Abstract: A system, method and program product for identifying a risk hazard vulnerability at a target environment and presenting a detected risk hazard. The method configures an evaluator mobile computing device to obtain, via the mobile device, a real-world view or image data of items/objects in a target real-world environment and, optionally, or in addition, obtain other context data associated with the target environment. The method invokes operations of a risk vulnerability model to detect a risk associated with the target object within the real-world view and based on any additional associated context data. The method causes the mobile device to further generate a visual, audible or haptics indication of the identified risk vulnerability and/or a calculated risk score of the target object for display on the mobile computing device and display the risk vulnerability indication on the real-world view displayed at the mobile device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices to remove slag, sands, and other contaminants from a scrap metal feed. The scrap separation device uses indirect heat provided by one or more heaters which are directed at an external surface of an outer cylinder and a unique arrangement of paddles on an inner surface of an inner cylinder to provide thermal and kinetic energy to dislodge the slag, sands, and other contaminants, and apertures through the inner cylinder to allow the dislodged contaminates to pass to the outer cylinder. The system includes at least one magnetic separation unit, a screening unit, and a scrap separation device. The system removes slag, sands, and other contaminants from a scrap metal feed, and partitions the cleaned scrap metal into various size grades, and the recovered contaminating slag and sands into various size grades.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices to remove slag, sands, and other contaminants from a scrap metal feed. The scrap separation device uses indirect heat provided by one or more heaters directed at an external surface of an outer cylinder to release the contaminants; a unique arrangement of paddles on an inner cylinder to provide kinetic energy to discharge the released contaminants, and apertures through the inner cylinder to allow discharged contaminates to pass to the outer cylinder. The presently disclosed invention further includes a system which comprises at least one magnetic separation unit, a screening unit, and a scrap separation device. The system may remove slag, sands, and other contaminants from a scrap metal feed, and partition the cleaned scrap metal into various size grades, and the recovered contaminating slag and sands into various size grades.

Abstract: A method for colorizing a monochrome image is provided. The method includes the step of transforming the monochrome image to a luminance color domain and also transforming a color sample corresponding to the monochrome image to the luminance color domain. The method also includes the step of mapping the transformed color sample on to the transformed monochrome image and merging the transformed color sample with a lightness channel of the transformed monochrome image to yield a final image. A further step of the method involves transforming the final image to a color space.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process allows emergency plans to be easily and rapidly created for a plurality of different facilities. An emergency plan is provided in electronic form for each facility. Each emergency plan has a standardized format with a plurality of component parts. Each emergency plan has at least some component parts that are accessible by other facilities. An electronic network is provided which allows at least some of the facilities to electronically obtain the accessible component parts of the emergency plans of at least some of the other facilities. A user interface allows the emergency plan of a facility to electronically import into its emergency plan selected content of one or more component parts of the emergency plan of another facility using the electronic network. The electronic importing is facilitated via the use of the standardized format for the emergency plans.

Abstract: A method for determining a fundamental frequency of a note in a musical signal comprising the steps of receiving the musical signal; determining a frequency of each of a plurality of tracks of the musical signal; generating a plurality of subharmonics for each track; and computing the fundamental frequency based on a frequency of at least one subharmonic selected from the plurality of subharmonics, the frequency of the at least one selected subharmonic being within a neighborhood of the frequency of the track having a lowest frequency.

Abstract: A system for making a lesson authored by a teacher accessible to a class of one or more students and for making homework authored by a student belonging to the class accessible to the teacher. The system includes a first client, a second client, and a server computer, all of which are connected to a computer network. The server computer maintains a database including information about the teacher, the student, the class and the lesson. The server computer provides a script to the first client computer and to the second client computer for executing a notation computer program. The notation computer program is utilized to author the lesson or the homework. The lesson or the homework is transferred from the first or the second client computer to the server computer for making the lesson or the homework accessible to the students of the class or the teacher.

Abstract: A golf swing training device comprises a swing guide, a base structure adapted to lie on a generally horizontal surface and a framework on the base structure for supporting the swing guide in position above the base structure in a plane at a selected angle to the horizontal surface. The swing guide has a lower portion in front of the golfer at a relatively low elevation with respect to the surface and an upper portion in back of the golfer at a relatively high elevation with respect to the surface. The framework comprises a forward ring member support on the base structure supporting the lower portion of the swing guide and permitting variation of the angle of the plane of the swing guide, and a rearward articulated prop for propping up the upper portion of the swing guide.

Abstract: A scraper control system for conveyor belt cleaning includes a pair of elongated scraper elements mounted at opposed ends to a pair of spring-biased arms. The sraper mounting arms are attached to a separate shaft at each side of the belt. Each shaft is torqued by one of an identical pair of torque activator units. Each torque activator unit includes an extensible bellows member adapted to be placed into communication with a regulated, high pressure source of water, such as mine waste water. The bellows member has a mounting are fixed relative to the frame of the conveyor and a moveable torque are connected at one end to the bellows member and fixed at a seond end to the shaft. High pressure water preferably mine waster water is regulated between 15 to 100 psig and introduced into the bellows member to cause the torque arm to exert a force on the shaft which, in turn, transmits the force through the spring-biased mounting arms to the scraper elements.
