Abstract: Systems and Methods for RF Emitter Location with automatic UAS array reconfiguration. The system includes at least a first emitter of electromagnet emissions. There is an array controller and, in some situations, at least one array follower. The controller(s) each have a receiver to receive signals from the first emitter. The controller calculates the location of the first emitter based upon communications with the first emitter and any array follower.

Abstract: A breather is disclosed. The breather may have a breather housing, a desiccant material, and a moisture indicator. The breather housing may be configured to receive at least an air flow containing moisture. The desiccant material may be contained within the breather housing, and the desiccant material may be enclosed by a breather wall. The moisture indicator may be located within the breather housing, and the moisture indicator may be positioned between the desiccant material and an internal side of the breather wall. The moisture indicator may provide a visible representation of an amount of moisture adsorbed by the desiccant breather. The visible representation of the moisture indicator may be visually observable through the breather wall. The desiccant material may be configured to adsorb up to about forty percent (40%) of the desiccant material's weight in moisture.

Abstract: Briefly, the present invention relates, in one embodiment, to a gasket for sealing a filter housing to a filter mount. The gasket may have an upper body and a lower body which seals between the filter housing and filter head. The gasket may include chamfered surfaces to allow for properly sealing against manufacturing tolerances, and may include an annular groove which receives the filter housing and stabilizes the gasket during installation.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for a breather for a reservoir is provided, including a housing including a plurality of valves, the plurality of valves including (i) at least one valve in a first configuration configured to permit fluid communication from an interior portion of the housing with air outside the reservoir, and (ii) at least one valve in a second configuration configured to permit air to selectively pass between outside the breather and an interior portion of the breather. The breather further includes a plurality of first openings in the housing configured to be in fluid communication with air outside of the reservoir, a second opening of the housing configured to be in fluid communication with air inside the reservoir, and desiccant positioned within the housing.

Abstract: An implant for occluding a flow through a vessel may comprise a body member having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate rod portion extending between the first end portion and the second end portion and a mesh having base layer and a plurality of micro-pillars extending from a first surface of the base layer. The mesh may be disposed about at least a portion of the body such that the micro-pillars extending generally radially outward from the body member. The plurality of micro-pillars may be configured to extend into an adjacent tissue.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are provided for a system for a smart liquid information indicator. A liquid reservoir may include a level indicator extending outwardly from the liquid reservoir. An inspection device for inspecting a liquid in a level indicator may be coupled to the level indicator. The inspection device may include a housing and a coupler coupling the housing to the level indicator of the liquid reservoir. At least a portion of the level indicator is received within an interior space of the housing when the housing is coupled to the level indicator. An imaging section may obtain at least one set of inspection data relating to the at least a portion of the level indicator. A communication section may transmit a representation of the at least one set of inspection data from the inspection device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates, in one embodiment, to an oil sight apparatus. The oil sight may include a sight body with a chamber defined in the sight body. The chamber may include a top, a bottom, and a sidewall spanning from the top to the bottom. A separator may be located in the chamber. The separator may be configured to sink in oil and to float in water such that the separator may rest at an oil-water separation line in the chamber.

Abstract: A communication session is established between a first communication device and a second communication device. The communication session comprises a first dialog between an application server and the first communication device. The first communication device uses a first network address in the first dialog. In response to an event, such as a first network interface failing, a SIP INVITE with replaces header message is received by the application server with a second address of the first communication device. In response to receiving the SIP INVITE with replaces header message from the first communication device with a second address of the first communication device, the first dialog between the application server and the first device is reestablished using the second network address.

Abstract: A first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) INVITE message is received to establish a communication session where a communication application, in a first communication endpoint that is used to establish the communication session has been suspended or is not running. A first message is sent that causes the communication application to become active. A second message is received from that indicates that the communication application is active. Various processes are then used to establish the communication session with the previously suspended or not running communication application.

Abstract: Examples of the present invention utilize principal component analysis (PCA) to detect cough sounds in an audio stream. Comparison of all or portions of the audio stream with a cough model may be conducted. The cough model may include a number of basis vectors may be based on initial portions of known coughs. The initial portions may be non-user specific, and accordingly the cough model may be used to detect coughs across individuals. Moreover, examples of the present invention may reconstruct the cough sounds from stored features such that the cough sounds are reconstructed but the reconstruction techniques used may be insufficient to reconstruct speech sounds that may also have been recorded, which may increase user privacy.
