Abstract: A strap assembly includes a chest strap and shoulder straps. Similarly configured left and right cups are provided. The strap assembly is attached to the cups whereby the strap assembly adheres the cups to a wearer. Each cup has curved upper, lower, interior and exterior edges. Each cup has inside and outside surfaces. A patch is operatively associated with each cup. Each patch has a linear upper edge and curved lower, interior and exterior edges. Each patch has inside and outside surfaces. Stitching couples the lower, interior and exterior edges of each patch to the lower, interior and exterior edges of an associated cup. A linear opening is formed along the upper edge of each patch. Piping covers the upper edge of each patch. The piping is adapted to allow the patch to move away from and back toward the cup between open and closed orientations.

The mixture from the towelette to form a coating on a surface and the coating is cured ambiently without additional heat. Also provided are towelettes containing the mixture.

Abstract: Implementations are described herein for identifying related source code edits to perform, or to aid in the performance of, various programming tasks. In various implementations, a first edit made to a first source code snippet in a source code editor may be detected. Based on the first edit, a second source code edit to be made to a second source code snippet may be identified. The identifying may include: traversing one or more graphs to determine one or more edge sequences between nodes corresponding to the first and second source code snippets, comparing the one or more edge sequences to a plurality of reference edge sequences between nodes corresponding to historical co-occurrences of the first and second code edits, and identifying the second edit based on the comparing. The source code editor may provide output that includes a recommendation to implement the second edit.

Abstract: Techniques are provided for extended object tracking using RADAR return points only. The techniques include receiving the return points from at least one RADAR sensor of the vehicle. One or more clusters based on or from the return points are generated. An estimated position and velocity of each of the one or more clusters is computed. A Recursive Least Squares (RLS) based algorithm is proposed to estimate the instantaneous velocity of a cluster in real-time that allows for accurate track-cluster association, removes the need to perform computationally expensive non-linear state updates, and allows for the estimation of the true velocity even in frames with a large amount of clutter. If it is determined that the one or more clusters are associated with an existing object track, the existing object track is updated using at least the respective positions of the one or more clusters associated with the existing object track.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for analyzing the effectiveness of lighting control signals that result in controlling the lighting conditions in an environment or space. The lighting conditions are changed resulting in alteration of the behavior of the people in the space, including lowering sound levels or changing mental state/behavior of the people in the space. The system analyzes information, related to the response of the people in the space, to determine the effectiveness of a control signal that is used to alter the lighting conditions. The altered lighting conditions include at least one or more of altering the intensity of the lights (dims or brightens) or wavelength of the lights (color) in the space.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating price comparisons in an electronic conversation may include: receiving first data from a mobile device including an identifier of a product; determining an identification of the product; using a machine-learning model, determining a matching product, the machine-learning model being trained to learn associations between products based on (i) product identification numbers, (ii) vectorizations of parameters of products, and (iii) social information data; identifying an offer for a matching product; extracting second data from the offer that includes a price and third data configured to enable access to the offer; determining a lowest price offer from amongst identified offers; generating fourth data that includes (i) information indicative of the lowest price offer, and (ii) fifth data configured to enable access to at least one of the respective third data corresponding to the lowest price offer or the second data; and transmitting the fourth data to the mobile dev

Abstract: A base station or content delivery server in a wireless network is configured to receive wireless network topology information from each of a plurality of wireless user devices. The wireless network topology information indicates which wireless user devices are within radio communication range of each other. The base station or content delivery server is configured to respond to a request for content from a first wireless user device by using the wireless network topology information for selecting a second wireless user device that has the content and is within radio communication range of the first wireless user device. The base station or content delivery server can be configured to forward the request to the second wireless user device, send a resource identifier to the first wireless user device that identifies the second wireless user device, and/or transmit a radio resource allocation to the first wireless user device to create a peer-to-peer link with the second wireless user device.

Abstract: A “Concurrent Projector-Camera” uses an image projection device in combination with one or more cameras to enable various techniques that provide visually flicker-free projection of images or video, while real-time image or video capture is occurring in that same space. The Concurrent Projector-Camera provides this projection in a manner that eliminates video feedback into the real-time image or video capture. More specifically, the Concurrent Projector-Camera dynamically synchronizes a combination of projector lighting (or light-control points) on-state temporal compression in combination with on-state temporal shifting during each image frame projection to open a “capture time slot” for image capture during which no image is being projected. This capture time slot represents a tradeoff between image capture time and decreased brightness of the projected image.

Abstract: Provided herein is a surgical jig and methods for making and using the same. In at least one embodiment, the jig contains a forearm strap and finger strap to secure a patient's forearm and hand, respectively, to the jig, and at least one finger attachment site configured to receive and secure a fractured finger to the jig. The jig is designed to position the hand and finger in an optimal position for fracture reduction by a clinician while utilizing minimal resources. In various embodiments, the present methods of using the jig include adjustment of the patient's hand by the clinician to ensure optimal placement of the fractured finger prior to commencing fracture reduction.

Abstract: A multidirectional runner assembly for positioning a carrier pipe within a surrounding casing pipe. Each multidirectional runner assembly has at least one ball transfer assembly at least partially protruding from the runner assembly, in order to contact an inner surface of a surrounding casing pipe. The ball transfer assemblies reduce static and/or kinetic friction forces during installation of a carrier pipe within the central bore of a casing pipe, permit multidirectional orientation of the runners within the casing pipe, and provide greater load support.
