Abstract: An accessory door handle can be clamped onto an existing door handle currently installed in the door. The accessory door handle can be dedicated for use when an individual is wearing gloves, so that the existing door handle may be reserved for use when not wearing a glove. This decreases the chances of contamination and makes the handles easier to clean. The accessory door handle is suitable for use in laboratory and clean room conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of extracting a faulty section of an optical path using a super resolution algorithm. The method includes generating a MUSIC spectrum by applying a MUSIC algorithm or an improved MUSIC algorithm to a received signal. Pieces of data on the received signal are divided into predetermined unit groups, and the MUSIC algorithm or the improved MUSIC algorithm is performed only on a unit group in which a signal corresponding to a reflection event occurs, among the predetermined unit groups.

Abstract: For bridges over waterways which are susceptible to scour, the load carrying capacity of the substructure may be reduced by scour. These bridges must be evaluated for reduced load rating and/or posting limits. Here, the substructure load rating is used in connection with calculating the bridge load rating. This is often limited by the substructure load carrying capacity and the tolerable deformation. Thus, bridges impacted by scour need to be judged based on both the superstructure and substructure components. The system/process to assess the substructure load rating uses an analytical method which combines numerical methods and empirical calculations to predict the behavior of a bridge's superstructure and substructure. Limited instrumentation is installed at critical locations on the bridge. The measurements are then used to verify and refine predictions to arrive at a substructure load rating which is usable with the superstructure load rating to define a safe load carrying capacity.
