Abstract: Provided is a cable and joint inspection system, process and computer readable medium enabling cable and joint inspection functions. The system includes an x-ray cabinet containing an x-ray camera and positioning equipment. The x-ray camera is positionable to obtain an x-ray image of a portion of a cable or a cable joint. The x-ray images are evaluated to determine whether a bounded area is within the x-ray image. The processor may measure the size of the bounded area in the x-ray image based on a number of pixels forming the bounded area. In response to the size of the bounded area being greater than an inclusion or void allowance threshold, the processor may flag the bounded area as an inclusion or void and flag pixel locations in the x-ray image. The flagged pixel locations correspond to a physical location within the portions of the cable or the cable joint.

Abstract: A system for creating customized root canal obturation cores is provided. The system receives a 3D image data set representing one or more teeth. The system then displays an image of a tooth of the one or more teeth. After receiving at least one user input, the system constructs a 3D output data set from the 3D image data set based on the at least one user input. Next, the system converts the constructed 3D output data set to control data. A computer controlled manufacturing system can use the 3D output data set to manufacture a customized root canal obturation core.

Abstract: A core for obturating a root canal includes a body that has a pre-formed contour that closely matches a contour of the root canal. When the core is inserted in the root canal with or without sealer, there are essentially no voids in the root canal. A method of making a customized root canal obturation core includes generating a three-dimensional image of a root canal. The method also includes manufacturing the customized root canal obturation core based on the three-dimensional image of the root canal. The customized root canal obturation core has a preformed contour that closely matches a contour of the root canal such that when the core is inserted in the root canal with or without sealer there are essentially no voids in the root canal.

Abstract: This disclosure shows how a time series of measurements of an evolving system can be processed to create an “inner” time series that is unaffected by any instantaneous invertible, possibly nonlinear transformation of the measurements. An inner time series contains information that does not depend on the nature of the sensors, which the observer chose to monitor the system. Instead, it encodes information that is intrinsic to the evolution of the observed system. Because of its sensor-independence, an inner time series may produce fewer false negatives when it is used to detect events in the presence of sensor drift. Furthermore, if the observed physical system is comprised of non-interacting subsystems, its inner time series is separable; i.e., it consists of a collection of time series, each one being the inner time series of an isolated subsystem.

Abstract: Techniques are described to mitigate ad stalking and other user concerns resulting from user-targeted advertising. A user may be informed of advertising information by a process in which an advertising server receives a request for an ad. The request may have been generated in response to a user request for a landing web page. An ad may be selected based on user information available to the advertising server, where the user information is associated with the user and describes behavior and/or attributes and/or preferences associated with the user. Text about how the ad was selected may be incorporated into the ad. Such text may describe the user information used to select the ad. The selection-disclosing text may be incorporated in the ad in a form that is displayable to the user by a browser. The ad may then be transmitted for display in the landing web page.

Abstract: A method includes advertising a policy characterizing communication properties supported by a node. The policy may be distributed to another node in response to a request for the policy. Policy expressions in the policy include one or more assertions that may be grouped and related to each other in a plurality of ways. A system includes a policy generator for generating at least one policy characterizing properties of a node. A policy retriever retrieves a policy from another node and a message generator generates a message to the other node, wherein the message conforms to the policy from the other node.

Abstract: Implementations are described and claimed herein to detect an invalid policy that may reside in a cache at a client. An expired policy is removed from cache and a current policy is requested. Otherwise the cached policy may be used. The client indicates which policy it is using by generating a policy digest, including, in compressed form, one or more assertions. If the host determines the policy digest is invalid, the host issues an invalid digest fault. If the policy digest is valid, but the assertions included in the policy digest are invalid, the host issues an invalid policy fault. In either case, the client is notified that the cached policy is no longer valid and that a current policy should be requested.

Abstract: A method includes retrieving an intermediate node policy characterizing communication properties supported by an intermediate node, the intermediate node being between a source node and a destination node in a communication path. The method includes forming a first policy-compliant message in accordance with the intermediate node policy, the first policy-compliant message including a request for a destination node policy characterizing communication properties supported by the destination node. A system includes a policy retriever comparing a source policy to one to an intermediate policy to determine whether the source policy is compatible with the intermediate policy. A message generator generates a policy request message by applying the intermediate policy to a request for a policy related to a destination node.
