Abstract: Instances of a single brain computer interface (BCI) system can be implemented on multiple devices. An active instance can control the associated device. The instances can each communicate with a neural decoding system that can receive neural signals from a user, process the neural signals, and output a command based on the processed neural signals. A device running the active instance of can be in communication with the neural decoding system to receive a command. The device can include a display, a non-transitory memory storing instructions, and a processor to execute the instructions to: run an instance of a control program; and execute the task based on the command.

Abstract: Systems, method and computer readable medium are provided for automated storage and retrieval. User authentication information is received via a user interface for a dynamic storage and retrieval device. The user identity is verified based upon the authentication information and previously stored authentication data. Order information is retrieved for an order associated with the user following the verifying of user identity, the order information indicating one or more locations for items associated with the order. Instructions are transmitted to initiate a physical opening of at least one of the dynamic storage and retrieval device and at least one static storage location to enable the user to retrieve at least one item of the order, the static storage location including a controller controlling a locking mechanism and communicatively coupled to the dynamic storage and retrieval device.

Abstract: An interactive map may comprise image data associated with an area. First image data and second image data may comprise an indication of a subsection of the area at different times. At least a portion of the first image data and second image data may be output via the interactive map. The subsection of the area in the first image data and in the second image data may be output at corresponding positions. The interactive map may comprise an interactive icon. A user input may be received, via the interactive map, indicative of a movement of the interactive icon. Responsive to the user input, a part of the first image data or the second image data may be revealed and a part of the second image data or the first image data may be obscured in a direction corresponding to a direction of the movement of the interactive icon.

Abstract: Gestures for creating chemical structure symbols representing rings of carbon atoms on a touch screen device include circular motions that cause a touch screen enabled device to display symbols representing chemical structures or related information in response to the gestures.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatuses, and systems for generating an alert message based on a determined crossing of a weight threshold of a filter.

Abstract: Through the addition of tertiary air and a reduction of secondary air, NOx emissions from a waste-to-energy (WTE) boiler may be reduced. The tertiary air is added to the WTE at a distance from the secondary air, in a boiler region of relatively lower temperatures. A secondary NOx reduction system, such as a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) system using ammonia or urea, may also be added to the boiler with tertiary air to achieve desirable high levels of NOx reductions. The SNCR additives are introduced to the WTE boiler proximate to the tertiary air.

Abstract: A method of associating a Quality of Service priority with a Service Access Point (SAP) is disclosed. The method provides for provision of Quality of Service priorities on incoming data packets as per the configuration specified in the SAP associated with the data packet. The method allows for a configuration in which the incoming packet will specify its own QoS priority. The provisioning of Quality of service on a per SAP basis allows for a finer granularity of prioritizing of packets over Quality of Service methods known in the art.

Abstract: A low-profile multilayer cushion assembly which can be used to support the human body under various conditions. The cushion assembly generally includes a top layer of supportive material having a relatively high compression modulus, a middle layer of woven material, and a bottom layer. The bottom layer includes a matrix of supportive material having a relatively low compression modulus and an arrangement of inserts spread throughout the matrix having a relatively high compression modulus. In the preferred embodiment closed-cell polyurethane foam is used for the top layer and inserts, and open-cell polyurethane foam is used for the bottom layer matrix. The inserts are adhesively attached to the matrix to provide additional resistance to buckling. An optional protective cover encases the bottom layer, middle layer, and top layer.

Abstract: In a polishing configuration wherein a polishing material or slurry is applied to a surface of a rotating polishing pad and a product material mounted on a rotating carrier is moved into contact with the polishing material or slurry, the flow of the polishing material or slurry over the surface can be improved by fabricating spiral grooves or channels in the surface of the polishing pad and by mounting the product material is a cavity of the carrier, the cavity having grooves or channels in the side walls to provide a uniform flow over the product material. The angle between the spiral grooves or channels on the polishing pad and a diameter about the axis of rotation should be approximately 40.degree.. The spiral grooves or channels on the polishing pad can be combined with concentric grooves or channels to further improve the flow of polishing material. Similarly, the grooves or channels in the rotating carrier provide further uniformity for the interaction of the polishing material and the product material.

Abstract: A cooking device cooks food by using solar radiation, charcoal or similar solid burnable fuels, heating candles, gas, or electricity. The cooker includes a base and solar reflectors along opposite sides of the base. The reflectors pivot with respect to the base to focus solar radiation along an axis extending parallel to the reflectors. Food is supported along or adjacent the axis for cooking. A grate within the base supports charcoal or similar fuels and a gas burner and electric heating element are also supported by the base for use in cooking. A container can be mounted within the base for holding food to be cooked.

The security bar of the invention consists of a massive metallic or plastic bar member, preferably square or rectangular in cross-section, pivotally supported at one end by means of a bracket from an inoperative position to an operative position wherein the free end of the bar member is supported by a clip with the longitudinal axis of the bar member substantially orthogonal to the rear edge of the frame of the sliding door or window and to a fixed structural surface such as the door or window jamb.

Abstract: A two-wheel tractor is provided with an improved type of steerable two-wheel trailer having a steering mechanism which enables an operator of the tractor seated in the trailer to bring about turning movement of the tractor-trailer assembly in a natural and efficient manner by applying a lateral steering force to the handlebars of the tractor. This arrangement minimizes the steering force required upon the tractor handlebars and the amount of lateral movement thereof relative to the trailer while also providing enhanced lateral stability to the tractor and trailer assembly.
