Abstract: A joist assembly system that is structured for dynamic retrieval of components, dynamic and precise positioning and location of retrieved components, assembly of the components to form a joist, and delivery of the assembled joist. The joist assembly system has a plurality of material handling systems, a plurality of welding systems, and a rigging table system. The material handling systems are structured to load and position the components such as chords and webs onto the rigging table. The rigging table in turn supports the chords or webs. Subsequently, the plurality of welding systems weld the webs to the chords to form the joist.

Abstract: A system and method of capturing electroencephalograms (EEG) in real-time are disclosed. The system includes an EEG controller. A user wears or puts on the carrier. The carrier includes a casing for receiving the EEG controller, and includes a plate for connecting an image capturing unit. The EEG controller connects to cables having EEG sensors placed over the head of the user. The EEG sensors collect EEG signals and send them to the EEG controller via the cables. The image capturing unit captures images or video surrounding the user. The EEG controller captures data from the EEG sensors and the image capturing unit to monitor and evaluate the clinical status of the user.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for image editing. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image editing system for perform image object replacement or image region replacement (e.g., an image editing system for replacing an object or region of an image with an object or region from another image). For example, the image editing system may replace a sky portion of an image with a more desirable sky portion from a different replacement image. The original image and the replacement image (e.g., the image including a desirable object or region) include layers of masks. A sky from the replacement image may replace the sky of the image to produce an aesthetically pleasing composite image.

For example, the image editing system may replace a sky portion of an image with a more desirable sky portion from a different replacement image. According to some embodiments described herein, thumbnails, region location information, and image metadata from multiple preset images can be stored together and loaded for presentation and selection of a preset image for replacing a region of an image. Once a preset image (e.g., an image with a replacement sky) is selected, a high-resolution version of the image can be loaded and used to generate a composite image.

For example, the image editing system may replace a sky portion of an image with a more desirable sky portion from a different replacement image. According to some embodiments described herein, real-time color harmonization based on the visible sky region may be used to produce more natural colorization. In some examples, horizon-aware sky alignment and placement with advanced padding may also be used. For example, the horizons of the original image and the replacement image may be automatically detected and aligned, and color harmonization may be performed based on the aligned images.

Abstract: A deployable lead line anchor point system for an aerodynamic decelerator on an aerial vehicle, the system including a housing that is structured to attach to the aerial vehicle and store the aerodynamic decelerator in a stored state prior to deployment, the housing including a base that is structured to removably mount the housing to the aerial vehicle, and an inflatable tube that is stored in the housing and configured to extend from the housing and deploy the aerodynamic decelerator away from the aerial vehicle in response to inflation of the inflatable tube, the inflatable tube having a first end with a fluid port, and a second end, the first end structured to connect to the housing and the second end having a connector structured to anchor the lead line on the aerodynamic decelerator to the inflatable tube, preventing entanglement of the decelerator with the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: An assembly for use with an aerodynamic decelerator for an aerial vehicle, such as a parachute, the assembly having a lead line with a first end and a second end, with the first end structured for attachment to the aerial vehicle, and an energy absorbing assembly having a first end attached to the second end of the shock cord and a second end structured for attachment to the parachute, the energy absorbing assembly in one implementation including an elongate flexible filament having first and second ends attached, the first end attached to the lead line and the second end attached to a decelerator. The first and second ends are attached to each other with rip-stitching, the first and second ends structured to break apart from each other in response to a load exerted by deployment of the parachute.
