  • Publication number: 20220319018
    Abstract: A computing device stores a predictive model generated by a neural network training engine. The computing device receives first and second two-dimensional (2D) thermal images comprising temperature measurements from respective first and second infrared (IR) sensors. The first and second images have the same size. An image capturing visual field of the second IR sensor partially overlaps with an image capturing visual field of the first IR sensor. The computing device executes a neural network using a predictive model for generating outputs based on inputs. The inputs comprise the temperature measurements of the first and second images. The outputs comprise horizontal and vertical shifts defining a translation of the second image with respect to the first image. An overlapping area in the first image, having a rectangular shape and overlapping with the second image, is determined using the horizontal and vertical shifts.

  • Patent number: 5908186
    Abstract: The hydraulic antivibration support has two rigid strength members interconnected by an elastomer body that has a thick bell-shaped wall, said wall defining a liquid-filled working chamber communicating with a compensation chamber via a narrow channel. The thick wall is of rectangular section and the elastomer body further includes a projection extending in the center of said wall and presenting four side faces each facing one of the sides of said thick wall. Two opposite side faces of the projection are concave in shape so that the projection has a narrow central portion between two thicker end portions.

  • Patent number: 5873565
    Abstract: An elastic support for a vibrating mass includes at least a first fixture, a second fixture and a block of elastic material bonded between the fixtures. The fixtures are capable of being subjected, as a result of excitation vibrations exerted on at least one of them, to relative vibrational displacements. At least one oscillator is fixed to one part of the block which is subjected to vibrations in phase opposition with those of one of the two fixtures. The "oscillator" function can be improved by incorporating a flexible circular comb in the block of elastic material, as well as by associating a decoupling slot in the block and a retaining ring preventing radial expansions of this block. The support is appropriate for fastening shock absorbers for vehicles.
