  • Patent number: 10549642
    Abstract: A system for providing mechanical and electrical power in a vehicle or other engine-driven platform includes a first engine having a first power rating and a second engine having a second power rating that is less than the first power rating. The system further includes a first generator (for example, an alternator) for generating electrical power for a load operation (such as vehicle propulsion), and a second generator (for example, a DFIG) for generating fixed frequency electrical power; both generators are operatively connected to and powered by the first and/or second engines. The first and/or second engines may be selected to power the first generator for generating power for vehicle propulsion or another load operation depending upon situational power requirements of the engine-driven platform.

  • Patent number: 10548564
    Abstract: Systems and methods for processing ultrasound data are provided. The disclosure includes using at least one computer hardware processor to perform obtaining ultrasound data generated based, at least in part, on one or more ultrasound signals from an imaged region of a subject, the ultrasound data comprising fundamental frequency ultrasound data and harmonic frequency ultrasound data, calculating shadow intensity data based at least in part on the harmonic frequency ultrasound data, generating, based at least in part on the fundamental frequency ultrasound data, an indication of bone presence in the imaged region, generating, based at least in part on the shadow intensity data, an indication of tissue presence in the imaged region, and generating an ultrasound image of the subject at least in part by combining the indication of bone presence and the indication of tissue presence.

  • Publication number: 20200033252
    Abstract: A system for measuring the voltage potential across test coupons, reference cells and metal structures is disclosed. The system may evaluate the amount of cathodic protection that may be applied to the metal structure. A series resistor may be configured between at least one of the test coupons and the metal structure so that the at least one test coupon may be at a lower voltage potential than the metal structure.

  • Publication number: 20190339241
    Abstract: An apparatus detects a target gas in ambient air. The apparatus has a GC column, a sensor downstream of the GC column, a pump, a gas storage chamber and a pneumatic circuit. The pneumatic circuit has two states. In a first state, the pump draws in ambient air and supplies it to the gas storage chamber to store ambient air under pressure within the chamber, while trapping a sample of ambient air within the pneumatic circuit. In the second state, the gas storage chamber is connected to the GC column to cause pressurised air drawn from the storage chamber to act as a carrier gas to advance the trapped sample through the GC column and sensor. A filter is filters out any target gas present in the air entering into, or the air drawn from, the storage chamber, to avoid the presence of any target gas in the carrier gas.
