Abstract: An on-axis aimer and distance measurement apparatus for a vision system can include a light source configured to generate a first light beam along a first axis. The first light beam can project an aimer pattern on an object and a receiver can be configured to receive reflected light from the first light beam to determine a distance between a lens of the vision system and the object. One or more parameters of vision system can be controlled based on the determined distance.

Abstract: An electrically small antenna operable in both single-ended and differential antenna systems, and corresponding circuitry configurations, is provided. The antenna may be arranged on or in a wearable audio device, such as an earbud. The antenna may include a first curved arm electrically coupled to a first port. The antenna may include a second curved arm of equal size and equal shape as the first curved arm and electrically coupled to a second port. The second curved arm may be rotationally positioned 180 degrees, relative to the first curved arm, about an imaginary axis perpendicular to a surface of the wearable audio device. The single-ended antenna system may include a radio frequency integrated circuit (“RFIC”), fixed matching network, a tuneable capacitor, and a switching circuit. The differential antenna system may include an RFIC, fixed matching network, a tuneable capacitor, and a balun.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a composition for tissue regeneration, providing M2-macrophages, co-culturing the M2-macrophages with tissue-specific cells in serum free medium; and collecting the supernatant of the co-culture. The compositions obtained by this method are suitable in medicine regenerative treatments, able to regenerate injured tissue. These products are sterile cell-free physiological aqueous solutions that show specific tissue concentration patterns to provide optimal tissue-specific regenerative effects. The compositions may be stored for long periods cryopreserved or lyophilized until its use, avoiding any subsequent blood extraction from the cell-donor, the stored growth factors and/or cytokines biologically active after long-term storage. Moreover, the compositions may be potentially applied in both autologous and allogenic treatments.

Abstract: A system that converts acceleration to rotational energy by using gravity to lower a ballast member and buoyancy to raise it when the ballast member is filled with compressed air. The ballast's initial ascent is controlled by a brake member. This ascent causes a rack assembly to rise that actuates a compressor to refill the intermediary tank with compressed air so the cycle can repeat itself. The initial phase begins with the ballast member containing compressed air so it can ascend up a liquid-filled silo, generating rotational energy along the way using a mounted cable that travels around a wire drum. Upon reaching the top of the silo, valves will open allowing water to enter the ballast thereby sinking it to the bottom, creating additional rotational energy.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an interlocking roof tile comprising two groove extending over length of the interlocking roof tile at both lateral ends that create side walls at the distalmost ends of the interlocking roof tile. The grooves are created on top surface of the interlocking roof tile using a press machine that uses pressure to mold the cement into the interlocking roof tiles. The interlocking roof tile's at bottom surface is flat. The interlocking roof tile further comprises at least one nail opening, provided spatially from each other to mount and secure the interlocking roof tile to the roof. In order to couple a plurality of interlocking roof tiles in series, a first interlocking roof tile is placed coupled to the second roof tile such that side wall of the first interlocking roof tile is engaged with the groove of the second interlocking roof tile.
