  • Patent number: 11348220
    Abstract: A system for detecting damage to a glass surface particularly vehicle glazing panels such as vehicle windscreens. The system uses a sensor unit disposed proximate the surface and a processor in communication with the sensor unit. The processor is configured to analyse data received from the sensor unit in order to determine the integrity of the surface and a communication unit is configured to output a signal in response to the processor determining that the surface has been damaged. For vehicle glass the system is preferably integrated into the vehicle management and control systems such that the system is active when the vehicle is active or moving. The management and or control system may monitor for instances or situations when changes, such as above threshold changes, occur in order to produce an output warning signal.

  • Publication number: 20220031401
    Abstract: A system and related methods of preventing wrong-site surgeries and blade-related injuries to OR personnel, that includes a computer software system in combination with an electronic device. The system is configured to (a) receive surgical planning data that is related to a surgical procedure associated with a patient, including one or more audio files, (b) play the recorded audio files at a later time, and (c) provide, on a display screen, an interactive presentation that indicates (i) instructions to conduct an electronically-recorded “time-out” to confirm various details before starting the intended surgical procedure, and (ii) upon receiving indication of a successfully completed “time-out”, displaying a notification that the verification has been recorded in the electronic profile. Data can be captured throughout the medical environment (from “decision-to-incision” and beyond) to assess wrong-site surgery data (including “near miss” data) and enable a host of analytics on wrong-site surgery prevention.

  • Publication number: 20210350524
    Abstract: An example embodiment of the present invention provides a method of assessing the condition of a pavement site, comprising: (a) acquiring aerial images of the site from above, for example by an unmanned aerial system (UAS); (b) using photogrammetry tools to generate an orthomosaic that represents the airport pavement surface; (c) using image analysis tools and machine learning methods to determine the location and extent of defects in the pavement; (c) producing an image representation of the site and the defects, where the location and extent of defects are discernible from the image; (d) using software application techniques to store and present defect data and other related information for client-side user access.

  • Publication number: 20210308684
    Abstract: In a reaction or growth monitoring system, the temperature of a reaction vessel is controlled using heat from a semiconductor sensor placed in direct or thermal contact with the reaction vessel. The heat from the semiconductor sensor is controlled by monitoring the temperature at the reaction vessel and by controlling accordingly, the operation of the sensor and/or by controlling a cooling mechanism in thermal contact with the semiconductor sensor. Additional heat may be provided to the reaction vessel via electromagnetic radiation from an electromagnetic illumination source.

  • Patent number: 10921463
    Abstract: Systems and methods are directed toward determining a vehicle orientation based on sensor information. Sensors are positioned along a vehicle body that may be evaluated to determine corresponding values between matching sensor types. When a threshold of sensors having corresponding values is met, the information from those sensors is combined with additional sensor information to determine a vehicle orientation. As a result, faulty sensor information may be disregarded without eliminating information from operational sensors.
