The present invention provides a computer-implemented system or an online platform to allow pest control company and inspector to access, manage and inspect plants or facilities. Specifically, the present invention provides a computer-implemented system or an online platform that provides tools for the pest control inspector to take one or more images of the bait station being inspected, incorporate notes pertaining to the bait station and save the images and notes on a secure webpage for future retrieval. The present invention also provides a computer-implemented system or an online platform for customers of the pest control company to monitor the tasks performed by the company and inspector by retrieving the images and notes saved by the inspector on a secure webpage.

One aspect of the invention is a method for locating an unexposed region of film. The method includes the step of illuminating film with a light source while the film has developing chemical applied thereto, the film comprising at least two edges along an x direction perpendicular to a y direction parallel to a surface of the film. The method also includes the step of identifying an unexposed region of the film as a region containing ones of a first plurality of columns of the film, the columns disposed generally in the y direction and captured using at least one sensor operable to capture light reflected from the film, and wherein a representative value for each of the ones of first plurality of columns exceeds a threshold.

One aspect of the present invention is a system for estimating sensor and illumination non-uniformities. The system comprises a first light source, and a first sensor operable to capture light reflected from a first side of film illuminated by the light source while the film has a developer chemical applied thereto and processing circuitry coupled to the first sensor. The processing circuitry is operable to capture a first plurality of readings from the sensor responsive to light reflected from an unexposed region of film to determine a first set of non-uniformity data and adjust image data obtained from the film in response to the first set of non-uniformity data. In a further embodiment, the processing circuitry is further operable to dim the first light source for at least a portion of the time that the sensor is being used to sense the unexposed region of the film. The processing circuitry may also capture a second plurality of readings from the sensor while the first light source is dimmed to determine a second set of non-uniformity data and adjust image data obtained from the film in response to the second set of non-uniformity data.

A modular cart comprises a load carrying frame and a wheeled carriage supporting the load-carrying frame. The carriage includes a front carriage assembly pivotally coupled to a front of the frame and a rear carriage assembly pivotally coupled to a rear of the frame. The front and the rear carriage assemblies are substantially identical. Each carriage assembly comprises an axle pivotally coupled at a vertical midpoint axis to the load-carrying frame. The axle is pivotal about the vertical midpoint axis and is selectable between a first position pivotally fixed with respect to the load carrying frame and a second position freely pivotal about the axis. A caster wheel assembly is attached to each of the ends of the axle. The caster wheel assembly is pivotal about a vertical end axis and is selectable between a third position pivotally fixed with respect to the axle and a fourth position freely pivotal about the vertical end axis.

A multiprocessing computer system and method providing multiplexed address and data paths from multiple CPUs to a single storage device. These paths are controlled by an arbitration circuit which allows one CPU to always have the highest priority. The primary CPU may or may not be the highest priority CPU in the arbitration scheme. The arbitration circuit is combined with a controlling mechanism which interfaces to the memory device. This controller operates at a clock rate fast enough to allow the highest priority CPU to access the memory at it's highest data rate and, yet, guarantees a maximum idle period for the lower priority CPU to wait for it's interleaved memory access to complete. A single memory device provides cost and space savings. A controller is responsive to these processors to multiplex their information signals for selectively conveying information present at their address and data ports. A common memory device is addressable by the processors, and responsive to the controller to share addressing of the common memory device.

A speed clip hanger bracket for suspending spiral pipes from a structural member comprises a planar rectangular bracket plate having an aperture therethrough perpendicular to the plane of the plate, and an elongate nut extender welded to one edge of the plate. A threaded through-hole in the nut extender may be screwed onto a threaded rod hanging from a hanger clamp, and a fastener passed through the plate aperture and holes in each flange of a pipe band to join them together and support a pipe.

A wheelchair basically designed for mobility impaired children ages 2-6. The wheelchair is especially designed to facilitate the child's access to all objects and activities that would normally be available to a non-disabled child. The chair includes a power base, including large front drive wheels and small rear casters, and a seat that is positioned directly over the drive wheels and that is readily detachable from the base. All components of the wheelchair are positioned inboard of the side edges of the seat and inboard of the front edge of the seat so as to maximize access to areas alongside of and in front of the wheelchair. The axis of rotation of the front drive wheels is generally vertically aligned with the trunk of the child positioned in the seat and the composite center of gravity of the child and wheelchair is positioned slightly behind the axis of rotation of the drive wheels so that the child can tilt the wheelchair forwardly about the axis of the front drive wheels by a simple forward rotation of the child's trunk. The wheelchair also includes a stowable footrest that readily retracts into the base of the wheelchair.

A computer system has a memory and has a processor coupled to the memory, the processor having an access control arrangement for delaying completion of a memory access until the occurrence of a control signal. A deterministic circuit coupled to the-processor and the memory has a register arrangement containing control information loaded by the processor, the deterministic circuit having a signal generation arrangement for generating the control signal. The signal generating arrangement includes a selective delay arrangement which can selectively delay generation of the control signal during an access to the memory by a time interval having a duration which is a function of the control information in the register arrangement.
