Abstract: A thickness detection experiment platform, including: a motion simulation module adapted to drive a product to be detected to perform a predetermined simulation motion simulating various motions of the product on an actual production line and a thickness detection module adapted to detect a thickness of the product driven by the motion simulation module. The motion simulation module may drive the product to be detected to simulate various motions of the product on the actual production line. Thus, conditions of the product on the actual production line may be simulated and reproduced in the laboratory. As a result, the thickness detection experiment platform may be debugged offline in the laboratory without debugging online, normal production of the actual production line is not affected, and debugging of the thickness detection experiment platform becomes easier.

Abstract: A collapsible backrest may include a cover and a back panel retained within a first compartment of the cover. A base panel flexibly coupled to the back panel and retained within a second compartment of the cover with the central panel and the base panel defining a notch. A central panel may be flexibly coupled to the base panel and retained within a third compartment of the cover. An end panel may also be flexibly coupled to the central panel and retained within a fourth compartment of the cover. The central panel and the end panel define a cavity. The base panel, the central panel, and the end panel form a triangular support structure in a deployed position. The base panel, the central panel, and the end panel may also be arranged end-to-end and substantially parallel to the back panel in a stowed position.

Abstract: An online thickness detection platform having a first laser sensor and a second laser sensor that detect a thickness of a product passing between the first arm and the second arm of a C-type frame on which the first laser sensor and a second laser sensor, respectively are adjustably mounted. The first laser sensor and the second laser sensor do not contact the product during detecting the thickness of the product. Because the thickness of the product is detected online, the thickness of the product is monitored in real-time. When the thickness of the product exceeds or falls below an allowed value range, production of the product is stopped, thereby avoiding producing a large number of unqualified products with a thickness out of the allowed value range and waste is prevented.

The fermented ginseng berry Pleurotus ferulae product is useful for anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, collagen synthesis facilitation, skin wrinkle care, whitening, moisturizing, skin barrier improvement and atopy alleviation.

Abstract: An inertia reel interface for stowable seats is provided. The inertia reel interface may allow for simple access and replacement of inertia reels during maintenance. The inertia reel interface may comprise an inertia reel beam, a payout tube, and one or more inertia reels coupled to the inertia reel beam. The inertia reel beam may deploy a shoulder harness webbing over the payout tube. The payout tube may pivot to a first access position or a second access position to allow for maintenance of the inertia reel interface components.

Abstract: A method for operating a two-dimensional touch array by providing virtual grid intersections. The techniques may be used to improve the array resolution. It may also be used to detect fingerprint ridge and valley detail even when the finger is not moving, and when the array node spacing is much greater than the ridge and valley spacing.

Abstract: A liquid monitoring system includes a remote measurement device located at a location of the fire hydrant that is in contact with water provided by a water main. The remote measurement device has sensors that measure characteristics of the water and a communication interface that transmits measured information to a communication network device that may be located elsewhere on the fire hydrant. The communication network device communicates with a communication network.

Abstract: A lumbar support system for an aircraft seat includes a deformable lumbar support basket having a proximate end and a distal end. The system includes a shape memory alloy tension cable in communication with the proximate end of the deformable lumbar support basket, and the distal end of the deformable lumbar support basket. The shape memory alloy tension cable has a changeable tension length with an electric current through the cable. The system also includes a controller operatively connected with the shape memory alloy tension cable. The controller transmits the electric current through the shape memory alloy tension cable based on the user actuation. The electric current causes the shape memory alloy tension cable to deform the lumbar support basket by tension force applied to the proximate end of the deformable lumbar support basket and the distal end of the deformable lumbar support basket.

Abstract: A seat is disclosed. The seat includes a frame, a seat pan connected to the frame and a backrest. The backrest includes a main panel, an upper panel hingedly connected to the main panel and a lower panel hingedly connected to the main panel. The upper panel is connected to the frame and the lower panel is connected to the seat pan.
