Abstract: Methods and apparatus to monitor environments are disclosed. Example audience measurement devices disclosed herein execute, in connection with a first frame of data, a three-dimensional recognition analysis on an object detected in an environment within a threshold distance from a sensor. Disclosed example audience measurement devices also detect that the object has moved outside the threshold distance from the sensor in a second frame subsequent to the first frame. Disclosed example audience measurement devices further execute a two-dimensional recognition analysis on the object in the second frame.

Abstract: A vibration appliance includes a vibration-isolation structure which substantially reduces vibration felt by the user at the handle. The vibration motor is mounted to a vibration plate which carries the massage node. The vibration plate floats within the vibration appliance housing, being suspended by a flexible, elastomer membrane having contours such as curves or folds in it that provide freedom of movement of the vibration plate relative to the housing to which the flexible membrane is mounted. This arrangement can be thought of as the motor and vibration node being mounted on a flexible diaphragm that can move freely as if mounted to the housing by a bellows-like arrangement.

Abstract: A navigation tool using a visual language is configured to interoperate with a curated catalog of KPIs that enables users associated with 5G mobile operators to implement service assurance in a graphical manner based on a unique ontological model of an operator's 5G network. The graphical navigation tool provides visually-based context to the catalog to streamline KPI selection while leveraging the cognitive benefits of the visual language to facilitate discovery, grouping, and connecting of the KPIs in a meaningful way to express essential aspects of 5G network performance.

Abstract: Techniques for implementing and/or operating a pipe handling system that includes an inboard bore plug assembly and an outboard bore plug assembly, which facilitate plugging a pipe bore in a flexible pipe. The inboard bore plug assembly includes a first inflatable plug having a first inflatable bladder that defines a first fluid cavity and a first inflation port opening and a first inflation fluid port secured within the first inflation port opening. The outboard bore plug assembly includes a second inflatable plug having a second inflatable bladder that defines a second fluid cavity, a second inflation port opening, and a bore port opening, a second inflation fluid port secured within the second inflation port opening, and a bore fluid port secured in the bore port opening to enable the pipe bore in the flexible pipe to be pressurized to an elevated fluid pressure.

Abstract: A shaving razor with a housing dimensioned to receive at least one blade. The housing has a pair of spaced apart opposing parallel walls each defining a fully enclosed opening that extends completely through the respective walls.

Abstract: A shaving razor blade unit including a housing having a primary guard at a front of the housing and a primary cap at an upper surface at a back of the housing, one or more primary shaving blades between the primary guard and the primary cap, a rear wall having a rear exterior surface extending downward from the upper surface at the back of the housing to a terminating surface, and a trimming blade mounted on the rear wall and having a trimming cutting edge extending at least partially beyond the terminating surface inside of an imaginary extension of the rear exterior surface, the rear exterior surface defining a secondary cap for the trimming blade. The back of the housing includes a trimming guard including spaced guard segments.

Abstract: Compounds of formula A: and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are described, which selectively inhibit Raf kinase activity and are useful for treating disorders mediated by Raf kinases.

Abstract: A shaving razor blade unit including a housing having a primary guard at a front of the housing and a primary cap at an upper surface at a back of the housing, one or more primary shaving blades between the primary guard and the primary cap, a rear wall having a rear exterior surface extending downward from the upper surface at the back of the housing to a terminating surface, and a trimming blade mounted on the rear wall and having a trimming cutting edge extending at least partially beyond the terminating surface inside of an imaginary extension of the rear exterior surface, the rear exterior surface defining a secondary cap for the trimming blade. The back of the housing can include trimming guard including spaced guard segments. The trimming blade, trimming guard and trimming cap can be provided as an assembly that is attached to the rest of the housing. The assembly can include a sheet metal support with a blade welded to the support.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing razor cartridges are provided. One method includes loading a support portion of a supported blade into an elongated blade slot defined by a core member, the core member being configured to define a portion of a molding cavity defining the shape of the cartridge housing; and delivering a resin to the molding cavity to form the housing and capture a portion of the blade in the resin. In another method, a plurality of razor cartridges are manufactured substantially simultaneously by (a) removably mounting each blade on a core member; (b) placing each core member in a molding cavity; and (c) delivering a resin to the molding cavities to form at least a portion of the cartridge housing and capture a portion of the blade in the resin.

Abstract: Shaving systems are provided including an elongated blade and a plastic housing, the ends of the blade being captured in the plastic housing.

Abstract: Methods of manufacturing razor cartridges by insert molding are provided.

Abstract: A razor blade assembly includes an elongate platform supporting a pair of blades and an elongate guard member disposed adjacent a forward edge of the platform. The guard member has a plurality of fins each spaced one from the other. In preferred embodiments each fin has its uppermost surface below a rearwardly disposed fin and the uppermost surfaces collectively lie on an outwardly convex arcuate surface, and each successively rearward fin is inclined more towards the leading blade edge than the preceding adjacent fin. The elongate platform is provided with a plurality of apertures extending through the platform between a plurality of webs and the guard member is molded in place onto the platform. Portions of the guard member material flow through the apertures and surround webs during the molding process to maintain the guard member in place.
