Abstract: An apparatus and method for detecting functional cellular activity within a volume of a tissue. The method includes inserting a three-dimensional array of optical emitters and optical detectors into a volume of a tissue, where the tissue volume includes one or more cells labeled with an optical reporter of cellular activity; illuminating the one or more cells with photons from the optical emitters of the three-dimensional array to generate optical signals from the optical reporter that labels the one or more cells; and detecting the optical signals using the optical detectors of the three-dimensional array, where the illumination includes one-photon excitation of the optical reporter.

Abstract: An apparatus including a capacitive touch input device (TID); and a controller connected to the capacitive touch input device. The controller is configured to process a user touch signal from the capacitive touch input device. The controller is configured to process a non-touch signal from the capacitive touch input device generated by an electrical coupling of a device to the capacitive touch input device, where the non-touch signal is a variable signal.

Abstract: A corrugated fin or turbulizer for a heat exchanger comprises a series of corrugations with parallel side walls. The side walls are provided with a series of parallel slits between which one-sided or two-sided louvers are defined. Each of the louvers has first and second edges extending along an adjacent pair of slits, and at least one bend located between the edges, thereby causing at least one of the edges of the louver to project outwardly of the plane of the side wall, and providing the side wall with improved crush resistance. The corrugations may preferably be rectangular or trapezoidal in form, having generally flat top and bottom surfaces defined by two closely-spaced bends. The top and bottom surfaces may preferably be provided with protrusions, at least some of which extend close to the bends. This assists in creating localized areas of weakness along which the bends can be formed cleanly.

Abstract: An arrangement of a frame rail bumper beam combination is provided which has a frame rail for connection with a chassis of an automotive vehicle, and a bumper beam having a tubular cross-sectional shape with a first section connected with the frame rail, and a first upper surface between a front end and a rear end of the bumper beam, and the bumper beam having at least first and second cutouts in the first surface with a web therebetween that causes the rail to plastically deform in the first section of the bumper beam in a crash.

Abstract: A motorized golf bag cart includes a base frame which extends and retracts telescopically to respectively expand or collapse a battery storage compartment. A drive motor supported in the base frame is linked to a drive axle which selectively drives a pair of drive wheel hubs positioned on respective opposite sides of the base frame. The base frame also includes a pair of transversely extending hollow tube which receive respective first and second telescoping support axles such that they are movable between an extended, operative position and a retracted, compact storage position. An articulating handle is designed to be compactly folded. The inventive golf bag cart is thus quickly and easily changeable between an extremely compact storage and transport configuration and a very stable, four wheeled, operative position.

Abstract: A reinforced instrument panel assembly capable of being preassembled and then installed as a unit in a motor vehicle. The instrument panel assembly comprises an instrument panel and motor vehicle instruments mounted on a rigid reinforcing bar. A mounting bracket is secured to each end of the reinforcing bar. When the preassembled instrument panel assembly is placed inside the vehicle body and moved forwardly to the installed position, the mounting brackets contact side frame members of the vehicle body and are readily accessible to the installer so that the mounting brackets can be secured to the side frame members quickly and easily. The instrument panel assembly can be moved to a position for installation with a direct forward movement in an ergonomic manner. Hooks on the mounting brackets guide the instrument panel assembly to its installed position. When the instrument panel is installed, the reinforcing bar serves as a brace to resist the effect of side impact on the body in a collision.
