Abstract: Broadly speaking, the technology relates to using wave field synthesis theory to simulate one or more idealized virtual point sources in a multi-speaker system. The speaker transfer function of each speaker is modeled, and the values and directional gradient of the combined speaker transfer function at test points in a convexly-bounded listening region are compared to the desired values and directional gradient for the idealized transfer function of the idealized virtual point source(s) at the test points to determine filter coefficient sets for each filter. The determined filter coefficients are those which minimize the total difference between the values and directional gradient of the combined speaker transfer function and the values and directional gradient of the idealized transfer function of the idealized virtual point source across all the test points for a plurality of frequency bins.

Abstract: A rigid electrical panel has both a flexible printed circuit and an electrically conductive grounding layer embedded therein. The electrically conductive grounding layer is electrically connected to a grounding insert which is also embedded in the rigid material. The grounding insert has a base portion and an exposed portion. The electrically conductive grounding layer is connected to the base portion, and the exposed portion allows the grounding insert, and thus the electrically conductive grounding layer, to be electrically connected to a grounding point, for example on a gas turbine engine.

Abstract: A night vision imaging system (NVIS) compatible liquid crystal display (LCD) includes a backlight and an LCD panel. The LCD panel includes a color filter including a plurality of colored pixels. Each of the colored pixels in the plurality of colored pixels incorporates a near infrared (NIR) filter, capable of substantially blocking emissions from the backlight, including NIR emission between 650 nm and 930 nm, while maintaining high transmission of bands of visible light for producing a full color visual image.

Abstract: A method/system for pricing and allocating identified securities of a company on a registered securities exchange, as opposed to off-market. A host computer system or computer receives bid data indicative of one or more bids for the identified securities from one or more eligible investors. Determination of at least one price of the identified securities and a preferential allocation of at least some of the identified securities to eligible investors is performed at least partially based on bids that are higher than the determined match price or bids that are received prior to a specified time or times. The preferential allocation of at least some of the identified securities to at least some of the eligible investors is part of the bookbuild performed on the registered securities exchange. The bids are able to be accepted in real time by an issuer or seller of the identified securities.

Abstract: Disclosed are configurations for controlling media using a chromeless media player. Gestures performed on a touch sensitive screen are used to modify the behavior of the media player. In one embodiment, a gesture recognizer recognizes a gesture performed on a touch sensitive screen. The behavior of a media player is modified based on the recognized gesture. For example, a tap gesture may toggle a playback state (play/pause) of the media player, a pinch gesture may display a seek screen, a scrub gesture may change the playback time of the media player, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a non-toxic, bioresorbable, magnesium based alloy for use in production of implants. Specifically exemplified herein are alloy embodiments useful for orthopedic implants. Also disclosed are alloy materials that incorporate magnesium, calcium and strontium.

Abstract: The present invention provides antigen-specific, tolerance-inducing microparticles for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents to immune cells. In addition, the present invention allows for sustained release of therapeutic agents for a prolonged period of time. Also provided are therapeutic uses of the present invention for the prevention and/or treatment of immune diseases and autoimmune disorders. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides treatment for type 1 diabetes.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a thermoplastic laser protective eyewear, and methods of manufacturing said thermoplastic laser protective eyewear. In one embodiment, the laser protective eyewear transmits energy in the visible region and absorbs or reflects energy at peak wavelengths that correspond to commercially available industrial, military and medical lasers.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an LED assembly that is compatible for use with a night vision imaging system or any other system that requires an LED with specific transmission or rejection wavelength bands. Such LEDs may emit selective wavelength bands anywhere between 400 nm and 700 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum while limiting selective wavelength bands anywhere between 700 and 1200 nanometers. In one embodiment, the LED is manufactured by coating one or more inorganic thin film optical coatings onto the LED and then protecting the LED and thin film optical coating with a resin encapsulant. In other embodiments, additional near infrared photochemical or color correcting dyes are incorporated directly into the encapsulant.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a LED assembly that is compatible for use with a night vision imaging system, Such LEDs may emit energy between 400 and 600 nm of the electromagnetic spectrum while limiting energy emissions between 600 and 1200 nanometers. Near infrared photochemistry is incorporated directly into the lens or encapsulant of an LED with an opaque package that limits transmission of visible and near infrared energy.

Abstract: A distributed application deployment engine uses declarative deployment data that describes deployment characteristics for application modules, and potential target environments. The engine uses the deployment data to potentially match a module to a deployment target. At some point, the modules may then be actually deployed on the identified deployment target. This may be performed for multiple modules in the distributed application, thereby deploying the distributed application in a distributed environment.

Abstract: An interactive user interface for displaying mappings between modules of a distributed application and deployment targets in a distributed environment. The user interface represents module items, deployment target items, and correlation items that represent various mappings of module items to deployment target items. In some cases, the manner in which each of these items is displayed may be altered in response to user input. The correlation itself may also be potentially altered in response to user input. Multiple solutions may be displayed in which there are different mappings of modules to target solutions.
