Abstract: A device for hip extension assessment or exercises, comprising a base, an upper body or back rest, a bar spaced horizontally from the upper body rest by a distance equivalent to a user's torso, the bar comprising a resistance mechanism, wherein the mechanism provides and measures resistance acting vertically at the bar.

Abstract: A method for detecting and tracking tainted cryptographic wallets. The method measures a wallet's propensity to engage in criminal or suspicious activity. Naturally, transacting with a criminal is tantamount either to funding crime or laundering its proceeds, so it is in our collective interest to identify—and then monitor or quarantine—any wallet with criminal association. The method also automatically flags risky withdrawal requests in real-time for further review before committing them to the blockchain. In some embodiments, the exchange can quarantine wallets at a certain AddressScore.

Abstract: A head support includes a chin member, a chest member, a multi-position connection, and a strap. The chin member includes a chin engagement surface. The chest member includes a chest engagement surface. The multi-position connection is located between the chest member and the chin member, and is adapted to maintain an angle between the chest member and the chin member in a collapsed angle of a collapsed configuration and in a plurality of expanded angles greater than the collapsed angle. The multi-position connection includes an angle adjustment actuator adapted to permit the angle between the chest member and the chin member to be changed or maintained. The strap is configured to extend from first and second sides of the chest support and around the user's neck or head when the chest member is engaged with the user's chest.

Abstract: An antenna sub-array for use in an antenna array having a plurality of such sub-arrays includes a stripline for signal distribution, the stripline defining a plurality of signal pathways from a common feed point to a plurality of radiating elements, wherein the stripline is housed in a first support structure located a distance away from a first surface of a ground plane structure.

Abstract: A pipe coupling system includes first and second polymeric, thermoplastic pipes secured to each other by a pipe coupling. The pipe coupling includes a mechanical sealing surface adapted to receive a mechanical seal, a fusion seal, or both. The pipe coupling includes a pipe coupling body with an outer surface and a first end and an oppositely positioned second end. First and second respective threads are respectively defined about the first and second ends. A nut is used in the pipe coupling system when the mechanical seal is used to join the pipe first ends to seal against the coupling inner surface. A mechanical capture ring is also included, which defines a central aperture having inwardly angled engagement prongs that are sized to capture the respective first ends of the pipe. The engagement prongs are configured to each include a sloping face.

Abstract: A computer simulates flight routes for simulated airborne transmitters across a spatial region divided into unit area tiles and over time based on actual aircraft flight plan data. The computer determines transmitter counts per tile per time interval based on the flight routes and assigns transmit parameters, including transmit message rates, to the transmitters. The computer determines transmit message rates per tile based on the transmitter counts and the transmit parameters. The computer generates, for a simulated receiver, an antenna pattern covering at least some of the tiles, and converts the transmit message rates of the covered tiles to a total effective receive message rate of interfering messages at the receiver. The computer determines a probability of successful detection of a desired message among the interfering messages at the receiver based on the effective receive message rate.

Abstract: A system for determining viewership of articles or ads in printed publications and using the determined viewership to determine author compensation, ad rates, or other historical or demographic related information is described. The system receives text capture information of portions of a number of rendered documents that is generated by capture devices operated by a number of users. The system searches digital content using the received capture information and determines a readership value for components of the rendered document based upon the search.

Abstract: A facility for storing a text capture data structure for a particular user is described. The data structure comprises a number of entries. Each entry corresponds to a text capture operation performed by the user from a rendered document. Each entry contains information specifying the text captured in the text capture operation.

Abstract: A connector for a shielded electrical cable. The cable has at least one insulated central conductor surrounded by conductive shielding. The connector comprises a dielectric spacing element for receiving the at least one central conductor of the cable and a conductive shielding arrangement provided around the spacing element and having a first end which defines an annular surface for contacting the shielding of the cable. The connector further comprises a spring arrangement coupled to the shielding arrangement for resiliently urging the shielding of the cable against the annular surface of the shielding arrangement to thereby provide a reliable electrical connection between the cable and the shielding arrangement.

Abstract: A charging circuit for a fuel injection coil enables the controller to selectively add a pulse of increased amplitude to the beginning of an injection current pulse. Optionally, the controller can also select one of a plurality of amplitudes for the pulse and control the duration of the pulse.

Abstract: A receiving system allows for the coherent detection of a spread-spectrum transmission at any point in time during the transmission, thereby avoiding the need to identify the start of the transmission during the transmission-detection process. An input buffer captures the transmissions on a communication channel using a moving time-window. A detector processes a time-slice from the input buffer and identifies all of the simultaneously transmitting transmitters during that time-slice. As each transmitter is identified, the demodulator traces back-in-time to identify where the message can first be detected in the input buffer. The transmission includes suitable characteristics to facilitate detection and demodulation of the message content, but need not contain a preamble to allow the detection process.
