Abstract: An apparatus and method for compensating a coordinate measurement machine is provided, which may be a laser-based coordinate measurement machine, laser tracker, or other coordinate measurement device. In one exemplary method, such compensation comprises self-compensation of payload parameters by means of embedded tracker targets. In another exemplary embodiment, such compensation comprises self-compensation of payload, azimuth-post, axis, or R0 parameters by means of embedded temperature sensors.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to systems and methods for recording, storing and playing back audio and video works. In one embodiment, a method of presenting a variable work, such as an audio track, to a user includes presenting a first version of the work to the user. The first version has a trigger point therein. The method includes presenting a second version of the work to the user if the first version trigger point is reached during the presentation of the first version. If the first version trigger point is not reached, the first version is re-presented. In this manner, the use of a trigger point within the work can help determine whether the user should be presented with the same work again, or a different version of the work, upon subsequent views or listenings of the work.

Abstract: A rowing shell for recreational and/or competitive use on flat or rough water. The shell includes a sealed and waterproof hull and attachments. The hull and attachments are sleek and streamlined in design, and are formed and contoured so as to minimize water and wind resistance. The hull includes a slightly upturned bow, a flat mounting surface on which a winged outrigger assembly is removably attached to provide support for oarlocks and a substantially flat deck in the vicinity of a rower's seating area. This allows water entering the craft to exit without impeding efficient operation. The winged outrigger assembly is mounted to the hull at the bow side of the rower's seating position. The forward portion of the outrigger assembly is tapered to blend with, and conform substantially to, the fore portion contours of the hull and consist of two arcuately shaped oar outrigger arms integrally formed with the body of the outrigger assembly.

Abstract: An integrated method that comprises a hydrocarbon thermal cracking operation to form at least one olefin product, coupled with dimerization and metathesis operations, the dimerization operation forming additional feed material for the metathesis operation, and the metathesis operation forming additional amounts of olefin product.

Abstract: A method for thermally cracking a hydrocarbonaceous feed material using a combustion fuel fired furnace wherein at least part of the combustion fuel employed in the furnace is syngas.
