Abstract: A method for image enhancement includes capturing multiple input images of a scene, including at least a first input image having a first field of view (FOV) captured with a first focal depth and a second input image having a second FOV captured with a second focal depth. The input images in the sequence are preprocessed so as to align the images. The aligned images are processed in a neural network, which generates an output image having an extended depth of field encompassing at least the first and second focal depths.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for updating one or more virtualized workspaces. The one or more virtualized workspaces may be facilitated by cloning a master root disk image, and then applying temporary personalization to the master root disk image clone. The master root image clone may then be published to one or more of the users by omitting one or more portions of the personalization. Furthermore, re-personalization of a user's copy of the published master root disk image clone may be provided for use on the local computer of the user; re-personalization of a user's copy may be based at least in part on the clone.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for virtualization of workspaces in a computer system. The computer system may include an operating system that may abstract the computer's hardware and other applications. Further, the operating system may contain and isolate operating system services from each other and applications and may facilitate virtualized execution of one or more applications. In addition, the virtualization of workspace may contain and isolate user data from the hardware, the operating system and the applications, and may use a server to provide remote access to the virtualized workspace from a client device.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for transporting a virtual workspace from one computer to another, without installing hardware elements on the second computer. The virtual workspace may be embodied as a set of virtual disk images that facilitate the transportation of the workspace to another computer without installation of hardware elements.

In addition, the virtualization of workspace may contain and isolate user data from the hardware, the operating system and the applications, and may provide a backup facility to allow instant, hardware agnostic access to the virtualized workspace.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for transporting a virtual workspace from one computer to another, without installing an operating system on the second computer. The virtual workspace may be embodied as a set of virtual disk images that facilitate the transportation of the workspace to another computer for operating the workspace without necessitating the installation of an operating system.

Abstract: Embodiments deliver an operating system and software applications to a personal computer. The operating system and software applications may be managed and configured at a central location prior to delivery. Data that is created or modified on the personal computer may, from time to time, be stored at the central location. When a user switches from one personal computer to another, any and all of the data may be transferred from the central location to the user's current computer. Additionally, the user's current computer may receive suitable versions of the operating system and applications from the central location. In any case, the operating system and software applications may run with a domain of execution that is provided by a hypervisor. Thus, the operating system and software applications may operate within a virtualized machine, perhaps alongside and in isolation from other operating systems and software applications.

Abstract: A remote locator system for tracking as lost child wherein a first remote locator unit is inconspicuously concealed on or located proximal to a small child. A second remote locator unit may be carried by a parent or caregiver. The remote locator system may include a receiver, transmitter, and/or a proximity device to enable at least one remote locator unit to monitor and or locate a corresponding remote locator unit.

Abstract: A system for tracking as lost child a receiver attached to the coupled to a small child. The system comprises a transmitter carried by the parent. A small receiver and activator is attached to the child. When the parent activates the transmitter, the receiver is activated and buzzer or beeper is set off.

Abstract: A system for transferring, storing and/or playing at least one audio file operatively associated with at least one vehicular device. When a vehicular device is activated, the system of the present invention plays at least one audio file associated with the vehicular device. In a preferred embodiment, the invention may be used to play at least one audio file when at least one turn signal is activated.

Abstract: A system for storing and playing tones operated by a turn signal comprising a memory for storing at least one predetermined audio output and a player for playing an audio signal from the memory which is activated by the turn signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of treating sexual disturbances in humans and inducing mating in non-human mammals using the compounds of formula (A) in a dosage range where the sexually therapeutic amount is from about 0.2 thru 8 mg/person/dose and where the sexually mating amount is from about 0.003 thru 0.2 mg/kg/dose. The present invention also provides a novel pharmaceutical agent, (5R)-5 -(methylamino)-5,6-dihydro-4H-imidazo[4,5,1-ij]quinoline-2(1H)-thione and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of nitrated aromatic compounds by the mixed acid process, in which water is removed from the reaction mass by passing an inert gas through it.

Abstract: A duplex process for the mononitration of benzene wherein the nitration is carried out in an azeotropic first stage followed by a lower temperature, mixed-acid second stage. The azeotropic stage uses reaction temperatures of at least 120.degree.C in mixed HNO.sub.3 --H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, and excess water is carried overhead as an azeotrope with part of the benzene and is then decanted from the benzene. The nitrated benzene is removed as bottoms and decanted from the acid phase, avoiding the necessity of reconcentrating the H.sub.2 SO.sub.4. Both the nitrated benzene bottoms and the organic, benzene-containing part of the overhead stream are supplied to the second stage for completing the conversion into mononitrobenzene in mixed acid at lower temperatures such as 70.degree.C.
