Abstract: A pillow in the present invention may include a main pillow body and a neck support. The main pillow body may include three sections: a head support section and a pair of lateral support sections; and the shape of the main pillow body resembles a reverse letter “U.” In an exemplary embodiment, each lateral support section extends from the main pillow body with an enlarging rear end, and the length of lateral support sections is designed to be slightly longer than conventional pillows, so that the pillow would be long and wide enough to support the user's shoulders, no matter which rest position the user adopts. Also, the rear ends of the lateral support sections are thicker by inserting more stuffing materials inside to provide better lateral support to the user when he/she rests on the side during sleep.

Abstract: A system for verifying an object of interest, includes a grayscale one-dimensional bar pattern coupled to the object, an illumination and imaging system using a one-dimensional imaging device for reading the pattern coupled to the object and for producing a pattern image, a device for translating the pattern image into a sequence of bar widths and transition directions representing a detected code, a device for comparing the detected code with a predetermined code, and a device for indicating one of the detected code and acceptance or rejection of the detected code based on comparison of the detected code with the predetermined code.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed for performing testing and fault isolation of high density passive boards (e.g. unpopulated circuit boards) and substrates. Using a small number of moving probes, simultaneous network resistance and network capacitance measurements may be performed. Thus, test time is minimized by eliminating the need for electrical switching and/or excessive probe movement during the test of a normal circuit board network. Simultaneous network capacitance and network leakage measurement are also achieved using phase-sensitive detection. Dual-frequency measurement techniques allow the measurement of both the capacitance value and resistance value of a leakage path between a network being measured and an unknown network. Any leakage resistance between a network under test and ground or power planes within the circuit board may also be determined from the measurements.
