Methods and apparatus or systems for providing security based on innate characteristics of devices are disclosed. A method of providing security associated with communications from a digital device includes observing an analog signal associated with communications from the digital device, characterizing the digital device at least partially based on the analog signal, and providing a security feature at least partially based on the step of characterizing.

A composition and method is given for a well control fluid that is injected into a well during completion or remediation and prevents fluid flow from a formation into the well during operations (such as shut-in, or placement or adjustment of tools/hardware) when no fluid flow is desired. The composition includes a viscoelastic surfactant fluid system (VES) and a decomposable first solid material, preferably in fiber form, that forms a pack or plug in the well at the location where fluid would otherwise leak off, and then decomposes without intervention to release a product that is a breaker for the surfactant or the micelles of the VES. The composition optionally also contains a pH control agent and a second solid (that may also be a fluid loss agent) that affect the decomposition of the first solid.

The over-running clutch pulley of the preferred embodiments of the invention includes a sheave member defining a sheave input surface adapted to engage an input device, a hub member defining a hub output surface adapted to engage an output device, and a clutch cartridge. The clutch cartridge includes a sheave engagement sleeve coupled to a sheave cartridge surface of the sheave member, a hub attachment sleeve coupled to a hub cartridge surface of the hub member, and a coil spring having the first end attached to the hub attachment sleeve. The coil spring is adapted to engage the sheave engagement sleeve upon the acceleration of the sheave member in a first rotational direction relative to the hub member, and to disengage the sheave engagement sleeve upon the deceleration of the sheave member in the first rotational direction relative to the hub member.

A hybrid wax compositions that are suitable for use in manufacturing wax articles (e.g., candles) by compression molding. The combination of a hydrogenated natural oil-based wax and a paraffin wax having a select distribution of hydrocarbon chain lengths provides the hybrid wax compositions with improved properties, such as improved compressive strength and improved de-molding characteristics, for example, as evidenced by reducing scarring and/or flashing. The hybrid wax compositions comprise: (a) a wax comprising a hydrogenated natural oil; and (b) a paraffin wax, wherein the paraffin wax comprises less than about 50% by weight of the hybrid wax composition, and wherein about 52% or greater of hydrocarbons in the paraffin wax have carbon chain lengths ranging from C25 to C29.

摘要:
A themed holograph theater system and method for presenting interactive holographic imagery that presents 2D or 3D holographic imagery interactive with physical objects. The themed holographic theater system includes a camera or scanner to obtain data concerning the physical object, a projector to project images on a holographic media and a program to identify the physical object based on the camera or scanner data and control the projection of images interacting with the physical object.

Techniques are provided for generating depth estimates for pixels, in a series of images captured by a single camera, that correspond to the static objects. The techniques involve identifying occlusion events in the series of images. The occlusion events are events in which dynamic blobs are at least partially occluded, by static objects, from view of the camera. The depth estimates for pixels of the static objects are generated based on the occlusion events and depth estimates associated with the dynamic blobs. Techniques are also provided for generating the depth estimates associated with the dynamic blobs. The depth estimates for the dynamic blobs are generated based on how far down, within at least one image, the lowest point of the dynamic blob is located.

One transport device for media rolls used with grand format printers includes a base having opposed ends, means for coupling the base to a forklift tine, and two arms respectively adjacent the base ends. Each arm is coupled to the base for rotatable and lateral movement. A first hook extends from a first cable having an upper end coupled to one arm's distal end. The first hook has a receiving area configured to receive a shaft extending generally along the media roll's center axis, and position the shaft along a generally vertical line extending through the first cable upper end. A second hook extends from a second cable having an upper end coupled to the other arm's distal end. The second hook has a receiving area configured to receive the mounting shaft and position the mounting shaft along a generally vertical line extending through the second cable upper end.
