  • Patent number: 9959671
    Abstract: A system and method are provided which generate a three-dimensional model of a subject from continuous capture of images or video on a hand-held portable device, such as the typical consumer “smartphone.” The system may comprise a depth sensor, an integrated digital camera, an inertial measurement unit, and a template-driven data processing pipeline. The pipeline receives and processes depth, color and inertial measurement data to produce a real-time three-dimensional rendering of the subject. The system may also allow for coordination of multiple connected devices such that processing functions may be allocated to different devices. A user may save the rendering in a variety of different formats and transmit it to multiple devices via any conventional means available. The system is thread-safe to prevent crashes. It is also platform-agnostic and may operate on a variety of hardware and software platforms on different types and brands of devices without re-programming.

  • Patent number: 9943092
    Abstract: An improved liquid processing system including a first catalyst chamber with an inlet and an outlet where the outlet receives liquid to be processed, the liquid passing along the first catalyst chamber and exiting the outlet. Tubes are radially displaced within the first catalyst chamber such that the liquid flows around and over the tubes and where the tubes are filled with at least one magnet. A second catalyst chamber of like configuration is provided. The inlet of the second catalyst chamber is connected with the outlet of the first catalyst chamber A pump is connected with the liquid processing system such that liquid at the inlet of the first catalyst chamber is sucked into the first catalyst chamber at a first PSI and velocity and pushed into the second catalyst chamber at a second PSI and velocity.

  • Publication number: 20180083375
    Abstract: A power distribution box assembly with a plurality of separating walls to separate different power sources and from each other is provided. The power distribution box assembly includes a plurality of eyelet posts and busbars for powering a plurality of electric devices. First separating walls are configured to separate each eyelet post from each other. Each of the first separating walls is taller than the eyelet posts. A pair of second separating walls spaced apart from each other and open to a slit define a busbar housing. The busbar housing is configured to receive a portion of one of the busbars so as to separate the busbars from each other. Accordingly, the eyelet terminal housing is dimensioned so as to prevent a tool from contacting two eyelet posts or busbars at the same time.
