The present invention relates to a system and method for providing location determination in a configured environment in which Global Navigation Satellite System Signals may not be available. In this regard, local beacon systems generate spread spectrum CDMA signals that are received by spectral compression units that derive physically meaningful observations without a requirement for correlation of the intercepted energy by means of the known spreading codes. The invention can coexist with communication assets already in place, and the design allows for self calibration, which simplifies installation and usage. The invention has utility in applications in which GNSS signals are unavailable or limited, for example, in warehouse inventory management, in search and rescue operations and in asset tracking in indoor environments.

A stacked package module is disclosed, which comprises: a first package structure comprising a first circuit board with a first chip embedded therein, wherein the first chip has a plurality of electrode pads; the first circuit board comprises a first surface, an opposite second surface, a plurality of exposed electro-connecting ends, a plurality of first conductive pads on the first surface, a plurality of conductive vias, and at least one circuit layer, therewith the electrode pads of the first chip electrically connecting to the electro-connecting ends and the first conductive pads directly through the conductive vias and the circuit layer; and a second package structure electrically connecting to the first package structure through a plurality of first solder balls to make a package on package. The stacked package module of this invention has characters of compact size, high performance, high flexibility, and detachability.

An imaging system and method combines a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system and an x-ray fluoroscopy system such that the two systems have coincident fields of view. X-rays are generated by a stationary anode x-ray tube in which an electron beam is accelerated from a cathode to an anode. In the presence of the static magnetic field of the MRI system, the electron beam is deflected unless it is parallel to the static magnetic field. The x-ray source of the invention contains elements used to steer the electron beam and increase its focusing on the anode. The beam can be steered electrostatically, electromagnetically, or by adding magnetic material to the x-ray source. In the resulting system, MR and x-ray images are acquired without moving the object, which is particularly useful for image-guided medical intervention procedures.

A structural and / or decorative display is made by connecting inflatable balloon chambers into a network. The network of inflatable chambers may be generated as a balloon system comprised of at least two essentially identical balloonlets each of which has at least two openings and is in fluid communication with at least one other identical balloonlet. The set of inflatable chambers may be framed into a network by a matrix of apertures expanded from a sheet of material with a pattern of overlapping cuts. The network of inflatable chambers may be comprised of a balloon system of balloonlets framed by an overlapping cut expandable matrix.

An overvoltage-proof light-emitting diode has a lamination of light-generating semiconductor layers on a first major surface of a silicon substrate. A front electrode in the form of a bonding pad is mounted centrally atop the light-generating semiconductor layers whereas a back electrode covers a second major surface of the substrate. An overvoltage protector, of which several different forms are disclosed, is disposed between the bonding pad and the second major surface of the substrate. The bonding pad and back electrode serves as electrodes for both LED and overvoltage protector. As seen from above the device, or in a direction normal to the first major surface of the substrate, the overvoltage protector lies substantially wholly beneath the bonding pad.

A kitchen hand tool for crushing, slicing, or juicing food products. The tool is operated by closing two handles that rotate a drive gear that engages the ratcheting tooth portion of a crush paddle resulting in the movement of the crush paddle toward a basket, crushing and discharge of the food item through the basket. A drive pawl forces the drive gear to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn forces ratcheting tooth portion and subsequently the crushing paddle down in a clockwise direction applying crushing force on the garlic or any item placed in the crushing area. As the drive gear turns until it clicks past a locking pawl. This cycle of opening and closing the handles is repeated until the crush paddle is fully advanced and can move no further and is against the basket.

A foldable stroller frame assembly includes a bottom frame unit, front and rear frame units connected pivotally to the bottom frame unit, and a handle unit pivotable relative to the front and rear frame units. The bottom frame unit includes a generally V-shaped bottom frame member adapted for mounting rotatably a pair of rear wheels thereon, and a wheel mounting frame member connected to the bottom frame member and adapted for mounting rotatably a front wheel thereon.

A tire press has an upper mold fixedly attached to a top plate. A bottom mold is fixedly attached to a bottom plate. The tire press has a plurality of guide posts adapted to maintain proper alignment of the upper mold and the lower mold as the tire press opens and closes. A plurality of lock rods, which are independent of the guide posts, are positioned about the tire press. Each of the lock rods has a first end and a second end. The lock rods may have an adjustment mechanism positioned on the first end of the lock rods to adjust the various mold heights. Locking means are a part of the tire press, which are adapted to selectively engage the second end of the lock rods. Further, each of the lock rods has cylinder mechanism operatively connected to the locking means. The cylinder mechanism is adapted to force the locking means to the surface of the lock rods. The cylinder mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder having the piston disposed within the chamber. The piston has a release side and a squeeze side, such that when fluid is introduced on the squeeze side, a substantially equal amount of tension is placed on the lock rods to lock the tire press. When fluid is introduced on the release side, the locking means can be removed from the lock rods and the tire press can be opened.
