  • Patent number: 11151713
    Abstract: A method and a system are described for detection of anomalies in surfaces, such as pipes. The method includes receiving an input comprising surface material type and plurality of frames of a real-time video stream associated with the surface. The method includes eliminating unwanted frames based on magnitude of 2-Dimensional optical flow vectors of the plurality of frames. The method includes identifying potential anomaly frames based on contours in a dense map created using a magnitude of displacement of each pixel of a frame. The method includes detecting in real-time anomalies in anomaly frames from potential anomaly frames based on trained models selected from a Model Mapping Table. The method includes classifying anomalies in the anomaly frames into anomaly classes using one or more deep learning techniques. The method includes generating a health report comprising anomalies in anomaly frames associated with the surface and providing health report to a user.

  • Patent number: 8827882
    Abstract: A system for enhancing proprioception, balance, and coordination includes a frame, at least one foot pad having an integrated central rail for mating with the frame, where the integrated track allows for the connection of a plurality of different interchangeable attachments which connect with the frame on a mating track. The plurality of different interchangeable attachments includes a plurality of fulcrums having different shapes acting to alter the level of difficulty to increase a patient's mobility and balance.

  • Publication number: 20120091944
    Abstract: An apparatus for providing a low cost, quick, and convenient automobile jump starting system and method. The jump start system comprises an adapter suitable to receive at least one hand held power tool battery. The adapter in certain embodiments comprises conductive metallic spring clips for making electrical connection(s) between the tool battery and the adapter. The adapter further comprises a plurality of connectible gauge wires (serving as booster cables) each having biasing connectors (alligator clips). The distal ends of the gauge wire(s) may be removably connectible to the adapter or may be rigidly fixed to the adapter. The Jump Start Adapter System may also be removably connected to the vehicle battery using biasing connectors or may be hard wired to the vehicle electrical system eliminating the need for biasing connectors.
