Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein standardize product views of product images in the product catalog such that these products are displayed with substantially similar products views with respect to one another in the product catalog to enhance the visual appearance, or photorealism, of the product catalog. As such, the products within the same category of products, for example, the screws and bolts as described above, are illustrated in the product catalog with similar product views, for example, similar orientations, similar scales, and/or similar angles, with respect to one another.

Abstract: Provided are a system, method and computer program product for generating three dimensional models for use by an additive manufacturing or 3D printing system, in which object model data defining one or more objects to be built by a three-dimensional printing apparatus is input and used to generate a three dimensional model for a protective structure to surround the one or more objects. A user is provided with selectable configuration options for the protective structure. The method includes presenting, via a user interface, selectable configuration options for a protective structure to be built around the one or more objects by the three-dimensional printing apparatus. In response to user selection of one or more configuration options via the user interface, a three dimensional model for the protective structure is automatically generated.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a shaft assembly and a distal endoscope cap. A flexible distal portion of the shaft assembly is laterally deflectable relative to a rigid proximal portion of the shaft assembly. The shaft assembly defines a working channel sized and configured to enable advancement of a working element. The distal endoscope cap is configured to attach to the distal end of the shaft assembly. The distal endoscope cap has an outer diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the flexible distal portion. The distal endoscope cap includes a body having at least one coupling member for attaching the distal endoscope cap to the distal end of the shaft assembly, at least one image sensor secured to the body for visualizing an anatomical structure, and at least one illuminating element secured to the body for illuminating a field of view of the at least one image sensor.

Abstract: Embodiments of an improved photodynamic therapy device are provided. An example of the device includes an irradiation head having a first end and a surface at a second end, the surface having a radius of curvature. The device also includes a plurality of light sources disposed on the curved surface. The plurality of light sources are configured to emit light having at least one wavelength corresponding approximately to an excitation peak of at least one photosensitizer. The light emitted by the plurality of light sources is focused to a focal point based on the radius of curvature of the surface and a target surface (e.g., a corneal surface of an eye) may be positioned at the focal point for treatment.

Abstract: Ocular photosensitivity analyzer. In an embodiment, a programmable light source, comprising a plurality of multi-spectra light modules, is configured to emit light according to a lighting condition. For one or a plurality of iterations, the programmable light source is activated to emit the light according to the lighting condition, and collect a response, by a subject, to the emitted light via a sensing system comprising one or more sensors. Between iterations, the programmable light source may be reconfigured based on the response to determine a visual photosensitivity threshold of the subject.

Abstract: A system for ophthalmic imaging comprising an ophthalmic device configured to obtain stereoscopic images of an eye of a patient and to transmit the images in real-time to a display device via a network for viewing by practitioners. The ophthalmic device comprises at least an optic assembly, a processing assembly, a slit assembly, such as a slit lamp, and a positioning assembly. Control devices structured to control the ophthalmic device over the network, such as the world wide web, can be disposed at a plurality of locations, and may be remote from the ophthalmic device while providing real time control of the parameters of the ophthalmic device by the practitioner(s) associated therewith.

Abstract: A stairway for a bunk bed supported on a horizontal surface and having an upper bed and a lower bed both supported by four corner supports includes a rear plate fixed with the bunk bed and having two or more step supports. A front plate has two or more inverted step supports and a lower end. Two or more steps are each pivotally fixed with at least one hinge to one of the step supports of the rear plate and, with at least another of the hinges, to a corresponding one of the step supports of the front plate. As such, with the front plate in a lowered position, each step is in a substantially horizontal orientation. With the front plate lifted into a raised position each step pivots into a substantially vertical orientation as the front plate and rear plate meet, preferably in substantially coplanar alignment.

Abstract: A table for a vertical partition includes a cutout defining a table board that has at least a table bottom edge and two opposing cutout side edges. The table board is pivotally attached at the table bottom edge with at least one bi-directional hinge to the cutout bottom edge. The table board has an elongated slotted bracket pivotally fixed with a pivot bracket to one of the two opposing table side edges. Each slotted bracket is slidably constrained by a retention pin fixed with one of the two opposing cutout side edges. With the table board fixed within the cutout in a raised position, the table board may be pushed to one side of the vertical partition or the other, the bi-directional hinges pivoting the table board down until the retention pin reaches an end of the slotted bracket to maintain the table board in a substantially horizontal position.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to water-resistant products which contain a wax emulsion, or silicones, or siliconates, or fluorinated compounds, or stearates, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the compound can be used to provide enhanced moisture resistance to joints, or holes such as screw holes or nail holes, in a wallboard.

Abstract: A multi-piece valance body is configured to extend lengthwise along the front of an adjacent headrail (e.g., of a covering for an architectural opening) between opposed lateral ends. The valance body may include a first valance body portion and a second valance body portion, with the body portions configured to be coupled together via a joint defined between the body portions in the lengthwise direction across the length of the headrail (e.g., a width of the architectural opening) to form the complete valance body structure.
