Abstract: In one embodiment, a display comprises a light source positioned to emit light into a 0.5 millimeter thick lightguide with light extraction features, a cladding layer optically coupled to a core layer of the lightguide on a first side, a light turning film optically coupled to the cladding layer on an opposite side, the light turning film comprising a light turning features that redirect frustrated totally internally reflected light from the core layer into a first portion of light with a first peak luminous intensity at a first angle and a second portion of light with a second peak luminous intensity at a second angle different from the first angle and on an opposite side of the thickness direction, and the light diffusely reflecting from a reflective spatial light modulator has a peak luminous intensity within degrees from a direction normal to a surface of the display.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for identifying ancestor objects in hierarchical data configured for processing with a query, the query having an associated abstract syntax tree. The abstract syntax tree may be processed so as to generate an augmented abstract syntax tree which includes parent identifiers configured to identify the parent nodes of the query. In this way, a need to pre-parse the data may be alleviated. Instead, the identification of a parent node of a query may be encoded into the abstract syntax tree of the query.

Abstract: A display comprises a film-based lightguide, a light source positioned to emit light into the lightguide, and a light turning film with light turning features comprising a first surface with a first coating of a first material with a first refractive index that redirects light extracted from lightguide toward a reflective spatial light modulator wherein the light turning features also comprise a second surface that does not comprise a coating of the first material or comprises a coating of a thickness of the first material less than 500 nanometers. The light turning film may comprise a base layer of a second material with a second refractive index, and the first refractive index is less than the second refractive index. The first surface may be an angled planar surface oriented at an angle the surface of the light turning film or comprise a curved surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage organizer device. The device is designed to provide users with a transparent storage and organization device for baking and cooking. Specifically, the storage organizer device is designed to enable users to prep and store their ingredients when cooking and/or baking. The device comprises a plurality of removable, transparent, and rectangular-shaped measuring cups, a tablespoon insert holder, and a base component to store and transport all the components in. Specifically, the plurality of measuring cups are stored in the clear carrier base with a hinged lid and side handles for easy transportation. Further, each of the measuring cups is marked with lines denoting measurements in cups, tablespoons, ounces and millimeters.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel rotating cake pan device designed to allow a user to place a cake or other dessert on the rotating platform, and then rotating the dessert during decorating. The device comprises a bottom base component positioned on a rotating turntable component. A detachable drainage reservoir drip-pan and a detachable cooling rack are all placed on top of the bottom base component. The bottom base component comprises four rubber plugs and a non-skid bottom which secures the bottom base component to the rotating turntable component during use. Thus, during decoration, any glaze or icing will drip off the cake and into the drip-pan, where it can be drizzled back onto the item or poured back into a storage container.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of seating. More specifically, the present invention relates to a portable seat device. The device is primarily comprised of a vertical frame member, a horizontal frame member, and at least two arm rest assemblies. The device can be attached around a bleacher via a hook strap and loop strap to provide a more comfortable sitting surface. The device is also comprised of at least four folding legs that allow the device to be used as a standalone chair. The device may also have a sunshade, and a removable tray for convenience. The device may further fold for storage/transport.

Abstract: A portable bleacher seat designed to restrain a child sitting in a bleacher. The portable bleacher seat has a folding seat with a seat member and a back member. The seat member is a rectangular prism with an upper surface opposite a lower surface and a front side opposite a rear side, with a fastener on the lower surface designed to secure to a bleacher. The back member is pivotally connected to the rear side of the seat member and can selectively pivot between a closed and open position. The back member is perpendicular to the seat member when in the open position. A tray is removably affixed to the folding seat with a gap created between the tray and the folding seat. The gap is configured to receive a child therein. In this way, a user is able to restrain a child at an event with bleacher seating.

Abstract: An adjustable carry bag includes an enclosure having a length that is adjustable. The enclosure has two separate end sections that are releasably connectable together to provide an opening. Each end section has a closure panel movable between an open position for permitting access to an interior space of the enclosure through the opening and a closed position in which the closure panel blocks access to the interior space. Coupling structures extend from and substantially around an entire perimeter portion of the respective connecting ends of the end sections for releasably coupling the end sections to one another. The coupling structures are configured to be releasably disconnected from one another for releasably connecting one or more tubular extension sections between the end sections to adjust the length of the enclosure.

Abstract: An adjustable carry bag has two end sections for releasable connection together at connecting ends thereof to form an interior space for accommodating therein at least one sport board. Each end section has a first access opening providing access into the interior space and a closed perimeter portion at the connecting end defining a second access opening providing access into the interior space different from the first access opening. In an open state, the first access opening provide access into the interior space for accommodating therein a sport board. In a closed state of the first access opening when the end sections are connected together, the bag completely encloses and securely holds therein the sport board.

Abstract: A water dispersible colloidal system in the form of generally spherical matrix type particles and of sizes typically in the range of from 50 to 500 nm, called nanoparticles, and a process for the preparation of such systems. The system is characterized in that the nanoparticles comprise at least one amphiphilically modified calixarene. The water dispersion contains at least one active component such as a cosmetic, a pharmaceutical compound or other biologically active substances, foods, beverages, etc. enclosed within the nanoparticles, in the outer aqueous phase, or in both. The systems show outstanding properties, especially long-life stability even at elevated la temperatures.

Abstract: This invention relates to compounds having the following formula (I): of compositions including them, uses of these compounds, particularly for preparation of medicines, and in vitro induction processes for apoptosis and direct death of cancer cells.

Abstract: A process for detecting the forms of the prion pathogens responsible for subacute, transmissible, spongiform encephalopathies, including a macrocyclic adjuvant ligand (AML), free or bound to a support, that is added to a biological sample capable of containing PrPsc, the resulting suspension then being reacted with an anti-PrPsc antibody, and the presence of PrP is then detected.
