The plastic container includes a hollow body of plastic material having a lower supporting base, a sidewall extending upwardly from the lower base and an upper neck portion extending upwardly from the sidewall with an opening therein. The sidewall includes at least one panel having a central region and an outer boundary, with the outer boundary being depressed with respect to the central region.

An adjustable, removable, interlocking iliac crest belt for a body brace is disclosed. The belt can be secured to the inside of a posterior portion of the body brace, and is secured about the patient's waist and upper hip region, engaging the iliac crests of the patient and providing additional pressure and stabilization force. Adjustable hook and loop fastening elements can be used to fasten the iliac crest belt. The belt is intended for use in body braces of the type for immobilizing or stabilizing a patient's spine in a post-surgical therapeutic application, or for treating abnormal spinal curvature, which brace may include body-conforming front and back shell elements molded from plastic, and adjustable strap elements affixed thereto for attaching the shells together around the torso of the patient with a selected compressive force.

The apparatus is propelled or towed in a longitudinal direction over a field and the apparatus components engage the field surface to inject fluid beneath the field surface. Generally, the apparatus is a frame and at least one series of fluid distribution discs rotationally coupled at end portions of an arm assemblies pivotally suspended from the frame. The fluid distribution discs include a plurality of fluid distribution channels that radiate from the fluid distribution disc origin to conically shaped tines connected at the perimeter of the fluid distribution disc. The fluid distribution channels are aligned with similar channels within a bushing securable to the fluid distribution disc radial portion. A stationary plate or disc valve has a disc valve fluid channel in a disc valve radial surface, which is in contact with the rotating bushing radial surface resulting in a periodic alignment between the disc valve fluid channel and each of the bushing channels. Fluid is pumped to a fluid port in a hub having a fluid port in fluid communication with the disc valve fluid channel. As the tines of the fluid distribution disc penetrate the field surface, fluid is channeled through the disc valve into the fluid distribution disc channels and the tines.

An ESD protection circuit (201) is for use with a high-voltage tolerant I/O circuit in an IC. This is accomplished by providing a small ESD diode (217) from the I/O pad to a relatively small boosted voltage bus (BOOST BUS). The BOOST BUS is used to power a trigger circuit (203). This path has very little current flow during an ESD event due to minimal current dissipation in the trigger circuit. There is a diode drop but only very little IR voltage drop from the I/O pad to the trigger circuit (203). The trigger circuit (203) controls relatively large cascoded clamp NMOSFETs (207, 209). The net result is that a gate-to-source voltage (VGS) of both of the clamp NMOSFETs is increased thus increasing the conductivity of the cascoded clamp NMOSFETs (207, 209). This reduces the on-resistance of each of the NMOSFETS (207, 209), thereby improving the ESD performance, and reducing the layout area required to implement robust ESD protection circuits.

A method of image reconstruction comprising: obtaining a Helmholtz reciprocal pair of images of an object, the images comprising a first image and a corresponding reciprocal image; determining an imaging geometry associated with the obtaining; selecting a plurality of points in the first image and identifying corresponding candidate points in the corresponding reciprocal image; matching a selected point of the plurality of points and a candidate point of the corresponding candidate points. A method of image registration with an object comprising: obtaining a Helmholtz reciprocal pair of images of an object, the Helmholtz reciprocal pair of images comprising a first image and a corresponding reciprocal image; estimating a pose for the object; predicting an estimated image corresponding to the pose and one image of the reciprocal pair of images; comparing the estimated image with a corresponding actual image from the pair of images; and refining the estimating a pose based on the comparing.
摘要:
A Vital Text Analytics System (VTAS), incorporating a repository of enterprise terms or concepts, is one that improves the readability and fidelity of technical specifications, instructions, training manuals requirements engineering documents and other related engineering documents, typically from a single organization or workgroup. The system stresses ontological analysis of a corpus of related documents, and applies a suite of computational tools that supports the identification and assessment of risk in evaluating the content of the documents, as well as providing statistical measures reflecting the frequency and severity of document features that threaten comprehension.

An adapter includes an interface module that receives signals from a first sensor that indicate a first fill status of a holding tank. A control module of the adapter generates a control signal based on the first fill status. The toilet is at least partially controlled by a toilet control module that restricts a flush capability of the toilet based on the control signal. An isolation module of the adapter isolates the interface module and the control module from at least one of voltage and current fluctuations that are external to the adapter.
