Abstract: A permeable mat provides a two-state mat; one in which the mat has an impervious layer when laid flat during use, so water gets captured by an upper fabric layer. And a second state in which the mat becomes permeable when it is rolled and tumbled in the washer and drier, to allow the through-flow of air and water to effectively clean and dry the mat. A pattern of permeable elements may be included as part of the rubber backing to improve washing and drying by allowing easier passage through the mat by water and washing chemicals, allowing water drainage through the rubber layer during spinning cycle, reducing the need for very high spinning forces and speeds, allowing for air flow through the mat layers, improving drying time and efficiencies and lowering the structure of the mat unit, thereby allowing for better unrolling and tumbling during washing cycles.

Abstract: A re-facing apparatus for pipe threaded connections having independent machining stations for pin-end (male) and box-end (female) threaded connections. Among other benefits, the machining stations can be used to restore torque shoulders by machining a face of each shoulder using custom spindle and cross slides. The pipe connection re-facing apparatus can be set up over existing pipe racks and allows pipe sections to be rolled through for processing. For example, the apparatus of the present invention can be installed and utilized in proximity to a pipe storage and inspection facility, such that out-of-specification pipe connections can be re-faced without incurring significant transportation and/or machine shop expenses.

Abstract: Remote sensing techniques are being increasingly used for periodic structural health monitoring of vast infrastructures. Conventionally, analysis of visual and other signals captured from sensing devices are used to diagnose faults. Such data collection and analysis is expensive in terms of both computational overheads as well as towards robotic maneuvering of data collection systems, such as a UAV. In accordance with the present disclosure, the data acquisition system is modeled as an intelligent situated agent that autonomously controls data gathering and analysis activities through a cognitive cycle of perception-recognition-action, in order to optimize the cost of efforts in identifying faults that may exist. Also, a reactive, economical planning algorithm around Qualitative Bayesian Network (QBN) that controls the sequence of data collection and analysis has been implemented.
