Abstract: A pulser protection device configured to be coupled to a fuel pump sandwiched between the pulser lines of the fuel. The pulser protection device comprises one uniform body with four substantially rectangular segments. The four substantially rectangular segments includes a first, a second, a third, and a fourth substantially rectangular segment. The second, third, and fourth substantially rectangular segments being bent orthogonally from the first substantially rectangular segment. The pulser device sized to be received between a plurality of pulsers of the fuel pump and if present a mailbox printer of the fuel pump. The method of attachment for pulser within the fuel pump is described herein.

Abstract: A method for execution by a computer generating a virtual reality environment utilizing a group of object representations by identifying an exclusion asset and modifying a set of common illustrative assets to exclude the exclusion asset to produce a redacted set of common illustrative assets. The method further includes rendering a portion of the redacted set of common illustrative asset to produce a redacted set of common illustrative asset video frames and selecting a subset of the redacted set of common illustrative asset video frames to produce a common portion of video frames for the virtual reality environment. The method further includes rendering representations of object representations to produce remaining portions of the video frames for the virtual reality environment. The method further includes linking the common portion and the remaining portions of the video frames to produce the virtual reality environment for interactive consumption.

Abstract: A method for in-store product fulfilment in a retail store having a retail display space and an inventory station in an inventory area where expensive products are stored to avoid theft and bulky products are stored to conserve retail display space. The method involves a step having an electronic request for a product being sent directly from an in-store customer in the retail display space. This electronic request is directed to the inventory station. The method involves a step of having the inventory station send an order confirmation to the in-store customer acknowledging the electronic request, confirming to the in-store customer that the product is available in inventory and directing the customer to proceed to a designated pick up point at the conclusion of their shopping.

Abstract: A synthetic board stock for packaging food product is described, as well as a process for producing the synthetic board stock. The synthetic board stock has multiple layers with chosen properties. The board stock has a density less than 1.0 g/cm3 in order to meet the post-consumer waste stream recycling requirements for polypropylene, polyethylene and other polyolefin polymers. A process for making the synthetic board stock is also described, wherein the process eliminates a step from the prior related to dual print passes.

Abstract: A vehicle operating system (10) for controlling operation of a vehicle (12) in an area (26) in which a safe working area (SWA) (30) is demarcated includes a periphery generator module (22) for generating a periphery of a zone of interest about the vehicle (12) and to output zone data. A scanning arrangement (36) is mountable to the vehicle (12) for scanning a region about the vehicle (12), including the zone of interest, for obstacles, the scanning arrangement (36) outputting obstacle data. A processing module (20) is responsive to the zone data, the obstacle data and SWA data relating to the SWA (30) to determine if a detected obstacle is within both the SWA (30) and the zone of interest. The processing module (20) causes action to be taken regarding further traversal of the area (26) by the vehicle (12) depending on whether or not both conditions are satisfied.

Abstract: A parylene C polymer that is electrically poled such that it is piezoelectric is presented. Methods for manufacturing the piezoelectric parylene C polymer with an optimal piezoelectric coefficient d33 are also disclosed. Actuators formed with piezoelectric parylene C are disclosed as well as sensor devices that incorporate piezoelectric parylene C using charge integrator circuits in which the integration time is longer than likely adiabatic temperature transients.
