Abstract: In some examples, a computing device includes a first display in a first housing and a second display in a second housing. The computing device may determine an angle between the first display device and the second display device, determine a first temperature map of the first housing based on the angle and first temperature data received from a first set of temperature sensors in the first housing, and determine a second temperature map of the second housing based on the angle and second temperature data received from a second set of temperature sensors in the second housing. The computing device may determine a temperature difference between the first display device and the second display device, determine an action, and perform the action to reduce the temperature, color, and/or color intensity difference between the first display device and the second display device.

A pair of spaced headrest tilts are coupled to the back insert, and pivotally coupled to the back frame of the chair. A lower connector tube is coupled to the back frame of the chair below the back insert. A linkage coupler is pivotally coupled to an upper member at an upper pivot point and is pivotally coupled an actuator at a lower pivot point. The upper member has a secured leg secured to the pair of spaced headrest tilts and a pivotal leg pivotally coupled to the linkage coupler. An actuator is pivotally coupled between the linkage coupler and the lower connector tube that can be actuated to pivot the headrest tilts from a closed to an open position.

An eccentric is coupled to the secondary oscillation gear and rotates in concert therewith. A yoke is engaged with the eccentric and oscillates on an axis perpendicular to the secondary shaft in response to the lobe. The gearbox secondary shaft moves along its axis in concert with yoke oscillation. A housing is pivotally attached to the yoke and pivotally attached to a casing at a casing.

Abstract: A vacuum inlet valve assembly has a housing configured to be mounted exterior to a preexisting wall in a structure such that the housing is connected with a conduit and the conduit is exterior to the wall and retains a hose therein, and the hose is adapted to be pulled out from a stored position within the conduit external from the wall to an extracted position, and when in the extracted position, an end cap or hose plug on the hose is releasably connected with a connection assembly in the housing. A portion of the conduit is clear or translucent or transparent so an operator can watch the end cap or hose plug approach the connection assembly.

Abstract: A “passive” apparatus and method for isolating flow within a thermal wellbore wherein inflow apertures are plugged with a temporary fusible alloy plug that can be selectively removed by increasing the wellbore temperature.

Abstract: A system is for pressure testing a barrier in a well from below. The system has a first barrier, a second barrier located below the first barrier in the wellbore, a confined testing space located between said first and second barriers in the well, and a fluid reservoir. The system further has a pressurizing member for pressurizing fluid from said fluid reservoir and for transferring said pressurized fluid into said confined testing space, a pressure sensor for measuring pressure in relation to said confined space; and a pressure data receiver for receiving data from said pressure sensor. There is also described a method for pressure testing a barrier in a well from below.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for preparing a dry titanium dioxide product, comprising the steps of: providing a dispersion comprising titanium dioxide particles; treating the titanium dioxide particles with a silane of formula (I): RII(ORI)aORSiX3??(I) wherein R is a divalent C1-24 organic group that is carbon-bonded to the silicon atom, RI is a C2-6 alkylene group, RII is hydrogen, a C1-16 alkyl group, a C2-16 alkyl ether group, or a C2-12 acyloxy group, X is a hydrolysable group, and a is a number having a value from 3 to 150; and then drying the dispersion to provide a dry titanium dioxide product. The dry titanium dioxide product may optionally be dispersed within a vehicle.

Abstract: A high-load recline mechanism may include a first pair of linkage mechanisms positioned proximate a right side of a base and may also include a second pair of linkage mechanisms positioned proximate the left side of the base. The first pair of linkage mechanisms may be coupled together such that they both move between a closed position and a fully reclined position in unison. The second pair of linkage mechanisms may also be coupled together such that they both move between a closed position and a fully reclined position in unison. A motor drive tube may be coupled to the each of the inside linkage mechanisms of each pair of mechanisms in order to drive all of the linkage mechanisms between the closed position and the fully reclined position in unison. A linear actuator may be coupled between the motor drive tube and the base to actuate the recline mechanism.

Abstract: An iontophoresis system includes a preloaded reservoir containing one or more doses of a therapeutic agent. As a result, the therapeutic agent does not have to be loaded into the reservoir prior to use. In such a system, the preloaded reservoir is generally disposable. Various components of the iontophoresis system can be combined with the reservoir in a disposable cartridge that is selectively connectable to other, reusable components of the iontophoresis system. In addition, the entire iontophoresis system can be formed from one or more disposable, one-time-use modules.
