A method and apparatus which generates an image and particularly a celestial or a natural image having embedded movement that is useful in relieving conditions such as patient angst, depression and the like. The apparatus may include a control panel for adjusting the image and the movement based on the patient's condition or response to the image.

Sensory device useful in bringing a patient neurological or psychological relief

A detection system includes a polarization analyzer that generates one or more null detection values if an object is sensed in a received millimeter wave (MMW) brightness temperature data set. The polarization analyzer analyzes a polarization parameter in the received MMW brightness temperature data set to generate the one or more null detection values. An object detector detects if the object is present based on a comparison of the one or more null detection values to a predetermined threshold. A singular value decomposition (SVD) unit is enabled by the object detector to decompose the MMW brightness temperature data set into a plurality of image layers. Each image layer includes at least one feature of a scene. An identification unit analyzes the plurality of image layers from the SVD unit to determine a shape or a location of the object from the scene.

A simulated time ship dining and entertainment arrangement includes a building structure shaped like a dome and having outer side walls hingedly connected to a roof, inner side walls spaced from the outer side walls and forming display chambers therebetween, a ceiling supported by a simulated engine which is a transparent column resting upon a floor and supporting a dining table; multiple seating members disposed about upon the floor; multiple overhead display modules suspended from the ceiling and floor display modules both of which having image/sound producing equipment, lighting members and memorabilia disposed therein for simulating travel through various time periods; feet members and wheels for supporting and moving the building structure; and communications system for operating the image/sound producing equipment and for communicating to the host and for selecting the time period desired for a unique dining and entertainment arrangement.

A method of making a pizza with the crust being in the center includes providing a thin layer of dough having first and second sides and further providing the traditional ingredients including tomato sauce, at least one cheese, meats, vegetables, and fruits; applying ingredients to the first side of the thin layer of dough; turning the thin layer of dough upon the first side upon a pan having a mesh surface; applying selected ingredients to the second side of the thin layer of dough; and evenly cooking the pizza on both sides with the dough forming a crust in the center and having the ingredients on both sides of the crust rather than on one side only.

The essential cleaning system components for a best mode are as follows. A textile fabric covering of an article has a pile and a backing. A vacuum mat is added below the fabric covering to aid in the flow of dirt and debris from the pile of the covering. A secondary backing is also added for supporting the vacuum mat. A support platform located below the vacuum mat receives the dirt and debris through openings of the support platform. The dirt and debris is transported through channels in the support platform to a collection device. The collection device is equipped with a slider device within the collection device for maintaining adequate suction in the cleaning system. A vacuum unit pulls dirt and debris from the collection device through a vacuum line and discharges it into the discharge container. After cleaning the dirt and debris from the air it is discharged to the atmosphere.

The lighting device and method of this invention makes the wheel well areas of a vehicle available for displaying messages and graphical indicia. The lighting device also allows the wheel well to be illuminated during normal and emergency repairs when insufficient light is available. The lighting device further enhances the appearance of the vehicle and will attract the attention of others. The lighting device can have a sensor to monitor the rotation of the tire and has a pulse modulator to synchronize light flashes from a flash generator with information a sidewall of the tire. The tire will appear to be stopped. A stroboscopic flash tube is used to provide bright flashes of light for a short duration to illuminate the wheel well including the tire. A number of different indicia can be displayed on each tire by modulating the frequency and the phase angle of the light flashes.
