A method for digital image eye artifact detection and correction include identifying one or more candidate red-eye defect regions in an acquired image. The height-adjustable apparatus includes a first support unit, an elastic element, and a second support unit. 1 to 20 \u03bcm; or a platinum compound; and an organosiloxane oligomer which contains aryl and alkenyl groups and has 8 or less silicon atoms in each molecule and which contains in each molecule at least one divalent organosiloxane as represented by the formula:\u2014SiO\u2014Si\u2014,, in a quantity of at least 2 moles of component per 1 mole platinum atoms in component. In an additional alternative embodiment of the invention, the open end of the packer is sealed by a screen to prevent the intrusion of sand and debris into the space between the cup packer and the wellbore tool on which it is mounted. An output of the second limiting section connects to a second matching circuit.

Disclosed is a disk drive using an accelerometer to sense linear vibration and cancel its effects with an adaptive algorithm during track following. A disk device is combined with a non-volatile memory device to provide much shorter write access time and much higher data write speed than can be achieved with a disk device alone. The register files receive a command from the host processor for controlling an operation of multiple flash memories.

A dust-collecting pipe for a vacuum cleaner can efficiently and easily clean an area such as the top surface of a wardrobe, an area under the wardrobe, or a heat radiator of a refrigerator, which are not easily reachable by the suction port of the dust-collecting pipe. The protective tube is fixed to the base with a double fall-off prevention structure, and latched to the base when a force including gravity and inertia acts on the protective tube toward the closed end of the protective tube in the axial direction thereof. The swivel support portion 100 is self-supported and fixed within the water chamber, and turns the slide table 200 connected thereto. The sealing component has an axial cylindrical wall and a radial annular flange.

A method and system for reducing lexical ambiguity in an input stream are described. In one embodiment, a user selects a major axis length for the tire mold, then selects a ratio of the major axis length to a minor axis length. The fluorine diffusion barrier layer may be used to essentially prevent fluorine from being diffused into a specific pattern formed of a metal or tetra-ethyl-ortho-silicate layer and thus to prevent corrosion and void formation that might otherwise be caused by HF. Finally, electromagnetic waves from the first conductor and the second conductor radiate into the vacuum chamber, generating plasma in the vacuum chamber and processing a substrate placed on the electrode within the vacuum chamber. In one embodiment a control diaphragm is include on the inlet side of the flowing medium.

A synchronizer includes cone clutch friction surfaces for frictionally synchronizing gears to a shaft, and jaw clutch teeth engagable with jaw teeth defined on a shift sleeve for positive connecting the gears to the shaft. In some embodiments, the system and method may model the open space with one-dimensional segments. The interior frame includes a plurality of container support brackets that provide support to both the frame, and a plurality of objects stored therein.

In a water-cooled outboard marine engine, a heat transfer portion is provided in an exit passage located between an outlet end of a cylinder water jacket and a cooling water outlet passage at a position upstream of the thermostat valve. The blade assembly is disposed within the housing and the guide directs cornstalks toward an input port on the housing. Each louver is attached by fasteners and each stanchion has the capability to be reversible without modification to the louvers or stanchions.

In an optical distance measuring apparatus, a transmitter has a light-emitting device emitting an optical signal synchronized with a modulating signal having a predetermined repetition frequency, and a modulating signal generator outputting the modulating signal to the light-emitting device. The lens is used for implantation after cataract surgery. The upper tree module has a tree head, the lower tree module has a guidance system and ties in the flow lines to the in-field infrastructure, and the choke bridge module has the choke and instrumentation bridge to link the three components together. The storing case 4 includes at least a rear side case 3 electrically connected to the ITO film 18, as well as stores the liquid crystal display panel 1. Each receptacle terminal includes a first, second and third side portions.

A method and apparatus for cleaning, detecting, andor removing contamination from the surfaces of nominally transparent materials utilizing internal illumination of those surfaces with at least one electromagnetic radiation beam at an angle of incidence equal to or greater than the critical angle for total internal reflection. The machine has a housing, a vessel for receiving leaf tea and a hot water supply that supplies hot water to that vessel. The distillation column has an upper part and a lower part, the upper part having: a first inlet for receiving degraded oil, and a head having a first outlet for expelling light component vapor.

A structure for the front section of a vehicle body, allowing a collision load to be efficiently transmitted from upper members to front pillars. The trialing assembly includes a broaching plate having a tibia engaging bottom surface adapted for placement atop a tibia and an opposite top surface, the bottom and top surfaces extending between an anterior edge and a posterior edge of the broaching plate. The muffler includes perforated plates and baffle plates in its interior space. The authentication memory 332 can be accessed only by external devices which have been affirmatively authenticated.

A persistent personal messaging system provides tuple space functionality supporting a user changing between a plurality of client devices, even within a loosely coupled, distributed system for persistent personal messaging. The battery pack has one or more cells that lack an outer coverage except for a polymer sheathing. The passages are disposed in a circle facing the selecting device such as to guide the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid traversing the passage of the selecting device through the selected passage of the resistance system. To form an estimate of the number of tuples matching a pattern matching predicate, statistics are retrieved for the matching characters in each matching position in the predicate, and then combined to produce the estimate. An electrostatic test element group may be formed in at least one of the dummy pixels.
