Abstract: Methods and systems for implementing a traditional computer vision algorithm as a neural network. The method includes: receiving a definition of the traditional computer vision algorithm that identifies a sequence of one or more traditional computer vision algorithm operations; mapping each of the one or more traditional computer vision algorithm operations to a set of one or more neural network primitives that is mathematically equivalent to that traditional computer vision algorithm operation; linking the one or more network primitives mapped to each traditional computer vision algorithm operation according to the sequence to form a neural network representing the traditional computer vision algorithm; and configuring hardware logic capable of implementing a neural network to implement the neural network that represents the traditional computer vision algorithm.

Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical device including an outer shaft, an inner shaft, first and second electrode surfaces, and an irrigation channel. The outer shaft defines a lumen, a proximal end and a distal end forming a cutting window. The inner shaft is rotatably disposed within the outer shaft, and defines a distal portion forming a cutting tip. The cutting tip and the cutting window combine to define a cutting implement. The first and second electrode surfaces are electrically isolated, and are formed at the cutting implement. The irrigation channel extends parallel to the outer shaft, and terminates in at least one outlet port. The outlet port is proximally spaced from the cutting window and is located radially outside of the outer shaft. Fluid (e.g., saline) is emitted at the exterior surface of the device near the cutting window and is readily present for interacting with the electrode surfaces.

Abstract: An atmosphere-controlled system and box for prolonged storage and display of various items, such as memorabilia. Specifically, the oxygen levels and moisture/humidity may be controlled within the box disclosed herein. This helps limit/prevent deterioration and harm to any items that are stored within the box.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for live fire gaming wherein the system includes a camera, coupled to a server, for capturing images of a target onto which projectiles are being shot by a shooting device, a processing algorithm, implemented through the server, for identifying each single incremental change to the target associated with an initial and subsequent impact points of projectiles shot onto the target, each identification using only one captured image from the camera for each impact point, and a user-interface touch screen display, coupled to the server, for displaying and interfacing with one or more of: a representation of the target showing the impact points, marketing material, firearm safety information, and firearm training instructions.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a device that may extend the lifetime of a razor blade. The device may include a housing having a first opening at a first end of the housing and a second opening opposite of the first end; a desiccant to absorb moisture within the housing; a cartridge to hold the desiccant, wherein one side of the desiccant is exposed to the air inside the interior; a base body connected to the second opening of the housing, having a cavity to receive and hold the cartridge; a handle having a hollowed inside portion configured to hold an inserted razor blade handle; at least one one-way valve connected to the handle that, when the handle is inserted into the housing, allow air to be evacuated from the interior of the housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for integrating image processing with shooting sports, and in particular, image processing shot recognition gaming (“Live Fire Gaming”) which utilizes image processing to track shot performance metrics for one or more players, in person or online, in a dynamic, recreational gaming context. In some implementations, the system according to the present disclosure may comprise a shooting device for shooting projectiles onto a target; a camera for capturing and collecting images of impact points of the projectiles on the target; a processing means coupled to the camera for calculating a performance metric based on data relating to the images of the impact points of the projectiles on the target; and a touch screen display coupled to the processing means for displaying the performance metric.

Abstract: A rugged lighted decorative trailer hitch cover adapted for use with interchangeable patterned lens covers.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for preparing phenol aralkylation polymers by reaction among a phenolic monomer, a styrenic monomer and an aryl diolefin, characterized by the absence of a solvent, wherein a phenolic monomer is initially aralkylated in the presence of an acid catalyst with a first portion of at least one styrenic monomer to obtain an aralkylated phenol, the aralkylated phenol is reacted with an aryl diolefin to obtain a phenol aralkylation polymer, and then optionally, (though preferably) the phenol aralkylation polymer is further aralkylated with a second portion of at least one styrenic monomer.
