Abstract:
A solar panel installation tool, with coarse and fine position adjustment. The tool fits on a mounting rail installed on a roof, and supports the solar panel along its bottom side. A panel support bracket on the tool is adjusted to align the solar panel with the roof edge. The tool can be removed after the solar panel is bolted into place on the rack.
Abstract:
A method of generating a magnetic resonance (MR) image of a tissue includes acquiring MR signals at undersampled q-space encoding locations for a plurality of q-space locations that is less than an entirety of the q-space locations sampled at the Nyquist rate, wherein the acquired signal at the q-space locations represents the three-dimensional displacement distribution of the spins in the imaging voxel, synthesizing the MR signal for the entirety of q-space encodings using a compressed sensing technique for a portion of q-space locations at which MR data was not acquired, combining the acquired MR signals at q-space encodings and the synthesized MR signals at q-space encodings to generate a set of MR signals at q-space encodings that are evenly distributed in q-space, using the set of MR signals at q-space encodings to generate a function that represents a displacement probability distribution function of the set of spins in the imaging voxel, and generating an image of the tissue based on at least a portion of the generated function. A system and computer readable medium are also described herein.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method is disclosed that includes instructing a human player to perform a plurality of different actions in a determined order with a physical basketball, including actions of bouncing the physical basketball, and obtaining, with one or more electronic sensors, data that characterizes motion of the physical basketball being handled by the human player who is performing the instructed actions at a location. The method also includes communicating the data from the sensors to a console videogame system that is proximate to the location, and graphically representing, in a videogame displayed on a display device, performance by the human player, the performance being affected by the captured data, the representation of performance by the human player being compared against a standard of performance.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented athletic performance analysis method includes obtaining, at a computer system, first motion data generated by a test subject moving a test ball containing motion sensors through a predetermined exercise; analyzing in the first motion data, with the computer system, the data from the inertial sensors; and providing to a remote computer at a location of the subject a report regarding the first motion data, the report reflecting a comparison of the first motion data with corresponding motion data of other users who have performed the predetermined exercise.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a geosynthetic wicking fabric for transporting water from beneath pavement structures to reduce or prevent damaged caused by frost heave and thaw. Further, the present invention is directed to a wicking drainage system employing the wicking fabric.
Abstract:

The present invention also provides novel antibody compositions that exhibit improved chemical and/or physical stability. Also provided are methods of treating diseases and conditions with compositions of human IgG2 antibodies, including inflammatory diseases and neoplasia disorders.
Abstract:
Preparation of halogenide-free Platinum(II)acetylacetonate [Pt(acac)2] Platinum(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate [Pt(hfac)2], Platinum(II) trifluoroacetylacetonate [Pt(tfac)2] or Platinum(II)-alkylsubstituted acetylacetonates by the reaction of a halogen free platinum (IV) oxo- or hydroxo-compound, such as PtO2.nH2O (n being an integer from 1 to 4) or H2Pt(OH)6 or Na2Pt(OH)6 or K2Pt(OH)6, with a reducing agent in aqueous solution in the presence of a stoichiometric or higher amount of acetylacetone (acac), potassium acetylacetoante (Kacac) sodium acetylacetonate (Naacac), hexafluoroacetylacetone (hfac), trifluoroacetylacetone (tfac) or alkyl substituted acetylacetones or their salts and an H+ donor.
Abstract:
A piano tablature includes tab keys indicating a new measure where the tab keys display a standard piano keyboard. Middle C on a piano keyboard is highlighted. A tab measure includes note indicators for a selected song. The first beat of a tab measure is indicated by the bottom horizontal line of the tab header and each horizontal line of the tab measure below the bottom horizontal line represents a new beat in the measure, the placement of the note indicator can be traced vertically to a tab header to a corresponding note. White keys are represented by placing a note indicator between 2 vertical lines in the tab measure and black keys are represented by placing a note indicator directly on a vertical line. A piano tab is read from top to bottom.

Abstract:
A method for preparing organometallic complexes of the general formula (I): M(RPD)2 (I) in which M may be iron, ruthenium, or osmium, R is hydrogen or an alkyl group having about 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and PD is a cyclic or open chain dienyl system that is known to form a sandwich type complex is provided. The complexes having formula (I) have a metal purity of at least about 99.99%. The method involves reacting a M(III) trichloride hydrate with an HRPD compound and at least one reducing metal, such as aluminum, in an alcohol solvent.
