The plurality of opposing contact pairs are arranged into a plurality of regions within the mat, the regions being arranged forward to aft in the mat with the first region being disposed along the forward edge of the mat and subsequent regions being disposed sequentially further aft from said first region. The contact pairs are biased open and the closing of an opposing contact pair produces results in the production of an electrical signal associated with the closed opposing contact pair. A controller monitors the mat to determine retail item footprints. | 02-18-2016 |

20120210253 | UNIFIED ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT OF EVENTS ACROSS MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS AND ASSOCIATED CONTACTS THEREOF - Systems and methods for unified access and management of events across multiple applications and the associated contacts thereof are disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, for enabling multi-application access of associated events via a single interface, including, depicting in the single interface on a device, representations of multiple applications available for access at the device where the single interface is further populated with the events associated with the multiple applications. One embodiment further includes, updating the single interface to visually depict recent events received content from the multiple applications where each of the representations in the single interface, are selectable or actionable to access application features of a corresponding application in a different interface. | 08-16-2012 |

20160081594 | RANGE OF MOTION SYSTEM, AND METHOD - A system and method for range of motion evaluation and recording for physical therapy, ergonomics, training, and individual rehabilitation. While talking with the physical therapists, a frequently mentioned problem they encountered was to evaluate the range of motion of a patient during the performance of functional movements like standing up from a chair, taking objects off of the ground, squatting, and gait analysis. Physical therapists currently use a goniometer to measure the motion of a single angle and visually inspect for inconsistencies and subjectively assess the patient during performance of functional tasks. | 03-24-2016 |

20150034858 | THERMALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYMER COMPOSITIONS TO REDUCE MOLDING CYCLE TIME - A thermally conductive polymer composition comprising (1) a polymer material, and (2) a thermally conductive filler. The thermally conductive filler can be boron nitride. The thermally conductive polymer composition can be used in a molding operation to form a molded article and can reduce the molding cycle time of a molding process. In one embodiment, increasing the thermal conductivity of a polymer material (as compared to the thermal conductivity of the material in the absence of a thermally conductive filler) increases the thermal diffusivity and reduces the cooling time of the article. The present invention also provides methods of forming molded articles from such compositions. | 02-05-2015 |

20130114037 | LENS RECEPTOR LOCK FOR GLASSES - A lens receptor that includes relief mechanism, such as a kerf-like slotted spring lock, that releases under pressure to allow the insertion of the lens and once inserted, provides sufficient force to retain the lens in position even during athletic activity. The lock includes an interior space that includes latches. The lens includes catches and detents that correspond to the latches. In operation, the lock is forced into the open position as the catches of the lens are forced to the backside of the latches, and as the lock closes, the latches are forced into the detents thereby securing the lens to the lock. | 05-09-2013 |
20140078461 | RECEPTOR AND LOCK FOR GLASSES WITH REMOVABLE LENSES - A glasses structure that receives a variety of lens element types including full-frame, half-frame and frameless lens elements. A temple that receives a connector on the lens element includes a kerf-like slotted spring lock, that releases under pressure to allow the insertion of the lens element and once inserted, provides sufficient force to retain the lens element in position even during athletic activity. The lock includes an interior space that includes latches. The lens element includes catches and detents that correspond to the latches. In operation, the lock is forced into the open position as the catches of the lens element are forced to the backside of the latches, and as the lock closes, the latches are forced into the detents thereby securing the lens to the lock. | 03-20-2014 |
