Abstract: Systems and methods for future trends forecasting based on prediction market probability estimates. Alternative simulated starting values for prediction markets are used in order to determine the preferred starting values for prediction markets to use in volumetric forecasting. A user interface that facilitates using prediction market probability estimates to determine future trends forecasts is described herein.

Abstract: An apparatus including a printed circuit board (PCB) including a sense resistor; and an integrated circuit (IC) mounted on the PCB, wherein at least a portion of the IC draws current from a power rail, wherein the sense resistor is coupled between the power rail and the IC, wherein the sense resistor is configured to produce a sense voltage in response to the current drawn by the at least portion of the IC, and wherein the IC includes a current sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of the current drawn by the at least portion of the IC based on the sense voltage.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a novel system and method to detect and estimate the time-frequency span of wireless signals present in a wideband RF spectrum. In preferred embodiments, the Faster RCNN deep learning architecture is used to detect the presence of wireless transmitters from the spectrogram images plotted by searching for rectangular shapes of any size, then localize the time and frequency information from the output of the FRCNN deep learning architecture.

Abstract: A system for moving equipment is disclosed. The system may include a platform having opposing first and second ends. A first roll end may be located at the first end of the platform. A first beam may be coupled to the first roll end at the first end of the platform. The system may also include a first mover coupled to the coupler. The first mover may include a first head, a first lift, and a first horizontal actuator. The first head may be coupled to the first beam and the first lift. The first lift may be coupled to the first horizontal actuator and the first mover may be configured to lift the platform vertically and move the platform horizontally.

Abstract: A tubular handling apparatus for a drilling system, a method for handling tubulars, and a drilling system. The apparatus includes a first trough configured to receive at least a first tubular and a second tubular, a first skate movable along the first trough and configured to engage a first end of the first tubular, and a second skate movable along the first trough and configured to engage a second end of the second tubular. The first and second skates are configured to push a third end of the first tubular into engagement with a fourth end of the second tubular in the first trough. The apparatus also includes a tongs configured to engage the first and second tubulars in the first trough and apply torque thereto.

Abstract: An ultrasound system enables simplified setup of a remote terminal for display of ultrasound images acquired by the ultrasound system. An image acquired by the ultrasound system is processed by or with display parameters for different viewing conditions or devices, such as display gamma correction, ambient lighting, or image quality. A plurality of versions of an image with slightly different display appearances are exported to the remote terminal, where a viewer can view all of the image versions simultaneously. The viewer selects the best image, and the display characteristics of the selected image are used for images subsequently exported from the ultrasound system to the remote terminal.

Abstract: A method of assembling a drilling rig may include aligning a trailer with a drilling rig support structure, the trailer carrying a mast and the drilling rig support structure including a step-down substructure. A first end of the mast may be positioned over the drilling rig support structure and arms may be extended from the mast to the drilling rig support structure so that the drilling rig support structure supports the first end of the mast. The mast may translate along a length of the drilling rig support structure. The mast may be coupled to the drilling rig support structure.

Abstract: An ultrasound probe acquires a 3D image dataset of a volumetric region of the body. The 3D image data is reformatted into a sequence of successive parallel image planes extending in one of three orthogonal directions through the volume. The sequence of images is preferably formatted in accordance with the DICOM standard so that a clinician can review the 3D image data as a sequence of DICOM images on an image workstation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for injection molding a foamed product. A short shot of formable resin is injected into a cavity (124) defined by respective inner surfaces (134,136) of a plurality of molding plates (120,122) at an amount less than a volume of the cavity (124), the resin comprising a chemical foaming agent. The injected resin is allowed to foam for a predetermined period of time, during which the injected foamable resin foams and expands to substantially fill the cavity (124) and a portion of an outer surface face of the foamable resin contacts the respective inner surfaces (134,136) of the molding plates (120,122). Pressurized gas is injected into the cavity (124) after the predetermined time has elapsed to urge the skinned outer surface of the foamed resin against the inner surfaces (134,136) of the molding plates (120,122).
