Title: Improved stillage for transport and display of articles
Inventor: BILOTTO FRANCIS V
IPC: B65D19/02
Filed: 2007-08-31
Abstract: An array of stillages mounted on top of each other or one stillage is able to be disposed at an angle to another. The advantage of this arrangement is that space between adjacent stillages in an array can be adjusted to hold a range of different sized articles during transport. A further advantage is that once the articles have reached their destination, the array of stillages can be further adjusted to angle one platform relative to another. In this way articles, which have been transported can then be displayed professionally by reconfiguring the array of stillages after reaching a destination.

IPC: G11B5/127
Filed: 2009-06-30
Abstract: An apparatus receives input of sample sets, each including a set of values of design parameters and a set of values of objective functions; calculates objective function approximating equations; and selects, as initial candidates for an optimal design parameter set, some sets of values of design parameters corresponding to non-dominated solutions. The apparatus calculates one or more interpolating design parameter sets interpolating between two adjacent components in the candidates; and approximates values of the objective functions for each interpolating design parameter set. The apparatus selects an optimal interpolating design parameter set corresponding to a non-dominated solution in the cost evaluation for a pair of objective functions; and integrates it into the candidates. The apparatus repeats processes on the new candidates while determining the parameter distance between components of the new candidates. Finally obtained new candidates are output as final optimal design parameter sets and information relating to it is displayed.

Title: Method and systems to control municipal solid waste density and higher heating value for improved waste-to-energy boiler operation
Inventor: BARKER ROBERT L
IPC: F23G5/00
Filed: 2007-12-21
Abstract: Having an indication of changes to the heating value of municipal solid waste (MSW) and having a means to control it before the MSW is fed to the boiler enables improved combustion control and increased capacity of waste-to-energy boilers. The moisture content of MSW has a significant impact on its heating value and on boiler efficiency when combusted. Changes in moisture content also change the density of the MSW. Directly measuring the density of the MSW prior to feeding it to the boiler permits controlled addition of additional water or liquid waste to reduce the variance of the MSW heating value.

Title: Procede et appareil permettant une simulation realiste du vieillissement et du rajeunissement des rides
Inventor: HILLEBRAND GREG GEORGE
IPC: G06T13/40
Filed: 2008-06-19
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes permettant de simuler de façon réaliste le vieillissement des rides du visage d'une personne à l'aide d'une image d'état neutre (aspect naturel) et d'une ou plusieurs images d'expressions (par exemple, un sourire, un froncement de sourcils, une moue, un clin d'il) qui induisent des rides. Les images neutres et d'expression sont traitées pour simuler un vieillissement des rides par superposition des rides qui sont visibles dans l'image d'expression sur l'image neutre, pour ainsi générer une image simulée avec des rides vieillies. De façon avantageuse, les propres données histologiques de rides d'une personne sont utilisées, pour ainsi donner une simulation du vieillissement des rides précise et réaliste. De manière similaire, l'image neutre est traitée pour éliminer toutes les rides visibles et générer ainsi une image de simulation avec des rides rajeunies. De plus, un mélange d'une image neutre avec une image de simulation vieillie ou rajeunie est décrit, le degré de mélange étant basé sur une modélisation statistique d'état de la peau avec l'âge et/ou du résultat attendu d'un type de traitement particulier. Les procédés et systèmes décrits ont une large gamme d'application, incluant par exemple des domaines tels que la dermatologie, la cosmétique et l'animation par ordinateur, entre autres.

IPC: C12N5/073
Filed: 2008-10-03
Abstract: The present invention refers to an optimized and defined method for isolation and preservation of precursor cells from human umbilical cord. Besides being reproducible and 100% reliable, in terms of the number of samples processed, the method results in a high and defined number of precursor cells, being the majority obtained after a single adhesion and expansion/multiplication phase ex vivo (thus granting cell phenotype), in a shorter time frame than what was previously described in the state-of-the-art. With this method, it is possible to obtain, in 9 days, after direct freezing of a cell fraction, and after one expansion/multiplication phase ex vivo (end of PO) of the majority of the cells, about 8, 6, 6 ( 0, 1) xiϑs cells/gram of processed umbilical cord. In turn, the characteristics of the cells allow, for example, after 35 days, obtaining an average of 7,7x1015 cells, with precursor phenotype, from 100% of processed umbilical cord samples. The method, because it is simple, robust and 100% reliable, can be performed under good manufacturing practices (GMP) in laboratories dedicated to cell therapy in humans. Furthermore, the method has applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and biotechnology areas.

Abstract: Objects are modeled and rendered using multiple surfaces to provide attributes used in rendering. In some embodiments, a reference surface for an object is defined, e.g., using conventional modeling techniques. One or more auxiliary surfaces are associated with portions of the reference surface. Some of the surface attributes (e.g., color, surface normal, texture, lighting) are associated with the reference surface, while other attributes (e.g., transparency) are associated with the cards. To render an image, a ray associated with a pixel is traced to its intersection with the reference surface and to its intersection with one of the auxiliary surfaces. The attributes associated with the reference surface are determined based on the intersection point of the ray with the reference surface, and the attributes associated with the auxiliary surface are determined based on the intersection point of the ray with the auxiliary surface.

Abstract: A thin silicon solar cell is described.  Specifically, the solar cell may be fabricated from a crystalline silicon wafer having a thickness of approximately 50 micrometers to 500 micrometers. The solar cell comprises a first region having a p-n homojunction, a second region that creates heterojunction surface passivation, and a third region that creates heterojunction surface passivation. Amorphous silicon layers are deposited on both sides of the silicon wafer at temperatures below approximately 400 degrees Celsius to reduce the loss of passivation properties of the amorphous silicon. A final layer of transparent conductive oxide is formed on both sides at approximately 165 degrees Celsius. Metal contacts are applied to the transparent conductive oxide. The low temperatures and very thin material layers used to fabricate the outer layers of used to fabricate the outer layers of the solar cell protect the thin wafer from excessive stress that may lead to deforming the wafer.
