Abstract:
A developer material holding apparatus holds a developer. A body holds a developer material and includes a first opening through which the developer material is discharged. A shutter is assembled to the body, and is movable either to an opening position where the developer material is discharged from the body or to a closing position where the developer material is not discharged from the body. The shutter includes a second opening such that when the shutter is at the opening position, the second opening is in alignment with the first opening. At least one of the first opening and the second opening is in the form a mesh including a plurality of openings.
Abstract:
Methods for heat treating glass sheets (13) are disclosed in which the sheets (13) are held in a vertical orientation in a treatment container (15) during the heat treatment. The container (15) includes a support system for the glass sheets (13) that comprises a bottom support (17), two side supports (19a, 19b), and a top support (21). The sheets (13) are slid into the container (15) without contact between their side edges (23a, 23b) and the side supports (19a, 19b). The top support (21) is then slid onto the tops of the sheets (13) without contacting the sheets' top edges (25). In certain embodiments, flushing air which has been HEPA filtered and pre-heated is passed through the container (15) during the heat treatment. Apparatus for practicing the methods of the invention are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for viewing and displaying 3D imagery. In one implementation, a method of displaying 3D imagery comprises receiving layout data comprising data representing a first camera, the first camera being non-editable; generating a first pair of a left camera and a right camera from the layout data based on the first camera, wherein the left camera and the right camera are editable; retrieving, from an external memory, streaming geometry data corresponding to the layout data; and generating the 3D imagery using the first pair of the left camera and the right camera and the streaming geometry data.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing textual content along with voice messages is presented. A caller at a calling station places a call to a callee at a receiving station. The call is placed through a connection, and the receiving station includes a callee's phone linked to a callee's computer. The call is recorded at the calling station to generate voice data. The call is then transcribed based on the voice data to generate the textual content of the call. The textual content is sent by the calling station to a server via the connection. The server then transfers the textual content, as well as voice data received by the server, to an electronic incoming mailbox of the callee as electronic mail.
Abstract:
A reactor system that can safely use general purpose electrical devices and unregulated surface temperature heat sources even though a flammable and/or combustible substance is being processed in the reactor or is within the processing area. The reactor system includes a reaction vessel and at least one process control device proximate the reaction vessel which is a possible ignition source for flammable and combustible materials. A shroud encloses the ignition source within a chamber and the chamber is provided with an inactive environment which is effective for preventing the ignition source from igniting any flammable or combustible substance that may enter the chamber.
Abstract:
This invention relates to compounds of formula (I) which are glyoxalase I inhibitors, pharmaceutical salts or compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compositions and compounds to treat various conditions alleviated by the inhibition of glyoxalase 1. Wherein X is N or CH. R2 is H, CF3; or optionally substituted C5-6 aryl, C3-7 cycloalkyl, C5-7 heterocyclyl. R3 is H; or optionally substituted C5-6 aryl, C3-7 cycloalkyl, C5-7 heterocyclyl. Alternatively R2 and R3 together form an optionally substituted C3-4alkylene group wherein L3 and L4 are single bonds thus forming a C5-6 ring fused with the aromatic ring to which L3 and L4 are attached. L3 and L4 are independently selected from a single bond, optionally substituted C1-4 alkylene, -L9YN(OH)C(═O)L10- and -L9C(═O)N(OH)YL10-, wherein L9 and L10 are independently selected from optionally substituted C1-4 alkylene, C5-6 arylene, C1-4 alkylene-C5-6arylene and a single bond, wherein Y is NH or a single bond.
Abstract:
One or more keywords associated with a domain are received. The performance of content selected based on the one or more keywords is evaluated against performance of content selected based on a automatic selection process. A determination is made based on the evaluation as to whether to utilize the automatic selection process or the one or more keywords for selecting content for the domain.

Abstract:
Several embodiments provide methods and apparatuses for use with node-based compositing to assist in the generation of a second eye or camera of a stereoscopic image. In one implementation, a method for use in 3D movie production comprises the steps: displaying composite nodes to a user, the composite nodes indicating how to composite a first plurality of rendered 2D elements into an output image, the rendered 2D elements and the plurality of composite nodes corresponding to a first eye of a 3D image; and receiving user input to add one or more transition nodes to the composite nodes, each transition node following a respective composite node and to be used for regeneration of one or more elements corresponding to the respective composite node, wherein the composite nodes and the one or more transition nodes are to be used to direct generation of a second eye of the 3D image.
