摘要:
A landscaping material cleaning technique involves the application of a vacuum cleaner attachment. This attachment defines a conduit extending from a suction inlet to a suction outlet. The suction outlet is sized and shaped to connect to a vacuum cleaner in fluid communication therewith. The attachment further includes a number of teeth extending away from the inlet and optionally a grating that extends across the conduit to define a number of apertures circumscribed by a conduit margin. These apertures are sized and shaped to selectively separate fine particulate debris from a coarser landscaping medium when suction is applied through the conduit. The teeth project out of one end of the conduit to serve as a rake for grooming the coarser medium as the particulate debris is separated from it by suction applied through the conduit with a vacuum cleaner.

Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating the management of wireless computer network environments and the detection of rogue and other devices that may affect the performance and/or security of the wireless computer network. The present invention enables accurate and cost effective WLAN airspace mapping. In one embodiment, the present invention allows any conforming access point the ability to routinely scan its airspace, collect data on all operating frequencies and report this information back to a management platform. In one embodiment, the management and reporting functionality described herein uses a standards-based vehicle, such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In one embodiment, the present invention allows for detection of all wireless traffic within or affecting an enterprise's computer network environment, picking up all active access points (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure) and all wireless clients data regardless of SSID, channel, or security settings. The management platform, according to an embodiment of the present invention, analyzes information received from the access points under management to detect and report the state of the computer network environment. In one embodiment, the present invention facilitates isolation of rogue wireless devices affecting the computer network environment and effective decision-making as to management of the detected device. The present invention also allows network administrators to optimize the configuration of the wireless network environment for performance and security.

An electronic kitchen faucet capable of dispensing a measured, operator selectable quantity of hot or cold liquid into a container with a flow rate suitable to prevent splashing or loss of the ensuing mixture while maintaining a rapid flow rate to quickly fill larger containers. The dispensing faucet can be used for measuring liquids required for preparing recipes, making instant beverages, or in the preparation of pre-packaged foods. The dispensing faucet apparatus may be retrofitted to an existing faucet. The invention may utilize the liquid flow sensor to automatically control a kitchen garbage disposal.

Deinterlacing is applied to a composite video image that includes alternating even and odd rows of pixels. The even rows form a first image; the odd rows, a second image; these are recorded at different times, introducing a possibility of motion artifact. A first average horizontal intensity difference is computed between the first image and the second image. The first image is offset by one pixel in each horizontal direction to form a horizontally offset image, and another average horizontal intensity difference is computed. A minimum average intensity difference is determined from a comparison of the average horizontal intensity differences. The first image is shifted in a horizontal direction determined to achieve the minimum average horizontal intensity difference, and the horizontally shifted first image is combined with the second image to form an improved composite image. An analogous series of steps is carried out in a vertical direction.

A system for protecting a sector of tissue from exposure to surgically directed radiation includes a processor and an input device, a camera, and an output screen in electronic communication with the processor. A software resident on the processor receives camera data containing an image of a region of tissue, which includes at least a portion of a predetermined area desired to receive therapeutic radiation. The software also routes the image for display superimposes thereon first indicia indicative of the predetermined area. Data are received on a location of a sector of the tissue desired to be protected from the radiation and for superimposing on the displayed image second indicia indicative of the sector. In a specific embodiment the tissue is an eye and the predetermined area is at least a portion of the cornea.

The present invention comprises a size reducing machine with a rotor having a plurality of hammers arranged to size reduce waste material upon impact. The rotor is contained with a tub that includes a tub floor for feeding the waste material toward the rotor. Located proximate to the tub floor is a gator plate with a serrated edge for initial material for sizing of the waste material.

A hammer tip is provided with a centrally located bolt hole for receipt of at least one bolt for releasable securement to a hammer. The hammer tip includes a front face having a working edge, and a back with two opposing shoulder sections with a recessed section therebetween. The hammer includes a support shoulder for receipt of the bottom of the hammer tip. Together, the shoulder sections, the recess formed between, and the support shoulder create a saddle-back for releasable integration with the hammer.
