Abstract: Right and left safety module embodiments are designed to be installed in openings located midway along right and left sides of flatbed trucks. The modules include a standing platform and an intermediate platform. While the truck is being driven alongside a roadway work zone, a worker standing on the module's standing platform either 1) moves traffic delineators one at a time from the intermediate platform, and then places the delineators at spaced locations alongside the roadway work zone, or 2) removes traffic delineators one at a time from spaced locations alongside the roadway work zone, and then places the delineators onto the intermediate platform. Vertically movable safety rails and pivotal safety gates of the modules prevent falls from the modules of workers standing on the standing platform.

Abstract: Embodiments of safety trucks incorporate multiple connection points to which a variety of attachments, or combinations of attachments, can be releasably and interchangeably coupled to enable their use with increased effectiveness to safeguard roadway construction, maintenance and repair personnel as they perform tasks within or relatively near to roadway workzones and worksites. Also, methods of operation of the safety truck embodiments enhance their ability to guard and protect roadway construction, maintenance and repair personnel while they work within or relatively near to roadway workzone and worksite locations.

Abstract: A system for generating collision data captured by safety monitoring equipment on-board a safety truck may include a processor that receives an indication of a speed of a vehicle approaching the safety truck and that overlays a textual indication of the speed of the vehicle onto frames of video captured of the vehicle. If the processor receives an indication that the vehicle has collided with the safety truck, a timestamp is associated with the video and a predetermined portion preceding the timestamp and after the timestamp is not overwritten.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for performing a procedure on a uterine cavity of a patient are disclosed. The methods can include visualizing the uterine cavity, biopsying a tissue with a biopsy device, and ejecting fluid from the biopsying device into the uterine cavity. The apparatuses can have a sealable acorn tip, a handle, a repositioning clip, a distal indicia, a proximal indicia, and a fluid reservoir. The biopsying device can be configured to biopsy and eject fluid under the control of a single hand of a user of the device.

Abstract: A probe card assembly for nondestructive integrated circuit testing is disclosed. The probe card assembly includes an outer gimbal bearing with a tapered bearing surface being mounted on a top surface of a printed circuit board. The probe card assembly further includes an inner gimbal bearing with a spherical bearing surface which contacts the tapered bearing surface of the outer gimbal bearing at a single point of contact about a circumference thereof. The probe card assembly further includes a spring plate mounted to the outer gimbal bearing, providing a downward force to a substrate.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engine that generates client profile-based sales decisions. An embodiment of the present invention is directed to providing new insights to strengthen opportunities to provide additional services to clients. The system is directed to developing client profile-based recommendations for trade ideas. For example, the innovative engine may recommend opportunities, such as new trade ideas, to a particular client based upon the client's transaction history, as well as other data and factors. The system may generate an account profile based upon client data and use this profile to score a potential new trade idea.

Abstract: A system for generating collision data captured by safety monitoring equipment on-hoard a safety truck may include a processor that receives an indication of a speed of a vehicle approaching the safety truck and that overlays a textual indication of the speed of the vehicle onto frames of video captured of the vehicle. If the processor receives an indication that the vehicle has collided with the safety truck, a timestamp is associated with the video and a predetermined portion preceding the timestamp and after the timestamp is not overwritten.

Abstract: Right and left safety module embodiments are designed to be installed in insets located midway along right and left sides of flatbed trucks. The modules provide “man baskets” that have lower and upper platforms. While the truck is being driven alongside a roadway work zone, a workperson standing on the module's lower platform either 1) moves traffic delineators one at a time from the upper platform, and then places the delineators at spaced locations alongside the roadway work zone, or 2) removes traffic delineators one at a time from spaced locations alongside the roadway work zone, and then places the delineators onto the upper platform. Vertically movable safety rails and pivotal safety gates of the modules prevent falls from the modules of workpersons standing on the lower platform.

Abstract: A probe tip structure that decreases the accumulation rate of Sn particles to the probe tip and enables considerably more efficient and complete laser cleaning is disclosed. In an embodiment, the probe structure includes an array of probe tips, each probe tip having an inner core; an interfacial layer bonded to the inner core; and an outer layer bonded to the interfacial layer, wherein the outer layer is resistant to adherence of the solder of the ball grid array package.

Abstract: A rack structure is provided for supporting an elongate, generally horizontally extending nested stack of substantially identically configured barrel-like traffic delineators at a location atop a cab of a truck, with the nested stack of traffic delineators being laid on one of its sides so the stack extends generally forwardly-rearwardly, with a relatively smaller front end region of the nested stack situated forwardly of a relatively larger rear end region of the nested stack. The rack structure has a forwardly-rearwardly-movable component configured to perimetrically surround and support a portion of the relatively smaller front end region of the stack, and a forwardly-rearwardly extending fixed component that underlies and supports a portion of the relatively larger rear end region of the stack.
