Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a distortion-free pool-surface display beneath a swimmer. In one embodiment, projectors are positioned below a water level at opposite walls of a pool, and are configured to project images to a display surface at the bottom of the pool beneath a swimmer. A camera is used to view images projected by the projectors and to provide corresponding image data to an image correction platform on a graphics processing unit (GPU). The image correction platform identifies distortions in the images, generates image corrections that counter the identified distortions, and applies the corrections to subsequently projected images. The image correction platform also generates image adjustment that cause overlapping portions of the projected images to match seamlessly. The projected images may provide immersive experiences, coaching/training interfaces or other interactive displays.

Abstract: A child safety barrier system includes a plurality of elongated panel sections having a predetermined height and width. At least one support joint is connected between two of the plurality of panel sections to support the plurality of panels in a freestanding vertical orientation to form a panel assembly. A pair of telescoping anchors are positioned along each end of the panel assembly. Each of the telescoping anchors including a header assembly along the top end having an omnidirectional joint for positioning a malleable header block against the ceiling of a building in a plurality of different orientations.

Abstract: Time-resolved continuous detection of gas species concentration in breath is provided by optical spectroscopy. Preferably this is performed for both target and reference chemical species, so that the reference measurements can be used to assist in identifying breath cycle phases and to correct the target measurements for contamination by environmental air. Identification of breath cycle phases can be used to gate the data to select the most relevant parts (e.g., the data from when the contribution from alveolar air is maximal).

Abstract: A mounting mechanism for connecting a tractor unit to a guide track, the mounting mechanism includes a fixed block having a first set of rolling devices and a movable plate having a second set of rolling devices. The distance between the first and second sets of rolling devices is adjustable by moving the movable plate to engage or disengage the tractor unit to the guide track. A clamping assembly is provided with a shaft, cam spring, and cam handle for adjusting the distance between the first and second rolling devices. When the cam handle is in an open position, the distance between the rolling devices is greater than the width of the guide track and when the cam handle is in a closed position the distance between the rolling devices is approximately equal to the width of the guide track.

Abstract: A welding system for applying a weld to a workpiece, the welding system including a frame, a welding torch mounted on the frame, the welding torch including an electrode; a wire guide adapted to direct a wire toward the electrode; a wire alignment assembly including a fixture frame having a wire guide holder mounted thereon, the wire guide being supported on the wire guide holder, wherein the wire alignment assembly includes multiple degrees of freedom for adjusting the position of the wire guide as needed for a given welding operation.

Abstract: A method for making a decorative flower is disclosed, including folding a material to form a loop, applying an adhesive within a predetermined distance from at least one of two opposing outermost edges of the material to generate a receptacle region, forming a plurality of cuts along the loop, attaching a first end of the receptacle region to a first end of a holder, wrapping a predetermined length of the receptacle region around the holder to form a base of the decorative flower, and securing the receptacle region in wrapped form to the base is disclosed. The decorative flower generally includes a folded material having a plurality of cuts along a fold thereof and an uncut receptacle region, and a holder attached to the receptacle region. The plurality of cuts form a plurality of loops, and the receptacle region forms a base of the decorative flower conveying custom messages.

Abstract: The technology described herein generally pertains to a system related to a camera device and wire guide system that includes a bracket for a wire guide and a camera device, wherein the bracket aligns the camera device to aim on a position of a welding zone for an orbital welding system. In particular, the bracket supports a wire guide to be positioned on a welding zone while also supporting a camera device that can be positioned on the welding zone. The bracket enables the welding zone to be captured by the camera device and is centered on the wire guide to remain positioned on the welding zone. The bracket provides placement of a camera device to provide video/camera visibility of the welding zone while allows adjustment of the camera device with wire location adjustment or independent of wire location adjustment.

Abstract: The welding wire spool support wherein the housing is formed from a single sheet of material, the housing being attached to a base, wherein the base includes a spindle support extending upward therefrom, wherein the spindle is mounted on the spindle support; and wherein a wire feeder assembly is supported on the base and adapted to draw wire from the spool.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to small interfering RNA molecules (siRNA) targeted against an allele of interest, and methods of using these siRNA molecules.

Abstract: Techniques, systems, and devices are described for a weld head that includes an adjustable clamping mechanism with a quick release insert. In one aspect, a weld head having an adjustable clamping mechanism for clamping a welding work piece includes a weld head containment structure having an opening that receives a welding work piece, a clamping member located inside the opening of the weld head containment structure and including a pivot joint for clamping the welding work piece to the weld head, a handle member connected to the clamping member at the pivot joint to rotate the clamping member when the handle member is moved, and an actuator coupled to the clamping member to enable the clamping member to pivot on the pivot joint to different clamping positions for clamping welding work pieces of different sizes.

Abstract: A welding system for applying a weld to a workpiece, the welding system including a torch head frame, a welding torch supported on the frame, the welding torch including an electrode; a fillet adjustment assembly including a mounting block, wherein the torch head frame is pivotally attached to the mounting block and pivotable about a fillet axis, the fillet adjustment assembly including a fillet locking assembly adapted to hold the torch head at a selected fillet angle relative to the mounting block. The welding system also includes a lead lag axis about which the torch head is adjusted.

Abstract: A method for providing interactive voice response (IVR) includes providing, by an IVR telephone system, to a telephone caller connected to the IVR telephone system, an auditory prompt informing the user of the availability of a visual menu system useable in lieu of the IVR telephone system. The caller is forwarded, by the IVR telephone system, to a passive telephone access point (PTAP). A notification is sent, by the PTAP, to the caller via a communication channel distinct from the voice communication channel via which the caller connected to the IVR telephone system. The notification includes information for directing the caller to connect to the visual menu system. The caller connects to the visual menu system using the information provided in the notification.
