Abstract: A slotted spring disc for a bearing includes an annular portion, a conical portion extending radially inward from the annular portion, and a plurality of slots extending from the annular portion through the conical portion. In some example embodiments, an outer ring of the annular portion is devoid of the plurality of slots. In an example embodiment, each of the plurality of slots extend purely radially inward from the outer ring through the annular portion. In some example embodiments, each of the plurality of slots extend through an entirety of the conical portion. In an example embodiment, each of the plurality of slots extend radially and circumferentially through the conical portion. In an example embodiment, each of the plurality of slots extend diagonally through the conical portion. An insulated bearing assembly including the slotted spring disc is also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media relate to a handheld wireless endoscope image streaming apparatus. The apparatus may establish a wireless connection to a computer system. The apparatus may obtain, via a digital camera, video imagery via an endoscope, the video imagery including multiple frames. The apparatus may stream to a computer system video data.

Abstract: A luminaire adapted to apply an auto-gradient effect across pixels has an interface coupled by a connection to a controller. The controller has electronic circuitry that receives a predetermined start light parameter for a start pixel of a luminaire and receives a predetermined end light parameter for an end pixel of the first luminaire, the predetermined end light parameter greater than the predetermined start light parameter. The controller circuitry then automatically interpolates a gradient effect for a middle light parameter of each of a plurality of middle pixels of the luminaire based on the start and end predetermined light parameters. The controller circuitry then outputs control signals having the start, end and middle light parameters to the start, end and middle light pixels, respectively, through the connection and to the interface.

Abstract: An operator's proximity to an automotive vehicle being inspected is tracked and recorded. An audio and/or a visual representation of the automotive vehicle being inspected, inspection zones, and components within the inspection zones are rendered. A representation of the automotive vehicle being inspected is updated to reflect a condition of the vehicle being inspected, a condition of the inspection zones, and the numbers of defects for each of inspection zones. The audio and visual representations shown as part of any defects of the vehicle being inspected may be recorded. During a vehicle inspection, a visual indication of a driver's location in proximity to a visual representation of the automotive vehicle being inspected may be displayed.

Abstract: The urban vertical garden of this realization is formed by a structure with a modular system of scaffolding, a wood or other structural system formed by pipes, preferably of galvanized steel and that makes up a set of cultivation modules placed vertically, where each module has at least a bench terrace filled with soil and connected to an automated drip irrigation system, at least one wall for vertical cultivation normally hydroponic formed by horizontal trays situated at different levels; possibility of including two aeroponic towers with an internal irrigation system, at least one water tank situated in the upper module, and at least one pump in the bottom level.

Abstract: A hinge retaining mechanism for a fluorescent lighting system. A portable fluorescent lighting system which utilizes an extremely lightweight corrugated plastic panel made into 5 subpanels. At each end of the panel a U shaped channel is attached that forms the center panel and the opposing adjacent two panels into a trough or recessed pan. On each of the two remaining panels is attached another U shaped channel. Each of the U shaped channels includes a mechanism for supporting a high-tension mechanical hinge. The mechanical hinge is designed to float freely within the adjacent channel brackets. One part of the hinge is mechanically retained to the channel to prevent inadvertent removal of the hinge.
