The present invention generates a concise listing of low-priced travel products in an interactive itinerary format in response to a simplified user input that may include specification of a selected travel theme. The interactive itinerary generated by the invention may allow the user to revise the itinerary to add, remove, and/or amend details related to the various travel products listed therein such that the user may be made aware of the cost and/or scheduling effects of making a particular revision to the itinerary. The invention may also provide a concise display of supplemental information related to the selected theme and/or a selected destination for the itinerary such that the user may be better informed when making revisions to the interactive itinerary. For example, the invention may provide interactive maps, reviews, photos, and/or other supplemental information related to the selected theme and/or one or more of the listed travel products.

A fluid agitating plate fin is mounted to a heat exchanger tube to agitate a cooling fluid and to create a turbulent flow. Edges of the plate fins are opposed to each other and the opposed butted blade edges cross each other.

An optical coherence tomography (OCT) apparatus includes an optical source, an interferometer generating an object beam and a reference beam, a transverse scanner for scanning an object with said object beam, and a processor for generating an OCT image from an OCT signal returned by said interferometer. At least the optical source, the interferometer, and the scanner are mounted on a common translation stage displaceable towards and away from said object. A dynamic focus solution is provided when the scanner and a folded object path are placed on the translation stage.

A Digital Video Recorder is used to record broadcast television programs, store them on a hard disk, and replay them for later viewing. The programs are compressed in the MPEG-2 video compression format when they are first stored on the disk. A separate, second compression algorithm is later performed on the video files that are on the disk. Such transcoding typically occurs when the Digital Video Recorder is otherwise inactive and is used to apply more compression to the stored programs. This step results in a smaller file size for each video file and thereby permits more hours of video to be stored on a given hard disk.

A cooking implement is disclosed which is comprised of a hollow sheath and a utensil, wherein the utensil can be stored within the hollow sheath. The utensil can be a fork, knife, spoon, skewer or any myriad of other types of utensils. The sheath serves as both a storage compartment for the utensil, and when coupled to the end of the utensil, serves as an elongate handle which allows the user to stand back a safe distance while manipulating food items over flames and smoke. When the utensil is stored within the hollow sheath, the implement is very compact and can fit easily in a portable cooler or the like for later use at a barbeque, camping event or any other outdoor cooking venue. The implement also has a hanger to allow it to be hung at any desired cooking location by the user.

The present invention generates a visual display of metabolomic data compiled by a database and associated processor. More particularly, the present invention provides a database for automatically receiving a three-dimensional spectrometry data set for a group of samples. The present invention also provides a processor device for manipulating the data sets to produce plots that are directly comparable to a plurality of characteristic plots corresponding to a plurality of selected metabolites. Furthermore, the processor device may generate a visual display indicating the presence of the selected metabolites across the group of samples. Thus, the present invention enables a user to analyze a series of complex data sets in a visual display that may indicate the presence of the selected metabolites across the group of samples. Furthermore, the visual display generated by embodiments of the present invention also expedites the subjective analysis of the spectrometry data sets.

A starting apparatus includes a drive motor and a reduction gear having a planetary gear for starting an engine by the drive motor via the reduction gear. An internal gear of the reduction gear includes a locking projection projecting in an axial direction. A rotation restricting member is formed with a guide groove in which the locking projection is loosely received and guided in a circumferential direction. A shock absorbing member is held in the guide groove in a state of being elastically in close contact with the locking projection in the circumferential direction. Thus, shock load to the internal gear is alleviated from the start.

A package decoration having a foldable panel and pop-up decoration affixed to the panel. The panel and the pop-up decoration are foldable into a flat format, the pop-up decoration folding between folded portions of the panel. The pop-up decoration configured and printed, and the panel printed to provide an occasion specific decoration. The panel may include a printed greeting and other package wrappings, such as ribbons may also be included with the panel and pop-up decoration.

To allocate resources for a device-to-device discovery and/or communication to a user equipment, the user equipment receives information on allocated resources while the user equipment is connected to a mobile communication network. The user equipment continues a usage of the allocated resources for a device-to-device discovery and/or a device-to-device communication when the user equipment is in an idle mode.

In order to detect rotational speed and rotational direction of an axle, achieve compact formation of the rotation detector, and be excellent in dust resistance performance, a rolling bearing apparatus includes balls interposed between respective raceway surfaces of inner and outer ring members and a seal apparatus is mounted between shoulder portions of the inner and outer ring members. The seal apparatus includes an outer ring side seal ring fixed to the outer ring member and an inner ring side seal ring fixed to the inner ring member. Moreover, a pulser ring is fixed to an inner face of a ring-like core metal of the inner ring side seal ring and on an outer diameter side of a ring-like core metal of the outer ring side seal ring. A regular and reverse rotation detecting sensor is molded by a resin-made external member to integrate.

An apparatus comprises a neutron detector. The neutron detector comprises a conversion layer comprising a mixture of a neutron absorbing material and a scintillation material; and a photodetector optically coupled to the conversion layer and arranged to detect photons generated as a result of neutron absorption events in the conversion layer; wherein the apparatus is adapted to be carried by a user and the conversion layer is positioned within the neutron detector such that when the apparatus is being carried by a user in normal use neutrons are absorbed in the conversion layer after passing through the user such that the user's body provides a neutron moderating effect. In some cases the apparatus may be carried in association with a backpack or clothing worn by a user, for example, the neutron detector may be sized to fit in a pocket. In other cases the apparatus may be a hand-held device with the conversion layer arranged within a handle of the device to be gripped by a user when being carried.
