Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for the generation and interactive display of three-dimensional (3D) models that accurately represent buildings and other large, complex objects possessing both internal and external features. More specifically, an exterior mesh can be generated that captures all the external features of the building. An interior mesh can also be generated that captures all the internal features of the building. The exterior mesh and the interior mesh may be layered and combined using geographical coordinates (e.g., global positioning system (GPS) data) in order to create a combined mesh that can be used to render a 3D model of the object. Any images taken of external or internal features may also be appended to the 3D model or even overlaid on the 3D model (like textures), based on the location and directional view associated with those images.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for ceasing transmission repetition. One apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits data to a base unit in a first transmission time interval (“TTI”). Here, the data is configured for transmission with a predetermined number of repetitions. The apparatus includes a receiver that receives a control signal from the base unit in a second TTI. The apparatus includes a processor that determines whether the control signal corresponds to the data and, in response to the control signal corresponding to the data, determines whether to cease at least one transmission repetition of the data before the number of repetitions reaches the predetermined number.

Abstract: Expandable intervertebral spacer system having a top plate and a bottom plate which are separated and held apart a changeable distance forming a cage. The plates are held apart by four locking mechanisms in the cage at or near the corners or the periphery of the plates, leaving the cavity of the cage substantially unobstructed. Each locking mechanism is made of two saw-toothed posts that cooperate to lock the top plate a desired distance from the bottom plate. The saw-tooth posts are biased against each other with a spring. Once the spacer is implanted in a patient with a removable insertion tool, the top and bottom plates are forced apart incrementally, one saw tooth at a time, in a ratchet-like motion, using a removable expansion mechanism. Optionally, each stanchion is surrounded by a sheath to prevent bone particles and other debris from interfering with the mating of the saw teeth.

Abstract: A nozzle cap spacer for a hydrant nozzle cap includes a spacer body defining an outer body edge, the spacer body defining a spacer body thickness; and a resilient first spacer spring arm extending from the outer body edge and biased away from the spacer body in an extended orientation, wherein the first spacer spring arm defines a first spring arm thickness; wherein the first spring arm thickness of the first spacer spring arm is equal to the spacer body thickness of the spacer body.

Abstract: A method for estimating the weight of loads carried by implements may include controlling an implement subject to actual weighing conditions to lift a load and receiving an input indicative of a sensed force associated with lifting the load. The method may further include determining a correlation value indicative of a correlation between first and second force values for lifting a given load with the implement as a function of the actual weighing conditions and as a function of nominal weighing conditions, respectively, where at least one of the actual weighing conditions differs from at least one of the nominal weighing conditions.

Abstract: A computing system includes a memory device, a persistent storage device, and a processor. The persistent storage device includes a filesystem having filesystem objects and a protection system stored thereon. The protection system includes a filesystem minifilter driver and a protection service. The minifilter driver intercepts an input/output (I/O) event directed to a target filesystem object and extracts system event metadata from the I/O event. The system event metadata includes an identifier of the target filesystem object. The system event metadata is transmitted to the protection service and recorded in a record file. A backup copy of the target filesystem object created. The I/O event is released after recordation of the system event metadata and creation of the backup copy, thereby enabling the I/O event to be performed on the target filesystem object. During a system restore operation, the target filesystem object is replaced with the backup copy.
