Abstract: An autoclaving microplate washing system for cells and non-adhering three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures includes one or more peristaltic pumps for controlling the dispensing of washing fluid and the evacuation of fluid from microwells, and means for independently controlling the relative positions between microwells of the microplate and cleaning dispense pipes and evacuation aspiration pipes.

Abstract: A stackable die mounting system with an efficient interconnect is disclosed that can have a base chip carrier to interconnect a base integrated circuit die to a circuit board on a first side and to a second stacked integrated circuit on a second side. The second side can include a first region having a pad out configuration of a first input output (I/O) to transmit data to be stored by the stacked integrated circuit die. The base chip carrier can have a second region with a pad out of a second I/O that is configured to receive data transmitted by the stacked integrated circuit die wherein the pad out of the second port is translated and rotated about an axis from the pad out of the first region such that a busses with different functions can be vertically integrated from the circuit board.

Abstract: An ergonomic collapsible crutch for providing assistance with ambulatory movement of a user, the crutch including a supporting member having an underarm support surface and a hand grip portion, a gripping pad disposed remotely from the underarm support surface generally along a vertical axis and connected to the supporting member to provide stability and grip on surfaces of a walking environment, and a hand grip attached to the hand grip portion of the supporting member so that the handgrip extends from the supporting member at an angle from the vertical axis ranging from about 85° to about 60° and from about 95° to about 120°. The ergonomic collapsible crutch may also include a shock absorbing device and buttons for adjusting the height of the crutch as well as the position of the hand grip. The hand grip may also be ergonomically contoured for improved use by a user.

Abstract: An ergonomic forearm crutch featuring an adjustable, ergonomic hand grip, a shock absorbing device and an ergonomically molded forearm cuff with integrated cuff hinge. The ergonomic forearm crutch is fully adjustable to meet the functional and ergonomic needs of crutch users.

Abstract: An ergonomic collapsible crutch that may have a shock absorbing device, used to facilitate walking. The crutch has only one supporting member in place of two. The supporting member is ergonomically designed. The hand grip is configured to reduce stress on a patient. The crutch has a length adjustment and a collapsibility feature.

Abstract: Digital cameras and methods that help a user accurately align sequential photographs to create large panoramas and composite photographs derived from a sequence of smaller photographs. This effectively creates a higher resolution, or larger, photograph from a zigzag series of photographs using a low resolution camera. An algorithm running on the camera guides a user through the image-taking procedure, allowing him or her to select if a panoramic or composite photograph is to be taken, and optionally the number of images (width and height) needed to create the final image. The algorithm displays indicia, such as marks or a shadow (transparent) image, that are overlaid and moved over the live image during the image-taking process to help align the subsequent image to be taken with the previously recorded image.
