Abstract: Images of scanned documents are processed to identify an amount for each document. At least one document has two possible amounts with each amount having a different confidence level associated therewith. A provided total amount is balanced to a determined total amount by resolving a permutation of the available amounts from the images that matches the provided total amount.

Abstract: An inflator comprises a body, a first drive member, and a second drive member. The body defines a reservoir that is configured to hold fluid and includes an outlet. The first drive member is operable to move through the reservoir to drive fluid from the reservoir through the outlet. The second drive member is engaged with the first drive member. The second drive member is movable relative to the body through a first range of motion to actuate the first drive member to drive fluid through the outlet at a first rate. The second drive member is movable relative to the body through a second range of motion following the first range of motion. The first drive member is configured to either drive fluid through the outlet at a second rate or not drive fluid through the outlet as the second drive member moves through the second range of motion.

Abstract: This invention provides an electrolyte salt for use in an electrodeposition process for depositing Zirconium metal on a thin foil substrate. The prior art electrochemical process causes a reaction between a uranium substrate and ZrF4 species in the electrolyte that causes the formation of UFx at the substrate surface that prevents the formation of a dense uniform zirconium coating. This problem is solved by using an electrolyte salt in an electrodeposition process consisting of lithium fluoride (LiF) in a concentration ranging between about 11.5 molar percent and about 61 molar percent and one or more salts selected from the group consisting of sodium fluoride (NaF), potassium fluoride (KF), cesium fluoride (CsF), or cesium chloride (CsCL). Zirconium is added to the electrolyte salt through an addition of zirconium fluoride (ZrF4) in the range of about 1 to about 5 mass percent (w/w %). The Zr coating is of at least 98% pure Zr with a density of at least 98%.

The additional custom data is configured to be interpreted by handlers corresponding to the integration points. The system receives content produced by the producer application. The producer application produces the content based upon the request and the additional custom data. The system displays the received content to appear as an integrated whole with other content on a page.

Abstract: A guide member system includes a guide member, a light source, and a detector. The guide member comprises at least one illumination fiber. The at least one illumination fiber distally transmits the light projected by the light source from the proximal end of the guide member to the distal end of the guide member. The distal end of the guide member is projects the distally transmitted light. The distal end of the guide member receives light projected from the distal end of the guide member and reflected back toward the distal end of the guide member. The at least one illumination fiber proximally transmits the reflected light from the distal end of the guide member to the proximal end of the guide member. The proximal end of the guide member projects the proximally transmitted light toward the detector. The detector detects the proximally transmitted light.

Abstract: A circuit includes a light source, a sensor, and a switch. The sensor measures output of the light source and provides an electrical signal to a feedback loop that is indicative of the measured output of the light source. The switch is positioned in the feedback loop and is movable between a first position and a second position depending upon whether the feedback loop is operating in a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation. During the first mode of operation the output of the feedback loop adjusts at least one operating parameter of the light source responsive to the electrical signal. During the second mode of operation the output of the feedback loop does not adjust the at least one operating parameter of the light source responsive to the electrical signal.
