Title: Slider bag with zipper closure
Inventor: GONG LIFENG
IPC: B65D33/25
Filed: 2011-11-22
Abstract: A reclosable fastener assembly comprising a slider having one center leg and two extensions or bumps behind the center leg. The center leg extends downward from the top surface. The top surface does not extend all the way to, but terminates a short distance from, the separator end of the slider. Similarly, the center leg is not at, but terminates a short distance from, the edge of the top surface closest to the separating end of the slider. As a result, the center leg is spaced a short distance from the separator end of the slider.

Title: In-line holographic mask for micromachining
Inventor: PARKER JULIE W
IPC: G03F1/26
Filed: 1997-11-14
Abstract: An optically made, high-efficiency in-line holographic mask (ILHM) for patterning a workpiece and apparatus and methods for performing same. The ILHM    (32) combines the functions of a lens and amplitude mask to obviate the need for projection optics. The ILHM is formed using either a non-opaque (MI) or opaque (MII) object mask having transparent regions which can be phase altering, scattering, refracting and/ or diffracting. One method of the invention is illuminating an ILHM to impart a pattern on a workpiece (40).  Another method is patterning a workpiece using an ILHM in combination with a lens. Using the ILHM, a holographic real image is disposed at or near the lens image plane. Exposure apparatus (10) for workpieces using ILHMs are also disclosed.

Title: Use of a porous crystalline hybrid solid as a nitrogen oxide reduction catalyst and devices
Inventor: VIMONT ALEXANDRE
IPC: B01D53/56
Filed: 2010-05-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of solids consisting of a metal-organic framework (MOF) and having the units of the following formula (I): MmOkXILp as a nitrogen-oxide catalyst. The present invention also relates to devices for enabling the implementation of said use. The nitrogen oxides in question are nitrogen monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, collectively referred to as NOx. The MOF solids of the present invention are advantageously capable of removing nitrogen oxides from a liquid or gaseous effluent, for example from water, from the exhaust gases of a vehicle, factory, workshop, laboratory, stored products, urban air vents, etc., without any reducing agent and at a low temperature. The DeNOx catalysis is a major issue for our societies. The invention can be used for reducing or even avoiding the consequences for public health of the toxic NOx gases resulting from human activity.

Title: Visual segmentation of lawn grass
Inventor: SCHEPELMANN ALEXANDER
IPC: G06V10/56
Filed: 2010-07-01
Abstract: This invention provides a method for identifying lawn grass comprising capturing an image of the terrain in front of a mower, segmenting the image into neighborhoods, calculating at least two image statistics for each of the neighborhoods, generating a binary representation of each image statistic. The binary representation of each image statistic is generated by comparing the calculated image statistic values to predetermined image statistic values for grass. The method further comprises weighting each of the binary representations of each image statistic, and summing corresponding neighborhoods for all image statistics. A binary threshold is applied to each of the summed neighborhoods to generate a binary map representing grass containing areas and non-grass containing areas.
