Filed:

Mar 31, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/414767

Inventors:

Win Htay - Temple City CA, US
Michael Lin - Playa Del Rey CA, US

International Classification:

E03D 1/35

US Classification:

4392, 4393

Abstract:

The device of the present invention comprises a limiting face configured to limit a movement of a stop arm of a toilet flush system actuator unit, that may be mounted to a toilet flush valve body by at least one retention piece. A fulcrum piece may also be provided, the fulcrum piece including a fulcrum hole adaptably sized to receive a fulcrum pin of a toilet flush system actuator unit, such that when the device is installed on a broken toilet flush valve the device will substitute, or provide support, for the support arms with fulcrum holes and stop tab for the toilet tilt valve.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00
G06T 17/00

US Classification:

382154, 345420

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a method determines a three-dimensional model from a plurality of images taken of a geographic region by one or more cameras from different perspectives. The method includes determining, using a first stereo reconstruction technique: (i) a plurality of three-dimensional candidate surface points from the plurality of images, and (ii) which of the images in the plurality of images view each of the plurality of candidate surface points. The method also includes identifying an empty space between each of the plurality of candidate surface points and each camera model for the respective images determined to view the candidate surface point. The method further includes for each of a plurality of pairs of images from the plurality of images, determining, using a second stereo reconstruction technique, a surface estimate for the pair of images. The method also includes merging the surface estimates to identify a final surface.

Filed:

Sep 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/653384

Inventors:

Michael Lin - Arcadia CA, US

International Classification:

B65D085/00

US Classification:

206388000

Abstract:

A cable holder comprises a substantially hollow transparent plastic upper member, a substantially hollow plastic lower member and a retaining member forming a pair of grooves. Each groove holds a protruding cable terminal and section of cable when each end of cable is mounted in each groove. The retaining member fits with the substantially hollow upper or lower member in a recessed position when a user depresses the retaining member into the substantially hollow member.

Filed:

Jul 13, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/835324

Inventors:

Michael T. Lin - Sherman Oaks CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 35/00
B67D 3/00

US Classification:

604290, 222192, 222 1, 604310

Abstract:

A liquid delivery device is provided which allows for delivery of precise, small amounts of a target liquid, such as cantharadin, glycolic acid, phenol, trichloroacetic acid, or similar liquids to a specific, discrete target location, such as an area of the skin to treat conditions including, but not limited to: molluscum contagiosum, verrucous vulgaris (warts), verrucous plana (flat warts), acne scars, actinic keratosis, acrochordon (skin tags), seborrheic keratosis, dermatosis papulosa nigra, milia and lentigo (sun spots). The liquid delivery device allows for delivery of the liquid to the target area without delivering the liquid to any part of the area surrounding the precise target location, thereby eliminating unnecessary irritation such as blistering, pain, temporary or permanent tissue damage and/or scarring for the user. The liquid delivery device strongly adheres to the target liquid, eliminating spilling and the resultant danger to the user and eliminating economic waste. In one implementation, the device comprises a small, hollow tube, the material and diameter of which allow uptake and retention of a target liquid by taking advantage of capillary action and surface tension.

Assignee:

ITT Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H01R 13648

US Classification:

439108

Abstract:

A connector is provided of the type that has rows of contacts, which minimizes cross talk between adjacent contacts. An interceptor plate (60, FIG. 2) which is grounded or at another controlled potential, extends along each row of contacts (34), the plate lying close to the row to provide better capacitive coupling between each contact and the plate than between contacts of the same or different rows.
