Abstract: A system performs optical character recognition (OCR) on an image displaying a portion of an object. An image classification system identifies the object in the image, based on which one or more object detection models identify labels associated with the object within the image. The system determines text of the identified labels using OCR, and analyzes the OCR resultant text for discrepancies and/or inaccuracies. In response to identifying a discrepancy, the system provides a recommendation for improving the accuracy of the OCR resultant text.

Abstract: A rimfire reloading tool for making rimfire cartridges is disclosed. The tool includes first and second handles connected by a hinge. A bullet mold is formed by two bullet mold heads located opposite each other on the first and second handles. The bullet mold is formed when the first and second handles are brought together. First and second clipping portions are located opposite of each other on the first and second handles and clip excess metal from the formed bullet. First and second crimping portions are located opposite each other and crimp a case onto the formed bullet when the first and second handles are brought together, thereby providing a rimfire cartridge.

Abstract: A method is taught of introducing an alternating voltage between a first electrode and a second electrode in a mixture comprising a depolarizing agent. The method then alternates between forming hydrogen gas at the first electrode while simultaneously oxidizing a depolarizing agent at the second electrode and forming hydrogen gas at the second electrode while simultaneously oxidizing the depolarizing agent at the first electrode.

Abstract: A fastener for installation into a workpiece which may be installed by either a swaging operation or a torquing operation. The fastener includes an enlarged protruding head which is proximal to a substantially cylindrical smooth shank portion. A threaded shank portion positioned distal to the smooth shank portion includes a male thread which is sufficiently strong to have a swage collar swaged onto it. Distal to the threaded shank portion is a pin tail portion having a surface which is configured to engage a tool. Positioned between the threaded shank portion and the pin tail portion is a breakneck groove having a lower tensile strength than any other portion of the fastener. The tensile strength of the breakneck groove is controlled such that the fastener severs within the breakneck groove when a preset range of tension is applied to the pin tail portion by the tool.

Abstract: A drive socket for a male threaded fastener includes three rounded lobes of equal radius which are located equidistant from the center of the fastener and 120° apart from each other. The drive socket also includes three flat surfaces, each flat surface being located opposite one of the lobes and equidistant from the center of the fastener. Another embodiment of a drive socket includes a first set of three lobes and a second set of three lobes, each lobe being of equal radius and equidistant from the center of the fastener. The lobes of the first set are 120° apart and the lobes of the second set are also 120° apart and 60° apart from the lobes of the first set. Each of the lobes of the first set includes a flat surface which is adjacent and tangential to the radius portion of the lobe.

Abstract: A threaded insert for providing stronger threads to a parent material. The threaded insert includes a bushing portion having male threads on the external surface and female threads within an internal bore. The threaded insert also includes keys which lock the threaded insert into a threaded hole within the parent material. The keys are positioned within slots along the external surface of the bushing portion of the threaded insert. The slots include two substantially parallel walls which are substantially perpendicular to a bottom surface of the slots. A method for assembling the threaded insert reduces the tendency of the keys to be installed offset from the bottom surface of the slots.

Abstract: The present invention describes the identification of a mutation in a human FIBL-6 protein, which mutation is associated with Familial Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Transcripts and products of this mutated gene are useful in detecting and diagnosing AMD, developing therapeutics for treatment of AMD, as well as the isolation and manufacture of the protein and the constructions of transgenic animals expressing the mutant genes.

Abstract: A fastener for installation into an interference fit hole within a structure. The fastener may be installed through automated installation methods. The fastener includes an enlarged protruding head at a proximal end of the fastener. Distal the head is a substantially cylindrical shoulder portion. The shoulder portion is coated with a lubricant to facilitate insertion of the shoulder portion into the interference fit hole within the structure. A threaded portion having a male thread is positioned distal to the shoulder portion. An aperture having a curved shape and extending into the fastener is positioned on a distal face of the fastener. The aperture may taper proximally into the fastener.
