Abstract:
A bunk bed frame includes a lower bed frame and an upper bed frame. The lower bed frame and the upper bed frame both have four corner legs and at least one pair of middle legs. A rectangular configuration is adapted for a full size mattress. The corner legs and middle legs providing support for the mattress. A middle leg lap vertical splice joint connects the pair of middle legs. The middle leg lap vertical splice joint includes a first lap connection on the upper end of the lower middle leg, a second lap connection on the lower end of the upper middle leg, and a lap interface plane connecting the first and second lap connections.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of enhancing the resolution of 2-dimensional digital images and 3-dimensional volume reconstructions by using the random translational shifts and rotations present in a series of raw images to generate a single higher resolution image or volume. The methods allow the generation of a super-resolution image or volume reconstruction whose resolution exceeds the Nyquist limit of the original raw images.
Abstract:
A satellite control system comprising a communications system and an information management system. The communications system is configured to receive commands from a plurality of operators. The communications system is further configured to send the commands to a satellite using a number of communications links. The information management system may be configured to avoid conflicts between the commands sent by the communications system to the satellite from different operators in the plurality of operators that cause an undesired operation of the satellite. The information management system may be configured to provide a desired level of security for information sent between the plurality of operators and the satellite.
Abstract:
A method and system provides a targeted advertisement on a package to be delivered to a recipient. The advertisement is specifically directed towards the recipient of the package. Advertisement information is received from an advertiser that includes one or more advertisements that the advertiser desires to be placed. The advertisement information is associated with advertisement selection criteria. A request for a package to be delivered to the recipient is received. The package has one or more package characteristics, and the recipient has one or more recipient characteristics including at least one location characteristic. The advertisement selection criteria associated with an advertisement are analyzed in conjunction with the package characteristics and recipient characteristics associated with the package and its recipient. An advertisement for the package is either selected or created in response to the analyzing of the advertisement selection criteria, package characteristics, and recipient characteristics. The advertisement is then placed on the package for delivery.
Abstract:
A device for holding and manipulating compressible cleaning implements is disclosed wherein the cleaning implements may be made from a compressible material and may have a compressible portion. The device may include a handle. A blade may be attached to the handle. An outer blade edge may surround the blade. An opening through the blade may be defined by an inner blade edge. A channel may pass through the blade and may extend from the inner blade edge to the outer blade edge, and may be defined by a first channel edge and a second channel edge. The compressible portion of the cleaning implement may be passed through the channel into the opening and may be held in the opening by engagement with the inner blade edge. Each of the first and second channel edges may respectively define first and second circumferentially directed points configured to poke into the compressible material.
Abstract:
A device for holding and manipulating compressible cleaning implements. The device comprises a handle and a blade attached to the handle. The blade is provided with an opening and a channel communicating with the opening and with the outer edge of the blade. The inner end of the channel is narrower than the diameter of the opening so that compressible cleaning implements inserted into the opening through the channel cannot migrate out of the opening during use. The channel is positioned in the portion of the blade that is proximal to the handle.
Abstract:
A method and system for automatically analyzing graphics processing unit (“GPU”) test results are disclosed. Specifically, one embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method, which includes the steps of identifying the GPU test results associated with a first register type, creating a template document associated with the same first register type, wherein the template document is pre-configured to store and operate on the GPU test results of the first register type, filling the GPU test results in the template document, aggregating the GPU test results associated with the first register type to establish a common output, and determining a suitable register value from a passing range of register values based on the common output without human intervention.
Abstract:
A mechanism mounted on a stationary exercise bicycle including a frame, a rear seat, a front drive mechanism having a pedal at either side, and a numeric display is disclosed. In one embodiment, the mechanism includes a mounting assembly fixedly mounted at one side of the frame and including upper and lower mounting lugs; and an arm including an upper section secured to the display and a lower section having a distal end releasably secured to the upper section and a proximal end pivotably fastened between the mounting lugs. The display is adapted to dispose in a first position in front of the seat, in a second position at one side of the frame or in a position between the first position and the second position by pivoting about the mounting assembly.
