  • Patent number: 11046093
    Abstract: Systems and methods for evenly heating a drum dryer of a print system. In one embodiment, the dryer is configured to rotate about an axis oriented in a lateral direction, to receive a radiant energy source disposed inside the drum that extends between each lateral end of the drum in the lateral direction, and to receive a reflective assembly inside the drum that includes an inner portion and an outer portion. The inner portion surrounds the radiant energy source and removably attaches the reflective assembly to a lateral end of the drum. The outer portion extends from the inner portion in a radial direction of the drum that is perpendicular to the lateral direction. The outer portion includes a reflective surface that reflects radiant energy from the lateral end to the central portion of the drum in contact with the web.

  • Publication number: 20210118107
    Abstract: Enhancing edges of objects in a thermal image comprises receiving a thermal image and generating a gradient magnitude image comprising a plurality of pixels having associated gradient magnitude values. The gradient magnitude image is partitioned into subregions and gradient magnitude statistics are calculated for each. Mapping parameters are calculated for each of the subregions that equalize and smooth a dynamic range of the corresponding gradient magnitude statistics across the subregions. The mapping parameters calculated for each of the subregions are applied to pixels in the subregions to generate enhanced gradient magnitude values having equalized luminosity and contrast, and a wireframe image is formed therefrom having enhanced edges of objects. The wireframe image is displayed on a display device, wherein the wireframe image appears as a decluttered line drawing where the enhanced edges have increased luminosity and contrast compared to the thermal image to reduce the cognitive load of the user.

  • Patent number: 10970068
    Abstract: A technique relates to computer artifacts in a computer system. The technique includes creating a list of insights from artifacts, determining a similarity level between the insights of the artifacts and a predefined area of capability, comparing similarity level of insights for each of the artifacts to a threshold metric, removing artifacts having the similarity level below threshold metric such that artifacts remaining meet the threshold metric, and performing a pair-wise similarity comparison on the artifacts remaining which compares insights of the artifacts to each other to determine which ones are least common. The technique includes creating feature vectors for artifacts that are least common, determining a feature vector having a most variation in feature vectors, an artifact associated with the feature vector being determined to comprise a unique insight, and generating a unique message using the artifact associated with the feature vector being the unique insight.

  • Publication number: 20210086722
    Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle or trailer anti-theft device including electro-mechanical means and a temporary electrical power supply. The temporary electrical power supply acts momentarily upon the electro-mechanical device, thereby causing it to move into an activated condition. In its activated condition, it acts upon either on at least one wheel of the trailer, or the vehicle's parking brake system, to lock the at least one wheel, and remains in its activated condition without the need for any external power supply until such time as the electro-mechanical device is activated or re-connected to the temporary electrical power supply whereby the power supply is able to act momentarily upon the electro-mechanical device, and return said device to its deactivated condition, thereby causing the at least one wheel to be unlocked or the vehicle park brake to deactivate.
