Abstract: A method of filtering a fluid includes flowing a fluid into a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a vessel defining a pressure chamber and a filter screen disposed within the vessel. The screen divides the pressure chamber into a first subchamber and a second subchamber. In addition, the method includes flowing the fluid from the first subchamber to the second subchamber, and controlling a first pressure of the first subchamber relative to a second pressure of the second subchamber to induce cavitation in the flowing fluid. Further, the method includes precipitating out dissolved impurities within the fluid during the cavitation.

Abstract: A method of filtering a fluid, including flowing a fluid from a first side of a filter member to a second side of the filter member, the fluid containing dissolved impurities. In addition, the method includes inducing fluid cavitation within the fluid to precipitate out at least a portion of the dissolved impurities. Further, the method includes controlling a pressure differential across the filter member. Still further, the method includes, maintaining or further inducing the fluid cavitation within the fluid in response to controlling the pressure differential. Related systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: An aircraft monitoring system includes multiple wireless aircraft sensors and multiple meta sensors mounted on-board an aircraft. Each wireless aircraft sensor is configured to sense an aircraft parameter. Each meta sensor is associated with an aircraft sensor and is configured to determine a location or orientation on the aircraft of the aircraft sensor. A data acquisition system mounted on-board the aircraft and connected to the multiple aircraft sensors and the multiple meta sensors can perform aircraft monitoring operations based on the sensed aircraft parameters and on a location or orientation of the aircraft sensors.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for the measurement, collection, and analysis of radio signals are provided. A transport host device, including an unmanned aerial vehicle, can transport a scanning device into desired locations for autonomously collecting radio data for a wireless network, thereby enabling the rapid interrogation and optimization the wireless network, including in locations and spatial areas where previously known systems and methods have been impractical or impossible.

Abstract: A system and method for collecting motor vehicle use, driving behavior or motor vehicle use and driving behavior data using a Bluetooth® low energy (“BLE”) device and a mobile communication device (“MCD”). One embodiment can automatically turn on the MCD Global Positioning System location services (“GPS”) and start the collection of such data when the MCD user is in a predetermined proximity of the motor vehicle and the vehicle is in motion as well as automatically turn off the GPS and stop data collection when the MCD is not in a predetermined proximity to the motor vehicle and BLE device and the motor vehicle stops moving.

Abstract: A method of digitally processing a digital image file comprising a print image and a non-print portion, in order to isolate the print image from the non-print port ion of the digital image file, comprising the steps of converting the digital image file to grayscale whereby a grayscale image is created, creating a blurred copy of the grayscale image whereby a blurred grayscale image is created, creating a composite image comprising the difference between the blurred grayscale image and the grayscale image, creating a negative image comprising the negative of the composite image, removing dithering from the negative image, resulting in a dithered image, normalizing the colorspace of the dithered image to black and white, replacing white pixels with transparent pixel information to form a processed print image, and saving the processed print image in an image file format with transparency support.
