Abstract:
A system and method of record matching using regular expressions and finite state representations. In this manner, the time (or computational effort) involved in record matching is reduced.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for calibration of a projection system, comprising projecting visible and non-visible images on at least one image plane, detecting said non-visible images projected on the image plane, and calibrating projection of the visible images using the non-visible images. The visible and non-visible images are simultaneously projected and the non-visible images are continually monitored for automatic calibration of composite displays, without taking the projection system off-line. In addition, calibration can be maintained through continuous automatic adjustment using invisible calibration patterns, even if the system is disturbed while it is operating.
Abstract:
An essential oil composition comprising at least two essential oil from Group A which includes mint and spice essential oils and at least one essential oil from Group B which includes citrus essential oils. This essential oil composition can effectively kill and remove oral microbials which are correlated to the formation of biofilm in the oral cavity. This essential oil composition can be combined with a variety of oral carriers and actives.
Abstract:
Stabilized dry bacterial compositions comprising greater than 10% dried bacterial concentrate having a concentration of bacteria of at least 1×108 cfu/g are provided. The compositions have improved stability. Also provided are packaged bacterial compositions, unit-dose compositions and methods of manufacturing the compositions provided herein.
Abstract:
An automatic sliding door cable mechanism with a take up guide member (46) mounted in a drum (14) for taking up slack of a cable during installation of the cable. A second drum (16) has an elliptical profile drum helix (96) for increasing durability of the operating cable for the automatic door.

Abstract:
A method, system and apparatus for determining locations in a projected image are provided. The apparatus comprises a light sensor; a body comprising the light sensor, the body enabled to position the light sensor proximal to a screen to detect light from a projector; a communication interface for communicating with a projector system comprising at least the projector; and, a processor enabled to transmit a request to the projector system to project a structured light pattern using the projector; and when at least one pixel in the structured light pattern projected by the projector is detected at the light sensor, transmit a detection indication to the projector system to communicate detection of the at least one pixel.

Abstract:
An apparatus (10) for forming a single extrudable food stream such as a cooked cereal dough into a plurality of differently colored and/or flavored dough streams is disclosed including an extruder (12) having screw augers (15) for advancing a plastic food mass, a head or manifold (118) for dividing the plastic food mass into a plurality of substreams each in turn in fluid communication with a plurality of sub-divided dough passageways, and a die head (30) having a plurality of die ports (40). Each subpassage is separately supplied an additive and has disposed therein a multiplicity of in-line static mixer elements (59) to admix the additive into the substreams of the plastic food mass before passage through the die ports (40). In a preferred form, first and second substreams are intermixed in a non-homogenous manner before reaching the exit ports (40). The extrudates are severed into individual pieces (158) by a rotary cutter (36).
