Abstract: Described herein are systems and techniques for implementing a third-party item tracking and payment system that enables a user to walk out without a manual checkout process. The techniques include receiving user identifying information associated with a payment account and conveying an identifier of the account to a management system of the retailer. Items, as selected by the user, are added to a virtual cart that is checked out automatically when the user exits the store and the third party system communicates the cart contents to the retailer for cost calculation and then instructs payment using the stored payment information without disrupting existing inventory and account management systems.

Abstract: A gas exchanger for a perfusion circuit for circulating organ preservation solution to and from a harvested donor organ, the gas exchanger comprising: (i) an inlet for receiving oxygen and CO from an oxygen reservoir and a carbon monoxide (CO) reservoir, (ii) an inlet for receiving the organ preservation solution from the perfusion circuit, (iii) an outlet gas out to environment, and (iv) an outlet for delivering the organ preservation solution treated with oxygen and CO (treated preservation solution) to the perfusion circuit. Also, a system comprising the gas exchanger and the perfusion circuit for circulating the organ preservation solution to and from the harvested donor organ and a method to preserve a donor organ comprising perfusing the donor organ with a mixture of carbon monoxide and oxygen at room temperature.

Abstract: A wearable sensor for tracking articulated body parts is described such as a wrist-worn device which enables 3D tracking of fingers and optionally also the arm and hand without the need to wear a glove or markers on the hand. In an embodiment a camera captures images of an articulated part of a body of a wearer of the device and an articulated model of the body part is tracked in real time to enable gesture-based control of a separate computing device such as a smart phone, laptop computer or other computing device. In examples the device has a structured illumination source and a diffuse illumination source for illuminating the articulated body part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a food and a suspension device (10), the food product being covered with a seasoning, the suspension device (10) configured be attached to a location in an oven.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a package (98) comprising a suspension device (102) for holding a food while cooking and a seasoning for improving the organoleptic properties of the food.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a suspension device (10) for suspending a food while cooking the food in an oven, the suspension device comprising a body (12) having a first portion (14) and a second portion (16), the first portion (14) being configured to engage with a suspension location in the oven, the second portion (16) being configured to hold the food, and wherein the first portion and/or the second portion has a thermal conductivity below 8 w/(mK).

Abstract: An apparatus providing high efficiency heat exchange between two fluids is disclosed. The apparatus most commonly comprises multiple thin panels with fluid channels directing the flow of the two fluids, specifically: one or more flat panels aligned at some angle to the flow of the fluid traveling through the shortest channel of the thin panels. The panels are arranged in series and parallel, so that the hot fluid travels through multiple thin panels. The coolant is delivered to the thin panels through tubes or manifolds while the hot fluid is delivered through a duct or other piping.

Abstract: A doll with an intermittently movable limb, e.g. a leg that kicks when a trigger is pressed in simulation of a soccer player. The doll has a hollow torso and the limb extends from the torso. A toothed rack and at least one gear are mounted in the torso, with the gear being geared to the rack. The axle of the gear is connected to the limb at a pivot point, so that when the gear is partially rotated by motion of the rack, the limb, e.g. a leg, partially pivots about the pivot point, i.e. the leg kicks. External trigger means are provided to displace the rack within the torso transversely to the axis of the gear so that the gear is partially rotated.

Abstract: A doll with a lock of hair of adjustable length and a torso which has upper and lower portions which are rotatable relative to each other. The internal doll structure at the waist of the doll which permits the lock of hair to be adjustable in length, so as to simulate growing hair, is integral with the means at the waist which permits the torso portions to be rotatable relative to each other, e.g. the tube which holds the wound-up cord which displaces the lock of hair into the upper torso, also serves to hold the upper and lower torso portions together in slidable engagement.

Abstract: A fighting toy doll and the combination of a fighting doll and a toy prizefight ring. The doll is provided with appurtenances and mounting so that the doll falls down onto the floor of the ring when appropriately struck by an opponent doll. The fighting doll and ring combination has a swivel mounting for the doll which is rotatably and slidably mounted on a corner post of the ring so that the doll may readily be manually moved about to all parts of the ring. The toy prizefight ring has features of structural design which facilitate assembly of the toy. The fighting doll is provided with internal structure so that movement of the arms, and also the legs in combination with the arms, is readily attained by the insertion of a linear actuator into an opening in the lower torso of the doll, which linear actuator is usually a member of the supporting assembly by which the doll is manually moved about in the ring.
