The support deck is positioned to support the upper transport portion and includes a lower support deck structure, and wear plates that are supported on the lower support deck structure and which are engageable with the upper transport portion of the belt. The support deck includes alignment aperture pairs, each including a first aperture through the lower structure, and a second aperture through a wear plate. The rinsing system includes outlet bodies, each extending into one of each of the first and second alignment apertures a wear plate, to inhibit movement of the wear plate. Each outlet body has an outlet facing the upper transport portion so as to eject liquid thereonto.

Abstract: A tracker is described which comprises a processor configured to receive captured sensor data depicting an object. The processor is configured to access a rigged polygon mesh model of the object and to compute a plurality of approximate surface normals of a limit surface of the rigged polygon mesh. The processor is configured to compute values of pose parameters of the model by calculating an optimization to fit the model to the captured sensor data where the optimization uses an evaluation function based on the plurality of approximate surface normals.

Abstract: Technology related to evaluating cyber-risk for synchrophasor systems is disclosed. In one example of the disclosed technology, a method includes generating an event tree model of a timing-attack on a synchrophasor system architecture. The event tree model can be based on locations and types of timing-attacks, an attack likelihood, vulnerabilities and detectability along a scenario path, and consequences of the timing-attack. A cyber-risk score of the synchrophasor system architecture can be determined using the event tree model. The synchrophasor system architecture can be adapted in response to the cyber-risk score.

Abstract: Technology related to risk-informed autonomous adaptive cyber controllers is disclosed. In one example of the disclosed technology, a method includes generating probabilities of a cyber-attack occurring along an attack surface of a network. The probabilities can be generated using sensor and operational data of a network as inputs to an attack graph. The risk scores can be determined using a plurality of fault trees and the generated probabilities from the attack graph. The respective risk scores can correspond to respective nodes of an event tree. The event tree and the determined risk scores can be used to determine risk estimates for a plurality of configurations of the network. The risk estimates for the plurality of configurations of the network can be used to reconfigure the network to reduce a risk from the cyber-attack.

Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes an input system and a processor that may be configured to control a virtual manipulator based on input data received from the input system. The processor is further configured to determine an initial state of a system that includes at least an initial state of the virtual manipulator and an initial state of a virtual object, detect at least one contact point between a portion of the virtual manipulator and the virtual object. The processor is further configured to calculate a subsequent state for the virtual object that minimizes a set of energies or residuals defined in terms of the one or more positional quantities determined for the initial state of the system and the one or more positional quantities determined for the subsequent state of the system using a position-based energy minimizing function.
