  • Publication number: 20240037766
    Abstract: Systems and methods for video georegistration are provided. An example method includes: receiving an input image; generating a plurality of templates from the input image; and generating a template queue based at least in part on the plurality of template scores. The plurality of templates are associated with a plurality of template scores. The template queue includes a set of selected templates. The method further includes receiving one or more reference images; determining a set of match scores for the set of selected templates by applying a matching algorithm to the set of selected templates and at least one reference image of the one or more reference images; evaluating the set of match scores to select a collection of templates, and generating an image transform based at least in part on the collection of templates. Each template of the collection of templates meets one or more selection criteria.

  • Patent number: 11104330
    Abstract: Systems and method for controlling a vehicle are provided. In some aspects of the disclosure, a system includes a device interface configured to receive instructions from an external device, and a control interface configured to receive sensor signals from one or more vehicle sensors. The system also includes a controller module in communication with the device interface and control interface, wherein the controller module is configured to carry out steps for generating control signals based on the instructions received, and selectively directing the control signals or the sensor signals to at least one control unit on the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9279075
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing manufactured aggregates and other compositions from an encapsulated PCM slurry, suspension or emulsion by combining a cementitious binder and a adsorbent and/or absorbent with the PCM slurry. The encapsulated PCM-containing composition can be produced in an agglomeration process. The ingredients can also be mixed to form a viscous mass which can be extruded or otherwise formed to produce useful products.

  • Publication number: 20110108241
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods of producing manufactured aggregates and other compositions from an encapsulated PCM slurry, suspension or emulsion by combining a cementitious binder and an adsorbent and/or absorbent with the PCM slurry. The encapsulated PCM can be introduced as damp cake or dry form as alternatives to the liquid forms. Fire resistant aggregates can be produced in an agglomeration process. The ingredients can also be mixed to form a viscous mass which can be extruded or otherwise formed to produce useful products.

  • Publication number: 20110108758
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing manufactured aggregates from a mPCM slurry, by combining a cementitious binder with the slurry in an agglomeration process. Also, other materials may be introduced (e.g., CaO). The agglomerated feed mix then goes through a curing and classification process to meet the size criteria of the end product. The invention also provides a method of manufacturing PCM aggregates that are substantially fire retardant by mixing the PCM particles with magnesium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide. Water may be added to assure uniform distribution of particles with the hydroxide particles. Alternatively, the hydroxides may be obtained in situ by mixing magnesium oxide or aluminum oxide with water prior to mixing with the PCM particles.

  • Patent number: 4006306
    Abstract: Improved audio reproduction apparatus permits upgrading a two channel high fidelity ("stereo") system to four channel ("quadraphonic") capability, while flexibly accommodating varying four channel source signal formats, e.g., four channel discrete, or encoded two channel SQ (e.g., tape, FM) or CD-4 (phonograph). The composite arrangement includes demodulation circuitry for the variously formated incoming signals, and plural variable gain amplifier arrays for final signal source selection which is readily effected by off-board minimal, DC switching.
