The box assembly has a top swinging lid to accept dry ice and other materials suitable for infusion. Whether the interpolation position is in a central region of an object or in a marginal region of an object is determined. The card may also include a flexible display configured to display a security code.

A rear and side panel assembly for a vehicle body may include a one-piece inner body panel member mated with a one-piece outer body panel member, the body panels cooperating to at least partially define wheel well openings at opposing sides of the vehicle. When operating in the configuration operating mode, it is more difficult for an eavesdropper to intercept messages between the wireless access point and the Wi-Fi devices being configured. The computer readable code is configured, when executed by the processor, to receive spectral data, to extract a feature set from the spectral data comparable to a plurality of templates in a template library, and to use a branch and bound method to determine a probable template match based on the feature set and templates in the template library. In response to receiving and in accordance with the configuration instructions, data is configured via the API, which represents one or more connections between the virtual network elements. Also, lighting devices comprising means for transferring heat, and methods of deploying lighting devices.

A stage configuration is provided, wherein a ceramic plate is used as the z-stage body to decrease the use of the metal plates in the conventional configuration, so that the compact structure of the z-stage may decrease the vibrational movements of the z-stage. A series of order entry screens are downloaded to a remote customer’s computer, typically via an internet connection. The exclusive logical sum of the delayed signal and the divided clock signal in the frequency-doubling portion doubles the frequency. The fluid supply portion supplies a fluid into a space formed by the fixture and balloon member.
