting signal by means of a closed loop iterative algorithm.

Abstract: Methods of fabricating electromagnet assemblies are disclosed. In one embodiment, a includes forming a first helix and a second helix, each helix having a first end and a second end and a substantially oval cross-section, the cross-section having a major axis, each helix being configured to concentrate electromagnetic flux at a midpoint on the major axis. Each helix is bent at an angle and offset from the major axis, resulting in a first planar surface including the major axis and a second planar surface. The first and second helixes are oriented such that the outer edges of the respective second planar surfaces coincide and the outer edges of the respective first planar surfaces are in diametric opposition. The first and second helixes are affixed by their respective second planar surfaces, and electrically connected by their respective second ends.

Abstract: A device for allowing a person to ride a unicycle is disclosed. The device easily attaches to a unicycle to allow a person to ride the unicycle. The device has two modes of operation; it can at least partially stabilize the unicycle in two degrees of rotation, yaw and pitch or it can stabilize the unicycle in only the pitch rotation.

Abstract: An electromagnet assembly for supplying a region of concentrated electromagnetic flux is provided. The assembly includes a flat strip of an electrically conductive metal. The strip has a first and a second opposite planar surfaces at least one of which is covered by a dielectric material. The strip has first and second end portions. The strip is wound in a coil including at least one first loop and one second loop and disposing the second opposite planar surface in the first loop substantially-adjacent the first opposite planar surface in the second loop. The coil is disposed about an axis of symmetry configured to concentrate electromagnetic flux at a midpoint on the axis of symmetry. First and second electrical terminals are connected at the first and second end portions, respectively.

Abstract: A soluble rivet tape is provided. The tape includes a soluble film and an adhesive coating that is applied to one or more sections of the soluble film. A plurality of rivets are inserted into place on a product, such as an airplane. The soluble rivet tape is applied to the product over the placed rivets. The plurality of rivets are set and the soluble rivet tape is removed. Any remaining rivet tape on the product is dissolved during a washing process.
