The at least one variable stiffness section can include a first end, a second end, and a plurality of serially-arranged linkages provided within the at least one variable stiffness section. The serially-arranged linkages can include a distal linkage provided at the second end. The at least one stiff section can be configured to couple to the first end or the second end of the at least one variable stiffness section. The tensioning element can include a first end coupled to the distal linkage and a second end extending through the serially-arranged linkages, and out of the proximal end of the inspection tube.

Abstract: A first set of data is received by a non-destructive testing device (NDT device) from a remote system. A second set of data is received by the NDT device from a sensor on the NDT device. In response to receiving the second set of data, the first set of data and the second set of data are synchronized to create a synchronized set of data by comparing the first set of data and the second set of data, identifying differences between the first set of data and the second set of data, and providing a set of data that include elements of both the first set of data and the second set of data. Synchronizing occurs automatically during an inspection. The synchronizing occurs between the NDT device and the remote system such that the synchronized set of data is present on both the NDT device and the remote system.

Abstract: An embedded imaging system in one embodiment includes an encoding module, an imaging module, and a cable. The encoding module is disposed proximate to a proximal end of the system, and is configured to encode frame synchronizing information into timing information comprising a reference clock. The imaging module is disposed proximate the distal end, and includes an image capture device configured to obtain imaging information and a decoding module. The decoding control module is configured to obtain the timing information, to decode the timing information to obtain recovered frame synchronizing information, and to control the image capture device using the recovered frame synchronizing information. The cable is interposed between the proximal end and the distal end, and is configured for passage therethrough of the timing information and the imaging information.

Abstract: This invention relates to headgear for help in protecting the wearer against facial injury, especially skin damage from the elements and in particular sunburn and windburn, the headgear comprising a fabric wall which substantially surrounds the face and neck of the wearer and has in it an aperture for locating adjacent the wearer's eyes to allow vision. The wall is lightweight, flexible and porous and has stiffening means at the periphery of the aperture so as to support the aperture in open configuration in a vision-facilitating position adjacent the eyes of a wearer in use, and the wall provides protection to the wearer against ingress of particulate projectiles from around the transparent first membrane, as well as a degree of shielding from UV radiation while remaining lightweight and breathable.

Abstract: A system and method for remote picture editing is provided. High-resolution digital image files containing metadata are uploaded onto a hub from computers local to one or more photographers at an event. Lower-resolution copies of the digital images are made and are sent over the Internet to a web server. The web server notifies an editor that the lower-resolution images are available. The editor views the lower-resolution copies over the Internet, selects the images to be used, and using image-processing software, sets editing instructions to be applied to the image. Once the selected image is edited in accordance with the editor's instructions, the edited image is sent to a processor for final editing and application of additional metadata. The processor sends the finalized image to a reviewer for a final check before the image is sent to news and media outlets for publication.

Abstract: The invention provides method for predicting whether a cancer patient will respond to a therapy. Methods of the invention may involve examining protein from a cell of the cancer patient by determining the binding of a panel of antibodies to the protein. Methods of the invention may be used to generate both expression and activation profiles for cells from a cancer patient. Profiles from a cancer patient may then be compared to known profiles for therapy responders and non-responders to predict the individual response of the patient. For example, methods of the invention may be used to determine whether an ovarian or breast cancer patient will respond to a therapeutic protocol.
