Abstract: A method for treating burns and abrasion wounds by applying a cyanoacrylate glue, using a method whereby a quantity of glue is initially applied to a flexible film of releasable material that does not adhere to the glue after it has set, and then transferring said glue to a wound site with light pressure applied through said film sufficient to control bleeding. Said application of glue under pressure will result in a thin layer of glue over the wound site that will react with the moisture present on the wound surface, thus polymerizing quickly and forming a protective coating on the wound that is flexible and sufficient to resist pathogenic penetration while simultaneously allowing the slow passage of moisture at a rate that will maintain an ideal relatively dry condition for the wound, to prevent infections that tend to develop with excessive moisture.

Abstract: The subject invention is a timekeeping device having a dial with eight evenly spaced hour indicators and one hand rather than two, for indicating both hours and minutes. For optimal accuracy the spaces between the hour marks contain eleven evenly spaced marks that indicate five-minute intervals. At the top of the dial there are three numerals 12, 8, and 4. On the bottom side of the dial are the same three numerals 4, 12, and 8. The numbers are in such order that noon can be placed at the top or bottom and all times will read properly. Additionally, all PM numbers can be increased by 12 to form a 24-hour dial.

Abstract: Cellulose cyanoacrylate is employed to bond two surfaces, fill voids or duplicate the shape of a three-dimensional object, Two surfaces may be bonded by placing a sheet of cellulose material between the surfaces and applying cyanoacrylate glue around the edge of the sheet until saturated and allowing it to cure. Paper toweling may favorably be employed as the cellulose material. A break or fracture in an article can be overlaid with a sheet of cellulose that when saturated with cyanoacrylate glue and temporarily held in place and shaped with a releasable film, the fracture can be corrected. A dry powder comprising highly abrasion-resistant particles can be mixed with the cellulose material to enhance abrasion resistance and to improve long-term color stability—especially important for dental cavity treatment. To duplicate the shape of a three-dimensional object, a sheet of releasable film is placed over the object, followed by a sheet of cellulose that is then saturated with cyanoacrylate glue.

Abstract: Presented are embodiments for the generation of point clouds on a surface. A surface is described by a mathematical function. The surface may be subdivided into a plurality of patches, a plurality of triangles, or a plurality of rectangles, inter alia. A plurality of points are calculated and distributed among the patches, triangles, or rectangles comprising the surface. Generation of such point clouds may be useful in rendering N-dimensional surfaces for display or output on computer display or output devices.

Abstract: Novel and simple methods, systems, and computer program products for implementing a 3D rotation using input from a mouse, trackball, or other input device are described. Methods of implementing rotations are presented which lead to new realizations of the 3D rotation group and its double-cover, the unit quaternions. New methods, systems, and computer program products are also presented for interpolating rotations of a 3D scene that is more efficient than previously-known quaternion-based methods. The new methods are also used to derive the quaternion composition formula from the geometry of 3D rotations.

Abstract: Sensing moving entities includes transmitting a stepped-frequency radar signal including multiple frequencies through a wall from a first side of the wall to a second side of the wall. Portions of the radar signal that are reflected by entities located beyond the second side of the wall are detected. The reflected portions are processed to generate processed data including information associated with frequency shifts between the transmitted signal and the detected signal. The processed data is analyzed to determine if reflected portions are associated with moving entities.
