Abstract: A rear-view mirror and modular monitor system and method include an interior mirror that embeds a modular monitor behind see-through mirror glass. In some embodiments, the system includes multiple cameras, some in the vehicle, bus and/or truck, as well as some cameras outside the vehicle, bus and/or truck, advantageously providing the driver an opportunity to view what is happening, for example, in the back rows of the bus and/or cabin, while also using the mirror to look at objects in the bus and/or cabin that are visible using the mirror. The rear-view mirror and modular monitor system is configured to be easily assembled and/or disassembled when necessary for maintenance and/or to replace parts.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to fabrication of quartz hollow cylinder with reduced bubbles using atmospheric control. An example horizontal rotating arc furnace includes a housing, supports, and a rotary union. The housing defines an interior configured to receive silica particles and electrodes that generate a plasma arc and includes a plurality of first ports on an exterior of the housing fluidly connected to the interior and supply pipes fluidly coupled to the first ports. The supports mechanically couple the housing to a drive system to provide rotational motion to the housing. The rotary union is coupled to the housing includes second ports to fluidly connect to a vacuum supply. The second ports are fluidly connected to the first ports via the supply pipes. The horizontal rotating arc furnace is configured to apply a vacuum to the interior of the housing via the first ports when the housing is spinning.

Abstract: A system whereby a computer program can be transformed so that one or more of the program's symbolic references are made suitable for redirection. Once provided with redirectable symbols, the functionality of the program is easily changed at a later time, such as at start-up time or at run-time. A first phase converts a pre-existing computer program so that symbols can be re-directed. This first phase also generates auxiliary files for use in a later phase. A second phase is where the converted computer program is loaded into, and executed upon, a user's computer. A third phase is where the original computer program functionality is modified. The modification occurs at a high-level and can be performed easily by someone who was not involved in the programming of the original program. Modifications are simplified to the extent that even non-programmers can change the functionality of the computer program. This third phase uses the auxiliary file generated in the first phase.
