Abstract: A system including a modulator, a laser source, a mirror, a laser sensor, and a processor. The modulator is movable in a first direction. The laser source is configured to emit laser light in a direction parallel to the surface of the modulator. The mirror is configured to redirect the laser light. The laser sensor is configured to detect a first change in intensity when a particle on the surface of the modulator passes through the laser light emitted by the laser source. The laser sensor is further configured to detect a second change in intensity when the particle on the surface of the modulator passes through the laser light redirected by the at least one mirror. The processor is configured to determine an X-Y location of the particle based on the first change in intensity and the second change in intensity.

Abstract: Moldable material comprising at least 5% by weight of polymeric regrind material recovered from Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method comprises the steps of providing a polymer material sorted from ASR; grinding the polymer material sorted from ASR to form a regrind material; depositing the regrind material into a liquid solution having a specific gravity and performing a liquid density separation; removing a plurality of pieces of regrind material having a specific gravity of less than the liquid solution specific gravity from a surface of the liquid; conditioning the removed pieces of regrind material; blending the respective pieces of regrind material with a primary polymer to create a polymeric blend; compounding the polymeric blend via the addition of at least one additive thereby creating a plastics compound; and supplying the resultant plastics compound to an extrusion machine to produce the moldable material.

Abstract: An abuse deterrent pharmaceutical composition including an acid soluble salt of a pharmaceutically active ingredient and a buffering ingredient; wherein the acid soluble salt of the pharmaceutically active ingredient and the buffering ingredient retard release of the pharmaceutically active ingredient when the composition is ingested in excess of an intended dosage.

Abstract: Described herein is a system in which multiple display devices may be located remotely throughout a facility. The system receives location information for a number of users within the facility. The system is able to identify a set of users collocated with a particular display device and generate a set of configuration settings specific to that set of users. Information provided by the system, either in response to an information request or automatically, may be formatted and/or filtered according to the generated set of configuration settings. In some embodiments, the set of configuration settings may be compiled from each of the users in the set of users based on priority.

Abstract: Modular spectacles that are assembled and disassembled without the use of tools are disclosed. The modular spectacles comprise a pair of lenses, a frame element including a pair of rims defining orifices for accepting the pair of lenses, and a slot located on each side of the frame element, and a pair of three-part hinge sets, each three-part hinge set comprising a first hinge part including an orifice on one end and a compressible end on the other end, a second hinge part including a cutout on one end and a compressible end on the other end, and a third hinge part including an orifice on one end and a compressible end on the other end, wherein the three-part hinge set fits securely within a slot in the frame element. The modular spectacles further comprise a pair of temples, that are inserted securely into the hinge sets.

Abstract: A supplemental drive mechanism for a bicycle or other manually compelled pedal vehicle providing a reciprocating handlebar assembly, a cable drive, a transmission assembly, and a supplemental drive assembly, wherein a forced reciprocating movement of the handlebar by a push-pull motion of a rider by the upper body, by and through the transmission, results in a singular direction rotational movement of a supplemental chain sprocket incorporated into the rear wheel drive of the bicycle in addition to a rotational pedal movement the rider by the lower body as applied to the pedals of the bicycle in a forward direction.

Abstract: Modular spectacles that are assembled and disassembled without the use of tools are disclosed. The modular spectacles comprise a pair of lenses, a middle frame element including a pair of rims for accepting the pair of lenses and a slot on each side, a front frame element with a slot on each side of the front frame element, wherein portions of the front frame element extend over portions of the pair of rims of the middle frame element, a rear frame element similar to the front frame element, and a pair of temples with compressible ends that fit securely within the slots, wherein the lenses are placed within the rims, the middle frame element is placed between the front and rear frame elements, and the temples are inserted into the slots, such that the frame elements are secured together, and the lenses are held in place by the frame elements.

The pump includes a rotatable turbine, a first inlet port in fluid communication with the turbine, a first outlet port in fluid communication with the first inlet port, a second inlet port in fluid communication with the turbine, and a second outlet port in fluid communication with the second inlet port. The turbine pumps fluid from the fluid source into the first inlet port and out of the first inlet port into a reservoir. The turbine pumps fluid in the reservoir into the second inlet port and out of the second outlet port to the fluid destination.

Abstract: Novel methods for delivering a drug to hospital patients for short-term in-hospital use while minimizing long-term use of the drug. Embodiments are provided in which hospitals are identified which may be eligible to treat patients, for example, perform certain types of surgery, and which have measures in place to limit use of the drug to short-term use. The identified hospitals are preferably registered in a storage medium, including computer readable storage media, and may be authorized to receive the shipments of the drug. The received drug may then be dispensed to the patient.
