Abstract: A system for a medical device that can operate multiple actuated implements with sophisticated and individual motion profiles using a single user actuator. The system has a handle having a pair of slots for each implement and an actuator positioned in the handle for movement between a first position and a second position that has a groove for each implement. Each implement is coupled to the handle a barrel that is captured in the pair of slots and driven by the groove of the actuator. The shape of the pair of slots and the corresponding groove combine to provide a motion profile for the implement that is independent from any other implement having its own pair of slots and groove. Multiple implements may thus be driven simultaneously and can have complex and coordinated movement based on user operation of the single actuator.

Abstract: A modular connector system for facilitating the construction of a playing area or non-playing area, such as an outdoor or backyard ice hockey or skating rink, a netted or lighted area, sand box, garden, and the like. Spanning boards and/or inserted poles can be used to join side connectors to corner connectors and to side connectors to form a free standing, fully enclosed, partially enclosed, walled-in, netted, or partitioned area.

Abstract: Embodiments described relate to a method and apparatus for reducing lithographic distortion. A backside of a semiconductor substrate may be texturized. Then a lithographic process may be performed on the semiconductor substrate having the texturized backside.

Abstract: A spacer-connector and connection arrangements between daughter boards and motherboards are disclosed. Assemblies may include a daughter board one or more spacer-connectors spacing the daughter board above a motherboard and conductive elastomers providing electrical connections between the daughter board and spacer-connector and between the spacer-connector and the motherboard. The spacer-connector may include ground, power, digital and/or controlled impedance RF pathways to conduct signals between the daughter board to the mother board.

Abstract: Space transformer connectors for coupling printed circuit boards and/or other electrical connections are disclosed. A scalar design of a multilayer space transformer connector allows for a variety of pad-array field connections. A conductive elastomer interface provides for repeated and consistent coupling and decoupling of the space transformer connector.

Abstract: Pairing service technologies is described. In embodiment(s), peripheral devices can be discovered, such as by a computer device, and a peripheral device can be configured with multiple services that each correspond to one or more data communication protocols. The multiple services of the peripheral device can be determined, and a pairing sequence can be prioritized for the multiple services. The data communication protocol(s) can then be paired according to the pairing sequence to configure the multiple services of the peripheral device.

Abstract: A recreational apparatus includes a base layer forming one opposed side of the apparatus. A core layer is established on the base layer, the core layer having a fiber optic sheet assembly integration pocket defined therein. A fiber optic sheet is established in the integration pocket. The fiber optic sheet has a plurality of protrusions therethrough. An illumination source and a power supply are each operatively connected to the fiber optic sheet. A cover layer is established on the fiber optic sheet and the core layer.

Abstract: A pollutant control apparatus for mounting in a grate frame used for protecting a water inlet comprising a basin frame and a flexible basin. The basin frame is adapted for disposition upon the grate frame. The flexible basin affixed to the basin frame is made of an open mesh material. In a curb and gutter water inlet, the pollutant control apparatus can optionally further comprise a fabric filter and an inset. The fabric filter is disposed substantially within the flexible basin frame for collecting sediment. The inset is disposed adjacent to the basin frame for securing the fabric filter against the basin frame. The present invention can also be used in a manhole water inlet. In another embodiment of the invention where the water inlet further comprises a shaft disposed under the grate frame, the basin frame further comprises an extension member affixed to the basin frame. The extension member is adapted for attachment to the water inlet shaft.

Abstract: A system and method for creating paper or electronic prescriptions. The system and method permits a user of an electronic prescription creation device to override a drug use evaluation alert, to enter a reason for overriding the drug use evaluation alert, and to enter a reason why a prescribed drug is to be dispensed as written.

Abstract: An allergy testing apparatus for testing a patient for a plurality of allergies at the same time comprises an actuating member resiliently suspended from a frame member and which is movable relative to the frame member. A plurality of spaced apart substance sources are mounted in the frame member below the actuating member. A plurality of spaced apart needles or the like are mounted on the actuating member and extend in the same direction so as to pierce the respective substance sources during movement of the actuating member toward the skin of a patient to apply the substances to the skin of a patient. According to another feature of the invention, the device is shaped like a rotatable, drum-like device, having a plurality of layers. The needles or the like are covered over by a resilient layer, and substance containing means are mounted over the resilient layer and in registration with the respective needles.

Abstract: An inertial sensor assembly (ISA) includes a cluster of three ring laser gyros, each gyro producing an output signal having a pulse repetition rate representative of the rate of angular deviation of the ISA about one of three coordinate axes X, Y, and Z. The ring laser gyros are synchronously dithered at a relatively constant rate. The ISA also includes a triad of three accelerometers, with each accelerometer producing an output signal representative of the rate of velocity deviation of the ISA along one of the X, Y, and Z coordinate axes. A first processor, P1, accumulates the pulses produced by each ring laser gyro over its dither period. The resultant counts are stored in registers for subsequent sampling by the P1 processor at a periodic sampling rate which is greater than the dither rate. The P1 processor then synchronizes each sampled pulse count to a common sampling interval, thereby eliminating errors otherwise caused by using positional data values taken at different times.
