Abstract: An inspection and measurement device includes a body defining a first planar face within a first bounded area, a first reference feature disposed on the first planar face within the first bounded area and corresponding with a first measurable parameter for structural inspection, and a second reference feature disposed on the first planar face within the first bounded area and corresponding with a second measurable parameter for structural inspection. The first and second reference features are positioned within the first bounded area for placement adjacent an element bearing the respective one of the first and second measurable parameters, and the first and second reference features overlap within the first bounded area in at least one direction.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are inexpensive, easy-to-install (do-it-yourself/DIY), non-invasive, independently powered automated devices, apparatuses, systems and methods for leak detection, prevention and mitigation, particularly fluid leak detection, prevention and mitigation, as well as water leak detection and water-supply shutoff of domestic and commercial pressurized water-supply networks.

Abstract: A system for monitoring a crack in a structural member includes a first fixable component having a first plate defining a top surface and a bottom surface. The first plate is at least partially transparent in at least a first area thereof, and the first fixable component further includes a mounting surface disposed away from the bottom surface of the plate. The system also includes a second fixable component having a second plate defining a top surface and a bottom surface defining a mounting area thereon. A distance between the mounting surface and the bottom surface of the first plate is greater than a thickness of the second plate defined between the top and bottom surfaces thereof. A measurement array and a pair of orthogonal crosshairs are disposed on respective ones of the first plate within the at least partially transparent area and the second plate.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to reversing the trend in conventional video printing by providing a cost-effective, flexible device which is independent of the printing device such that it can be used with any conventional computer printing device to provide plain paper prints of video images. By focusing on optimizing cost-effectiveness and system flexibility rather than providing high resolution photographic quality prints, the present invention can provide video printing features never before realized. Generally speaking, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing an input video data stream by selecting at least a portion of a frame of the input video data stream as printable image data, and by processing the selected a frame to correlate the frame to said input video data stream using at least one identifier.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to reversing the trend in conventional video printing by providing a cost-effective, flexible device which is independent of the printing device and which can respond to any of numerous highly accurate trigger signals for capturing a video image. Exemplary embodiments can be used with any conventional computer printing device to provide plain paper prints of video images. By focusing on optimizing cost-effectiveness and system flexibility rather than providing high resolution photographic quality prints, the present invention can provide video printing features never before realized. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and apparatus for processing an input video data stream by receiving the input video data stream, and by automatically controlling processing of at least a portion of a video frame in response to a predetermined condition of the input video data stream.
