  • Patent number: 7866481
    Abstract: A container for holding an article includes a deformable sleeve and an inner tray. In one embodiment, the inner tray is adapted to hold the article in the container in an orientation within the deformable sleeve with a portion of the article extending from the inner tray and at a position adjacent an opening in the deformable sleeve through which the article may be removed. In another embodiment, the inner tray includes at least one button adapted to be received in a corresponding aperture in the deformable sleeve. The at least one button and aperture cooperate to resist disengagement between the inner tray and the deformable sleeve by stress placed on the sleeve, and the inner tray is adapted to hold the article in the container in an orientation within the deformable sleeve.

  • Publication number: 20100307599
    Abstract: A method of valving a fluid device includes receiving a signal that is correlated to a displacement of a volume chamber of a displacement assembly of a fluid device. A check ball is delatched from a magnetic pole of a first latch valve that is in fluid communication with the volume chamber and a fluid inlet of the fluid device when the displacement of the volume chamber reaches a first value. A check ball is delatched from a magnetic pole of a second latch valve that is in fluid communication with the volume chamber and a fluid outlet of the fluid device when the displacement of the volume chamber reaches a second value.

  • Publication number: 20100295973
    Abstract: An optical system (302) has a plurality of optical surfaces (304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309) configured to provide blurred images of objects located within a selected range of object distances. At least two of the plurality of optical surfaces are configured to contribute to the blurring. An imaging system (300) includes a blurring optical system (302), a sensor (310) which receives light directed through the optical system, and an image processor (320) which selects one or more deblurring functions and applies the deblurring functions to provide a processed image. The processor may apply different deblurring functions to different sets of the raw data representing different portions of the field of view.
