An interior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a reflective element and a casing. An attachment plate is secured to the reflective element and an electronic circuitry element, such as a printed circuit board, is attached to the attachment plate. The attachment plate includes at least one mounting member protruding through the circuit board for engaging a mounting assembly that mounts the mirror assembly to an interior portion of the vehicle and directly supports the attachment plate, along with the printed circuit board and the reflective element at an end of the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly may comprise a toggle assembly for a prismatic reflective element.

A collaborative information system.

An information retrieval system for automatically retrieving information related to the context of an active task being manipulated by a user. The system observes the operation of the active task and user interactions, and utilizes predetermined criteria to generate a context representation of the active task that are relevant to the context of the active task. The information retrieval system then processes the context representation to generate queries or search terms for conducting an information search. The information retrieval system reorders the terms in a query so that they occur in a meaningful order as they naturally occur in a document or active task being manipulated by the user. Furthermore, the information retrieval system may access a user profile to retrieve information related to the user, and the select information sources or transform search terms based on attributes related to the user, such as the users occupation, position in a company, major in school, etc.

A method of browsing images in an image collection using a processing system (101). The method includes having the processing system (101) cause a representation of a number of images to be displayed, the representation including the number of images arranged in an image ring (110). The image ring is configured to have a size determined by at least one of the number of images and the size of the images in the image ring.

A method and system of compensation for intra-operative organ shift of a living subject usable in image guide surgery. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of generating a first geometric surface of the organ of the living subject from intra-operatively acquired images of the organ of the living subject, constructing an atlas of organ deformations of the living subject from pre-operatively acquired organ images from the pre-operatively acquired organ images, generating a second geometric surface of the organ from the atlas of organ deformations, aligning the second geometric surface of the organ to the first geometric surface of the organ of the living subject to determine at least one difference between a point of the first geometric surface and a corresponding point of the second geometric surface of the organ of the living subject, which is related to organ shift, and compensating for the intra-operative organ shift.

Novel techniques for hearing enhancement based on a pair of glasses are disclosed. In one embodiment, the glasses include a first lens holder, a second lens holder, a bridge element, a first temple, a second temple, a first speaker, a second speaker, a microphone and at least one electrical component that performs a hearing enhanced function to enhance audio signals from the microphone to be sent to the speakers for the user to hear. At least one electrical component in the glasses is for generating other audio signals by the speakers, with the other audio signals originating from signals other than audio signals captured by the microphone. In another embodiment, some of the electrical components are in a portable device, wired or wirelessly, coupled to the glasses. In yet another embodiment, the glasses function as a headset, with other electrical components in the portable device. In such embodiment, since the glasses can provide a number of different hearing functions, a third party may not be able to tell whether the user is wearing the glasses to have his hearing enhanced, or for hearing other audio signals.

A head 2 is hollow. The head 2 has a sole part 8. The sole part 8 has a groove forming part k1 having a recessed outer surface g1 and a protruding inner surface s1. The sole part 8 has a first groove forming part k1 and a second groove forming part k1. The first groove forming part k1 and the second groove forming part k1 have a front-back directional length. A distance between the first groove forming part k1 and the second groove forming part k1 in a toe-heel direction is wider toward a back of the head. Preferably, the first groove forming part k1 and the second groove forming part k1 exist on a back of a face surface 13. Preferably, the sole part 8 has a connecting groove part r1. The connecting groove part r1 is formed by connecting a front end of the first groove forming part k1 to a front end of the second groove forming part k1 with each other.

A gas operated action for auto-loading guns may comprise a receiver, a biasing spring, a bolt-carrier reciprocable within the receiver, a bolt having a cam pin, and an action rod fixedly attached to the receiver. The cam pin may engage the action rod during recoil travel of the bolt and bolt-carrier, thereby preventing rotation of the bolt when the cam pin is engaged with the action rod.

The present invention discloses a system for automatically exchanging cleaning tools of a robot cleaner and a method therefor. The system for automatically exchanging the cleaning tools of the robot cleaner includes the robot cleaner for deciding whether a currently-mounted first cleaning tool is suitable for a bottom state of a cleaning area, and returning to and being docked on an exchange unit when the first cleaning tool is not suitable for the bottom state, and the exchange unit for exchanging the first cleaning tool currently mounted on the robot cleaner with a second cleaning tool suitable for the bottom state when the robot cleaner is docked.

Described herein are avian follistatin products, and methods for producing such products, in which such products are effective for a variety of conditions, including increasing muscle mass. Avian follistatin products described herein are packaged as dietary supplements or nutritional supplements are useful in muscle regeneration.

A golf club head includes a body having a striking plate and an assembling portion, a first elastic weight member including an elastic matrix and a metal powder mixed in the elastic matrix, and a second elastic weight member including an elastic matrix and a metal powder mixed in the elastic matrix of the second elastic weight member. The second elastic weight member includes a specific density and an elastic coefficient different from those of the first elastic weight member. The first elastic weight member and the second elastic weight member are mounted in the assembling portion of the body to form a golf club head. The first elastic weight member and the second elastic weight member adjust a center of gravity of the golf club head and provide an elastic vibration-absorbing effect.
