Abstract:
An inflatable drive through tunnel system comprised of an inflatable main tunnel and an inflatable positive pressure booth area for performing simple medical diagnostic tests or the like. A patient can drive into the inflatable tunnel. Medical personnel can take samples from patients who remain in their vehicles. The medical personnel can then store the samples in the positive pressure booth area. The positive pressure ensures that outside contaminants are not brought into the booth through the air when the personnel enter and leave the booth.
Abstract:
An improved mobile paint booth system and method for applying paint to a vehicle is herein disclosed. An improved mobile paint booth can comprise a plurality of vertical supports, a base support, a first upper beam, and a second upper beam. The plurality of vertical supports can comprise a corner support at each corner, and a middle support along a first wall. The base support can be substantially in the shape of a “U” that can connect each of the vertical supports. The base of the “U” can be along the bottom of the first wall. The first upper beam that can connect a first set of the corner support and the middle support. The second upper beam that can connect a second set of the corner support.
Abstract:
Techniques for displaying content using an augmented reality device are described. Embodiments provide a visual scene for display, the visual scene captured using one or more camera devices of the augmented reality device. Embodiments adjust physical display geometry characteristics of the visual scene to correct for optimal projection. Additionally, illumination characteristics of the visual scene are modified based on environmental illumination data to improve realism of the visual scene when it is displayed. Embodiments further adjust display characteristics of the visual scene to improve tone mapping output. The adjusted visual scene is then output for display on the augmented reality device.

Abstract:
A polishing apparatus comprising a base for affixing structures thereto, a drive wheel, a polishing wheel assembly, a polishing belt, and at least one routing wheel engaged with the polishing belt. The polishing wheel assembly includes an elongated arm including a distal end, and a rotatable polishing wheel supported at the distal end of the elongated arm. The polishing belt is made with an abrasive outer surface to perform the polishing, and an inner surface for engagement with the perimeters of the drive wheel and the polishing wheel. The routing wheel is engaged with the outer surface of the polishing belt, such that the contact arc of the polishing belt with the polishing wheel differs from an arc of the polishing wheel perimeter extending from a first tangent line between the drive wheel and the polishing wheel to a second tangent line between the drive wheel and the polishing wheel.
Abstract:
A circuit is disclosed for disconnecting a power source upon the detection of a leakage current comprising a power cable having an insulated first and a second wire. The power cable has a conductive shield surrounding the first and second wires with a drain wire electrically contacting the conductive shield. A disconnect switch is interposed between the power source and the power cable. A primary circuit controls the disconnect switch. A secondary circuit is connected to the drain wire for sensing a leakage current between the conductive shield and one of the first and second wires. An optical switch interconnects the primary circuit and the secondary circuit for opening the disconnect switch upon the secondary circuit sensing a leakage current.
Abstract:
A system for automatically retargeting test vectors for application on tester systems having different performance capabilities is provided. The system includes a user selectable mode selector that can be adjustable between different performance modes, e.g. high, medium, and low. In high performance mode, the system allows test vectors to be applied using a high performance test system, e.g. a tester having high pin count. In low performance mode, the same test vectors can be applied but using a low performance test system, e.g. a tester having low pin count. By allowing the same test vectors to be used in a high performance or a low performance test environment, a testing facility can make maximum use of its available testing equipment for efficiently testing a device.
Abstract:
A method to discover defective coaxial shielding in cable lines in a building by inducing a test current into the nearby alternating current (AC) power lines (also known as “mains” in the United Kingdom) and measuring a resulting induced test signal inside the coaxial cable lines. A test signal current driven onto the power lines from a wall socket will propagate back to the main electrical box in the building. The main electrical box is normally connected to a ground, such as water pipes or a ground rod driven into the earth. Some of the test signal will be transferred to the outside of the coaxial cable in the building by radiation, conduction or induction. If the coaxial cable has perfect shield integrity, none of the test signal will be induced into the center conductor of the coaxial cable. However, if the coaxial cable has poor shielding integrity or a shield break, some portion of the test current will be transferred into the inside of the cable, potentially causing interference with cable signals. A broadband test signal can be intentionally driven onto the building's power lines and measured at a convenient location in the building's coaxial cable, such as at the tap, the ground block, or inside the house. Optionally, the test signal can propagate back to the headend where it can be observed and measured. A display from the headend, such as spectrogram showing the test signal's interference, can be relayed back to the field where the test result can be viewed by a technician. Methods are disclosed to reduce interference of the test signal with upstream data signals.
Abstract:
An assist assembly for actuating the release handle of a pivoting landing leg and a heavy trailer and providing an assist in raising and lowering the landing leg between a horizontal transport position and a vertical ground support position. The assist assembly includes a pivoting handle having camming surfaces to raising the release handle to an unlatched position maintaining weight bearing engagement with the handle during movement between the positions.
Abstract:
An inflatable booth for use in detecting dents on an automobile. The inflatable booth generally forms an archway or tunnel and has an exterior surface and an interior surface. Lights are mounted on the exterior surface of the booth. The exterior surface of the booth is transparent or clear at least in the areas where the lights are positioned. The interior surface has a repeating geometric pattern. To detect dents, an automobile is driven into the booth and the lights are turned on. The geometric pattern on the interior surface of the booth is reflected off the surface of the automobile forming a reflected pattern. Dents or mars in the surface of the automobile cause distortions in the reflected pattern, thus making them easy to detect and fix. The booth can be easily inflated, deflated, and transported.
