Abstract: A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

Abstract: To sense the shape of a multicore optical fiber sensor, light reflected in a center and two or more helixed outer cores of the optical fiber sensor is measured, and phases associated with strain in the center and helixed outer cores is tracked along the length of the fiber sensor. Further, a wobble signal indicative of a variation in the spin rate of the fiber sensor is determined. Based on the tracked phases and the wobble signal, the fiber shape is computed.

Abstract: A method for assessing a network environment includes obtaining, by the network assessment computing device, device information for one or more devices each with an Internet Protocol address currently on a defined network in a network environment from a network appliance device coupled to the network environment. Each of the identified devices are assessed, by the network assessment computing device, for one or more vulnerabilities. Network status data and any actionable items for the identified devices for the one or more vulnerabilities is generated, by the network assessment computing device, based on the assessing. The generated status data and any actionable items are provided by the network assessment computing device.

Abstract: A method and system for providing a medical record management service that supports the creating, storing, accessing, updating, and distributing of patient medical records, especially diagnostic-quality medical imaging, under the control of a patient and the coordinated care of the patient and her physician. According to a representative embodiment, the present invention includes a scanner, a clinical database, an account database, a digitizer, an e-mail server, an image server with an image archive, a web server, an Internet service provider, a web enabler, an expanded memory image archive, and a series of Internet-based software applications and graphical user interfaces that give the patients and physicians access to view and manipulate the information in the clinical database and image archives. The present invention can further include computer-aided detection and a printer capable of producing diagnostic-quality images.
