Abstract: The present invention provides a structural assembly of electric exchanger device, structured from a main body, a movable member and a restraining member. The main body is provided with a holding space that is able to accommodate connecting pin sets having different spacings and electrically connected to a detector circuit, thereby enabling the detector circuit to effectively detect polarity of a battery. The movable member and the restraining member further extend from the main body, and the movable member is able to rotate on the main body using press buttons, thereby facilitating accommodating batteries having pins at different positions. Furthermore, the restraining member enables securing a battery disposed within the holding space. Accordingly, the electric exchanger device is able to accommodate electrical connection to a variety of batteries having different pin positions, different spacings of pins or different numbers of pins.

Abstract: An image processing system provides faster than real-time skin detection and localization. The system uses the highly optimized architecture of a graphics processing unit to quickly and efficiently detect and locate skin in an image. By performing skin detection and localization on the graphics processing unit, the image processing system frees the main system processor to perform other important tasks, including running general purpose applications. The speed with which the image processing system detects and localizes skin also facilitates subsequent processing steps such as face detection and motion tracking.

Title: Method and device for improving the accuracy of wind tunnel measurements to correct the influence of a hanging device
Inventor: SCHWETZLER DETLEV
IPC: G01M9/04
Filed: 2005-12-22
Granted: 2011-04-19
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving the accuracy of wind tunnel measurements, in particular to correct the influence of a hanging device, wherein a model, in particular an aircraft model, is placed in a wind tunnel on a hanging device that comprises several hanging wires, and at least one sleeve is placed on each hanging wire, comprising the following steps: - carrying out at least two measurements at identical model configurations at at least one effective diameter and/or at the diameter of the hanging wire so as to determine at least two raw measuring values; and - determining a corrected final measuring value for the model from at least two raw measuring values.   According to a first embodiment variant of the method according to the invention, for example during acquisition of the raw measuring values of the drag coefficient of the model, the effective diameter of the hanging wires is reduced in at least three increments by removing sleeves (Hülsen) that have been slid on. From the raw measuring values, by means of interpolation, a final measuring value of the drag coefficient can be determined, which final measuring value has been corrected for the influence of the hanging device and of the interference between the model and the hanging device. According to a further variant, correction takes place by differential formation of only two raw measuring values, whereas one of the raw measuring values is determined at the diameter of the hanging wire without the slid--on sleeves (Hülsen). The method is suitable for correcting all aerodynamic parameters that can be measured in a wind tunnel.     Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for implementing the method.

Abstract: A cutting blade for a morcellator where the blade sidewall includes a beveled or sloped surface that defines a sharpened edge. The sloped surface protects the sharpened edge of the morcellator blade when it is not obvious to a surgeon operating the morcellator that a tenaculum used to grasp anatomical tissue at the surgical site may have its tissue grasping claws spread to such an extent that the claws may contact the cutting blade of the morcellator. Under such circumstances, the tenaculum will contact the sloped portion of the inner surface of the cutting blade, rather than the sharpened edge, thereby minimizing the chance that the sharpened edge will become dull or damaged.
