Abstract: A unit of luggage configured to ascertain its own weight. The unit of luggage comprises a detection assembly with one sensor assembly disposed around each wheel. Each sensor assembly comprises a housing assembly and a shaft disposed therein. The sensor assembly comprises a sensor housing, a cylinder housing and a cylinder. A load cell sensor is generally disposed within the sensor housing and is operatively disposed adjacent to the shaft such that it may engage the sensor and cause an upward deflection that generates a stress indicative of the weight of the unit of luggage being transferred to the particular, corresponding wheel. The cylinder housing is disposed below the sensor housing and encloses the cylinder, which itself encloses the shaft. A frictional resistance between the shaft and the cylinder permits a controlled movement of the shaft therein and permits a processing unit to ascertain a corresponding weight reading.

Abstract: A counterbalance system for an exoskeleton is provided, including a first hip joint to displace an external load experienced by a user above a waist of the user, the first hip joint provides for three degrees of freedom of movement, a tool interface located above the first hip joint to direct load displacement through the first hip joint, and a counterbalance arm having a first end and a second end, the counterbalance arm is secured to the tool interface at the first end, the second end of the counterbalance arm is moveable in an arcuate rotational path ranging from in front of the tool interface to behind the tool interface. Another system and method are also provided.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to yield analysis techniques for generating root cause candidates for yield analysis. With various implementations of the invention, points of interest are first identified in a layout design. Next, regions of interest are determined for the identified points of interest. Next, one or more properties are extracted from the regions of interest. Based at least on the one or more properties, diagnosis reports of failing devices fabricated according to the layout design are analyzed to identify probable root causes.

Abstract: Various aspects of the disclosed technology relate to circuit defect diagnosis based on sink cell fault models. Defect candidates are determined based on path-tracing from failing bits into the circuit design. Based on the defect candidates and one or more conventional fault models, failing test pattern simulations are performed to determine initial defect suspects. Initial defective sink cell suspects are then determined by comparing driving strengths for fan-out cells of the initial defect suspects with driving strengths for corresponding driver cells. Defective sink cell suspects may be identified in the initial defective sink cell suspects based on fault effect propagations and passing test pattern simulations.

Abstract: A compression undergarment to relief the symptoms of menstrual cramping may comprise a first and second pad both capable of conforming to a female user's hips. Each pad is tapered having two part construction. Such construction may include a pliable exterior panel of resilient material and an interior panel made of compressible material. The second component of the apparatus is a compression undergarment having a first and corresponding second annular sleeve.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosed technology relate to techniques for determining canonical forms of layout patterns. Coordinates of vertices of geometric elements in a window of a layout design are first transformed into new coordinates of the vertices, wherein the coordinates of vertices do not comprise clipped coordinates and the transforming comprises: performing a translation on the coordinates of vertices based on differences between maximum and minimum X/Y coordinate values of the vertices. Based on sums of X/Y coordinate values of the new coordinates of the vertices, a canonical form of the geometric elements is determined. The canonical form coordinates of the vertices may then be determined and sorted. The sorted canonical form coordinates may be employed for pattern matching.

Abstract: A walker standing assist device for aiding the user of a walker or a wheeled mobility device to stand or arise from a seated position. Most walkers have their hand grips that are too high for normal users to utilize in the standing process. The users hands are directed to an area that locates their position to the walker's support frame members and thus within the center of gravity of the walker. The walker standing assist device generally includes a hand platform disk that is rotatable and pivotable to the users changing hand position in the arising or standing process.
