The methods further include illuminating and capturing one or more images of the sample, extracting useful features from one or more images and thereafter adjusting the sample preparation steps. Further methods are disclosed for capturing sequences of images, programmatically rotating images, and displaying sequences of images with similar rotation angles. Further methods include extracting useful features from sequences of images that may change with respect to time as ion beam preparation continues.

Abstract: Riser apparatuses and systems for vehicle transportation are disclosed. Embodiments include a riser with a top surface configured to receive a vehicle. The riser has a front end and a back end opposite the front end. The apparatus is configured such that rotating a lift mechanism causes a front end of the riser to move both in a first horizontal direction and in a first vertical direction to a first raised position such that the front end of the riser is supported by at least one rotatable leg. Rotating the lift mechanism also causes a back end of the riser to move in the first horizontal direction, and causes a latch to engage a carrier rod to secure the riser in the first raised position.

Abstract: Provided are novel interconnect wire network assemblies and methods of fabricating thereof. An assembly may include conductive portions/individual wires that, in certain embodiments, are substantially parallel to each other. The assembly also includes two or more carrier films (i.e., the front side and back side films) attached to opposite sides of the wires. The films are typically attached along the wire ends. The films are made from electrically insulating materials and at least the front side film is substantially transparent. The front side film is used to attach the wires to a photovoltaic surface of one cell, while the back side film is used for attachment to a substrate surface of another cell. These attachments electrically interconnect the two cells in series. In certain embodiments, one or both carrier films extend beyond two end wires and form insulated portions that allow much closer arrangements of the cells in a module.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are generally directed to a system for remotely monitoring utilization of geographically distributed point-of-sale terminals and autonomously activating a quantity of point-of-sale terminals based on the utilization.

Abstract: The present invention provides a hand tool for enabling an individual to change the height of a traffic intersection light. The hand tool comprises a pair of elongated members with a handle end, jaw end, and a pivot joint, whereby the elongated members are hingedly connected. One jaw member has a distal curved pointed end and the other jaw member has an upper flat end. In use, the curved pointed jaw member is inserted into a height adjuster device to unlock it from a cable. Once unlocked, a technician can selectively reposition an attached traffic intersection light. The hand tool keeps the height adjuster device unlocked because the jaws are spring biased away from each other. Overall, the device that can assist with altering the height of a traffic light.
