Abstract: A method for generating a mixed reality environment, the method comprising receiving image data relating to a live event, receiving data comprising information relating to the live event, and generating a mixed reality environment based on the received image data and the data comprising information relating to the live event, wherein the mixed reality environment comprises an optical representation of the live event to be provided to a viewer and the mixed reality environment is configured such that a portion of the data comprising information relating to the live event is displayed as part of the optical representation in response to an input from the viewer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable male/female apparatus for oral infectionless sex comprising a viral-bacterial inhibitor mask for the lower face having a rectangular horizontal oriented-shaped oral cavity and a pair of opposing elastic string ear loops attached to the mask interior. The ear loops each have an accurate portion which may be grasped and stretched by a user to secure a snug fit to face. Also attached to the mask exterior is a non-latex barrier engaged and protruding therefrom by a user's lips and tongue in communication with the mask. Disposed within the outside surface of barrier is, with or without, a lubricated ribbed texture to enhance oral sex pleasure effects and a flavored lubricant that functions as a taste-bud preserver. A flexible crimp material is disposed within the inside surface to help adjust mask across bridge of nose to comply with facial features.

Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery of genetic polymorphisms that are associated with ocular diseases and disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In particular, the present invention relates to methods for determining an individuals susceptibility to ocular disorders such as AMD by screening for mutations and/or polymorphisms in the human complement factor H (CFH) gene or gene product that confer susceptibility to such disorders. Also encompassed in the present invention are nucleic acid molecules containing the polymorphisms, variant proteins encoded by such nucleic acid molecules, reagents for detecting the polymorphic nucleic acid molecules and proteins, and methods of treatment following detection of susceptibility.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for browser based enablement through customized temporary browser profiles. A method for enabling a browser based application through a customized temporary browser profile can include the following steps. First, responsive to a request to provide a browser based application to a content browser in a client computing device, a customized browser profile can be applied in lieu a default browser profile in the content browser. Subsequently, the browser based application can be loaded in the content browser and the customized browser profile can be deleted in temporal proximity to the loading step. Preferably, the applying step can include receiving wrapper logic in the content browser; and, executing the wrapper logic to configure the customized browser profile and to apply the customized browser profile to the content browser.

Abstract: An apparatus for inhibiting the gross build up of a cold setting foundry sand mixture in a mixing machine in which a fluid inhibitor is discharged into the machine while the machine is substantially empty to prevent or retard the setting of the foundry sand mixture.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting the gross build up of a cold setting foundry sand mixture in a mixing machine in which a fluid inhibitor is discharged into the machine while the machine is substantially empty to prevent or retard the setting of the foundry sand mixture.

Abstract: To compact a sand-binder mixture in a mould or core box and subsequently apply a hardening gas to the mixture, I apply to the open top of the box a fluid-pervious diaphragm backed by an impervious diaphragm, apply suction to the bottom of the box to draw the diaphragm against the top of the mixture and compact the mixture, and subsequently introduce the hardening gas between the diaphragms so that it passes through the first diaphragm and permeates the mixture within the box.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing foundry moulds or cores from a cold-setting sand based foundry mixture. The foundry mixture is introduced to a mould or core box and during setting of the mixture in the box suction is applied to the box to accelerate the setting time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for filling a foundry mould or core box with a sand-based foundry moulding mixture. The mixture is blown into the box under pressure while suction is applied to the box.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing sand-based foundry moulds and cores, particularly of the cold-setting type made from a sand/binder/catalyst mixture. After the introduction of the sand mixture into a mould or core box, sealing means is located over an open end of the box to enclose the mixture within the box, and suction is applied to the box. The sealing means may comprise a flexible diaphragm, which is drawn by the suction against the adjacent upper surface of the mixture to compact the mixture.

Abstract: A jaw crusher is provided with a pressure relieving system to allow a movable jaw of the crusher to yield in case of an excess crushing load. The movable jaw is urged outwardly by a spring and an hydraulic ram exerts inward pressure on the jaw against the spring action. The ram has a control system for reducing the ram pressure when an excess load is encountered allowing the spring to move the jaw outwardly and after a suitable time delay for re-establishing the pressure within the ram to return the jaw to its inner position against the spring action.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preparing relatively large size foundry moulds and cores from cold-setting foundry sand mixtures wherein successive batches of sand and binder on the one hand with sand and catalyst on the other hand are mixed in a chamber having a rotary mixing element. The batches are discharged from the chamber by gravity into a mould or core box and the chamber is purged by a blast of compressed gas between the successive mixing operations.
