Abstract: A wall scanner system and method for scanning a body panel of an RV or other vehicle with one or more penetrative imaging sensors is disclosed. The body panel is scanned to identify the locations of one or more components within and/or behind the body panel so that a fabrication operation may be planned out to avoid the one or more components. The body panel may be disposed within a workable range of one or more industrial robots so that the robots may traverse the body panel with one or more penetrative imaging sensors. One or more industrial robots may be equipped with fabrication tools for carrying out the fabrication operation based at least in part on the scan results.

Abstract: An apparatus for plasma measurement includes an electrode within a remote capacitive sensor, a capacitor within the remote capacitive sensor, and a capillary array disposed within a top surface of the remote capacitive sensor. The capacitor is coupled with the electrode. The capillary array is configured to allow charged particles to pass through the capillary array and charge the capacitor.

Abstract: A method for plasma processing includes biasing a substrate by ramping a sheath voltage during a first phase of a plasma process and removing sidewall charge buildup on a feature of the substrate in an absence of substrate biasing during a second phase of the plasma process.

Abstract: Provided are methods, systems, and computer program products for verifying a card image file. A system may include at least one processor programmed or configured to parse a card image file to determine card data represented by the card image file, generate a plurality of simulated payment transactions based on the card data, each simulated payment transaction including simulated transaction data, issue a plurality of commands to the payment device emulator, the plurality of commands based on the simulated transaction data for the plurality of simulated payment transactions, receive a plurality of command responses generated by the payment device emulator based on the plurality of commands, and verify the card image file based on the plurality of command responses and the card data.

Abstract: A control system for a voice assistant system for implementing actions associated with a vehicle includes one or more controllers and an interface configured to receive a request from the voice assistant system. The request indicates a task requested by a user of the voice assistant system. Processing means arranged to execute, in dependence on the request, a task handler corresponding to the task. The task handler is arranged to cause the control system to perform a plurality of actions associated with the task, to generate a response in dependence on an output of at least some of the plurality of actions and to output the response via the interface to the voice assistant system.

Abstract: A tool for applying a viscous material to a surface. The tool comprises: a body having a frame including at least a partial wall defining a cavity having a size for removably receiving a dispensing container that contains the viscous material; a dispensing assembly that is operatively coupled to the body and has a forcing member for applying force to the dispensing container to dispense the viscous material; (3) a control element attached to the body for controlling the application of the applied force by the movable member of the dispensing assembly; and (4) a guide movably attached to the body, the guide being movable between an operating position and a storage position.

Abstract: A closure with tamper evident features is disclosed.

Abstract: A dribbling practice assembly for practicing dribbling a basketball includes a pair of hoops that are coupled together to form a spherical surround for insertably receiving a basketball. An elastomeric band is coupled to and extends upwardly from the hoops. A strap is coupled to the elastomeric band. The strap is removably wrapped around a user's wrist or hand for suspending the hoops from the user's wrist or hand thereby suspending the basketball from the user's wrist or hand. The elastomeric band stretches when the user bounces the basketball downwardly. Moreover, the elastomeric band urges the hoops toward the strap thereby lifting the basketball up toward the user's wrist or hand to train the user in dribbling the basketball.

Abstract: A vehicle interior panel includes a decorative skin layer and a backing layer. The backing layer can include a barrier material that helps prevent outgassing of a plasticizer of the decorative skin layer in a direction toward an underlying substrate of the panel. The backing layer can be formed by vacuum coating and/or formed while a slush molded layer remains on a slush molding tool surface on which it was formed. in some cases, a slush molding tool thus finds new uses in a vacuum coating process or in some other process apart from slush molding.

Abstract: A container for storage and shipping of objects includes a lid assembly having two configurations and an open-top box. In the first configuration the container can be loaded with objects for storage or collection while limiting physical and visual access to the contents of the box and in the second configuration, the container is sealed for shipping. The lid assembly contains side flaps which may be used to stabilize the lid assembly in the first configuration, and in the second configuration, secure the lid assembly to the open-top box. Preferably, the container is formed from one contiguous blank. The blank is preferably made of corrugated cardboard but may be formed from any substantially rigid material.
