Abstract: A system and method are described herein for a sensor device which biomechanically detects in real-time a user's movement state and posture and then provides real-time feedback to the user based on the user's real-time posture. The feedback is provided through immediate sensory feedback through the sensor device (e.g., a sound or vibration) as well as through an avatar within an associated application with which the sensor device communicates.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process and an apparatus for producing coated catalysts. A process of the present disclosure includes providing a composition containing a liquid and a catalytically active material and/or a precursor thereof in a stock vessel, providing a support material in a vessel which is rotatable about a longitudinal axis, transporting the composition from the stock vessel through a first conduit to a spray nozzle, transporting a propellant fluid through a second conduit to the spray nozzle, atomizing the composition and propellant fluid in the nozzle to produce an aerosol that flows into the vessel and impregnates the support material present therein, heating the vessel so the liquid present in the aerosol evaporates from the support material and the finely divided support material which has been treated with catalytically active material and/or a precursor thereof is dried, and discharging the vaporized liquid from the vessel.

Abstract: In response to receiving a request from a client device, a first image can be determined based at least in part on an image identification in the request. The first image may be associated with a plurality of layers. A subset of the plurality of layers can be determined. Information configured to enable a selection of at least one layer in the subset may be sent to the client device. In response to receiving a request from a client device, a composite image can be obtained based at least in part on a selection of at least one layer of a plurality of layers of an image received in the request. The composite image may be dynamically generated or retrieved from a storage device. The composite image and/or information associated with the composite image can be sent to the client device.

Abstract: A system and method are described herein for a sensor device which biomechanically detects in real-time a user's movement state and posture and then provides real-time feedback to the user based on the user's real-time posture. The feedback is provided through immediate sensory feedback through the sensor device (e.g., a sound or vibration) as well as through an avatar within an associated application with which the sensor device communicates. The sensor device detects the user's movement state and posture by capturing data from a tri-axial accelerometer in the sensor device. Streamed data from the accelerometer is normalized to correct for sensor errors as well as variations in sensor placement and orientation. Normalization is based on accelerometer data collected while the user is wearing the device and performing specific actions.

Abstract: A compressor component having an airfoil with a profile in accordance with Table 1 is disclosed. The compressor component, such as a compressor blade, has an increased surface area over a portion of the airfoil chord length. The increased surface area allows for a greater amount of air to be taken in by the airfoil, thus increasing the air flow through the gas turbine engine.
