Abstract: The invention relates to a capacity limiting assembly that provides substantially irreversible alteration of a box magazine to limit its cartridge capacity wherein the box magazine comprises a magazine housing having a vertical dimension YM, a magazine spring having at least 1 coil, and a follower. The assembly includes a limiter body and a lock plate. The limiter body has a top edge engageable with a bottom surface of the follower that is operatively associated with a top of the magazine spring extending into the cartridge reservoir and is configured to be disposed substantially within the at least one coil of the magazine spring. The limiter has a vertical dimension YL that is less than the vertical dimension YM of the magazine housing, and a limiter bottom edge that is engageable to a lock plate.

Abstract: An integrated credential-based scalable communication system is disclosed providing remote access to a physical site. The system includes a dashboard in electronic communication with a server. The server is configured to receive an access request from a remote user, assign the remote user a credential having an access profile, and transmit an authorization request to the dashboard which displays it for approval by an authorizing agent. The server is configured to receive a live stream from the dashboard module, parse the live stream based on the access profile, and, upon approval by the authorizing agent, transmit a parsed portion of the live stream to the remote user. The dashboard is configured for the authorizing agent to independently modify the access profile and credential, and terminate the live stream. The dashboard includes a switch that prevents the live stream from being transmitted by the dashboard to the server.

Abstract: In one example, a method includes controlling a gloss channel of a color measurement apparatus to measure a surface gloss of a color sample to generate a gloss value for the color sample, controlling a color channel of the color measurement apparatus to measure a reflectance spectrum of the color sample to generate a first plurality of reflectance values for the color sample under a first measurement geometry, and converting the first plurality of reflectance values to a second plurality of reflectance values representing the reflectance spectrum of the color sample under a second measurement geometry, different from the first measurement geometry, wherein the converting utilizes an adjustment that is a function of the gloss value.

Abstract: The present specification discloses a method of augmenting or enhancing a chin of an individual comprising excising the left and right anterior mental fibrous condensation anteriorly and elevating the left and right medial mandibular and mandibulocutaneous ligaments to create an extended subperiosteal pocket as well as mandibular implants designed to be implanted using such methods.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method is disclosed for converging on an acceptable integrated circuit design for an integrated circuit. The method can include selecting a path, determining if the path has a timing deficiency, segmenting the path into path segments and allocating the timing deficiency across the segments according to attributes of the path segments. Segments can have attributes such as a design freeze when the design is mature or “optimum.” Allocating can include allocating the timing deficiency across path segments according to attributes such as the proportion of the length of a segmented path to the overall path length. Allocating can include allocating the timing deficiency to path segments based on attributes provided as user input.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to integrated circuit design, and more particularly to systems and methods for providing power optimization in a hierarchical netlist. A method includes generating a hierarchical netlist of the design, wherein the design includes a plurality of macros. The method also includes determining the timing slack of each path of the design. For each pin of each one of the plurality of macros, the method includes: determining the worst timing path; determining the slack value of the worst timing path; determining the subset of macros of the plurality of macros associated with the worst timing path; determining an apportionment parameter for each one of the subset of macros; determining a distribution of the slack amongst the subset of macros based upon the respective apportionment parameters; and adjusting timing assertions for each one of the subset of macros based upon the distribution of the slack.
