Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and a method of monitoring a queue that allow for exactly recognizing objects in a queue and exactly monitoring the situation of the queue by tracking the recognized objects, using depth detection device such as a TOF camera. According to the present invention, it is possible to map a space and an image using depth information provided through a depth detection device without mapping a 3D space to an image taken by a camera and exactly measure the actual heights of objects from the ground using depth information of the objects and the background and initial parameters of the depth detection device so that desired objects can be exactly detected and recognized in filtering. Accordingly, the system can be less complicated. Further, waiting time is assigned to recognized objects so that they can be easily tracked.

Abstract: A liquid cooling block consisting essentially of carbon for use with electric devices generating heat, comprising in combination; the cooling block contains grain in substantially normal orientation to the heat transfer surface between the cooling block and the electric device; a chamber with a bottom wall having prismatic projections for surface increase; the coolant is injected into the center of the cooling chamber and moves centrifugally towards block outlet channels in heat transfer relation with said projections; and, wherein the cooling block communicates with a cooler receiving coolant from the outlet channels of the liquid cooling block.

Abstract: A cooling device for an electric component or components, includes a coolant liquid circulation system, a carbon-based heat intake block for transferring heat from said electrical component or components, a top layer on the carbon block for increasing thermal inertia during heat transfer via said layer by system coolant, and means whereby the heated coolant transfers heat to a heat remover.

Abstract: A herbal based formulation for treatment of horses and dogs to alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis comprises a mixture of devils claw and comfrey, preferably also including dandelion, burdock and nettles, as an intimate admixture, added to the animal's feed.

Abstract: A novel process for the packaging of double-side coated X-ray films is described. This process employs the use of plastic or plastic or polymer coated cardboard as top and bottom stiffening members in a stack of sheets of the X-ray film. The top and bottom sheets of film packaged in this manner will harden in the same way as the remainder of the sheets whereas film packaged with conventional, plain cardboard stiffening members will not.
