Abstract: An apparatus and method for securing a rivet to a plate having a frontside and opposed backside with tight clearance. A ductile rivet is inserted through a hole in the plate. The apparatus has a driver with a cone which intercepts a hollow, internally threaded shank of a rivet. An externally threaded fastener is inserted through the diver and threadably engaged with the rivet. The threaded fastener is rotated, compressively drawing the driver into and deforming the rivet circumferentially around the hole. A wrench may be inserted against the backside to hold the hat of the rivet in nonrotatable engagement, thereby enabling the threaded fastener to be axially drawn into the rivet in response to rotation of the threaded fastener relative to the rivet.

Abstract: A method of forming a custom air filter is disclosed. In accordance with the method, a first air filter having a first size is provided. A length of support material is also provided and includes a substrate covered with a pressure sensitive adhesive, over which a release layer is disposed. At least a first portion of the first air filter is cut and removed to form a nascent air filter. The length of support material is manipulated to have a channel configuration, and the release layer is removed to expose the pressure sensitive adhesive of the length of support material. The length of support material with the channel configuration is pressed into engagement with the nascent air filter such that the exposed pressure sensitive adhesive bonds to the nascent air filter, thereby forming the custom air filter.

Abstract: A method for determining the likelihood that a pixel in a video image sequence represents true motion in the image. Light from a scene is captured to yield an original image having a sequence of frames. A prototype image is created from the original image as a geometrically accurate representation of the scene which is substantially free of contamination. A tilt variance-Gaussian mixture model and/or multi-variate Gaussian model, based upon optical turbulence statistics associated with the scene, is developed. Each pixel in the original image sequence of frames is evaluated against the prototype image using a probability density function, to yield a likelihood that the respective pixel represents true motion.
