Abstract: Described herein is a texture material dispensing system. The system includes a container assembly, an actuator assembly, and an outlet assembly. The container assembly includes a container and a valve assembly. The actuator assembly includes a trigger actuator pivotably attached to an actuator housing. The outlet assembly includes a flexible tube fluidically connected to the trigger actuator and an adjustable outlet opening. The adjustable outlet opening is adjustable between a position that is aligned substantially parallel to a container assembly axis and a position that is aligned substantially non-parallel to a container assembly axis. Also described herein is a method of using the texture material dispensing system for dispensing a texture material onto a target surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to motor rotors. More particularly, the invention encompasses a motor rotor having at least one rotor bar. The invention also includes a system and method with a rotor having parallel sided rotor bars. The rotor bar preferably has a core and at least one layer of a rotor bar shim.

Abstract: A method for estimating a value of a diffusion tensor includes obtaining, from a plurality of test subjects, DT-MRI data from which an initial estimate of the tensor can be derived. Values indicative of intra-subject variation and inter-subject variation in the data are then determined. These values are used to determine a subject-specific additive offset for adjusting the DT-MRI data.
