    摘要: Extruded foam reinforcement pieces are described for assembly in connection with innerspring assemblies and mattresses. The pieces have optimized cross-sectional configurations which can be consistently extruded in continuous strands which are then cut to length according to the type and size of innerspring assembly. The pieces are configured to engage various components of the innerspring, including spring coils, spaces between spring coils, and framing borderwires. The foam reinforcement pieces facilitate attachment and alignment of overlying material such as padding and upholstery and function to improve the support characteristics of an innerspring. Various embodiments of extruded foam reinforcement pieces include a support element configured to attach about the exterior of a single coil at a corner of an innerspring; a relatively short span side wall support which engages vertically between coils adjacent a vertical side wall of the innerspring; and a tapered edge structure configured to fit over side edges of an innerspring, with padding and upholstery attachable over each of the various foam reinforcement structures to improve the form and strength of an innerspring assembly.

    摘要: A prosthetic retina for implantation in an eye having a defective retina is formed from an array of nanowires having a predetermined spatial distribution, density, size and shape implanted in close proximity to the retina. An electrical conductor is formed at a first end of all nanowires in the array of nanowires and placed in contact with a bias source which biases the array. A plurality of electrodes is located on a second end of each of one nanowire or a bundle of nanowires in the array. Each nanowire produces a photocurrent at a corresponding electrode in response to detection of light impinging on the array of nanowires and the photocurrent stimulates one or more neurons adapted for visual perception. In the preferred embodiment, the predetermined spatial distribution mimics a distribution of rods and cones in a normal eye.

    摘要: Methods for adjusting the bulk material properties of manufactured components, such as resistors, thermistors, varistors, capacitors, resonators, oscillators, and optical components. Adjustment of the resistance of a resistor can be achieved by directing a high energy beam, such as an ultraviolet beam, onto a resistor formed from a matrix component and an embedded conductive component. The high energy beam adjusts the resistivity of the resistor material substantially without ablating the matrix component by affecting the matrix component, the conductive component, or both. Because of the lack of ablation, the material having a property to be adjusted can be a sub-layer in a laminated structure, with the high energy beam being directed through other layers formed thereon.

    摘要: A concealed panel locking mechanism is provided which may be used to secure the contents of a container in a manner that is not discernable to an uninformed individual viewing the container. In one exemplary embodiment, the locking mechanism includes one or more channels formed into a central area of a panel of material. A locking member within the one or more channels is movable along the channel to either engage or disengage the locking member from a recess formed in a side wall of the container. In one embodiment, the locking member is not physically accessible from outside the channel by a human being but is formed from a ferromagnetic material that is moved within the channel by a magnetic force generated by a suitable strength magnetic key placed on the outside surface of the panel.

    摘要: Described are techniques used in occluding contour detection. Cues obtained from a static image are combined with cues obtained based on motion disparity of objects in the image to determine occluding image contours. Two images of a same scene are obtained. Local pixel-wise flow fields are obtained using the Lucas-Kanade technique. A warped image is determined using the second image and the flow field. A disparity map is determined by comparing the warped image to the original first image. Static image cues are obtained from the original image using the Berkeley technique. The static image cues are combined with the motion disparity cues indicated by the disparity map producing a product image map. Occluding contours are determined by processing the product image map with the JetStream tracking technique. The occluding contours may be used with the original image for subsequent processing.

    摘要: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and apparatus that generates preorder information identifying a plurality of consumer items to be prepared at designated begin times, based at least in part on historical purchase information. At each of the designated begin times a ticket is generated identifying a consumer item, wherein the consumer item has an associated duration such that the consumer item will be ready at a finished time. Each ticket is provided to a client computing device, wherein the tickets further include at least a remaining amount of time until the identified consumer item reaches the finished time. A request is received from the client computing device to claim one of the consumer items identified by one of the provided tickets. Each of the claimed consumer items is associated with a claimed status. The historical purchase information is updated based on the request.
