Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a firearms suppressor adapted with blowout panels. In one example, the blowout panels may be configured to have a lower tolerance for pressure than the materials from which outer components of the suppressor are formed. During over pressure events of the suppressor, the blowout panels may rupture, thereby dissipating pressure in the suppressor.

Abstract: A separated solids monitoring system comprising a pressurised solids accumulator for receiving separated process solids, a weighing platform located inside the accumulator and arranged to carry process solids as they settle in the accumulator, a force transducer located inside the pressurised accumulator and mechanically coupled to the weighing platform to provide a weight signal which is a measure of gravitational force on the weighing platform, and mechanically based pressure compensation means integrated within the force transducer, and arranged substantially to compensate and remove a force offset in the weight signal due to the pressure of fluids in the solids accumulator thereby allowing a fuller measurement range of the force transducer to be used and substantially dedicated to indicating a mass of solids on the weighing platform.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for searching for documents. A query comprising search terms is received. A search is performed on a collection of documents for each search term in the search terms. Search results are received for the search terms. Each search result includes documents from the collection of documents containing a search term in the search terms and scores associated with the documents. Aggregate scores for the search terms in the search results are associated with each document in the documents returned to form combined results in which a combined result in the combined results comprises the document and an aggregate score associated with the document. The documents in the combined results are ranked based on the aggregate scores to form a ranked order for the documents. The combined results with the aggregate scores in the ranked order are displayed on a display system.

Abstract: Occurrence of a RAID double failure in a slice of a RAID protection group (failed slice) renders data stored in the back-end tracks of the failed slice vulnerable to loss. When a RAID double failure is detected, a new slice is added to the RAID protection group. Front-end tracks that map to the good back-end tracks of the failed slice are moved from the back-end tracks of the failed slice to the back-end tracks of the newly added slice. Any front-end tracks that mapped to the bad back-end tracks of the failed slice are made to be write pending and written to corresponding back-end tracks of the newly added slice. Front-end tracks that map to the bad back-end tracks may be made to be write-pending in connection with a host write operation, by reading the front-end tracks from a local backup, or from a remote backup location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for visualization of a surgical site are disclosed. An imaging device provides image data of the surgical site. A computing device detects, in the image data, at least one obstruction. The computing device filters the image data to remove the at least one obstruction by being configured to alter pixels related to the at least one obstruction based on at least one of (i) one or more buffered frames and (ii) one or more pixels adjacent to the pixels related to the at least one obstruction. The computing device generates an output from the filtered image data. A display device presents the output for visualization of the surgical site.

Abstract: A cushion for a piece of furniture or a pillow includes a cushion core and an exterior cover at least partially surrounding the cushion core. The cushion core comprises a cushion wrap surrounding a filler, which may be foam or fiber or down or any known filler. The cushion wrap is at least partially made of fabric having a raised surface pattern to increase friction between the cushion core and the exterior cover for holding the cushion core in a desired orientation inside the exterior cover.

Abstract: A pocketed spring assembly comprises a plurality of parallel strings of springs, each string joined to at least one adjacent string, each string comprising first and second opposed plies of fabric and a plurality of pockets formed along a length of the string by transverse seams joining the first and second plies. At least one spring is positioned in each pocket. Exterior strings have identical springs in their pockets. Interior strings have two different springs along their length, the outermost springs being firmer than the interior core springs. The pocketed spring assembly has increased firmness or edge support along all four sides due to the different coil springs of the assembly.

Abstract: A trigger point treatment system for treating a patient, includes a cart, including a display; a trigger point scanning device with a scanning probe, and a trigger point massage therapy device, including a pressure point tip, a pressure sensor component, and an actual pressure indicator. A method of trigger point treatment includes scanning for myofascial trigger points, including locating, mapping, and marking trigger points; measuring a pressure pain threshold; applying a massage treatment; and optionally applying an injection treatment.

Abstract: An apparatus for upholstering a truss allows an operator to staple a fabric web to the truss, rotate the truss, further staple the semi-finished truss and cut the fabric web. The truss is fully upholstered after the end surfaces of the truss are wrapped up in fabric and the fabric stapled in place. The apparatus may accommodate different size trusses. A web of fabric is pulled around at least one roller in the apparatus by rotation of two vise mechanisms on opposite sides of the truss.

Abstract: A disinfecting system includes a housing. An ultraviolet light (UV) source is secured to the housing and configured to emit UV light for disinfection of a target. A processor is secured to the housing in communication with the UV light source. The processor is configured to activate the UV light source for a selected amount of time suitable for disinfection of the target.

Abstract: A system for maneuvering a pick-up device such as a vacuum, claw, or other crane for an arcade game or the like comprises a metallic frame and two motors. A mount is suspended over the frame and the movement of the mount is managed by monofilament loops rotated by the motors using a set of four stacks of pulleys. The arrangement of the pulleys allows the mount and pick-up device to be easily maneuvered anywhere within the frame.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for voice and graphical user interfaces. One of the methods includes receiving an audio input, analyzing the audio input to determine a requested task, determining response data in response to the requested task, determining at least a first part of the response data to be presented as an audio output and at least a second part of the response data to be presented as a visual output, forwarding the first part of the response data to an audio output for presentation to a user, forwarding the second part of the response data to a visual output for presentation to a user; and forwarding to at least one of the audio output and the visual output data describing sources and/or assumptions used to construct the response data.

Abstract: A coating method includes a first step for spraying, onto an inner area of an opening part of a cylindrical body having a bottom and arranged horizontally, a first coating material of synthetic resin containing non-volatile components while rotating the cylindrical body around a central axis thereof. After the first step, a second step is performed for spraying, onto an inner area of a barrel part of the cylindrical body, a second coating material of synthetic resin containing a lower proportion of non-volatile components than that of the first coating material while continuing to rotate the cylindrical body. After the second step is performed and before the volatile components of the second coating material vaporizes, a third step is performed in which the rotation of the cylindrical body is stopped, the cylindrical body is placed vertically, and the volatile components of the second coating material are vaporized.
