The PCBA may include one or more chip packages and/or other components that extend into cavities in the mounting bracket after installation, the cavities located on the mounting bracket to accommodate chip packages and/or other components. The wall-plate may include snaps to couple with the mounting bracket, the snaps extending from an interior surface of the wall-plate, the snaps located away from edges of the wall-plate towards a center of the wall-plate. The mounting bracket may comprise openings to couple with a device in a junction box and/or with the junction box. The wall-plate may comprise, e.g., one or more battery mounts and the mounting bracket may have a shape to accommodate extension by the battery mounts into a plane of the mounting bracket.

Abstract: The invention provides a rotary die mold process for manufacturing softgel capsules incorporating another solid form within said capsule and wherein said softgel capsule is free of air bubbles, in which at least two material strips are brought together by means of counter-running forming rolls and formed into capsules, a liquid and solid filling material being introduced via a filling wedge segment comprising two concave wedge surfaces; a filling medicine inlet; a fill medicine outlet; an output of solids and pre-fill medicine; a solids feed channel and pre-fill medicine; a pre-filling medicine inlet and a solids inlet. A softgel capsule free of air bubbles having incorporated within said capsule a second solid form, said second solid form being the form of a tablet.

Abstract: A control and feedback technique to determine the proper location of powder control temperature regions includes detecting solid parts having specified shape and thermal characteristics. The solid parts are generated by a 3D printer. The solid parts include powder material fused on a layer by layer basis. A powder control temperature region is selected in each layer of powder material, wherein the region is located in unfused powder material adjacent to the solid parts, and wherein the region is selected based on characteristics of the shape of a build area and thermal imaging associated with any of a structural formation of the solid parts adjacent to the region, and an amount of thermal energy radiated by the solid parts adjacent to the region. The amount of thermal energy to cause fusing of the powder material on each subsequent layer is modified based on location of the powder control temperature region.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for obtaining information about an object based on a photograph thereof. In particular, the information is financial information, for example, obtaining the retail price of the object, calculating bank loans for acquiring said object, or estimating the insurance thereof.
