Abstract: A computer-based method for automatically evaluating validity and extent of at least one damaged object from image data, comprising: (a) receiving image data comprising one or more images of at least one damaged object; (b) processing said one or more images using an image alteration detection algorithm to detect fraudulent manipulation of said one or more images by classifying at least one attribute of said one or more images; (c) removing any image comprising fraudulent manipulation from said one or more images; (d) processing said one or more images using at least one machine learning algorithm to identify at least one of: a damaged object in any one of said one or more images a damaged area of said damaged object, and an extent of damage of said at least one damaged area; and (e) generating a predictive analysis to repair and/or replace said at least one damaged object.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-based method for automatically evaluating validity and extent of at least one damaged object from image data, comprising the steps of: (a) receive image data comprising one or more images of at least one damaged object; (b) inspect any one of said one or more images for existing image alteration utilising an image alteration detection algorithm, and remove any image comprising image alterations from said one or more images; (c) identify and classify said at least one damaged object in any one of said one or more images, utilising at least one first machine learning algorithm; (d) detect at least one damaged area of said classified damaged object, utilising at least one second machine learning algorithm; (e) classify, quantitatively and/or qualitatively, an extent of damage of said at least one damaged area, utilising at least one third machine learning algorithm, and characteristic information of said damaged object and/or an undamaged object that is at least equivale

Abstract: Wireless communication apparatus is disclosed having a first base station providing an access point to a first communications network and second base station providing an access point to a second communication network. The first base station communicates wirelessly with a first access terminal using a first carrier at a first frequency and having a first bandwidth, and the second base station communicates wirelessly with a second access terminal using a set of carriers at respective different frequencies within a second frequency band, which has a second bandwidth larger than the first bandwidth and the first frequency is within the second frequency band. The second base station inhibits transmission of data by the second base station to the second access terminal using a subset of carriers having frequencies within the first bandwidth of the first frequency.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a method of providing substantially uninterrupted gas service by coupling at least one gas cylinder to a portable tanking assembly. The tanking assembly can include a cart including a rear frame and a coupled carrier frame supported on an axle with wheels. In some embodiments, the carrier frame can include a caged regulation assembly housing at least a portion of a regulation apparatus with an upstream supply end coupled to a downstream delivery end. In some embodiments, the regulation apparatus includes a primary regulator coupled a one relief valve. The relief valve can be coupled to a downstream regulator, coupled to a water column gauge. In some embodiments, the regulation apparatus further includes a delivery valve. In some embodiments, the delivery valve comprises a distribution manifold assembly including a manifold and a plurality of distribution couplers coupled to the manifold.

Abstract: A surgical device is described herein that can be used to fire different types and sizes of disposable loading units. In a preferred embodiment, the device applies parallel rows of surgical fasteners to body tissue and concomitantly forms an incision between the rows of staples during an endoscopic or laparoscopic surgical procedure. The device can be utilized with disposable loading units configured to apply linear rows of staples measuring from about 15 mm in length to about 60 mm in length and can be used to fire disposable loading units containing surgical clips and individual staples.

Abstract: A humidifier for a fuel cell system comprises a stack of thin plates having planar sealing surfaces at their edges. A water permeable membrane is provided between each pair of plates. Each plate defines a gas flow passage along its top and bottom surfaces, with an inlet and outlet defined along edges of the plate, and a flow field extending between the inlet and outlet openings. Inlet and outlet passages connect the inlet and outlet openings to the flow field, and the planar sealing surfaces on both sides of the plate include bridging portions which extend across the inlet and outlet passages. Support structures are provided throughout the flow field and the inlet and outlet passages to support the membrane and diffusion medium layer(s). The support structures may optionally be connected together by webs having holes for flow distribution between the top and bottom of each plate.
