Abstract: Example methods are provided to improve placement of an adaptor (210,220) to a mobile computing device (100) to measure a test strip (221) coupled to the adaptor (220) with a camera (104) and a screen (108) on a face of the mobile computing device (100). The method may include displaying a light area on a first portion of the screen (108). The first portion may be adjacent to the camera (104). The light area and the camera (104) may be aligned with a key area of the test strip (221) so that the camera (104) is configured to capture an image of the key area. The method may further include providing first guiding information for a user to place the adaptor (210,220) to the mobile computing device (100) according to a position of the light area on the screen (108).

Abstract: A method is provided. The method includes determining a first bump map indicative of a first set of positions of bumps. The method includes determining, based upon the first bump map, a first plurality of bump densities associated with a plurality of regions of the first bump map. The method includes smoothing the first plurality of bump densities to determine a second plurality of bump densities associated with the plurality of regions of the first bump map. The method includes determining, based upon the second plurality of bump densities, a second bump map indicative of the first set of positions of the bumps and a set of sizes of the bumps.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for maintaining a constant ejection pressure in a melt spinning process for converting a molten metal into a metal foil of a uniform thickness. The backpressure exerted against inert gas being injected into the bottom of a crucible containing molten metal is monitored. Any negative rate change in the backpressure is noted and the gas overpressure in the crucible is then increased to return the back-pressure to its original value. In another embodiment the gas flow rate of the inert gas is monitored. Any positive rate change in the flow rate is noted and the gas overpressure is then increased to return the flow rate of the gas back to normal. This maintains a constant ejection pressure of molten metal passing through the orifice of the crucible producing foil with a uniform thickness.

Abstract: This invention relates to a crown cap, and particularly, to an easy open type crown cap provided with an inclined tongue element and two non-intersecting score lines extending from two sides of said tongue element toward the internal side of the crown cap and being easily removed therefrom by hand without the need of using any auxiliary openers.
