  • Patent number: 11995818
    Abstract: A method for imaging includes acquiring surface image data for a target using a first imaging modality. A visual representation of the target based on the surface image data is generated. Internal image data for the target is acquired using a second imaging modality. During acquisition of the internal image data, the visual representation of the target based on the acquired internal image data is updated.

  • Patent number: 11913480
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting the functional state of a piloted or direct-operated isolation valve in a hydraulic circuit is presented. In some examples the hydraulic circuit is a steering circuit and the isolation valve provides selective isolation between a hydraulic actuator and one or more metering valves. In some examples, the isolation valve assembly is movable between a first position, in which fluid flow between the metering valve and the actuator is enabled, and a second position, in which fluid flow between the metering valve and the actuator is blocked. When the isolation valve assembly is moved to one of the first and second positions, an inlet port and a pressure sensing port of the isolation valve assembly are placed in fluid communication with each other. When the isolation valve assembly is moved to the other of the first or second position, a second inlet port and the pressure sensing port are placed in fluid communication.

  • Patent number: 10207141
    Abstract: This invention relates to health and fitness and more particularly to exercise methods and devices. This invention is directly related to strengthening the muscles between the shoulder blades associated with poor posture, without the use of the hands. The exercise apparatus comprises two adjustable fabric loops connected to a rubber loop. The user slips one arm into each fabric loop pulling the device up to rest on the back of the upper arms with the rubber loop resting across the front of the body just above chest height. User then contracts the shoulder blades together and down which creates resistance on the rubber loop strengthening the muscles between the shoulder blades.

  • Publication number: 20040039991
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are disclosed for dynamically generating code within a server computer system to process contents input into an input field in a form. The client computer system receives contents that are input into an input field that is included within the form. The input field has been defined using a descriptor variable. A definition of this descriptor variable is defined within the form. The form, including the definition of the descriptor variable, is transmitted from the client computer system to the server computer system. The server computer system then dynamically generates code to process the contents entered into the input field utilizing the definition of the descriptor variable that was included in the form.

  • Patent number: 6560556
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting and locating a circuit defect. In a preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a resistance measuring device for measuring the resistance of the circuit, a heat source, and a recorder. The heat source is placed near the surface of the circuit but is not placed in physical contact with the surface. The heat source is moved about to a plurality of points in a plane parallel to and above the surface of the circuit while the resistance of the circuit is measured when the heat source is at each of the points. The recorder is functionally connected to the resistance measuring device and to the heat source, and determines and records the horizontal location of the heat source and records the resistance of the circuit at each of these locations.
