  • Patent number: 10800984
    Abstract: A process for hydrotreating a hydrocarbon residue stream is provided. The process comprises hydrotreating the hydrocarbon residue stream over a demetallation catalyst to demetallize the hydrocarbon residue stream to provide a demetallized hydrocarbon residue stream reduced in metals and sulfur concentration. The demetallized hydrocarbon residue stream is separated in a hot separator to provide an overhead vapor stream comprising hydrogen and a bottoms liquid stream. The bottoms liquid stream is split into a first liquid stream and a second liquid stream comprising low sulfur fuel oil. The second liquid stream is recovered as a low sulfur fuel oil product stream. The first liquid stream is hydrotreated over a desulfurization catalyst in the presence of at least a portion of the overhead vapor stream to provide a desulfurized hydrocarbon residue stream. The present process provides low sulfur fuel oil product stream comprising from about 0.3 wt % to about 1.5 wt % sulfur.

  • Patent number: 10805600
    Abstract: Methods, devices and systems are disclosed for improved depth perception in stereoscopic night vision devices. Among these are embodiments for aligning information overlays in the stereo view with associated objects, and for generating stereo information from single lenses or intensifiers. In some illustrative embodiments, a camera and position sensor are provided for at least two viewers, e.g., a pilot and a copilot, such that when a scene overlaps between viewers, the system produces a stereoptic scene, in which the users can more accurately determine a difference in depth between two or more distant objects. An illustrative binocular night vision system uses a high-resolution depth map to present binocular images to a user. In some embodiments, supplementary content can be overlaid, with an appropriate binocular disparity that is based on the depth map.

  • Patent number: 10803362
    Abstract: A system and method of automated classification of rock types includes: partitioning, by a processing device, an image into partitions; extracting, by the processing device, sub-images from each of the partitions; first-level classifying, by an automated classifier, the sub-images into corresponding first classes; and second-level classifying, by the processing device, the partitions into corresponding second classes by, for each partition of the partitions, selecting a most numerous one of the corresponding first classes of the sub-images extracted from the partition. A method of displaying automated classification results on a display device is provided. The method includes: receiving, by a processing device, an image partitioned into partitions and classified into corresponding classes; and manipulating, by the processing device, the display device to display the image together with visual identification of the partitions and their corresponding classes.

  • Patent number: 10800466
    Abstract: A dual motion tailgate is configured to undergo two distinct motions, each with advantages depending on circumstances. The tailgate can undergo a rotation (i.e., drop) motion as well as a swing down motion via one or more linkages and corresponding latches. The swing down motion allows closer access to the bed, and the tailgate extends less far from the rear of the vehicle as compared to the drop motion. Latches constrain one or more motions of the tailgate, allowing a desired motion of the tailgate. The motions may be manually controlled, or actuator controlled. When automatically controlled, a control system manages one or more latches and actuators to allow a desired motion of the tailgate.

  • Patent number: 10802901
    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be an embedded-system device. The embedded-system device determines a respective operational state of each of one or more threads of a process executing on the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores the respective operational state of each of the one or more threads in a thread state register in a memory of the embedded-system device. The embedded-system device stores information data associated with the respective operational state of each of the one or more threads in the thread state register. The embedded-system device determines that operation of at least one thread of the one or more threads is abnormal. The embedded-system device retrieves the stored operational states of the one or more threads from the thread state register in response to the determination. The embedded-system device outputs the retrieved operational states.
