  • Patent number: 11933606
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel alignment system has a plurality of cameras, each camera for viewing a respective target disposed at a respective wheel of the vehicle and capturing image data of the target as the wheel and target are continuously rotated a number of degrees of rotation without a pause. The image data is used to calculate a minimum number of poses of the target of at least one pose for every five degrees of rotation as the wheel and target are continuously rotated the number of degrees of rotation without a pause. At least one of the cameras comprises a data processor for performing the steps of preprocessing the image data, and calculating an alignment parameter for the vehicle based on the preprocessed image data.

  • Publication number: 20230075190
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions, kits, and methods for the treatment of conditions associated with hyperproliferative cellular division, such as cancer, diabetes, pre-diabetes, conditions associated with diabetes or pre-diabetes, immune deficiency disease or disorder, conditions associated with the immune deficiency disease or disorder, Alzheimer's disease and conditions associated with Alzheimer's disease, and/or an autoimmune disease and conditions associated with autoimmune diseases. One aspect provides a composition extracted from a biological fluid, such as plasma, from an animal inoculated with an antigenic agent, such as an Ascomyceta (e.g., Aspergillus). One aspect provides for a method of producing such composition.

  • Publication number: 20110227244
    Abstract: A container lid formed of cellulose material is provided for mating with a base container to securely hold various items, such as food items. The container lid includes a body having a main portion and a perimeter, and a skirt extending substantially around the perimeter of the body. The skirt includes a shoulder and an intermediate member connected with the shoulder. The intermediate member extends inwardly towards the base container when mating therewith. The intermediate member and skirt cooperatively form a channel or undercut for receiving the base container so that the base container and lid may be interlocked together.

  • Patent number: 6489089
    Abstract: A method of bleaching and fixing a developed silver halide color negative element comprising mixing a bleaching solution containing an oxidizing agent with a fixing solution containing a silver ion solubilizing agent to form a bleach-fixing solution; shortly after or simultaneously with said mixing, bleach/fixing the silver halide element by contacting it with the bleach/fixing solution; and discarding the bleach/fixing solution after one use; wherein the bleach/fixing step is performed at an elevated temperature; and wherein the silver halide color negative element comprises a silver bromoiodide emulsion with an average iodide content of more than 1 mol % iodide.

  • Patent number: 5691120
    Abstract: Aminosuccinic acid chelants are disclosed which have been found to be applicable in photographic processes. The aminosuccinic acids can be used in a method of bleaching or bleach-fixing a silver halide photographic material comprising contacting the photographic material with a bleaching solution containing at least one metal complex of a polyamino disuccinic acid and one or more metal complexes of a polyamino monosuccinic acid or a monoamino monosuccinic acid.

  • Patent number: 5582958
    Abstract: A photographic bleaching or bleach/fixing composition contains a water-soluble ternary complex of an iron ion, a polycarboxylate ligand, and a second ligand which has at least one carboxyl group on an aromatic nitrogen heterocycle, such as a pyridinecarboxylic acid. Preferred materials are biodegradable, but all of the ternary complexes can be used in a variety of bleach or bleach/fix processes to good advantage as bleaching agents. They are particularly suitable for use in rehalogenating ferric chelate bleaches.

  • Patent number: 5521056
    Abstract: A photographic peracid bleaching composition contains a peracid bleaching agent, and a water-soluble ternary complex of ferric ion, a polycarboxylate ligand, and a second ligand which has at least one carboxyl group on an aromatic nitrogen heterocycle, such as a pyridinecarboxylic acid. These complexes act as catalysts for the peracid bleaching agent. Preferred complexes are biodegradable, but all of the ternary complexes can be used in a variety of peracid bleaching processes to good advantage.
