  • Publication number: 20240160662
    Abstract: A graphics-specific search engine receives a search input from a user account for a media platform, determines a search query parsed from the input, and searches a graphics-specific database for existing images that correspond to the search query. An image generator generates new images that correspond to the search query when the search result does not exceed a predetermined number. A graphics display engine sends a plurality of the images to an instance of an account for a media platform.

  • Publication number: 20190160274
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are transdermal microneedling devices that generate and emit low RF energy. Such a microneedling device may comprise a drive motor, drive circuitry for controlling the drive motor, and a drive linkage located on the drive motor rotor. The microneedling device may also comprise a power source capsule comprising a battery and associated power management circuitry. Also included may be a needle cartridge coupled to the main body, and comprising a drive shaft and a needle unit coupled to a distal end of the drive shaft to move therewith, where the needle unit has at least one needle extending therefrom. The drive shaft may comprise a linkage member configured to engage the drive linkage of the drive motor, and be configured to be driven by the drive motor and thereby drive movement of the needle unit such that the at least one needle extends beyond and retracts within the distal end of the needle cartridge.

  • Publication number: 20140074566
    Abstract: One or more sensors are interfaced to a controller which in turn interfaces to a transponder in order to provide occupancy status of a vehicle. The one or more sensors determine the occupancy status of one or more of the seats in the vehicle, and report this to the controller. The controller determines an overall occupancy for the vehicle, and provides this information to the transponder. The transponder then communicates this information to a traffic monitoring or toll collection infrastructure, such as to a toll tag reading tower using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) wireless communication. The collected information may then be used to reduce or eliminate manual occupancy verification by police, and to enable incentive-based toll policy.

  • Patent number: 7199376
    Abstract: A method of monitoring health in chlorophyll containing matter comprises exposing the matter to a light source to cause chlorophyll to fluoresce and emit a fluorescence signal. Any changes in a parameter indicative of changes in the intensity of the fluorescence signal are detected and compared with a predetermined threshold. A change which exceeds the predetermined threshold is interpreted as a transition of the level of stress in the chlorophyll containing matter. An apparatus for monitoring health in chlorophyll containing matter is also provided and comprises a light source for causing chlorophyll in the matter to fluoresce, a detector for detecting the intensity the fluorescent signal, means for measuring changes in a parameter indicative of changes in the intensity of the fluorescent signal and a detector to detect an increase in the change of the parameter above a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 6471450
    Abstract: A countersink cage for controlling a rotating countersink cutter to penetrate to a predetermined depth through a curved surface along a cutting axis. More specifically, the countersink cage comprises a top cage member with a top aperture which is formed for receiving the rotating countersink cutter axially therethrough. Rotatably attached to the top cage member is a bottom cage member. The bottom cage member has a bottom aperture aligning itself with the top aperture for receiving the rotating countersink cutter axially therethrough. Further, two contact members extend from the bottom cage member. The two contact members are sized and configured to contact the curved surface when the countersink cutter penetrates therethrough along the cutting axis to the predetermined depth.
