Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using prior radiotherapy treatment machine parameter trajectory files to determine or predict the machine parameter trajectory at treatment delivery for a new radiotherapy plan, and to quantify the corresponding dosimetric effect of the difference between these machine parameters and the original radiotherapy plan. A pre-treatment quality assurance may thereby be generated that requires no extra beam-on time and provides preemptive insight into the plan quality. The system may include a multi-leaf collimator configured to deliver a treatment plan to a subject and configured to interact with the computer-based algorithm and/or any associated equipment used to perform the quality assurance tasks.

Abstract: A behavior prediction apparatus specifies a first object that affects a behavior of a vehicle from objects present around the vehicle. The behavior prediction apparatus performs a prediction process of extracting a second object that affects a behavior of the first object among a plurality of objects present around the first object and predicting a behavior. The behavior prediction apparatus sets the extracted second object as a new first object, and performs a prediction process of extracting a new second object affecting the behavior of the new first object and predicting the behavior. The behavior prediction apparatus repeats the prediction process by a predetermined number of times. The behavior prediction apparatus predicts the behavior of the first object in the first prediction process based on the behavior of each of the second objects subjected to the prediction process.

Abstract: A vehicle behavior prediction device includes an objection detection device for detecting a position of an object, with respect to a host vehicle, located on the front side or the lateral side of the host vehicle, and a moving object traveling further than the object from the host vehicle, and an behavior prediction unit.

The behavior prediction unit presumes a detection-available period from a point when the moving object is detected to a point when the moving object enters the blind spot region in a case in which the moving object travels in a predetermined course after being detected by the objection detection device.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a four-dimensional imaging method for structural damage based on a time-invariant characteristic signal. The method first uses a probability statistical modeling method to describe the uncertainty distribution of the amplitude of each sampling point in the signal in the healthy state and the damaged state of the structure, respectively. Then the degree of difference between the two distributions at each point is measured to suppress the influence of the time-varying factor, highlight the influence of damage, and construct a time-invariant characteristic signal. Finally, the time-invariant characteristic signal of the pitch-catch channel is fused by using the guided wave imaging method to further enhance the influence of damage. Based on this, four-dimensional imaging is performed to achieve reliable and accurate location of structural damage.
