Abstract: For imaging an object subject to a cyclic motion, two or more imaging repetitions are carried out. Each of the imaging repetitions includes a sequence of equally spaced imaging events, wherein each imaging event has an event number, which corresponds to a respective predefined imaging parameter. A cycle duration of the cyclic motion is determined, a number of events per cycle is determined based on the cycle duration and a shift number is determined at least in part randomly. For a first imaging repetition, a starting number is determined depending on the number of events per cycle and the shift number. The first imaging repetition is carried out, wherein the respective sequence is started with an imaging event, whose event number is given by the starting number.

Abstract: Systems and methods for managing an inspection path of an unmanned inspection device. The method begins with generating a randomized time for a UAV inspection path using a randomizing time function. Next, predicted inspection path information is accessed for the randomized time of the UAV inspection path. An inspection path is generated for the randomized time based on the predicted inspection path information accessed. A UAV is programmed to traverse the inspection path. Before the UAV departs, the system confirms the current predicted inspection path information compared to one or more of the predicted inspection path information. In response, the current predicted inspection path information is with a threshold level of the predicted inspection path information or the predicted inspection path was last inspected more than a given time period, initiating operation of the UAV to traverse the inspection path, and otherwise, generating a new randomized time and new inspection path.

Abstract: Systems and methods to generate synthetic images for use in a machine learning training set. The process begins with accessing a database of real-world 3-D images of equipment in a power grid, the 3-D images of equipment include 3-D measurements to create a dimensionally accurate and photorealistic model of the equipment. Optionally, the 3-D images could be aged or weathered using imaging editing software. Next, a database of real-world photographs of scenes in which the equipment is installed is accessed. Optionally, the identical scenes can be captured at different times of day, different times of the year, and at different perspectives. Next, using image editing software, the 3-D images of equipment is inserted into at least one of the scenes to form a synthetic image based on a combination of the equipment and the scene in which each of the equipment and the scene were previously captured independently of each other.

Abstract: For magnetic resonance (MR) reconstruction using artificial intelligence (AI), the AI-based reconstruction for MR imaging systems is offloaded to one or more servers. A remote server performs AI-based reconstruction. A library of recent, old, custom, and/or publicly available AI-based reconstruction processes may be rapidly deployed and available to the server, which has the memory and processing resources for AI-based reconstruction. Load balancing of the data and/or between servers may improve performance.

Abstract: An industrial safety architecture integrates employee identity and enterprise-level security policy into plant-floor functional safety systems, allowing control and safety systems on the plant floor to regulate safe interactions with hazardous controlled machinery based on user identity or role. The architecture leverages existing employee identity and security policy data maintained on the corporate level of an industrial enterprise to manage identity- and/or role-based control and safety on the plant level. Safety authority systems at both the corporate level and the plant level of the industrial enterprise obtain employee and security policy data from corporate-level systems and provides this data in as SIL-rated manner to industrial control and safety systems on the plant floor, where the identity and security policy information is used by functional safety systems to control access to industrial systems as a function of user identity, role, certifications, or other qualifications.

Abstract: Multiple binary images stored in the firmware of an electronic device are written to the device's configuration tables during booting of the device, where one of the binary images is a manager binary. During booting, the manager binary is saved to the file system of the operating system such that it automatically executes upon completion of booting. The manager binary then saves the other binary images to the OS file system, such that they also execute automatically.

Abstract: An industrial security policy configuration system generates and implements security policies for industrial automation systems based on design data for the industrial systems generated by device manufacturers, system integrators, original equipment manufacturers, or the owners of the industrial assets during the design of the industrial systems. the collected design data to a security rule set defining device-level communication privileges. The system translates the collected design data to a security rule set defining device-level communication privileges, which are then translated to a comprehensive set of security policies customized to the requirements of the industrial systems represented by the design data. By leveraging the rich set of available design data to identify or infer security requirements and generate suitable security configurations, the system can mitigate the need to manually configure security policies based on human judgments regarding normal and abnormal network traffic.
