Abstract: The invention is employing the application of tilapia skin that has been processed and preserved in a dried tissue stage. To reach dried tissue stage, the fish skin is required to undergo treatment of Gludehyde and Glycerin solutions that is performed inside the clean room. The skin in new dried stage is then integrated with an adhesive strip and sterile gauze inside the clean room to create a new type of Ready-To-Use bandage that can be utilized as medical dressing for skin injuries, namely Revi-Aid.

Abstract: A rack system and method are provided for processing manufactured products prior to shipment. To simulate reality, the design of such rack system and method contemplates replicating field conditions for use of the manufactured products. A rack system for processing units of manufactured products may comprise one or more plates coupled to a frame. A preferred approach includes designing the rack for use by an operator without specialized skills. This approach includes verifying that there is a match between the configuration of the unit mounted on the plate and the operating mode of the plate before processing can commence. The rack may include a detector for obtaining data from the plate and unit and a processor for comparing the obtained data to determine whether there is a match. A rack system designed using this approach can be useful in processing outdoor units of a split-mount system such as a microwave radio system.

Abstract: A circular saw blade has a frame, which includes a plurality of recesses and a groove. The circular saw blade also has at least two arc-shaped blade strips, each having a plurality of sawteeth formed on the outer rim and at least one bump and a protruding piece on the inner rim, such that each bump is configured for mating with its corresponding recess on the frame and the protruding piece is formed extending along the circumference of the inner rim for insetting into the groove of the frame.

Abstract: An electric saw device having two saw blades being arranged for allowing the two saw blades to be driven to rotate in opposite directions. The two saw blades are respectively formed with circular grooves on their inner surfaces at positions corresponding to each other while enabling the centers of the two circular grooves to aligned with the rotation axes of corresponding saw blades. The electric saw device has a plurality of steel balls, each being sandwiched between the two saw blades while insetting into the circular grooves simultaneously, by that the saw blades are separated from each other by a specific interval. Accordingly, when the two saw blades are rotating in opposite direction, each of the steel balls is acting as a roller bearing for maintaining the two saw blades to be properly separated from each other, and thus preventing the two saw blades from overheating and softened by friction.

Abstract: A circular saw blade with changeable blade strips, comprising: a frame, configured with a plurality of recesses and a groove formed on the circumferential surface of the frame; at least two arc-shaped blade strips, each having a plurality of sawteeth formed on the outer rim thereof while providing the inner rim thereof to be formed with at least one bump and a protruding piece in a manner that each bump is configured for mating with its corresponding recess on the frame and the protruding piece is formed extending along the circumference of the inner rim for insetting into the groove of the frame; and a plurality of bolts; wherein, the at least two blade strips are fixed to the circumference of the frame by screwing the plural bolts through the corresponding via holes on the protruding piece and then into their corresponding screw holes on the frame.

Abstract: A bi-directional audio cable assembly (10) (BACA 10) that functions in combination with an audio amplifier (90), a microphone (92) and a pair of headphones (94). The BACA (10) consists of a single cable that includes an XLR cable (12) that is integrated with a TRS cable (52). The XLR cable (12) has a first end (14) having an XLR plug (44) that is attached to the input of the audio amplifier (90), and a second end (18) having an XLR socket (46) that is attached to the microphone (92). Likewise, the integrated TRS cable (52) has a first end (54) having a TRS plug (64) that is attached to the output of the audio amplifier (90), and a second end (58) that is attached to the pair of headphones (94). The BACA (10) allows a single person to produce an audio signal that is applied via the microphone (92) to the input of the audio amplifier (90) and to hear the same produced audio signal via the pair of headphones (94) without interference from cable-internal noise or external ambient noise.

Abstract: A performance evaluation system that evaluates performance within an entity. The system allows users to assess their performance relative to predetermined goals, progress points and performance indicators or metrics while also providing users with the ability to quickly and effectively identify driving forces for performance.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for previewing resulting screens of UI scripts of client-server information systems and providing screen-to-source association of those UI scripts. The process includes translating UI scripts into UI instructions to be displayed in the clients without executing the scripts in a server or modifying the clients, prompting a user to provide inputs for configuration items so that UI components with conditional logic can be properly previewed and inserting extra logic and data into the generated UI instructions so that when a user selects a location on a screen the corresponding section of a UI scripts will be displayed and highlighted.

Abstract: A system and method for managing change in software systems and applications manages change for both transient and persistent objects in a domain independent, non-intrusive, object-oriented fashion. The system and method are designed and implemented as a combination of two abstract machines consisting of a set of inter-face functions visible to the application, and an internal or private state which is hidden from such application. Applications use the interface functions to obtain the services of this change management system and method. Since the internal state of such system and method is outside the application, change management is provided as a service without the need for altering or adding onto application data structures and interfaces.
