Abstract

A method for approximating a plurality of digital signals or images using compressed sensing. In a scheme where a common component xof said plurality of digital signals or images an innovative component xof each of said plurality of digital signals each are represented as a vector with m entries, the method comprises the steps of making a measurement y, where ycomprises a vector with only nentries, where nis less than m, making a measurement yfor each of said correlated digital signals, where ycomprises a vector with only nentries, where nis less than m, and from each said innovation components y, producing an approximate reconstruction of each m-vector xusing said common component yand said innovative component y.

Abstract

A method for recovering a signal by measuring the signal to produce a plurality of compressive sensing measurements, discarding saturated measurements from the plurality of compressive sensing measurements and reconstructing the signal from remaining measurements from the plurality of compressive sensing measurements. Alternatively, a method for recovering a signal comprising the steps of measuring a signal to produce a plurality of compressive sensing measurements, identifying saturated measurements in the plurality of compressive sensing measurements and reconstructing the signal from the plurality of compressive sensing measurements, wherein the recovered signal is constrained such that magnitudes of values corresponding to the identified saturated measurements are greater than a predetermined value.

Abstract

A cup holder assembly formed as part of a vehicle arm rest. The cup holder includes a slidable drawer mounted to a frame for movement between an extended position and a retracted position. A retaining arm is supported by the drawer and biased to pivot about a vertical axis between a use position and a stored position. The retaining arm has a retaining ring on one end which defines a container receiving aperture. The ring also includes a downwardly extending offset which is adapted to receive the handle of a container. The drawer additionally has an indentation defined in a lateral side edge and the indentation is located so as to correspond with and receive the offset when the retaining arm is in its stored position.

Abstract

Methods, computer systems, and computer storage media are provided for sorting and presenting a patient's medication order information by body system. A selection of a body system filter directed to a body system is received, and the patient's medication order information is accessed. The selected body system filter is applied to the patient's medication order information to generate a set of body-system specific medication order information. The body-system specific medication order information is presented on a body system view user interface

Abstract

The present invention provides a vehicle roller assembly for an extensible shade or barrier net, and an auto locking end cap assembly for a vehicle roller assembly. The end cap includes a mounting cap positioned at an end of a rotatable shade spindle. The cap body has an end plate and is reciprocable between a retracted position and an extended position. A coupling member having a finger member is positioned at least partially within the end cap assembly and has a cutout region proximate an end. When the cap body is moved toward its retracted position, the cutout region is exposed, and capable of engaging a portion of a securing member in a vehicle interior. A biasing member biases the cap body toward its extended position, engaging two elements of a locking means. The locking means includes a boss and a cavity, a mating of which secures the cap body against lateral displacement and axial rotation.

Claim

What is claimed: 1. An end cap assembly for an extensible compartment barrier in a vehicle comprising: a cap member movable axially from a first position to a second position; a biasing member biasing said cap member toward said first position; a finger member at least partially within said cap member, and defining a recess proximate an anterior end of said finger member, said anterior end protruding from an end face of said cap member at said second position; a mounting member having a region formed substantially complementary to said recess; said cap member engageable with said mounting member at said first position, a portion of said mounting member matingly engaging a slot defined by said end face of said cap member. 2. The end cap assembly of claim 1 wherein said slot is partially coextensive with an aperture in said cap body. 3. The end cap assembly of claim 2 wherein said mounting member is at least partially arcuate. 4.
