  • Publication number: 20240130095
    Abstract: A kit for radio frequency shielding a door frame, such as a radio frequency attenuation kit, comprises: an astragal retainer fixed to a door, where the astragal retainer is configured to couple a first radio frequency shielding gasket such that the first gasket overlaps a seam between the door and the door frame; and a second radio frequency shielding gasket which contacts the door when in a closed position, where the second gasket is fixed between a Z bracket and radio frequency tape; wherein the radio frequency tape is applied to the door frame.

  • Patent number: 9121964
    Abstract: A method to parameterize the geometry of a geological, subsurface feature such as a salt body is provided. Data corresponding to a subsurface, geological formation is acquired. The acquired formation data corresponds to a subsurface body having a certain geometry and a subsurface region. At least part of the subsurface body geometry is directly inverted into an inversion domain. The direct inversion includes partitioning the inversion domain into a first partitioned region, corresponding at least in part to the subsurface body, and a second partitioned region. The inversion further uses a level set representation to parameterize the subsurface body geometry. A computing system that includes a processor, a memory, and one or more programs stored in the memory is also provided. The programs comprise instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to perform the provided method.

  • Patent number: 9091784
    Abstract: A source wavefield is computed from encoded source data calculated by performing encoding of source wavelets with noise. A receiver wavefield is computed from encoded receiver data calculated by encoding of measured receiver data with the noise. An output representing a target structure is determined based on the source wavefield and the receiver wavefield.

  • Patent number: 9075160
    Abstract: To perform inversion to produce a model of a structure, a filtering operator based at least on an angle between a propagating direction of a source wavefield and a propagating direction of a back-propagated receiver wavefield is computed. The filtering operator is used in performing the inversion to produce the model of the structure.

  • Publication number: 20120022351
    Abstract: A method and system of supplying rodents, such as mice, to medical researchers pre-installs and/or embeds physiologic sensors onto or within the rodents prior to selling the modified rodents to the researchers. The specialty skills, such as small animal surgical and anesthesia skills and sensor placement and testing, are centralized in one organization rather than being spread about a collection of researchers. The subjects with preinstalled, pre-tested hardware, are sold to the researcher as needed. Communication hardware and software will be supplied for the user to convert their desktop computer into a wireless monitoring station. Additionally an external pulse oximeter for small rodents, such as mice, provides measurements on a hand or foot of the rodent with a sensor configured to avoid shunting around the rodent appendage, and configured for high heart rates (200-900 beats per minutes) of the subjects.

  • Publication number: 20080011763
    Abstract: A lid for a bowl of a food processor for processing a relatively large size or large volume of foodstuff including a top lid wall and a feed tube extending from the top lid wall along a feed axis. The feed tube including an inner feed surface defining a feed cavity and a mouth for accessing the feed cavity. A feed tube lid is movably secured to the mouth of the feed tube. A food pusher is movably mounted to the feed tube lid. The food pusher and feed tube lid cover the mouth of the feed tube when the feed tube lid and food pusher are in a working position. The food pusher is movable relative to the feed tube in first and second directions in the working position. The first direction is generally parallel to the feed axis and the second direction is generally perpendicular to the feed axis.

  • Publication number: 20070151463
    Abstract: A toaster for heating foodstuffs includes a chassis having a cavity therein and having at least one chassis opening for accessing the cavity. A door is movable with respect to the chassis between a closed position in which the door substantially covers the chassis opening, and an open position in which the cavity is accessible through the chassis opening. A carriage with at least one slot movable between a first position disposed completely within the cavity and a second position extending at least partially from the cavity through the chassis opening. The toaster has a heating configuration in which the carriage is in the first position and the door is in the closed position to confine the foodstuff being heated and create a generally enclosed chamber within the cavity in which heat and moisture loss is controlled.

  • Publication number: 20060180030
    Abstract: A brew basket for a hot beverage maker has a funnel-shape with a relatively wide top end and relatively narrow bottom end. A stepped support ring is integral in and defines a ledge around a circumference of the brew basket. A filter pod is supported on its periphery by the support ring during brewing. An adaptor can be integrally attached to the brew basket to give a user an option to place a second filter pod in the brew basket to yield more or stronger brewed beverage.

  • Publication number: 20050269434
    Abstract: A combination bowl and internal rotatable tray is for a food processor having a base housing. The bowl, having an inner surface area, is removably secured to the base housing. A lid, having an inner surface area, is removably securable to the bowl to create a processing chamber between the inner surface areas of the bowl and lid in an assembled position. The tray, disposed within the processing chamber, is rotatable with respect to at least one of the lid and the bowl. The tray has a peripheral wall, a base wall, and a plurality of interior walls. The interior walls extend from the peripheral wall to create a plurality of cavities. At least a portion of the tray is accessible by a user through at least one of the lid and the bowl in order to manually rotate the tray with respect to the bowl and the lid.

  • Publication number: 20050194484
    Abstract: A food processor for processing foodstuffs comprises a base housing, a motor, a drive shaft, a tool, a bowl, a lid and a tray. The tool is rotatably securable to the drive shaft and rotatable by the motor. The bowl is removably securable to the base housing and includes an inner surface area. The lid has an inner surface area. The lid is removably securable to the bowl to create a processing chamber between the inner surface areas of the bowl and lid in an assembled position. The tray is removably securable within the processing chamber and is manually rotatable relative to the bowl and lid, independently of the drive shaft and tool, in the assembled position.
