  • Patent number: 8406508
    Abstract: A method of reproducing a three dimensional (3D) image by counter-distorting a two dimensional (2D) image prior to vacuum forming. A captured or obtained image of a subject is digitalized into 3D and 2D formats and used to create a 3D surface using a CNC machine. A standardized grid pattern with numerous reference points is printed on a vacuum formable material and vacuum formed on the 3D surface representing a subject. The reference points on the grid are displaced during the vacuum forming process due to the 3D nature of the surface. If the image of the subject were printed on the vacuum formable material, it would appear distorted. The displaced reference points are observed and the data is entered into the inventive software which generates a new image with compensated morphological changes. When the new image is vacuum formed on vacuum formable material under the same conditions, the new image would not appear distorted and would accurately depict the subject in 3D.

  • Patent number: 8027907
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for managing pre-trade activity. In general, a distribution of information about what traders and customers want to do may be known. Users may be made aware of trade ideas that can be proposed to a trading desk's buy-side clients. Relevant information on the trading desk may be brought together, and the information may be processed through a set of rules that extract trading opportunities. On the buy side, trade ideas may be extracted without having to have the intervention of a sell-side salesforce.

  • Publication number: 20060121302
    Abstract: A zinc-nickel substrate is applied to a component by using a zinc-nickel wire formed with between about 8 to 20 percent nickel and between about 80 to 90 percent zinc. This formed zinc-nickel wire is held in a two wire electric arc spray system to spray the zinc-nickel substrate on the component, such as an aircraft part, while operating the two wire electric arc spray system within a specific range of operating parameters.
