  • Patent number: 12051378
    Abstract: A method of operating a liquid crystal display (LCD) device is disclosed. The device comprises an LCD screen held by a housing, a camera positioned within the housing, and a backlight arranged to illuminate the LCD screen. The method comprises displaying a first image on the LCD screen by setting a first set of elements of the LCD screen to transmit light and illuminating the LCD screen with the backlight. After switching off the backlight, a second set of elements is set to transmit light with colour filters off, and an image is captured with the camera. After capturing the image, a second image is displayed on the LCD screen by setting a third set of elements to transmit light and illuminating the LCD screen with the backlight.

  • Publication number: 20230250954
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of an oxygen torch cutting system. In one embodiment, the oxygen torch cutting system comprises a cutting torch supplied with an oxygen gas source, a fuel gas source, and a third gas source. The third gas source can be a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen gasses (HHO) or hydrogen gas (H2) and can be added to the fuel gas source. The oxygen torch cutting system can include one or more gas lines, gas control valves, and flashback arrestors. The addition of HHO or H2 gas to the fuel gas source can be facilitated by a tee connector. The inclusion of HHO or H2 gas into the fuel gas source increases the efficiency of the oxygen cutting torch system by replacing a significant amount of the fuel with less expensive HHO or H2 gas and increases the oxidation rate of metal and creates a cleaner flame.

  • Patent number: 11657489
    Abstract: A method of analyzing images is performed at a computer system that is in communication with an image acquisition device having an image sensor. The method includes receiving a reference template that includes a sync region and an inspection region that is located at an offset from the sync region. The method also includes acquiring a continuous sequence of image frames from the image sensor and storing each of the image frames in a buffer within the computer system's memory. The method further includes, for each image frame in the buffer, determining whether the image frame includes a sub-region matching the sync region. The method also includes, in accordance with a determination that the image frame includes a sub-region matching the sync region, capturing an inspection region within the image frame at the offset from the sub-region, and storing the captured inspection region to a non-volatile portion of the memory.

  • Patent number: PP36586
    Abstract: A new and distinct nectarine tree named ‘A-662CN’ which originated from a hand-pollinated cross of ‘A-421CN’ nectarine (female parent; unreleased breeding selection) x ‘A-334CN’ nectarine (male parent; unreleased breeding selection) made in 1993 is described. This new nectarine tree cultivar can be distinguished by its yellow, standard-acid, firm flesh, early-season ripening, high soluble solids content, outstanding flavor, good postharvest performance, and moderate tolerance to bacterial spot.
