Abstract: In some preferred embodiments, an apparatus is provided that facilitates correction, such as, e.g., linearity correction, in imaging devices, such as, e.g., scintillation cameras. In preferred embodiments, a mask is implemented that can produce images for locating the actual position of a nuclear event based on its apparent position with high accuracy and reliability. In the preferred embodiments, the mask includes a non-uniform array of apertures that can achieve this goal.

Abstract: Point source responses of pinhole apertures in a non-uniform grid mask used to spatially calibrate a gamma camera can be modeled as a two-dimensional Gaussian function with a set of seven parameters. The Gaussian parameters can be measured using a surface-fitting algorithm that seeks minimum error in the least squares sense. The process is repeated for data from each pinhole location and the data are added together to generate a complete model of the flood image from the mask, which then can be used in a peak detection process for clinical images.

Abstract: This invention (The Kelp Klip) provides a natural looking, less time consuming way to feed marine fish and other herbivorous animals as well as fresh water fishes. Instead of attaching to the side of the aquarium glass of acrylic, it is a hands-free way of feeding. It resembles a real marine algae that will not reveal the feeding of fish and other animals. This invention will give a more natural appearance than other aquatic feeding devices. This invention can be adjusted to be used in virtually any depth in an aquarium by adding additional extensions. This invention will also eliminate the hurdle of getting hands and arms wet when placing into and retrieving from an aquarium. They way in which the seaweed is held by the Kelp Klip will minimize the amount of seaweed lost to filters and will reduce fouling of the water in an aquarium.

Abstract: Some embodiments include methods of forming openings in which a metal-containing structure is formed over a region of a semiconductor substrate. A patterned metal-containing material is formed over the metal-containing structure, with the metal-containing material having a gap extending therethrough. An entirety of the metal-containing structure is removed through the gap to leave an opening over the region of the semiconductor substrate. The region of the semiconductor substrate may comprise CMOS sensors, and one or both of filter material and microlens material may be formed within the opening.

Abstract: In a transaction authorisation arrangement a sales point (1) (an electronic point of sale device or a vending machine, for example) communicates with a transaction application (2) transmitting thereto a transaction value. The telephony platform (3) reserves one of a series of premium rate numbers (5) which can be dialled up by a mobile telephone user to authorise the charging of the transaction against the telephone bill. When a call is received at the premium rate number the telephony platform notifies the transaction application which then authorises the sale.

Abstract: An unrolling device for cylindrical hay bales spikes the bale on its axis and pulls it along the ground to unroll it, when the device is pulled by a pickup truck, tractor, or the like. It comprises a transverse crossbar, two arms hinged at their ends to respective ends of the crossbar, and spikes insertable through the arm ends. The arms may swing out from the bar to a right angle; when both are swung out they lie parallel to one another. The spikes fit through the arm ends to protrude inwardly in the same plane as the plane formed by the crossbar and arms. Thus when set up for use the device has the general shape of a serif capital letter C. In use, the arms are set out on either side of a bale and the spikes are inserted through the arm ends to penetrate the hay bale on its axes. The device is pulled by chains on the crossbar to unroll the bale. When not in use, the device folds into a compact linear shape; the spikes are removed and the arms are folded down. The spikes are stored, lying alongside the arms, in special holders so as to be out of the way.

Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to methods and systems for making thermoformed structural elements and composites, including the use of composites, dissimilar or variable processing materials. The present invention avoids the expense and the technical issues of the present art on how difficult it is to ‘clean’ said ‘dirty’ recycled materials so that they are acceptable to the extrusion process and or the injection mold process. The end products can have the same outward appearance as those products made by the more demanding, more expensive extrusion process and or injection process, but the present invention's end products can be pre-engineered to have significantly, unexpectedly, improved physical and chemical properties.

Abstract translation: 本发明一般涉及用于制造热成型结构元件和复合材料的方法和系统，包括使用复合材料，不同的或可变的加工材料。 本发明避免了现有技术的费用和技术问题，即“清洁”所述“脏”的回收材料是多么困难，使得它们对于挤出工艺和注射模具工艺是可以接受的。 最终产品可以具有与通过更苛刻，更昂贵的挤出方法和/或注射方法制备的那些产品相同的外观，但是本发明的最终产品可以被预先设计成具有显着的，意想不到的改善的物理和化学性质。

Abstract: A method of archiving a set of source tables in a database system. Each source table has a plurality of rows. Initially, a consistency point for the set of source tables is established. The database system creates a log record for each change (insert, modify, or delete) effected to a row of the source tables subsequent to the consistency point. Substantially all source table rows are copied to an archive (a data storage object that is external to the database system). Then the accumulated log records for the affected source tables are distilled and appended to the archive.
