Abstract: A method and system for correcting alignment of images received from cameras by estimating camera alignment parameters based on perturbative correction such that corrected alignment parameters satisfy pairwise epipolar constraints as well as global loop closure constraints. The corrected alignment parameters are estimated as a Least-Mean-Square solution to a system of linear equations and an estimation algorithm may be implemented as a part of a Random Sample Consensus criterion estimation for improved robustness. The method and system is fast and efficient and may be implemented in a real-time system.

The medial portion includes a plurality of divaricated cut sections based on at least one divaricating pattern cut into the tube. The at least one divaricating pattern preferably includes an upper tapered section and a lower tapered section such that a plurality of tapered slots are formed after the tube is cut and when the compressible electrical contact is substantially compressed.

Abstract: A method for limiting an air charge of an internal combustion engine. A maximum permissible pre-controlled charge and an exhaust-gas temperature-dependent delta charge are determined by means of a PI controller. A total permissible charge is determined on the basis of the maximum permissible pre-controlled charge and the exhaust-gas temperature-dependent delta-charge, and the air charge of the internal combustion engine is limited by the total permissible charge.

Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a system to generate and cause display of a specially configured graphical user interface to receive and present collections of images. According to certain example embodiments, an image analysis system: receives an image file from a client device; generates a hash value based on the image file; performs a comparison of the hash value with a list that comprises a collection of hash values; identifies a match to the hash value among the collection of hash values; assigns a label to the image file in response to identifying the match among the collection of image files from the list; and indexes the image file at a memory location identified by the label assigned to the image file.

Abstract: Methods, devices, apparatuses and systems are disclosed for performing mammography, such as utilizing tomosynthesis in combination with breast biopsy.

Abstract: A system and method of identifying and responding to a GPS denial of service includes: configuring a mode S transponder for transmitting a GPS time-of-day message as a downlink format message using a BDS register, and configuring an aircraft surveillance system for receiving one or more GPS time-of-day messages transmitted as a downlink format message. The surveillance system compares the received time-of-day message(s) from the aircraft to a comparison time of day, and validates reception of authentic GPS signals by the aircraft when the received time-of-day message is within a threshold amount of the comparison time of day. The comparison time of day may be the GPS time of day of one of a plurality of aircraft in the surveillance volume or may be the GPS time of day determined by the aircraft surveillance system. An indicator on the transponder indicates counterfeit GPS signals, permitting mitigation od induced navigation error.

Abstract: A collapsible tent with crossbars that are formed of multiple sections that include a hinge with an axis of rotation misaligned with the central axis of the crossbar, wherein each of the support poles includes mounting brackets that allow portions of adjacent crossbars to rotate in a direction orthogonal to each other. Embodiments of the collapsible tent may include four support poles, four crossbars, four hinges, and eight mounting brackets.

Abstract: A bag and tarp combination that can be moved from a usage position to a storage position by folding the fabric along a first axis, folding the fabric along a second axis, rolling portions the fabric in a first direction along a third axis, and rolling portions of the fabric in a second direction along the third axis.
