Abstract: A cooking appliance includes a body defining a cooking cavity. A door is rotatably coupled to the body. An imager assembly is coupled to an interior surface of the door. The imager assembly includes an image sensor configured to obtain image data within a field of view, a first primary mirror positioned at a first angle proximate to the image sensor and within the field of view, and a second primary mirror positioned at a second angle proximate to the image sensor and within the field of view. A secondary mirror assembly includes multiple secondary mirrors coupled to the body within the cooking cavity. The secondary mirrors reflect image views within the cooking cavity to the first primary mirror and the second primary mirror which reflects the image views to the image sensor to be captured as the image data.

Abstract: An electrosurgical system for radiofrequency ablation. An electrosurgical console includes a processor configured to determine impedance threshold values based on an initial tissue impedance value. The impedance threshold values may vary based on an elapsed time-based characteristic. A temperature set point is reduced based on the occurrence of the impedance event in which a tissue impedance value exceeds a threshold value. The reduced temperature set point may be fixed. The controller is configured to control the delivery of the RF energy drive the tissue temperature to the temperature set point(s). The temperature set point may not be reduced if the impedance event occurs during a ramp period, and an alert may be displayed. Secondary impedance threshold values may be utilized, and slower ramp periods may be provided for later in the ablation procedure. Methods of performing the ablation procedure with the electrosurgical system are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that provide enhanced flexibility to merchants in the configuration of POS systems. One disclosed system includes a payment interface device having a first display, a means for receiving payment information, and a first payment flow display service (PFDS). The system also includes a display device having a second display and a second PFDS. The system also includes a secure wireless connection formed by a first short-range wireless protocol (SRWP) module on the payment interface device and a second SRWP module on the display device. The first and second PFDSs conduct an exchange of messages over the secure wireless connection to execute a payment flow.

Abstract: An image of a check is captured by an imaging device and a digital image of the check on a replacement background may be created. The check may be placed on any background while the image of the check is being captured. The replacement background replaces, in the digital image, the background that the check is placed on while its image is being captured. The replacement background may comprise a predetermined image or color(s). The image of the check and the replacement background may be provided into a digital image file that may be transmitted to an institution system for deposit of the check into an account.

Abstract: Modular building cleanrooms having integrated mechanical rooms with removable, walkable floor panels above their ceilings are disclosed. The attic area above the sealed cleanroom ceiling and below joists of the modular building's frame provides an interstitial volume through which ducts, piping, electrical conduit, etc. run from the mechanical room to dampers, valves, and junctions boxes. The walkable floor panels can be bar grating through which maintenance people can see components below. The floor panels can have individual sections that may be removed for access to the components. Along with walkable floor panels, the modular building roofs can have foldable electrical panelboards that are pre-wired at the factory and then rotated upright once delivered to their destination.

Abstract: A rapidly deployable cleanroom is constructed from multiple modular building sections that are side-by-side and have similarly sized lengths, as well as user-accessible panels in multiple of them for air, water, power, networking, and other utilities at a similar internal location along their lengths. The utility panels can be standardized such that each panel is substantially identical to one another. The modular building sections can be drawn together using tension cables within lateral hollow extruded structural tubes beneath and/or above the cleanroom, the tension system utilizing jackscrews to pull everything tight. Because the utility panels are at the same longitudinal location in the building sections, the joined structure and resulting open space “ballroom” style cleanroom has the utility panels aligned with each other inside the cleanroom.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for ranking location data to increase processing efficiency and user-interface usability. A method includes receiving from a client a query that defines an area, subdividing the area into a plurality of grid areas, and determining a set of locations that are disposed in the area. The method includes dividing the set of locations into a plurality of groups based on the grid area that corresponds to each respective location. Within each group, the method includes scoring and sorting the locations according to a set of criteria, and assigning a respective rank to each of the locations according to the relative position of each of the locations in the group. The method further includes recombining the locations of plurality of groups and sorting by rank to yield a grid-ranked set of locations, and sending to the client the grid-ranked set of locations.

Abstract: Extruded floorboards having integrated standoffs, or legs, to offset them from the ground or floor underneath, are disclosed in which adjacent floorboards share a common leg for standing off. On each side of the cross section of a floorboard, a shorter leg mates with a longer leg of an adjacent floorboard through a tongue & groove. The mated legs are supported by the longer leg and a foot at the bottom of the longer leg. A stiffening rib is included. The longer leg is longer than the shorter leg and stiffening rig by a predetermined distance so as to leave clearance for air bearings or other components underneath an assembled floor.
