Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for use in correcting flicker of a display (e.g., an LCD display). For example, correction may employ the insertion of at least one transition data frame between display data frames for use in displaying a transition image by pixel elements of the display such that a user perceives display of a constant average luminance by the pixel elements.

Abstract: Radar display methods and systems include a display processing apparatus that includes a central processing unit and a programmable graphics processing unit. A rendering function program executable by the programmable graphics processing unit under control of the central processing unit generates a plurality of sequential display image frames for use in displaying at least a radar image on a display (e.g., by applying a decaying function to an accumulated radar history image frame and updating the accumulated radar history image frame).

Abstract: An exercise equipment apparatus for isolating lower back muscles. The apparatus or device comprises main tubular support posts, secondary tubular support posts, and support feet for providing the foundation of the device. Inner tubular extensions and setting pins are used to adjust the height and length of the device to accommodate the particular size and the proper positioning of the user for the angle of strengthening desired. A removeable torso support is releaseably attached or coupled to one of the main tubular support posts. An angular setting guide is used to select or set the desired angle of use and an articulating lever attached to the removeable torso support provides an arm for stopping or setting the removeable torso support at the selected angle of use by the user.

Abstract: A radar scan conversion protocol is defined to communicate radar data from application servers to thin clients with reduced network bandwidth requirements. The radar scan conversion protocol may be implemented as an extension to existing thin client protocols. The system is also capable of transmitting audio and video data through the application servers to the thin clients using appropriate compressed formats in order to minimize network bandwidth requirements.

Abstract: A cross elastomer mount comprising a body composed of an elastomer and having a plurality of legs, a first platform for supporting a first member and a second platform for supporting a second member, a plurality of rigid platform arms pivotally attached to the platforms, and a plurality of hinges pivotally attaching the rigid platform arms to the legs of the cross elastomer mount whereby the plurality of legs bow or arc under a shock and vibration force to allow the cross elastomer mount to attenuated the forces while providing a tension and shearing resistance to the shocks and vibrations.

Abstract: An improved shock isolation system having an operator platform wherein an operator chair is interposed as a physical barrier between the operator's graphic terminal and the processing equipment that controls the graphic terminal so that the processing equipment is maintained in a normally non-operator contactable position by interpositioning an operator's chair therebetween thereby minimizing the opportunity of the operator being injured by being accidentally thrown in to the processing equipment.

Abstract: A barrel elastomer mount having a first hollow frustum composed of an elastomer and having a first end and a second end with the first end of the first hollow frustum having an interior diameter larger than an external diameter of the second end of the first hollow frustum; and a second hollow frustum composed of an elastomer having a first end and a second end with the first end of the second hollow frustum having an interior diameter larger than an external diameter of the second end of the second hollow frustum. The first hollow frustum is securely attached to the second hollow frustum at the first end of the first hollow frustum and at the first end of the second hollow frustum creating an enclosed cavity whereby the walls of the elastomer mount provide tension and shear resistance to shock and vibrational forces as well as to compressive static forces.
