Abstract: An emotive lighting system creates volumetric lighting effects with a plurality of point light sources. The plurality of point light sources may be disposed on a plane and are viewable through a lenticular lens disposed a different, non-parallel plane.

Abstract: A method includes covering or contacting a portion of a recurrent laryngeal nerve of a subject with a shield including extraembryonic tissue. The covering occurs during a neck or reconstructive surgery of the subject.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear, a first valve to open and release air from the ear enclosure, and a second valve to open and admit air into the ear enclosure. The headset also includes a first speaker cone to translate an audio frequency signal into audible sound, and a second speaker cone to translate a subsonic frequency signal into air movement that produces positive and negative air pressures within the ear enclosure to open and close the first and second valves.

Abstract: A method includes covering or contacting a portion of a parathyroid of a subject with a shield including extraembryonic tissue and/or a parathyroid protective injection. The covering occurs during a neck or reconstructive surgery of the subject.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a number of techniques that systematically integrate a person's biochemical, symptomatic, and genetic status to generate recommended hormone therapy treatment prescriptions.

Abstract: An electronic pointing device includes a housing. In addition, the electronic device includes a position transducer coupled to the housing. Further, the electronic pointing device includes a plurality of electrical switches coupled to the housing. Still further, the electronic pointing device includes a cover plate removably coupled to the housing. The cover plate includes a plurality of holes, each hole aligned with one of the plurality of electrical switches. The electronic pointing device also includes a plurality of button members. Each button member is removably disposed in one of the holes of the cover plate and disposed to engage the corresponding, aligned electrical switch to actuate that electrical switch.

Abstract: An ammunition tracking system. The ammunition tracking system comprises a server having a data storage. The server is configured to receive data corresponding to a symbolic encoded identifier marked on ammunition, receive data corresponding to a purchaser of the ammunition, associate the data corresponding to the symbolic encoded identifier with the data corresponding to the purchaser of the ammunition, receive data corresponding to a retrieved ammunition casing, and compare the data corresponding to the retrieved ammunition casing with the data corresponding to identification of the ammunition. Upon matching the data corresponding to the retrieved ammunition casing with the data corresponding to identification of the ammunition, the server is configured to transmit the data corresponding to the purchaser of the ammunition.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear. A first valve is to open and release air from the ear enclosure, and a second valve is to open and admit air into the ear enclosure. A speaker cone is to translate an audio signal into audible sound, and a signal modifier is to modify the audio signal with a subsonic frequency signal to cause the speaker cone to generate air movement that produces sufficient positive pressure to open the first valve and sufficient negative pressure to open the second valve.

Abstract: In one example, a system for remote device configurations can include a mobile computing device to: determine configuration information for a remote device, generate a configuration file based on a plurality of inputs corresponding to the configuration information of the remote device, transmit the configuration file to the remote device, and the remote device to alter a plurality of settings based on the received configuration file.

Abstract: A transmission is provided. The transmission may include a planetary gearset. The transmission may also include a thrust hub that may be fixed to the planetary gearset and engaged with a thrust bearing. A clutch hub may be connected with and spaced away from the thrust hub such that the thrust and clutch hubs are not in contact with each other to reduce vibration transfer between the thrust and clutch hubs.

Abstract: A method includes covering a portion of a recurrent laryngeal nerve of a subject with a shield including extraembryonic tissue. The covering occurs during a neck surgery of the subject.

Abstract: A visually uniform multi-level, multi-sectioned deck for a gaming machine player interface is disclosed. Sections of the interface are configured with modular panel assemblies having corresponding sets of electronic components. The panel assemblies may be exchanged to customize and flexibly configure the player interface. The deck includes partitions housing individual modular panel assemblies engaged via mated fastener components, shielding visibility of the installed electronic components from the player position until activated. A plurality of the modular panel assemblies, each having distinct and functional sets of electronic components, are available for engagement in each of the partitions of the deck.

Abstract: An inventive gaming machine is disclosed that includes a floating, mid-screen input deck positioned facing an active display region. The gaming machine positions the input deck relative to the active display region such that a part of the active display region extends below the input deck. The gaming machine implements a large active display region within a relatively compact envelope. The gaming machine further provides an ergonomically superior gaming machine configuration that enables a player to view the full extent of the active display region while requiring minimal head and eye movements.

Abstract: A multi-player gaming system includes a reflective display assembly that presents multiple views of a 3D game object as seen from different viewpoints. The reflective display assembly includes a plurality of reflectors the each reflect an image of the 3D game object toward a respective position disposed around the gaming system.

Abstract: An emotive lighting system creates volumetric lighting effects with a plurality of point light sources. The plurality of point light sources may be disposed on a plane and are viewable through a lenticular lens disposed a different, non-parallel plane.
