  • Patent number: 8922486
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for determining locations in a projected image are provided. The apparatus comprises a light sensor; a body comprising the light sensor, the body enabled to position the light sensor proximal to a screen to detect light from a projector; a communication interface for communicating with a projector system comprising at least the projector; and, a processor enabled to transmit a request to the projector system to project a structured light pattern using the projector; and when at least one pixel in the structured light pattern projected by the projector is detected at the light sensor, transmit a detection indication to the projector system to communicate detection of the at least one pixel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8916029
    Abstract: A contaminated solvent recycling system is disclosed and claimed. The system comprises a distillation vessel having an upper distillation zone and a separate, lower, waste collection zone. A heater heats contaminated solvent feed within the distillation zone to distill off the solvent. By separating the distillation zone from the waste collection zone, the distillation zone can process consecutive batches of contaminated solvent feed. The waste collection zone can accommodate waste accumulating from the distillation process for extended periods of time between waste removal operations.

  • Publication number: 20090114521
    Abstract: A contaminated solvent recycling system comprises a distillation vessel having a distillation zone and a separate waste collection zone and heating means for heating contaminated solvent feed within the distillation zone vessel to distill off the solvent. By separating the distillation zone from the waste collection zone, the distillation zone can be made small enough to process small consecutive batches of contaminated solvent feed whilst the waste collection zone can be made large enough to accommodate waste accumulating from the distillation process for extended periods of time between waste removal operations.

  • Publication number: 20060006703
    Abstract: A folding seat and storage console assembly for a vehicle is provided. The assembly has a storage console positioned on a seat bottom frame. A pair of front legs is each pivotally connected to the seat bottom frame. A pair of rear legs is pivotally connected to the seat bottom frame, wherein said seat bottom frame is translatable between an unfolded position and a folded position by folding the front legs and the rear legs about their respective pivotal connections.
