Abstract: A system is provided for processing documents. In particular, the system is incorporates a feeder for feeding documents to a device for further processing of the documents. For instance, the system finds particular application in the field of document imaging in which a variety of documents of varying sizes and orientation are to be fed to an imaging system, such as a document scanner. The system may provide an input mechanism for easily identifying a characteristic of one of the documents and the system may include features for handling packets of documents.

Abstract: A surgical guide includes a metal guide and a plastic reference formed by additive manufacturing. The metal guide is configured to engage a bone surface of a first body area. The metal guide includes a main plate and an arm. The main plate has an inner surface customized and shaped to the bone surface. The main plate defines mounting guides for securing the main plate to the bone surface and defines a machining guide for drilling or cutting through the bone surface. The arm is formed to the main plate at a proximal end and extends to a distal end. The plastic reference has a reference surface customized and shaped to a surface of a second body area that is physically separated from the first body area.

Abstract: A modular armor apparatus includes a support plate and a plurality of replaceable armor modules coupled to the support plate. The armor modules may be detachably/reversibly coupled to the support plate to enable the armor modules to be replaced. In various embodiments, the support plate defines a plurality of first locking features, each armor module of the plurality of armor modules comprises a second locking feature, and the second locking feature of each armor module is configured to be reversibly interlocked with a respective first locking feature of the plurality of first locking features of the support plate.

Abstract: Techniques for connecting computer system entities to remotely located computer system resources by redirecting locators are described herein. A computer system entity that requests access to a computer system resource may first obtain an identifier for that resource and, based on the identifier, may determine the region for that resource. A routing service then resolves the locator to locate a content management system that stores executable scripts that provide access to the computer system resources by redirecting the locator. The location of the executable scripts is based at least in part on the processing of the locator by the content management system.

Abstract: An articulated arm coordinate measurement machine is provided with a power supply having multiple power sources. The power supply having an input configured to receive electrical power from an external energy supply and first and second energy storage members. The first energy storage member having a first processing circuit configured to measure at least one first parameter and transmit a first signal to the first electronic circuit. The second energy storage member having a second processing circuit configured to measure at least one second parameter and transmit a second signal to the first electronic circuit. Wherein the power supply is configure to selectively transfer electrical power from at least one of the first and second energy storage members, the power supply further being configured to change the transfer of electrical power from the first and second energy storage members in response to the first signal and second signal.

Abstract: A method and system for providing augmented reality experiences unique to a user's interface format is provided. The method includes receiving from a mobile device identification of an interface format from which a camera view is opened in the mobile device. The method further includes identifying a trigger within the camera view for launching one version of an augmented reality experience; identifying, from the plurality of versions of the augmented reality experience, the one version that uniquely corresponds to the interface format; and providing to the mobile device for display the one version.

Abstract: A computing resource service receives a request from a customer to assign a domain name to a computing resource. The computing resource service may submit a query to a domain name system service to determine whether the domain name has been reserved for the customer. The domain name system service may provide an encrypted alias record corresponding to the requested domain name and specifying one or more identifiers of customers for whom the domain name has been reserved. The computing resource service may decrypt the alias record and determine whether the customer corresponds to one of the one or more identifiers within the alias record. If the customer does correspond to one of the one or more identifiers within the alias record, the computing resource service may assign the domain name to the computing resource.

Abstract: An articulated arm coordinate measurement machine is provided with a configurable arm bus. The arm bus being comprised of a plurality of busses that may be selectively coupled to form one or more logical data communications busses. The logical busses may be configured to allow accessory devices to be coupled to the arm and transmit data at higher speeds and at lower costs than may be possible using data busses having fixed communications protocols. In one embodiment, one or more communications switches may be arranged in the probe end of the arm to selectively combine the busses into a logical bus.

Abstract: An optical encoder for measuring rotation is provided. The optical encoder includes an optical disk having a diffraction grating track and an index track. The index track being disposed radially inward from the diffraction grating track. The diffraction grating track having a plurality of equally spaced lines that create an alternating light/dark pattern. The index track includes a pattern with at least two sequences, the at least two sequences being equally spaced about the diameter of the index track, each of the sequences having at least one mark and each of the sequences having a different number of marks from the other sequences.
