Abstract: A system for molding an object includes an articulated mold having an axis and a plurality of mold portions configured to collectively define a molding cavity for shaping the object when arranged in respective molding positions. The system includes a plurality of actuators, each operatively coupled to a respective mold portion and configured to move the respective mold portion along the axis from the respective molding position toward a respective ejecting position for releasing the object. The system includes a controller in communication with each of the plurality of actuators and configured to independently activate each of the plurality of actuators such that one of the plurality of mold portions moves along the axis from the respective molding position toward the respective ejecting position while at least one other of the plurality of mold portions remains stationary relative to the object in order to at least partially support the object.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a light therapy apparatus, system, and method for providing light delivered to a body organ, e.g., skin such as a scalp, via one or more light guides in therapeutic dosages from one or more light sources operating in a variety of wavelengths. The light source may comprise one or more LEDs coupled to an illumination assembly, wherein an array of illumination assemblies may be coupled to a dome configured for conformal placement near or on a body organ. The plurality of illumination assemblies may be actuated upon by one or more actuators that form an active system to cause conformal contact with the body organ utilizing one or more actuator types. A control system may be operably connected to the plurality of illumination assemblies to control one or more parameters, such as localized light position and intensity, and activation of the actuators.

The device includes a casterable frame to which a manually or tiltable hopper is mounted. The device also includes a hinge system between the hopper and frame. A knuckle is provided as a connection point to facilitate storage in translation of the device from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for facilitating selective delivery of aggregate material in bulk from a back of a dump truck or other truck bed to one or more wheelbarrows in a controlled manner. The disclosed embodiments further provide a system that could be operated by a single individual, including the single individual that is then manually moving the wheelbarrow from the truck to the particular location of the delivery site where the aggregate material is to be finally dispensed. The disclosed systems provide a self-contained mechanical device that is comparatively-easily mountable to the back of a dump truck or other truck bed for use, and is electrically, or electric over hydraulically, powered through the electrical system of the vehicle in order to avoid any need for additional power requirements.

Abstract: A method of determining ice accretion on a surface of an aircraft can include supplying a known power to a heating element formed in a patch, wherein the patch includes a temperature sensor. A controller module can compare a sensed thermal signature with a threshold signature and determine the presence of ice accretion on the aircraft.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying at least one participant in imagery related to an event. The methods described herein may involve receiving imagery related to an event and executing at least one of an indicia identification procedure to identify at least one visual indicia in the imagery and a facial identification procedure to identify at least one face in the imagery. The methods described herein may then identify a person in the imagery based on at least one of the execution of the indicia identification procedure and the facial identification procedure.

Abstract: A system and method are provided employing a self-contained mechanical device that is mountable to, for example, a lawn tractor or other similar powered unit, via a standard mounting system, such as a hitch-type mount, to facilitate movement of bulk material or heavy objects around a work site or storage facility. The disclosed embodiments provide a casterable frame and or platform system to which a manually or automatically tiltable platform or hopper may be mounted. Powered movement around a particular site may be facilitated by a small tractor, such as a lawn tractor. Manual unloading may be facilitated using a hinge system between the platform/hopper and frame. A knuckle may be provided as a connection point of the system, to control movement of the system and to facilitate storage of the system in translation of the system from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position.
