Abstract: Disclosed is a Braille display with protection against the ingress of contaminants. In one embodiment, contaminant protection is provided by a flexible film that is secured beneath the Braille dots of the display. This film both secures the dots and prevents contaminants from coming into contact with pin actuators within the display housing. In another embodiment, ingress protection is provided by air pressure supplied to a plenum located at the base of the dot pins.

Abstract: A bassinet includes a base, a column assembly rotatably connected to the base at a first end of the column assembly, an arm rotatably connected to a second end of the column assembly, a tub frame pivotably connected to the arm, an infant tub retained within the tub frame, the infant tub including a front wall, a back wall, and two side walls and having areas of reduced height along the front wall and at least one of the side walls to provide enhanced access to the infant located within the infant tub, and an insert configured to reversibly fit within an interior of the infant tub.

Abstract: A router includes a motor unit, a base that receives the motor unit, a threaded shaft supported on one of the motor unit or the base, and a slide supported on the other of the motor unit and the base. The slide engages with the shaft in a first position of the slide in which micro-adjustments to a cutting depth are permitted. The slide disengages with the shaft in a second position of the slide in which macro-adjustments to the cutting depth are permitted. The router includes a lever movable to an unlocked position in which the lever disengages the slide from the shaft to permit macro-adjustments.

Abstract: Embodiments include herein are directed towards various circuit topologies. A self-correcting latch circuit may include a plurality of memory loops, a plurality of clock inputs, a plurality of data inputs, and a plurality of outputs. Each of the plurality of memory loops may be configured to store data in parallel.

Abstract: A router includes a motor unit and a base that receives the motor unit. A threaded shaft is supported on either the motor unit or the base. A slide is supported on the other of the motor unit and the base. The slide engages with the shaft in a first position of the slide in which micro-adjustments to a cutting depth are permitted. The slide disengages with the shaft in a second position of the slide in which macro-adjustments to the cutting depth are permitted. With a lever in a locked position, neither macro-adjustments nor micro-adjustments are permitted regardless of the slide being in the first position or the second position. With the lever in a micro-adjustment position, only micro-adjustments are permitted with the slide in the first position. With the lever in an unlocked position, the lever disengages the slide from the shaft to permit macro-adjustments.

Abstract: Disclosed are overload protection pins (“OP Pins”) for use in a Braille display. Each OP Pin in the display is placed above an associated actuator pin, which allows the OP Pins to be selectively driven upwardly or downwardly. This, in turn, allows the OP Pins to be selectively positioned to generate Braille characters that can be sensed by a BLV user. However, when excessive forces are encountered (defined as forces beyond the standard sensing pressures applied by BLV users) the OP Pins yield and are retracted to a position beneath the upper surface of the Braille display. This serves both to protect both the OP Pins and the underlying actuator mechanisms. Once the excessive force is removed, the OP Pin recovers to its original height.

Abstract: There is provided a method including the steps of receiving mine operations data from a set of data sources in a mine, the mine operations data, processing the mine operations data to detect a set of events meeting at least one operator attention triggering condition, mapping the set of events to a mine model on the basis of location information associated with the events in the set of events, determining an affected location area of the set of events mapped to the mine model, and generating an operator attention indicator dependent on density of events in the affected location area for display for the set of events in the affected location area in the mine model to an operator to adjust operation of one or more mine operations devices.

Abstract: Disclosed is a braille display that is impact resistant and that employs a modular construction. The impact resistance is achieved, in part, by molded and resilient end caps. Each end cap includes a centrally positioned slit that functions in absorbing lateral impacts to the display. The impact resistance is further achieved by an over molded housing that is positioned about an associated USB connector. The modularity of the display is achieved by way of a subassembly that is releasably secured within the interior of a main housing. The subassembly, in turn, includes a series of cell compartments that are arranged in groups. Each group of cell compartments is controlled by an individual shift register. This allows a grouping cell compartments to be removed and replaced as needed without disturbing the remaining cell components.

Abstract: A system is described. The system includes at least one power supply, a control system communicatively coupled to the at least one power supply, a communication module, and at least one channel connecting the at least one power supply to the communication module. The at least one channel is also configured to support communication according to a particular communication protocol. The communication module is configured to interface with two or more power supplies of the at least one power supply via the at least one channel, and each power supply of the at least one power supply is configured to transmit diagnostic data associated with the power supply to the communication module via the at least one channel.

Abstract: A method and system for generating and managing a play are provided. The method includes drawing the play via an electronic forum. The play includes a plurality of players. The electronic forum includes a plurality of buttons or drawing markers for defining moves of the plurality of players. The method also includes posting the play to the electronic forum. Further, the method includes providing access to the play to a user via the electronic forum. In addition, the method includes receiving an edit to the play from the user. The method also includes editing the play. Further, the method includes providing the edited play.

Abstract: A method for performing sequential multi-model race estimation is provided. The method includes acquiring a dataset of identification information of individuals; executing a first model within a multi-model system for estimating a race for each of the individuals included in the dataset; subsequent to executing the first model, executing a second model within the multi-model system for estimating a race for individuals included in the dataset that were unable to be estimated via the first model; and subsequent to executing the second model, executing a third model within the multi-model system for estimating a race for individuals included in the dataset that were unable to be estimated via the first model and the second model, in which the third model estimates a race for individuals with insufficient data fields.

Abstract: Disclosed is a tablet with an improved Braille display. The Braille display employs a pin array that allows for the selective use of either six or eight pin cells. This is accomplished by turning off or on a pin pair adjacent to each cell. The spacing of the pins also allows capacitive sensors to be located adjacent to each Braille cell. These sensors are used to determine the location of the user's finger upon the display. The pin spacing further allows geometric shapes to be generated in additional to text.
