  • Patent number: 11548569
    Abstract: A utility wall for a pickup truck includes: a first portion disposed along a first plane and including alternating first and second vertical columns of apertures, where: the first vertical columns include a vertically repeating pattern including: first rectangular apertures with longer sides oriented in a first direction; ovular apertures; and circular apertures; and the second vertical columns include second rectangular apertures with longer sides oriented in a second direction that is different than the first direction; second and third portions disposed along a second plane that is parallel to the first plane, the second and third portions including bolt apertures through which bolts can extend to bolt the utility wall to the pickup truck; a first c-shaped portion that connects a first end of the first portion to the second portion; and a second c-shaped portion that connects a second end of the first portion to the third portion.

  • Patent number: 8606345
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus in accordance with the present invention comprises a hand-held, battery powered imaging device that provides: (1) an Identification Picture wherein an image of the patient's face is captured for identification purposes; (2) an Area of Interest picture wherein an image of the general area of interest on the patient is captured; and (3) a Subject of Interest picture wherein an image of the subject lesion of interest is captured. Two digital imaging systems, including a wide-angle (e.g. fisheye) imaging system and a macro (close-up) imaging system, are provided to allow for the simultaneous capture of AOI and SOI images thereby capturing an image that identifies the location of the lesion on the body and an image that comprises a close-up view of the lesion. A light source or flash provides illumination during the image capture phase.

  • Patent number: 8380427
    Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a user of a computing device with the ability to view a realistic map of the sky based on information associated with the current location of the user. The information may be geographical information, orientation or directionality of the computing device, time and date, and zoom settings of the computing device. The computing device may use built-in capabilities (e.g., compass) and applications (e.g., maps and GPS) to determine the current location information. The computing device then uses the current location information to obtain celestial and topographical information. Using the celestial information, the computing device displays a map of the sky with the appropriate celestial bodies. Additionally, the computing device uses the topographical information to display a realistic rendering of the horizon, such that objects in the horizon may be displayed to render a realistic representation of the sky from the current location.
