Abstract: A presentation is assembled of a collection of digital images that include different foreground objects against background regions. A target value of an image parameter for the background regions is determined statistically from captured background region image data of the collection. The background region of each image in the collection is adjusted to uniformly exhibit a value of the image parameter that is within a narrow range of values around a statistically ascertained target value.

Abstract: An actuated telescoping system for navigation within a vascular lumen and thrombectomy of a thrombus. The system includes a tubular catheter member having an open distal end defining a catheter lumen, a vacuum source, a rotational drive system, a flexible shaft having a channel coupled to the rotational drive system for rotational movement in response thereto, and an optional guidewire selectively inserted at least partially within the flexible shaft. The flexible shaft is at least partially disposed within the tubular catheter member configured for uncoupled rotational and translational motion therein and to optionally define a corkscrew motion in response to rotational driving force by the drive system that results in formation of hydrodynamic vortices within the catheter lumen.

Abstract: An everter device to facilitate preparation of ends of arterial segments for end-to-end microvascular anastomosis. The device includes structure that provides sufficient support to prevent unwanted buckling of arterial tissue. The everter device offsets the tendency of the arterial tissue wall to recover its natural shape and fall off securement posts or pins of a coupler ring. The structure may be in the form of an intraluminal catheter balloon. Alternately, the structure may be in the form of a plunger. Alternately, the structure may be in the form of a radially expanding member provided on a shaft. The device further has a contoured surface on an everter end to evert a free end of arterial tissue over a coupler ring, and to cause the posts or pins of the coupler ring to pierce through the everted arterial tissue. The everter end is provided with one or more openings therein, such as a circumferential slot, to receive the posts or pins of the coupler ring.

Abstract: A substantially linear ceramic or metallic radiant of ellipsoidal or polygonal cross section is placed proximate furnace tubes or coils in the radiant section of a fired heater to increase the radiant heat directed to the surface of the tubes or coils.

Abstract: A portable compact tourniquet includes a pivot housing, a strap carriage that is linearly translatable relative to the pivot housing, and a screw assembly. When the screw assembly is operated, the strap carriage away from the pivot housing, thus tightening a tourniquet strap that is attached to the strap carriage and to the pivot housing.

Abstract: A transaction is centrally controlled over multiple communication channels as a sequence of discrete processing units some of which are distributed. In an embodiment, the transaction's processing progression can be shared of the communication channels and paused on one communication channel and resumed on a different communication channel.

Abstract: A user initiates a voice request to perform an operation with an external service and provides a voice credential for the operation. A determination is made as to whether the user has used a separate device from that which is associated with the voice request to log into the external service within a preceding amount of time before the voice request and/or within a succeeding amount of time following the voice request. If the user has such a login with the external service, the voice operation is processed on behalf of the user with the external service using the voice credential; otherwise the voice request is ignored.

Abstract: A nip roller includes a core material having a surface coated with rubber. The nip roller having a support length L1 of 5 m or longer. The rubber surface has a hardness H (deg) equal to or lower than 65 deg as measured by a JIS K6253 Type A durometer (A type). Mass W (kg) of the nip roller and second moment of area I1 (m4) and the Young's modulus E1 (Pa) of the core material satisfy E1I1/W?80000.

Abstract: The present disclosure seeks to provide a metallic burner tile for use in industrial processes such as cracking. The tile is substantially metallic (e.g. more than 80%) with the balance being ceramic coating on surfaces exposed to high temperature. The tile is lighter and more durable than the current ceramic burners.

Abstract: Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, and software for check image data inference processing. Another example method embodiment includes inferring a check amount of a check image included in an account group of check images stored in a memory device. Where the check amount is missing in check data associated with the check image or was poorly read by an optical character recognition process, the method includes inferring of the check amount based at least in part on one or more check amounts of check data associated with other check images of the account group. Once inferred, the method includes updating the check amount of the check data associated with the respective check image with the inferred check amount of the check image. Some embodiments also or alternatively include inferring a check date.

Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for determining changes or revisions to a set of data and providing a user with a computerized graphical depiction of these changes through the use of multiple geometric shapes, the positioning of which shapes relative to one another and the size of which shapes relative to one another depict the changes to the user.

Abstract: A lacrimal stent for intraluminal drainage of a mammal is provided having an elongated tubular member configured to be inserted into at least a portion of the lacrimal drainage structures of the mammal. The elongated tubular member includes an exterior sidewall surface and an interior lumen. The lacrimal stent further includes at least one axial port extending through the exterior sidewall surface to the lumen of the elongated tubular member. The axial port is configured to permit fluidic flow therethrough of the tears of the mammal into the lumen for the purpose of intraluminal drainage.

Abstract: An embodiment of a seat assembly cooperates with an isolation member to isolate a well first portion from a well second portion and comprises one of a recess or a chamber to receive an explosive charge. A pressure sensor, a circuit, and a battery may also be received into the same or other recess(es) or chamber(s) to trigger detonation, or a tool may be run into the well to engage and detonate the explosive charge. The seat assembly is secured in the well casing by at least one deployable gripping component and it resists deformation under the application of a substantial pressure differential across the seat and an isolation member sealably engaged therewith. Detonation of the explosive charge disables the at least one gripping component, thereby enabling retrieval of a body of the seat assembly to the surface using a tool coupled to a wireline or a coiled tubing string.
