Abstract: The decorative decal assembly (20) is configured to be secured within a recessed surface (26) of a weight plate (18) and includes an adhesive layer (36), a printable surface (44) of an adjacent ink protective printing layer (42), and one or more print decals (48) secured to the printable surface (44) and between an upper support surface (40) of the adhesive layer (36) and the ink protective layer (42). The recessed surface (26) defines a display area (56) surrounded on all sides by an expansion zone (58) extending between the display area (56) and the shoulders (30, 32) of the weight plate (18) that define the recessed surface (26) to permit limited expansion of perimeter edges (62A, 62B) of the decal assembly (20) into the expansion zone (58) without contacting the shoulders (30, 32) whenever the weight plate (18) experiences a bounce shock.

Abstract: Inventory at a remote location may be verified by transmitting a security key associated with uniquely identifying object identification information from a verification server to a client machine at the remote location. The security key may then be used to generate a multi-view interactive digital media representation (MVIDMR) of the object that includes a plurality of images captured from different viewpoints. The MVIDMR may then be transmitted to the verification server.

Abstract: A method of mass or mobility spectrometry comprising obtaining one or more sample spectra for a sample. The one or more sample spectra are subjected to pre-processing and then multivariate and/or library based analysis so as to classify the sample. Before the sample spectra are acquired, a library of background spectra, each background spectrum relating to a certain class of sample material, is constructed. The background spectra in this library are used to subtract the background from a sample spectrum during the pre-processing of this sample spectrum.

The one or more sample spectra are subjected to pre-processing and then multivariate and/or library based analysis so as to classify the sample. The pre-processing involves deisotoping the sample spectra.

Abstract: Described are systems and processes for generating multi-view interactive digital media representations (MIDMR) for display on a user device. In one aspect, a mobile device is provided which comprises a display, one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs stored in memory. The one or more programs comprise instructions for locking the mobile device, and providing a lock screen on the display in a lock mode upon receiving user input for accessing the mobile device. The lock screen may display a dynamic MIDMR that dynamically changes without user input, which provides an interactive three-dimensional representation of an object that is responsive to user interaction with the mobile device. The dynamic MIDMR displayed is selected based on predetermined criteria, and may change based on a predetermined algorithm that includes weighted predetermined criteria factors as variables and recalculates the algorithm value to determine changes to the dynamic MIDMR.

Abstract: A method of analysing a sample mass spectrum comprises comparing a sample mass spectrum of a sample with each reference mass spectrum of plural reference mass spectra. A similarity index is assigned to each reference mass spectrum of the plural reference mass spectra based on similarity between the sample mass spectrum and the reference mass spectrum. For each group of one or more groups of the plural reference mass spectra, the similarity indexes for the reference mass spectra belonging to the group are combined so as to provide a group index for the group at a first level of a hierarchy of sample characteristics. The reference mass spectra belonging to each group are mass spectra of reference samples that have a particular characteristic in common. The method provides a way to categorise a sample as belonging to a particular group of reference samples.
