  • Publication number: 20190336722
    Abstract: A system for enhanced therapy optimization in connection with multisensory wellness in light and sound comprising a database storing a library of sounds and a processor in communication with the database. The system generates a sound healing methodology and a light healing methodology based on a determined condition of a patient, and provides the patient with a therapy program of light and sound by synching a generated sound scape and a generated light scape. The system receives, in response to the provided therapy program, feedback from the patient in real time and changes the provided therapy program based on the received feedback from the patient in real time.

  • Patent number: 10387732
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining an error in global navigation information are provided. The apparatus includes at least one memory including computer executable instructions and at least one processor configured to read and execute the computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions causing the at least one processor to detect a position based on a global navigation information, determine at least one from among a lateral error and longitudinal error at the detected position based on high resolution mapping data, determine an adjustment value based on determined at least one from among the lateral error and the longitudinal error, and transmit or store the adjustment value and the detected position corresponding to the adjustment value.

  • Patent number: 9208468
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an inventory management system that offers significant improvement over existing systems by automating requests to restock inventory. The present disclosure details an inventory management system that provides real time visibility to stock levels and streamlines materials management activities, while addressing the issues of human resource misallocations, inaccurate inventory data management and related out of stock conditions. Moreover, the system of the present disclosure promotes a high level of confidence in inventory data that enables on-hand inventory levels to be reduced, thereby reducing costs and waste.

  • Publication number: 20090108008
    Abstract: A container for storing welding electrodes includes a container body and a container cap constructed via thermoplastic injection molding. The container is constructed with walls that define an interior region and complementary upper and lower surfaces. When multiple containers are stacked together, the upper surface of one container engages the lower surface of an adjacent container thereby restraining lateral movement between the containers. However, the configuration of the upper and lower surfaces allows for longitudinal movement between the containers.

  • Patent number: 6369952
    Abstract: A visual display device is provided for delivering a generated image, preferably combinable with environment light, to the eye of a user. The device is lightweight and compact but yields a high quality image. In one embodiment, a shroud protects from stray light and holds optical elements in desired alignment. In one embodiment an image generator is masked by at least two masks to provide for a high quality image without waste. In one embodiment, a removably mounted shield or activatable device and convert the apparatus from a see-through device to an immersion device and back again. In one embodiment, the device can be comfortably mounted to the user's head while still allowing for use of conventional eyeglasses. A tracker for outputting an indication of the orientation, attitude and/or position of a head-mounted display (HMD) may be provided.
