Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for generating an image comprising a three-dimensional (“3D”) model or replica of a subject. Such images may include the face of a human subject as well as views of the subject from various angles.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure can be used to generate an image replica of a person wearing various outfits to help the person visualize how clothes and accessories will look without actually having to try them on. Images can be generated from various angles to provide the person an experience as close as possible to actually wearing the clothes, accessories and looking at themselves in the mirror. Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure can help remove much of the current uncertainty involved in buying clothing and accessories online.

Abstract: A method for transporting a cargo load using a carrier aircraft includes: mounting a shield on the cargo load such that the shield is supported by the cargo load to form a protected load; and aerial transporting the protected load as a slung load from the carrier aircraft, wherein the shield serves to protect the cargo load from aerodynamic loads generated by flight of the carrier aircraft.

Abstract: A liquid cooling system comprising: a liquid inlet and outlet; one or more liquid reservoirs in fluid communication with the liquid inlet and outlet; an evaporative element in fluid communication with a liquid reservoir; and a fan in flowable communication with a surface of the evaporative element is provided. The liquid cooling system can cool drinking water. The liquid cooling system can be powered by AC power, DC power, solar power or a combination. The liquid cooling system can be used in-line in a hydration system, for example.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a method of using a pod to rapidly deploy defensive countermeasures from a wide variety of manned aircraft. The method includes using a configurable pod for dispensing different types of infrared countermeasure (IRCM) devices and different types of radio frequency countermeasure (RFCM) devices at a rapid rate. The primary purpose of this method is to rapidly dispense IRCMs and RFCMs is to protect the host aircraft while ingress and egress maneuvers are performed in a hostile area. A secondary use of the method is for use in defending commercial aircraft from missile threats.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a pod based countermeasure dispensing system for external mounting on wide variety of manned aircraft. The pod based system is readily configurable for dispensing different types of infrared countermeasure (IRCM) devices and different types of radio frequency countermeasure (RFCM) devices at a rapid rate. The primary use of the rapidly dispensed IRCMs and RFCMs is to protect the host aircraft while ingress and egress maneuvers are performed in a hostile area. A secondary use of the pod based countermeasure dispensing system is for use in defending commercial aircraft from missile threats.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to a wireless communications, data, and multimedia device that can utilize various service, media, and channels including, for example, cellular radio frequency, wireless hotspot 802.11x radio frequencies, HD radio frequency, and BLUETOOTH® radio frequency, all in an integrated device. The present teachings further provide a Cellular Notebook device featuring a keypad comprising both a QWERTY keyboard and a telephony keypad. The present teachings provide for broadband data service via a primary link using cellular radio frequency data services, and optionally 802.11x hotspot data connections to the Internet. The Cellular Notebook can utilize flash memory, USB, and BLUETOOTH® data and memory storage components only. The Cellular Notebook according to the present teachings can provide the user with network specific-content and serve as an integrated device that empowers the user in an emergency situation like no previously available device.

Abstract: A computer-automated system and method identify text in a first “citing” court case, near a “citing instance” (in which a second “cited” court case is cited), that indicates the reason(s) for citing (RFC). The automated method of designating text, taken from a set of citing documents, as reasons for citing (RFC) that are associated with respective citing instances of a cited document, has steps including: obtaining contexts of the citing instances in the respective citing documents (each context including text that includes the citing instance and text that is near the citing instance), analyzing the content of the contexts, and selecting (from the citing instances' context) text that constitutes the RFC, based on the analyzed content of the contexts. A related computer-automated system and method selects content words that are highly related to the reasons a particular document is cited, and gives them weights that indicate their relative relevance.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of electrochemical analysis of an analyte in a sample. The methods include providing a sample comprising an analyte, and introducing the sample into a capillary tube containing electrophoretic running buffer and a reactant. According to the methods of the invention, one or both of the analyte and the reactant is electrically charged. Chemical contact between analyte and reactant induced by their relative electrophoretic mobility results in the breaking or formation of a covalent bond of one of the analyte or the reactant to produce a detectable product. The methods also include the steps of imposing along the length of the capillary tube an electric current for a time sufficient to bring into chemical contact within the tube analyte and reactant so as to allow formation of product, and detecting the product.
