Abstract: An occupancy sensor is provided with a housing having an interior cavity. A switch is mounted in the interior cavity of the housing and configured for placement in the open and closed positions. A fascia cover plate may be positioned on the housing to enclose the interior cavity. The fascia cover plate has a fascia rib on an interior surface thereof. The fascia rib is arranged to interfere with the switch in the disabled state to prevent positioning of the fascia cover plate on the housing.

Abstract: An interlock assembly is for locking the operating assembly of a safety switch when the cover thereof is open or removed. The safety switch includes an enclosure with the cover and side walls. The operating assembly includes a bracket and a spring-toggle mechanism with a spring-biased drive link having an arm. An operating handle, which is coupled to the spring-biased drive link, operates the operating assembly. The interlock assembly includes a pivotal lever having a catch and a sensing portion. A pivot receives a blind rivet and pivotally couples the pivotal lever to the side wall. A torsion spring biases the pivotal lever toward engaging the arm of the spring-biased drive link in order that the catch engages and locks the arm when the cover of the enclosure is open. The sensing portion is engaged and pivoted by the cover when it is closed.

Abstract: A process for the recovery of oxazole comprising contacting a mixture comprising oxazole and acetonitrile with an acid to form an acid salt of oxazole; separating acid salt of the oxazole from the mixture; and neutralizing the acid salt of oxazole separated from the mixture to release oxazole.

Abstract: A bathroom accessory holder and method therefor, comprising a base member adapted to be suction-coupled to a surface, and a bathroom accessory handle receiving member having a cavity capable of retaining the bottom handle portion of a bathroom accessory, such as a toothbrush, securely in a perpendicular direction relative to a substantially planar surface.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are provided for creating a new compound image by correcting a correlation error in a compound image. According to one embodiment, information identifying a correlation error in a compound image is received, a first constituent image and a second constituent image whose miscorrelation caused the correlation error are identified, a correlation offset of the first constituent image is ascertained, and a new compound image is created by substantially aligning the first constituent image with the second constituent image using the correlation offset.

Abstract: The invention, in one embodiment, is a method for correcting errors in the correlation of a first constituent image and a second constituent image transferred into a composite image at a first and a second correlation offset, respectively. The method includes identifying the first and second constituent images; ascertaining the correlation offset of at least one of the first and second images; and manually correcting the ascertained correlation offset to eliminate the error.

Abstract: An anti-theft protection device for a motor vehicle. In an exemplary application, the anti-theft protection device for a motor vehicle includes a passenger door watershield having a pass-through slit formed therein and an anti-theft sleeve located proximate thereto which encloses and protects the passenger door link rods.

Abstract: A wrist protection sports glove for the hand and wrist of a wearer, the glove comprising a glove body and an elongated wristband portion for securing the wristband about a wearer's wrist. The glove body includes a palm portion having a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion including one or more finger openings thereon; and a flexible support member projecting from a part of the palm portion, at least a portion of the support member having sufficient stiffness for placement, positioning and providing support against at least a portion of the back portion of the wearer's hand during use of the glove. The wristband portion is attached to the rear portion of the palm portion, and includes fastening means for adjustably securing the wristband about the wrist of the wearer.

Abstract: The invention is a method for generating a still image, comprising the steps of producing a plurality of images, each of the plurality having been produced at a distinct focal length, scaling each of the images to a common focal length and combining each of the scaled images to a final image of a single focal length, portions of which are of a relatively high resolution, as compared to the images of the original sequence. The invention also includes combining a sequence of still images of varying fields of view into a panoramic image of an overall field of view, which overall field of view includes all of the fields of view of the sequence. In addition to combining images generated at different fields of view, the method of the invention can be used to combine images generated with respect to different fields of view of an overall scene, such as a panoramic scene into a combined panoramic field of view. This aspect of the invention may also be combined with the varying focal length aspect.

Abstract: Lymphocytes of NK phenotype were cultured with stimulator cell lines in the presence of growth factor containing medium. The resulting lines and clones derived from these lines expressed CD16 and/or Leu 19, but lacked detectable CD3 or T cell receptor .gamma./.delta. complexes on the cell surface. In addition to displaying potent cytolytic activity against K562 erythroleukemia cells (a classical NK target), the vast majority of these lines and clones lysed their specific stimulator cell lines to a significantly greater extent than irrelevant cell lines. These results indicate that some CD3- lymphocytes, phenotypically indistinguishable from NK cells, can recognize and lyse allogeneic targets in a specific manner.

Abstract: A vehicle air freshener is quickly and easily installable and removable from an outlet grille of the vehicle ventilating system. The air freshener includes a tube filled with a fragrance saturated absorbent material. The tube has a sufficiently small diameter to pass through the typical opening in a vehicle interior ventilation outlet grille, and includes a thin, elongate extension and handle which is wider than the grille opening, to preclude passage of the handle through the grille opening. The air freshener is initially provided with one or more sealed scent passages, which are punctured or otherwise removed to allow the scent or fragrance to escape the interior of the air freshener and mix with the air. After opening the scent passage seal, the air freshener is inserted into the ventilation grille opening and is prevented from falling into the ductwork of the ventilation system by the handle which is caught on the outside of the grille, thereby substantially concealing the air freshener.

Abstract: A method of processing video data created for display in one aspect ratio in a plurality of different sequences of frames thereof, each frame in a sequence containing background data which represents at least a part of the same relatively stationary background data in the sequence. The background data in each frame of a sequence is stored and processed so as to produce combined background data representing the background image in the sequence in a different aspect ratio, without the presence of moving objects therein. Data representing moving objects in each frame of a sequence are stored together with selected portions of the background data which surround the moving objects in each frame.

Abstract: Software simulators of logic design circuits run slowly but are capable of providing very finely detailed error trace analyses. On the other hand, hardware accelerators operating to perform similar functions are very fast in their execution but are not capable of practically isolating error states or other critical conditions. Accordingly, the present invention provides an interactive system combining software simulators and hardware accelerators so that when desired test results do not favorably compare with simulated results, a mechanism is provided for storing the current hardware accelerator state and restoring the accelerator to a previous checkpoint state which has been saved as a result of a prior periodic interruption. The hardware accelerator is then operated for a time sufficient to bring it up to a state that occurs just before the detected miscomparison. At this point, state information from the hardware accelerator is supplied to a software simulator for detailed error analysis and fault tracing.
