Abstract: Systems, devices and processes are provided to improve the design and implementation of radio frequency (RF) communication networks. Specifically, these various embodiments improve the likelihood of a successful RF network design by identifying and preferentially utilizing RF transmission sites having a relatively high probability of being successfully incorporated into the RF network. These various embodiments provide a site qualification database that includes site data for a plurality of RF transmission sites. When so implemented, the site qualification database is utilized to analyze the site data and generate a plurality of site scores for the corresponding RF transmission site, which can then be utilized in an RF analysis.

The plurality of site scores is then utilized in rating each of the plurality of RF transmission sites. These ratings of the RF transmission sites are then utilized in an RF analysis.

Abstract: Computer vision systems and methods for detecting power line hazards from imagery are provided. The system obtains at least one image from an image database having an object and/or a structure present therein, and generates a digital surface model (DSM), a vegetation mask, and a three-dimensional (3D) power line model based on the obtained image. The system generates a digital line model based on the 3D power line and a risk distance indicative of a distance between the 3D power line and vegetation proximate to the 3D power line, and also generates a digital tree model.

Abstract: A support bracket may include a brace section and a protrusion. The brace section may include a base, a first arm, and a second arm. The base may define a first opening. The first arm may extend from the base in a first direction. The second arm may extend from the base in the first direction. The protrusion may extend from the base of the brace section in a second direction. The second direction may be opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A method and system to verify active content at a server system include receiving, at the server system a communication (e.g., an e-mail message or e-commerce listing) that includes active content that is to be made accessible via the server system. At the server system, the active content is rendered to generate rendered active content. The rendered active content presents a representation of information and processes to which an end user will be subject. At the server system, the rendered active content is verified as not being malicious.

Abstract: A mounted x-ray window can be strong and transmissive to x-rays, can have a hermetic seal, and can withstand high temperatures. The mounted x-ray window can include a film located on an inner-side of a flange of a housing and can be attached to the flange by a ring of elastic adhesive. The film can comprise silicon nitride. A method of mounting an x-ray window can include placing a ring of elastic adhesive on an inner-side of a flange of a housing, placing a film on the ring of elastic adhesive, and baking the housing, the ring of elastic adhesive, and the film.
