Abstract:
A tool and method for cutting an object three dimensionally is disclosed having a lower receiving plate comprising a cavity that is shaped and sized to fit a shoe last for placing a shoe sole on that is to be fully or partially cut, and an upper pressing plate comprising a segmented sub-plate comprising individually spring-backed segments, further comprising a cutting blade substantially surrounding each segment.
Abstract:
A cement board is provided, comprising gelatin, fiber material, and ammonium dichromate. The gelatin, the fiber material, and the ammonium dichromate are mixed substantially evenly across and formed into a board by pressure. The gelatin may comprise a mixture of peptides and proteins. The peptides and proteins may be produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals. The ammonium dichromate has a formula (NH4)2Cr2O7. The fiber material may comprise wood fiber. The wood fiber may comprise shredded wood threads. The fiber material may further comprise hemp. The cement board may further comprise fiberglass. The cement board may further comprise pieces of volcanic stones. The cement board may further comprise a mesh embedded therein. The mesh may comprise a metal mesh. The cement board may further comprise plastic cement. The cement board may further comprise adhesive.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a composite pad structure that includes a substrate bonded to a plurality of discrete, spaced-apart, resilient elements engaged to at least one reinforcing structure.
Abstract:
Exemplary systems, methods and computer-accessible mediums can be provided for imaging at least one anatomical structure. For example, it is possible to direct a saturation-recovery (SR) pulse sequence having fast spin echo (FSE) to or at the anatomical structure(s). At least one T1 image of the at least one anatomical structure can be generated based on the SR pulse sequence. In one example, the anatomical structure(s) can include a hip. According to another example, T1 image(s) can include a plurality of T1 images generated or provided in a plurality of rotating radial planes.

The present application discloses a composite pad structure that includes a substrate bonded to a plurality of discrete, spaced-apart, resilient elements engaged to at least one reinforcing structure.
Abstract:
A method for fabricating an air-filled cellular structure for use as a resilient cushion. The method includes providing a molding structure including a shelf substantially surrounding a depression, and a platform that fits within the depression and is selectively movable between a plurality of positions relative to the shelf, moving the platform to a preselected position relative to the shelf, wherein the preselected position corresponds to a substantially predetermined amount of air to be contained by the air-filled cellular structure, and using a vacuum device to draw air from within the depression. The method further includes engaging a first portion of a first expanse of generally air-impermeable material with the shelf, whereby the vacuum device draws a second portion of the first expanse of material against the moveable platform, and bonding a first portion of a second expanse of generally air-impermeable material to the first portion of the first expanse, thereby enclosing a volume of air between the first and second expanses. The method may further include bonding a third portion of the first expanse to a second portion of the second expanse, thereby decreasing the volume of the air enclosed between the first and second expanses.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods and systems for processing a consumer payment with a payment system that utilizes payment information from a network partner of the payment system. In one embodiment, the payment system initiates a payment transaction between a merchant's site and the consumer in response to receiving a selection of a payment option from a consumer using an electronic device. The payment system generates selectable network partner options to be displayed on the electronic device of the consumer. The payment system receives a selection of one of the network partner options and also account credential information for the selected network partner from the consumer. The payment system sends the account credential information to the network partner for authentication. The payment system receives payment information for the consumer from the network partner. The payment system processes the payment transaction on behalf of the merchant.
Abstract:
The present application describes a padding composite that includes at least one substrate connected to cushioning element having middle and distal part, slidably affixed to the substrate.
Abstract:
An assembly for maintaining flow between an inlet conduit and an outlet conduit. The assembly may include a first plate having an inlet notch sized to engage the inlet conduit and an outlet notch sized to engage the outlet conduit, and a second plate having an inlet notch sized to engage the inlet conduit and an outlet notch sized to engage the outlet conduit. The assembly may also include a first connecting member coupled to the first plate and the second plate, a bag having at least one glove port coupled to a second connecting member, and means for connecting the first connecting member to the second connecting member.
