  • Publication number: 20260109480
    Abstract: An anti-rotation tool includes a shaft, a head, a roller band, and a locking device. The head is disposed at the shaft. The head forms a cradle. The cradle forms a component mating surface. The roller band extends between and to a proximal band end and a distal band end. The proximal band end is fixedly mounted to the head. The roller band includes a first lateral chain, a second lateral chain, a plurality of pins, and a plurality of rollers. Each of the plurality of pins extends between and to the first lateral chain and the second lateral chain. Each of the plurality of rollers is rotatably mounted on a respective one of the plurality of pins. The plurality of rollers form a component mating interface. The locking device is positionable in a locked condition or an unlocked condition with the roller band.

  • Patent number: 10811135
    Abstract: Apparatus, systems, and methods to improve automated identification, monitoring, processing, and control of a condition impacting a patient using image data and artificial intelligence classification are disclosed. An example image processing apparatus includes an artificial intelligence classifier to: process first image data for a patient from a first time to determine a first classification result indicating a first severity of a condition for the patient; and process second image data for the patient from a second time to determine a second classification result indicating a second severity of the condition for the patient. The example image processing apparatus includes a comparator to compare the first classification result and the second classification result to determine a change and a progression of the condition associated with the change. The example image processing apparatus includes an output generator to trigger an action when the progression corresponds to a worsening of the condition.

  • Patent number: 8542881
    Abstract: A system and method related thereto, for automatically inspecting at least one tire of a moving vehicle. The system includes an image acquisition device including at least one camera. The camera acquires multiple real-time images of at least one tire of a moving vehicle. As the tire of the vehicle enters a field of view of the camera, the camera component is configured to photograph and transmit the multiple photographs of the at least one tire. A light source illuminates the at least one tire of the vehicle in the field of view of the camera, and the light application may be synchronous with the imaging performed by the camera. A computer image processing component receives the multiple images transmitted from the camera and analyzes the multiple images using a detection program. The computer imaging processing component analyzing the photographs and provides an inspection analysis of each at least one tire.
