Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for improving the color uniformity of a display of a display device. A plurality of images of the display are captured using an image capture device. The plurality of images are captured in a color space, with each image corresponding to one of a plurality of color channels. A global white balance is performed to the plurality of images to obtain a plurality of normalized images. A local white balance is performed to the plurality of normalized images to obtain a plurality of correction matrices. Performing the local white balance includes defining a set of weighting factors based on a figure of merit and computing a plurality of weighted images based on the plurality of normalized images and the set of weighting factors. The plurality of correction matrices are computed based on the plurality of weighted images.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for assessing the integrity of electrical connections between elements of interfacing electronic devices. In some aspects, a system includes an analysis device having electronics that interface with an assay cartridge inserted into the analysis device, wherein the analysis device is configured to conduct a preflight test in which impedance values for each circuit between the assay cartridge and analysis device are rearranged and assessed to determine the electrical connection integrity of the assay cartridge to the analysis device prior to implementing the assay.

Abstract: An inorganic polymer which comprises one or more organic functional groups and which has the following empirical formula: Rm[M2O]x[Al2O3]y[SiO2]zXqPH2O, in which: R represents an organic functional group; M is an alkali metal; X is selected from chlorine and fluorine; m is >0; q is ?0; x is from 1 to 1.6; y is from 1.0; x/y is from 1.0 to 1.6; z is from 3 to 65; z/y is ?1.0; and P is from 3 to 5.

Abstract: A storage rack comprises a pair of spaced-apart front and rear upright supports. A plurality of generally horizontal front and rear cross-beams extend between the front and rear upright supports, wherein the cross beams have pairs of slots along their length. A pair of spaced apart rails extend from a front cross beam to an associated rear cross beam, each of said rails comprising a generally flat support wall, a guide wall extending upwardly from the support wall and a downwardly depending tab at each end of the support wall. The tabs snap into the slots in the front and rear cross-beams. A plurality of storage units are slidably mounted on the rails of a pair of rails and are movable from a stored position between the front and rear cross-beams and a forward position wherein at least a portion of the storage unit extends forwardly beyond the front cross-beam. The storage unit comprises a stop to prevent forward movement beyond the forward position.

Abstract: An intrusion sensing device includes an intrusion detection sensor enclosed within a housing and operable to detect an intrusion into a container. A mounting detection mechanism contacts the surface of the container when the housing is mounted thereto and is operable to detect when the housing is not in contact with the surface of the container. An access detection mechanism is operably connected to an access panel of the housing and operable to detect removal of the access panel from the housing. A control module is operable in a setup mode and an active mode. The control module is adapted to receive an alarm message from the intrusion detection sensor and operable to initiate an alarm event during the setup mode which varies from an alarm event initiated during the active mode. A wireless transmitter is operable to transmit an alarm indication signal to a remote monitoring system.

Abstract: An iron golf club and a set of iron golf clubs that have a variable weight distribution. Each iron golf club head has a cavity and a raised wall portion that extends upward from the sole and offset from the cavity. The raised wall portion is separated from the cavity by a groove set at an oblique angle to the face portion of the iron golf club The groove deepens the center of mass depth and lengthens the effective face length of the iron golf club. The width of the groove may vary between each golf club in a set of iron golf clubs, such that the width of the groove of the long irons is greater that the width of the groove of the middle irons, and the width of the groove of the middle irons is greater than the width of the groove of the short irons.

Abstract: An all polymeric bed frame including opposing laterally spaced apart, elongated side rails, each of the side rails having first and second ends and comprised of a substantially vertical wall and a horizontal support ledge extending laterally from a lower edge of the substantially vertical wall. The bed frame further includes an end cap positioned at least one of the side rail first or second ends, with end caps adapted for connection to a conventional bed headboard. The end cap is positioned substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the side rails. The bed frame further includes at least two spaced apart slats attached to the horizontal support members between said side rail first and second ends. The said side rails and the said two slats are comprised of a polymeric material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polyethylene copolymers, polypropylene, and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
