摘要： A system and method are provided for detecting extraneous material, often referred to as scarf, in the interior of a tubular steel product. The system is arranged to illuminate one end of the tube as it passes through the field of view of an imaging system, preferably a Smart Camera. The camera obtains images and processes the images to determine if scarf is present in the interior of the tube. Preferably a processor determines the percentage of dark pixels in the interior of the tube as detected in the image and if a predetermined threshold is met or exceeded, the tube fails. A blob sensor is also preferably used to avoid false positives where the dark pixels do not have a certain amount of connectivity.

摘要： Systems and methods provide management of a program of correctional supervision via a stored-value card. Through a stored-value card issued to a criminal offender in a program of correctional supervision, the offender's transactions are compared to a rule set for the program, and it is determined whether an alert condition has occurred as a result of the transaction. Monies owed by the criminal offender may be collected using the card and the stored-value card provides a criminal offender a card for purchases and other transactions usually unavailable to the unbanked.

摘要： Ball retrievers are an essential tool used to assist in the recovery of a ball from difficult or hazard areas such as ponds, mud, tall grasses or other hard to reach areas. In one embodiment a tapered fixed length handle having a hand grip on the first end and a ball retriever scoop attached to the opposing second end. The ball retriever scoop is formed from a single length of hard wire and incorporates a rim with an open front section having downward bends and mirroring curvilinear support elements substantially under the rim for supporting and holding the ball within a defined area which includes a portion of the rims inside diameter. The curvilinear supports transition into angled wire ends for attachment to a handle directly or indirectly with a coupler.

摘要： A card-issuing financial institution provides a hybrid card for extending and building credit. The issued hybrid card has credit and debit functionality, and an account linked to the hybrid card to hold cardholder funds. The account provides security and a credit limit for extensions of credit and direct access to funds for cash withdrawals and debit transactions. Due balances are paid by electronically debiting the linked account for credit extended. Positive credit information is reported to credit bureaus.

摘要： A system method of monitoring flatness of a material. A beam of coherent light is projected on to a surface of the material to provide a line on the surface. An image of the line on the surface is obtained, and the image is used to determine a deviation of the line from a predetermined configuration. The deviation corresponds to an irregular pattern or unevenness of the material.
