Abstract: A device and method for remote-controlled explosive ordnance disposal using an explosive ordnance disposal device that includes a carriage adjustably attached to a device frame having a rotatable bar. The rotatable bar including at least a laser face, an x-ray face, and a disarm device face; the rotatable bar rotated by a servo motor, the servomotor being remotely operable. The laser face having a laser capable of a laser beam visible to a remote viewing device. The remote viewing device co-mounted to the laser face and remotely viewable. The x-ray face having an x-ray device attached to it. The disarm device face having a bomb disarming device attached; wherein the carriage and the rotatable bar may be remotely adjusted such that upon remote rotation the laser, x-ray and bomb disarming device share an aligned orientation and placement for operation.

Abstract: An encoder apparatus including a scale and a readhead including a sensor including an array of sensor elements for detecting a scale signal falling on the sensor, configured such that the sensor elements' outputs that are used to determine the relative position of the scale and readhead are weighted such that the influence of the sensor elements on the determined relative position of the scale and readhead varies across the array according to a predetermined non-rectangular window function that is configured to reduce the adverse effect of undesirable frequencies in the scale signal so as to thereby reduce the encoder apparatus' sub-divisional error.

Abstract: Systems and methods for user-guided automated video production, including video testimonials and other forms of branded video content. A user makes video content selections related to audio and visual graphics for a testimonial. Testimonial requests are then sent inviting others to submit videos. Submitted videos are subsequently processed according to the user's selections to produce branded content with features previously dictated by the user. Branded content without testimonials may also be produced based on user selections.

Abstract: A treatment device includes a plurality of photon emitter arrays directed toward treatment points on a patient's body. The emitter arrays produce greater than 100 mw/cm2 of optical energy at the skin surface of a patient. The treatment points are at mirror image locations and the emitters are energized in a push-pull on-off fashion. The device is automatic, such that once a patient is inserted, an operator only need to press a single button to perform treatment. The treatment device includes, for example, fixed adjustable emitter arrays and motion control emitter arrays. A controller activates the emitter arrays according to a treatment program. The device uses high flux emitter arrays to produce sufficient power. The treatment program may be varied depending on patient needs and/or prescription, including length of treatment, intensity, modulation, etc.

Abstract: A complementary class AB current mirror circuit with a constant current gain which, when driven by a transconductance amplifier, provides a constant overall voltage gain over a wide range of output current. Such current mirror circuit includes cross-coupled pairs of current mirror circuits, both of which are driven by a common reference current and each of which selectively receives a respective portion of the input signal current. The upper pair of current mirror circuits includes: an input current mirror circuit which generates a drive current for the output stage of the lower pair of current mirror circuits; and an output current mirror circuit which generates the source, or "push," portion of the output signal current.
