Abstract: A system for monitoring medical conditions including pressure ulcers, pressure-induced ischemia and related medical conditions comprises at least one sensor adapted to detect one or more patient characteristic including at least position, orientation, temperature, acceleration, moisture, resistance, stress, heart rate, respiration rate, and blood oxygenation, a host for processing the data received from the sensors together with historical patient data to develop an assessment of patient condition and suggested course of treatment, including either suspending or adjusting turn schedule based on various types of patient movement. Compliance with Head-of-Bed protocols can also be performed based on actual patient position instead of being inferred from bed elevation angle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a surface repair and livery printing system and method. The method includes receiving an aircraft part having an altered surface image and selecting a repair process from one of a paint repair process, a decal repair process, or an inkjet repair process, based on characteristics of the altered surface image. The method also includes applying paint to the surface over the altered surface image. In response to selecting the decal repair process, the method includes printing a first image on a decal based on the characteristics of the altered surface image and a second image associated with the altered surface image and a step of applying the decal to the surface at least partially over the altered surface image. In response to selecting the inkjet repair process, the method includes performing the inkjet repair process to at least a portion of the surface based on the characteristics of the altered surface image.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an applicator for an adhesive primer. The applicator includes a tank configured to hold the adhesive primer. The applicator also includes a peristaltic pump, having an inlet and an outlet, and a spray nozzle. A first conduit extends from an interior of the tank to the inlet of the peristaltic pump, and a second conduit extends from an outlet of the peristaltic pump to the spray nozzle. Embodiments of the present disclosure also relate to a method of applying adhesive primer to a road surface using the applicator. In the method, the adhesive primer is pumped from the tank containing the adhesive primer through the peristaltic pump to the spray nozzle. Further, the adhesive primer is sprayed from the spray nozzle onto the road surface while the applicator moves across the road surface.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method and apparatus for ink jet printing an exterior surface of a vehicle including a reversibly moveable crossbeam mounted above an open pit; a first track located above the reversibly moveable crossbeam, a first reversibly moveable monument including a first serial robotic manipulator including a first end effector defining a first end effector range of motion based on fully extended reversible movement of the first serial robotic manipulator; a second track located in the open pit beneath the reversibly moveable crossbeam; a second reversibly moveable monument coupled to the second pair of rails, the second reversibly moveable monument including a second end effector defining a second end effector range of motion based on fully extended reversible movement of the second serial robotic manipulator. The first end effector range of motion overlaps the second end effector range of motion.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes a method and apparatus for changing livery on a vehicle. A method of inkjet printing an exterior surface of a vehicle, includes preparing at least a portion of the exterior surface of the vehicle in a first bay using crossflow or downflow air handling and using explosion protected equipment. That method includes inkjet printing at least the portion of the exterior surface of the vehicle in a second bay. This method includes clear-coating at least the portion of the exterior surface of the vehicle in a third bay using downflow or crossflow air handling, using air filtration and using explosion protected equipment.

Abstract: A safety system for providing a real-time health and safety assessment of a worker performing a task includes a telemetry and video database to store biometric telemetry data and video data of the worker performing the task, an environmental database to store environmental data associated with the worker performing the task, a threshold database to store a threshold for a safety parameter of the worker performing the task, a machine learning-based model to automatically determine the safety parameter of the worker based on the stored biometric telemetry data, video data, environmental data, and threshold, a dashboard to provide access to the stored biometric telemetry data, video data, environmental data, and threshold, and provide the real-time health and safety assessment of the worker based on the determined safety parameter, and a controller to control an operation of the safety system.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for behavior-based automated malware analysis and classification. Aspects relate to platforms and techniques which access a set of samples of malware, and extract or capture a set of low-level behavioral artifacts produced by those samples. The low-level artifacts can be used to organize or identify a set of features, based upon which the sample can be classified and/or clustered into different labels, groups, or categories. The artifacts and/or features can be analyzed by one or more selectable algorithms, whose accuracy, efficiency, and other characteristics can be compared to one another for purposes of performing a classification or clustering task. The algorithm(s) can be selected by a user to achieve desired run times, accuracy levels, and/or other effects.
