Abstract: A method includes receiving from a first detection system, an image of a license plate, applying an optical recognition function to characters of the license plate, and assigning a confidence value to each of the characters. The method further includes, in response to determining that the confidence value for a particular character is below a threshold, sending an image of the character to a gamified human reviewer application, receiving from the gamified human reviewer application, a human response indicative of a characteristic of the character, and updating the optical recognition function based on the characteristic of the character.

Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted pyrazolyl derivatives, compositions comprising such, intermediates, methods of making substituted pyrazolyl derivatives, and methods for treating cancer, inflammation, and inflammation-associated disorders, such as arthritis.

Abstract: A contrabassoon has a body, a tuning slide, a bocal pipe and a novel register system. The body, tuning slide and bocal pipe form a tube having a continuous bore. The register system comprises 5 vent holes formed in the tube. Key mechanisms for selectively opening and closing the vent holes are described. The contrabassoon further comprises linkage to selectively operate a low E vent pad, and an alternative C-sharp tone hole, with accompanying key mechanism.

Abstract: Novel compounds which contain a thrombin catalytic-site inhibitor coupled with an anion binding exosite associating moiety via an RGD-X bridging sequence are trifunctional anticoagulants useful in treating venous or arterial thrombotic conditions.

Abstract: Antagonists of neurokinin A which are novel cyclic hexapeptide and octapeptide compounds are described. The antagonism is confirmed using conventional competitive binding and biochemical assays as well as conventional physiological tests and the use of these derivatives in a variety of conditions in which neurokinin A is implicated is also described.

Abstract: An apparatus for remotely calcining a slurry or solution feed stream of toxic or hazardous material, such as ammonium diurante slurry or uranyl nitrate solution, is disclosed. The calcining apparatus includes a vertical substantially cylindrical inner shell disposed in a vertical substantially cylindrical outer shell, in which inner shell is disposed a fluidized bed comprising the feed stream material to be calcined and spherical beads to aid in heat transfer. Extending through the outer and inner shells is a feed nozzle for delivering feed material or a cleaning chemical to the beads. Disposed in and extending across the lower portion of the inner shell and upstream of the fluidized bed is a support member for supporting the fluidized bed, the support member having uniform slots for directing uniform gas flow to the fluidized bed from a fluidizing gas orifice disposed upstream of the support member.

Abstract: The invention relates to pin and socket joints for use in the steering and suspension systems of automobiles. The head of the pin is housed in a socket having an aperture through which the pin extends, the aperture being sealed by an annular boot having peripheral portions sealing against the pin and socket respectively.One of the peripheral portions is engaged in a groove in the pin or socket and the said one peripheral portion has interior passageways leading from the interior of the boot to the base of the groove and exterior passageways leading from the base of the groove to the exterior of the boot.These passageways facilitate the rapid escape of grease from the boot during excessive power filling of grease into the joint so that the boot is not disengaged from the groove.
