Abstract:
An improved automatic tape cutter/sticker is disclosed. A first shell body has disposed thereon a compressible tube having a roll of tape disposed thereon so as to prohibit free wheeling of the tape. The first shell body is disposed within a second shell body having disposed therebetween a rotary cutting knife. Upon movement of the first shell body with respect to the second shell body, a rotary cutting knife is moved out of alignment so that the tape may be payed out. Upon removal of force from the first shell body, the rotary cutting knife rotates in the opposite direction thereby cutting the tape. Slots are provided in the first shell body to enable it to be quickly urged downwards while also allowing for closer presentation of the tape to an outlet slot in the second shell body.
Abstract:
A method for manipulating vertex positions of one or more simulated hair strands based on user input while preserving shape details of the one or more simulated hair strands. The method comprises receiving a displacement vector and a region as input and identifying first consecutive groups of vertices of a first simulated hair strand within the region. For each first consecutive group of vertices within the region, the method comprises finding the average vertex position, determining the closest vertex of the consecutive group of vertices to the average vertex position, determining a new positional constraint based on the closest vertex and the displacement vector and determining new vertex positions for the first simulated hair strand by running a constraint enforcement process constrained by the new positional constraint for each consecutive group of vertices and one or more shape-preserving constraints.
Abstract:
A fencing assembly has two rails, multiple balusters, and multiple positioning assemblies. The two rails are disposed at a spaced interval, and each rail is hollow. Each one of the balusters is hollow and has two ends, wherein each one of the two ends is detachably mounted with a respective one of the two rails. Each one of the positioning assemblies is mounted with a respective one of the two rails and a respective one of the balusters, and has a positioning component and an anti-slip sheath. The positioning component is mounted with the corresponding rail, and has at least one stopping flange protruding radially. The anti-slip sheath is inserted into an end of the corresponding baluster and is sheathed on the positioning component, and at least part of the stopping flange abuts on an inner surface of the anti-slip sheath.

Abstract:
A golf club head has a body, a strike panel, and at least one counterweight structure. The body has a sole, a crown located above the sole, a side wall, and a hosel formed on the crown. The side wall is connected to the sole and the crown. The strike panel is mounted on the body, and is located between and connected to the sole and the crown. The strike panel, the side wall, the sole, and the crown enclose an inner space of the hollow body. The at least one counterweight structure is mounted on an outer surface of the side wall and has multiple meshed recesses disposed at spaced intervals. The at least one counterweight structure is mounted on the side wall of the body to adjust a position of a center of gravity of the golf club head.
Abstract:
An efficient and cost-effective method for usage of emulation machine is disclosed, in which a new concept and use model called debug station is described. The debug station methodology lets people run emulation using a machine from one vendor, and debug designs using a machine from another vendor, so long as these machines meet certain criteria. The methodology and its associated hardware hence are called a ‘platform neutral debug station.’ The debug station methodology breaks loose usage of emulation machines, where people can choose the best machine for running a design, and the best machine for debugging, and they do not need to be the same. Unlike the past, where people needed to run emulation and debug a design using same emulator from beginning to the end, the mix-and-match method described herein allows users to use emulators in the most efficient way, and often most cost effective too.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a pressure-sensitive adhesive matrix patch device for treatment or prevention of fungal toenails or fingernails or foot infections comprising an antifungal agent or two or more antifungals in combination and adhesively secured to a dorsal site of an infected palm or foot, rather than an area of infection and surrounding skin. A method for the transdermal treatment or prevention of fungal toenails or fingernails or foot infections with an antifungal agent is also disclosed, the method comprising adhesively securing to a dorsal site of an infected palm or foot a pressure-sensitive adhesive matrix patch device for a time sufficient to deliver an effective amount of the antifungal agent to an area of infection.
