Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for predicting the structural status of an object. An object model, such as a machine learning model, can be trained on sample sensor data indicating vibrations, movements, and/or other reactions of objects with known desired and undesired structural statuses to a stimulus agent, such as a puff of air. A scanning device can output a corresponding stimulus agent towards an object, capture sensor data indicating the reaction of the object to the stimulus agent, and provide the sensor data to the trained object model. Based on the sensor data indicating how the object reacted to the stimulus agent, the object model can predict whether the object has a desired structural status or an undesired structural status.

Abstract: A truck bed camping and storage platform is provided. The platform is capable of being installed and removed from the rear (tailgate) of the pickup truck without the need to enter the truck bed. The platform is capable of providing cargo storage space between the platform support legs below, and a surface to sleep on above that is not constrained by the wheel wells in the truck bed. There may also be small side compartments for storage outside the legs of the baseframe of the platform and in front of and/or behind one or more of the wheel wells of the truck. The platform has the capability to be disassembled when not in use for easier storage and transportation.

Abstract: A mounting bracket having more desirable utility as compared to known embodiments includes a first flat surface for mounting to a box, shelf, or structure, and a second curved surface for mounting to the header of a railing or fence. The bracket can mount to multiple boxes, shelves, and structures, and does not require tools for installation to the railing or fence.

Abstract: A magnetically assisted dermatological treatment method incorporates a pre-treatment protocol, a magnetically assisted dermatological procedure, and a post treatment protocol in order to assist in the displacement of magnetically active pigments trapped between the dermis and epidermis layers of a patient's skin. The method utilizes the pre-treatment protocol to condition the patient's skin, loosening up the pigments that are trapped between the dermis and the epidermis through magnetically assisted means. After which, a laser photothermolytic procedure is administered by a magnetically assisted light emitting apparatus which attracts and dislodges pigments absorption and magnetic properties. Finally, after the laser phototherapy, the patient's treated area undergoes a post treatment protocol which assists in the healing and recovery process while additionally assisting in preventing the pigments from becoming trapped again within the dermis and epidermis layers.

Abstract: A system for managing messages on a queue is provided comprising a first module operable to read a plurality of messages from the queue and a second module operable to display the plurality of messages from the queue. A method of viewing messaging service messages is also provided. The method comprising selecting a host computer, selecting a queue supported by the messaging service, reading a message from the queue, and displaying a content of the message. Also provided is a method of testing an application which generates messages, comprising running the test application, generating a message by the test application, posting the message to a queue, selecting the queue, and reading the message on the queue to verify whether the test application is operating properly.

Abstract: A method of removing a pin from a hole including a) drilling a first hole of a first diameter in the pin a selected fraction of a length dimension of the pin and attempting removal of the pin; b) if the pin cannot be removed, drilling a second hole of a second diameter smaller than the first diameter an extended fraction of the length dimension of the pin; and c) removing the pin.

Abstract: A method for reducing or eliminating cravings associated with habitual substance abuse by administering to a human a synergistic composition containing an effective amount of each of Glutamine, gamma aminobutyric acid, tyrosine, taurine, theanine, 5-hydroxtryptamine, phenylethylamine, phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidyl choline, inositol, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pyridoxin, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid, cyanocobalamin, chromium polynicotinate magnesium, and decosahexaenoic acid. The pharmaceutical composition can be administered after complete cessation of a given habit forming substance, or to nullify cravings and to reduce abuse of a given habit forming substance, without total and complete remittance prior to administration of the composition. Worthy of note, all constituents found in this composition may be derived by synthetic means, or from natural sources.
