  • Patent number: 11893717
    Abstract: This disclosure describes one or more embodiments of systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods that can learn or identify a learned-initialization-latent vector for an initialization digital image and reconstruct a target digital image using an image-generating-neural network based on a modified version of the learned-initialization-latent vector. For example, the disclosed systems learn a learned-initialization-latent vector from an initialization image utilizing a high number (e.g., thousands) of learning iterations on an image-generating-neural network (e.g., a GAN). Then, the disclosed systems can modify the learned-initialization-latent vector (of the initialization image) to generate modified or reconstructed versions of target images using the image-generating-neural network.

  • Patent number: 4374481
    Abstract: The adjustable socket comprises a plurality of fingers pivoted by one end thereof to a socket body and enclosed within a partially rotatable shell covering the socket body. A spiral slot in the shell is engaged by a pin or the like extending from the body so that when the shell is partially rotated, the shell extends or retracts axially relative to the body portion thus opening or closing the distal ends of the fingers due to the engagement of the outer surfaces of the distal ends of the fingers with the curved inturned end of the shell. This shell and fingers can be detachably locked in the desired position. This enables the fingers to adjust in order to grasp or grip a nut or bolt within the size range governed by design parameters. A spring reacts between the shell and the body portion normally retracting the shell so that the fingers are in the widest position.

  • Patent number: 4117581
    Abstract: Three jaws are pivoted to a head carrying the pressure screw or bolt. One jaw is pivotally secured to one side of the head and the other two jaws are normally situated at 120.degree. one upon each side of the first jaw and are also pivotally secured to the head. Means are provided to move these two jaws to a position in spaced and parallel relationship opposite to said first jaw and also to swing the first jaw between these two jaws so that the puller can be used as an internal puller. This movement can be achieved either by unbolting the two jaws and re-positioning same or using a U-bolt attachment which permits the two jaws to be slid from one position to another thus enabling the puller to be used as a two or three-jaw puller and upon external or internal objects to be pulled.

  • Patent number: 4038527
    Abstract: A self-contained, strapped down guidance system combining all axes, all attitude navigation having two wide angle, two-degree-of-freedom gyros which provide attitude angle and angular rate signals along three axes. Accelerometer means provide signals representative of the acceleration along three orthogonally displaced independent axes. A first transformation matrix connected to the attitude angle output of the gyros and to the accelerometers transforms the gyro and accelerometer signals from body coordinates to gyro coordinates. A second transformation matrix connected to the output of the gyros, transforms the gyro coordinates into navigation coordinates. In order to perform navigational computations, computing means compute a transformation from gyro momentum vector (referenced to coordinate frame) to a navigational coordinate frame such as a locally vertical frame wherein the Z axis is always along the local vertical direction.
