Abstract: A self-watering tray device having an integral internal irrigation system, and a method of watering allowing water to be supplied by a garden water hose and a water faucet. A plurality of said self-watering trays capable of being daisy-chained in a serial configuration to allow a single source of water from a water faucet and a plurality of garden water hoses to provide irrigation water to all of said plurality of self-watering trays and non-self-watering planters positioned thereon.

Abstract: Porogen accumulation in a UV-cure chamber is reduced by removing outgassed porogen through a heated outlet while purge gas is flowed across a window through which a wafer is exposed to UV light. A purge ring having specific major and minor exhaust to inlet area ratios may be partially made of flame polished quartz to improve flow dynamics. The reduction in porogen accumulation allows more wafers to be processed between chamber cleans, thus improving throughput and cost.

Abstract: There is disclosed a system and method for creating value by facilitating third party participation in mobile commerce transactions, providing consumers with a unified perspective of commercial activity, and selectively implementing discounts. The system may include a computerized engine and a point of sale wallet, which may be embedded in a personal trusted device. The computerized engine may be programmed to selectively implement a discount associated with a particular transaction. The personal trusted device may comprise a wireless communications technology, which enables the device to communicate with a back-end system and/or other point of sale devices. The personal trusted device may serve as the nexus of consumer transactions by facilitating payment as well as receipt and storage of electronic receipts. The personal trusted device may also be configured to transmit electronic receipts via the communications technology.

Abstract: This invention is a pneumatically driven dry wall sander with the capability to create a vacuum to trap the dust, which is produced during the sanding operation, and then safely eject the dust away from the work site. A pneumatic motor that is operated by air will operate the sander and sanding disk and at the same time operate a set of impellers that create a slight vacuum. The air flow can be regulated so that the speed of the motor can be controlled depending on the specific need of the worker in performing sanding operations.

Abstract: A patient movement system is used to detect movement of the patient in multiple of different coordinates. The movement of the patient is obtained in real-time and correlated to times of medical images, and used to compensate those medical images for the actual patient movement. This can be used in place of post processing algorithms which do not have actual medical information.

Abstract: An orthopedic fixation device comprises a plate defining a longitudinal axis, the plate being configured to be affixed to the spine with the longitudinal axis generally aligned with the spinal column and comprising an upper edge and a lower edge positioned apart along the longitudinal axis, and a top surface and a bottom surface separated by the upper and lower edges, at least one of the edges being generally oblique to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: Medical imaging information is randomly resampled into the new resampled form. The random resampling can maintain the random nature of the information, and can avoid count loss.

Abstract: An integrated circuit package comprising an enclosure including a dielectric housing, a first electrical contact, and a second electrical contact. The dielectric housing, the first electrical contact, and the second electrical contact are configured to form a contact side of the enclosure. In addition, the first and second electrical contacts are sized to be substantially alignment insensitive for electro-mechanical connection to corresponding contacts of an end-use equipment. The enclosure encapsulates an integrated circuit die which is electrically coupled to the first and second electrical contacts. The alignment insensitive first and second electrical contacts may be electro-mechanically connected to corresponding contacts of an end-use equipment (e.g., a printer). Further, the integrated circuit package may be hosted by a peripheral device (e.g., a printer cartridge).
