Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide away to render augmented reality (AR) and/or virtual reality (VR) sensory enhancements using ray tracing. More particularly, systems, apparatuses and methods may provide a way to normalize environment information captured by multiple capture devices, and calculate, for an observer, the sound sources or sensed events vector paths. The systems, apparatuses and methods may detect and/or manage one or more capture devices and assign one or more the capture devices based on one or more conditions to provide observer an immersive VR/AR experience.

Abstract: A temperature controlled storage cabinet, such as for wine, includes two temperature controlled compartments. A door is provided for accessing the compartments. The cabinet includes a single heat exchanger for cooling both of the compartments and a heater for each of the two compartments. The cabinet includes a controller for independently selecting and maintaining a desired temperature in each of the respective compartments.

Abstract: An ice-making system is adapted to operate within a section of a refrigeration appliance where the ice-making system and the ice made in the ice-making system are exposed to a temperature greater than zero degrees Centigrade. When installed in the fresh food compartment of a refrigerator that also has a freezer section compartment, the refrigeration system furnishes a cooling effect to the freezer compartment sufficient to maintain the freezer compartment at a temperature of zero degrees or less and separately furnish to the ice-making unit a cooling effect sufficient to freeze water for making ice in the ice-making unit of the ice-making system. The ice-making system can include a reservoir that is operatively associated with the ice-making unit of the ice-making system for delivering water to the ice-making unit and for receiving water returned from the ice-making unit.

Abstract: Dynamic payment cards and related dynamic payment card management systems and associated methods are disclosed that allow for the efficient management of corporate purchasing needs. The dynamic payment cards can be traditional payment cards with card control settings that are dynamically managed. In addition, a dynamic card management system can automatically interface with card processor systems to dynamically modify these card control settings, and a purchasing management system or other request and approval workflow engine can provide an interface between a company and the dynamic card management system. More generally, an advantageous solution for purchasing management is disclosed that utilizes dynamically or actively managed approval parameters to help control transaction authorization determinations associated with purchasing mechanisms.

Abstract: A horizontally adjustable retainer for a refrigerator door shelf is provided. The retainer is a unitary injection molded piece having an elongated vertical front wall and two vertical sidewalls which extend from the ends of the front wall in the same direction and substantially at right angles from the front wall. The top edge of each sidewall is provided with a resilient depressible projecting release integral to the retainer and having a plurality of spaced recesses for engaging the top edge of a pair of rectangular apertures provided in a refrigerator door liner for receiving and supporting the retainer. A plurality of spaced notches vertically aligned with the recesses are provided at the bottom edge of each sidewall for engaging the bottom edges of the apertures in the door liner. A notch and its associated recess at each sidewall cooperate to rigidly affix the retainer to the refrigerator door liner at one of various positions associated with each notch-recess pair.

Abstract: A method of fabricating multishell fuel targets for inertial confinement fusion usage. Sacrificial hemispherical molds encapsulate a concentric fuel pellet which is positioned by fiber nets stretched tautly across each hemispherical mold section. The fiber ends of the net protrude outwardly beyond the mold surfaces. The joint between the sacrificial hemispheres is smoothed. A ceramic or glass cover is then deposited about the finished mold surfaces to produce an inner spherical surface having continuously smooth surface configuration. The sacrificial mold is removed by gaseous reactions accomplished through the porous ceramic cover prior to enclosing of the outer sphere by addition of an outer coating. The multishell target comprises the inner fuel pellet concentrically arranged within a surrounding coated cover or shell by fiber nets imbedded within the cover material.
