Abstract: Method for securing against tampering a testing device that includes a frame operatively situated on a person's head, a display assembly on the frame, a processor that controls content of the display assembly, and a reflective assembly coupled to the processor and arranged on the frame in a position at least partly in front of the person's eyes when the frame is on their head and which allows viewing of the display assembly's content. A reflective optical element is integrated into the reflective assembly on an inner side and reflects display assembly content to the person's eyes. A chassis intrusion detection (CID) layer of a CID system that detects intrusion into the device is arranged on an outer side of the reflective assembly. The CID system provides notification of intrusion attempts into the reflective assembly to cause, when such notification is provided, a change in use of the device.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for implementing condition-based actions in an aircraft. A flight plan received from a flight management system (FMS) is rendered on a display device. A condition and a condition-based action associated with avionic data at a point of interest selected from the flight plan is received via an onboard user device. Location data associated with the point of interest is received from at least one geospatial sensor. Current avionic data associated with the point of interest is received. A determination is made regarding whether the current avionic data fulfills the condition associated with the avionic data at the point of the interest. A notification associated with implementation of the condition-based action is displayed on the display device based on the determination.

Abstract: In well bores with included tubulars, it is often desirable to segregate a portion of the wellbore's pressure-driven fluid flowpath in the conduit portion formed by included tubulars to permit work to be completed in a pressure-controlled portion of that flowpath. The subassembly and included frangible device provided here does so with minimal exposure of seals to well fluid environments, and provides a field-adjustable variability to the pressure differentials required to open the conduit by removal of the frangible sealing device from the flowpath into which the subassembly is installed or included.

Abstract: A system and method for providing targeted crowd-based acoustic-prosodic and linguistic accommodation includes simultaneously detecting, with a multimedia device, individual facial images of a plurality of individuals and acoustic sounds from the plurality of individuals.

Abstract: A system for controlling lubricant flow to a component in a gas turbine engine includes a control valve, an electromechanical actuator, and an engine controller. The control valve includes a lubricant inlet that is in fluid communication with a pressurized lubricant source, a lubricant outlet is in fluid communication with the gas turbine engine component, and a valve element that is movable to a plurality of valve positions. The electromechanical valve actuator is coupled to the valve element and is responsive to actuator commands to position the valve element. The engine controller is coupled to receive a pressure sensor signal indicative of a compressor pressure in the gas turbine engine and, in response, determines a commanded valve element position and supplies the actuator commands to the electromechanical valve actuator that cause the electromechanical valve actuator to move the valve element to the commanded valve element position.

Abstract: An endless conveyer belt is stretched between drive and idle rollers. A carriage is arranged so as to reciprocate along the endless conveyer belt. A suction box is arranged between upper and lower belt portions of the endless conveyer belt and fixed to the carriage. A stopper plate is fixed to the carriage and extends across a conveyer surface and upward from the conveyer surface. A conveyance roller pair is arranged at the upstream end of the conveyer surface.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a vehicle attitude estimated as a function of predicted acceleration from the vehicle control system. In an illustrative example, a weighting module may dynamically combine IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) with sensor motion data motion profile information from the vehicle control system. The weighting module may receive the predicted acceleration information via a data link with the vehicle control system. The dynamic weighting of inputs may be processed by an attitude estimator. An estimated attitude may be supplied to a display device, for example, to represent a real-time spatial orientation of the vehicle with respect to the gravity vector.
