Abstract:
A rack suitable for loading a kayak or other small watercraft onto and off of the bed of a pickup truck, trailer or other vehicle, and into and out of a body of water. The rack has two ladder-like structures, each having two sides, two or more ribs connecting the two sides, and two pipes mounted on the ribs and running lengthwise. Two extension tubes are mountable parallel to each other to extend the two pipes away from the rack. Other features that may be part of a rack system include a winch, tie-downs, extension rods with pulleys, padded braces, support rods which may have rollers, and the like.
Abstract:
A system and method for tracking the movement of a recording device to form a composite image is provided. The system has a a user device with a sensor array capturing motion data and velocity vector data of the recording device when the recording device is in motion, an attachment member for coupling the user device to the motion capturing device, and a server with program modules. The program modules described are a calibration module for calibrating a position of the user device relative to a position of a lens of the recording device, a recorder module for receiving the motion data and velocity vector data from the sensor array; and a conversion module for combining the position of the user device relative to the lens of the recording device, and the motion data and velocity vector data and transforming the data into a file that is usable by a compositing suite, a three-dimensional application, or both.
Abstract:
A compound having the formula (I) R1-COOH wherein R1 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having a C7-11 backbone, optionally branched with a C1-6 alkyl group at any C position in the backbone, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, amide or ester thereof, wherein the backbone of the alkyl or alkenyl group, and/or the branched alkyl groups, are optionally interrupted by one or more heteroatoms, provided that when R1 is an alkyl group having a C7 backbone, the branching does not consist only of a hexyl group at the a carbon of R1, or only of a methyl group at the γ carbon of R1, or of only single methyl groups at both the β and ω−1 carbons of R1, and provided that when R1 is an alkyl group having a C8 or C11 backbone, the branching does not consist only of a propyl group at the a carbon of R1, for use in the treatment or prevention of a disease or a biomedical condition selected from seizure-related disorders, bipolar disorders, mania, depression, migraine, attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, latent HIV infection, Alzheimer's disease, chorea, schizophrenia, ischemia, cancer and fatal blood loss.
Abstract:
A system and method of filtering search results is provided. Certain embodiments provide an improved user experience in filtering large sets of data in a computer system through the use of multidimensional associative arrays which allow results to be filtered within a web interface without needing additional calls to web server or online database.
Abstract:
A tool and method is provided to graphically correlate process and test data with specific chips on a multi-project wafer. The tool and method is configured and implemented to select certain sites and export these sites to an industry standard map that can be used in a variety of chip picking or test tools. In one embodiment, the method includes importing a wafer floor plan with chips of different design parameters and importing manufacturing logistical information of the chips. The method further includes graphically rendering each chip on the wafer to scale within a unit cell using the imported wafer floor plan and the manufacturing logistical information.
Abstract:
A method and system for generating a visual key enables improved security and user-friendliness in defining a humanly readable visual code of characters. The method includes generating a random or pseudo random first arrangement of a plurality of symbols. An analysis is then conducted of the first arrangement to determine that no character of a predetermined character set is defined by the first arrangement. Next, an analysis is conducted of the first arrangement to determine that characters of the predetermined character set can be generated when the first arrangement is aligned with a second arrangement of a plurality of the symbols. A determination is then made, based on the above analyses, that the first arrangement is acceptable as a visual key.
Abstract:
A method and device for visual code transaction verification enables more secure electronic transactions. The method includes generating a window having a first pattern of elongated segments. A second pattern of elongated segments is then generated, wherein a dynamic visual code is produced when the window and the first pattern of elongated segments are superimposed with the second pattern of elongated segments. A transaction with a user is then verified by matching the dynamic visual code with a code string entered by the user.

Abstract:
A method for obtaining data including scanning an object using a multi-energy computed tomography (MECT) system to obtain data to generate an anatomical image, and decomposing the obtained data to generate a first density image representative of bone material and a second density image representative of soft-tissue. The method further includes segmenting at least one of the first density image and the second density image, and volume rendering the second density image.
