Abstract: A device and process for applying a quick dry rapid set aqueous solution. An indicator of a selected color and composition is added to an accelerator to be applied along with a resin. The tinted color indicator is typically blue and allows the user to determine if the proper mixture is being applied. The indicator is visible only during application and disappears after application. The resin and accelerator are applied using an airless spray mechanism with delivery systems and spray gun. The spray gun has 2 nozzles and the capability to set the angle between the nozzles.

Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring blood pressure of a user comprises a clip having a base with two side members adapted to releasably receive a portion of a body of the user therebetween with an adjustable pressure pad mounted to one of the two side members, spaced apart from the other of two side members by a separation distance, a magnetic field sensor mounted to one of the two side members with a magnet mounted to the other of the two side members opposite to the magnetic field sensor and spaced apart by the separation distance, a motor operably connected to the adjustable pressure pad wherein the separation distance is selectably adjustable by the motor.

The method comprises applying the clip to a portion of a body of the user, measuring an arterial pulsatile waveform of the user located within the clip with the magnetic field sensor; and intermittently applying pressure user an adjustable pressure pad.

Abstract: A cutting board assembly for capturing fluid resulting from cutting food items includes a cutting board that has food items positioned thereon for cutting the food items. The cutting board is hollow and the cutting board has a drain to route fluid from cutting the food item into an interior of the cutting board. A pan is slidable into the cutting board to capture the fluid from the drain.

Abstract: An electronic game system and a method of its operation are provided for virtual space mapping of a variable activity region in physical space. A calibration input may be received from a positioning device of a game controller that indicates waypoints that define an activity region in physical space. A scale factor may be identified between the activity region and an interactive game region in virtual space based on the calibration input. Positioning information may be received from the positioning device that indicates a position of the positioning device within the activity region. The position of the positioning device within the activity region may be mapped to a corresponding virtual position within the interactive game region based on the scale factor.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bulb slicer for preferably slicing garlic and shallots. The bulb slicer includes a top portion, a base portion, and a slicing portion. The top portion includes a plurality of fingers extending downwardly from the underside of the top portion. The slicing portion includes a plurality of blades. The number of the plurality of fingers corresponds to the numbers of spaces between the plurality of blades, the width of the plurality of fingers corresponds to the width of the spaces between the plurality of blades; and the positioning of the plurality of fingers corresponds to the position of the spaces between the plurality of blades. A gully defined above the slicing portion, the gully sized to cradle the bulbs in an orientation relative to the plurality of blades such that the bulb is sliced across the width rather than the length.

Abstract: A brush for basting and applying sauces to food features a head, a handle attached to the head and a number of bristles positioned on the head. Each of the bristles features a crescent-shaped cross section.

Abstract: A system and method for diagnosis of video device performance in the transfer of audio visual data over a video network physically interfaces with the network to receive audio visual data associated with the video device of interest and uses diagnostic tools to access the audio visual data for determination of performance statistics with analysis of the accessed audio visual data, including video device jitter, latency, throughput, and packet loss.

Abstract: A method of signal processing of data using a computer by generating a symbolic map of the data using at least one wavelet transform, identifying target sequences in the symbolic map; and processing the data with reference to the target sequences to obtain waveform prognostic indicators

Abstract: A series of feed-forward applications are designed to synchronize heart/respiration/muscle and brain to produce a better quality of life endpoint. The applications will be used to treat anxiety, sleep disorders, arrhythmias and enhanced performance during athletic training.

Abstract: Detailed mapping of the magnetosphere is made possible by deploying hundreds of attitude-impervious microsatellites, in the form of small corner reflectors with piezoelectric mirror surfaces, from a single mother satellite at spacings of as little as 1 km in equatorial and elliptical orbits. The microsatellites carry magnetosensors whose output is transmitted to a ground station by modulating the reflection of a laser beam transmitted to the microsatellite by the ground station. Various refinements of the laser data link are also disclosed.
