  • GENERATOR
    Publication number: 20200395525
    Abstract: A generator configured to generate electrical energy from heat, for example from sunlight. The generator includes: a moveable carrier connected to a kinetic-electric converter; and a stationary support. One of the carrier and the support is provided with a magnet and the other is provided with separate ferromagnetic elements. A heat supply is associated with the one of the carrier and the support that is provided with the magnet to direct heat onto successively at least one of the ferromagnetic elements to warm the ferromagnetic element to above a Curie temperature thereof, to thereby impart reciprocal movement of the carrier relative to the support through magnetic interaction between the magnet and the ferromagnetic elements. A cooling system such as a thermo-electric generator or a heat sink is configured for cooling at least one of the magnet and the ferromagnetic elements.

  • Robust motion filtering for real-time video surveillance
    Patent number: 10861302
    Abstract: A video monitoring method that involves determining motion changes in a set of video frames to find potential objects is described. One or more bounding boxes are defined around the potential objects. These bounding boxes are spatially and temporally filtered to eliminate potential object candidates, with only potential objects in the bounding boxes remaining after filtering being classified or identified.

  • Methods and systems for measuring periodic structures using multi-angle x-ray reflectance scatterometry (XRS)
    Patent number: 10859519
    Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring periodic structures using multi-angle X-ray reflectance scatterometry (XRS) are disclosed. For example, a method of measuring a sample by X-ray reflectance scatterometry involves impinging an incident X-ray beam on a sample having a periodic structure to generate a scattered X-ray beam, the incident X-ray beam simultaneously providing a plurality of incident angles and a plurality of azimuthal angles. The method also involves collecting at least a portion of the scattered X-ray beam.

  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF DYNAMIC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DATA
    Publication number: 20200363487
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing automated reconstruction of a dynamic MRI dataset that is acquired without a fixed temporal resolution. On one or more image quality metrics (IQMs) are obtained by processing a subset of the acquired dataset. In one example implementation, at each stage of an iterative process, one or more IQMs of the image subset is computed, and the parameters controlling the reconstruction and/or the strategy for data combination are adjusted to provide an improved or optimal image reconstruction. Once the IQM of the image subset satisfies acceptance criteria based on an estimate of the overall temporal fidelity of the reconstruction, the full reconstruction can be performed, and the estimate of the overall temporal fidelity can be reported based on the IQM at the final iteration.

  • Method for altering melt flow ratio of ethylene polymers
    Patent number: 10836851
    Abstract: A method for altering the melt flow ratio (MFR) of ethylene copolymers made in a gas phase reactor using a supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst treated with a catalyst modifier. The method involves changing the amount of the catalyst modifier added to the supported Ziegler-Natta polymerization catalyst to effect changes in the MFR of the resulting polymer.

  • Transfer line exchanger
    Patent number: 10816111
    Abstract: The present invention provides a transfer line exchanger which is optimized for one or more objective functions of interest such as pressure drop, erosion rate, fouling, coke deposition and operating costs. The transfer line exchanger is designed by computer modeling a transfer line exchanger in which the cross section of flow path is substantially circular and modeling the operation of the transfer line under industrial conditions to validate the model design and its operation. Then iteratively the model design is deformed and the operation of the deformed part is modeled and compared to values obtained with other deformed models until the value of the objective function is optimized (e.g. at an extreme) or the change in the objective function is approaching zero.
