Abstract: In one aspect, a method for inspecting features of an image using an image inspection controller that includes a processor communicatively coupled to a memory is described. The method includes receiving, at the processor, an input image, performing, on the input image, one of a semantic segmentation process and an object classification process to generate an output image, and prompting a user to select between approving the displayed output image, and at least one of i) performing an additional semantic segmentation process on the displayed output image, and ii) performing an additional object classification process on the displayed output image.

Abstract: A manipulation element for a downhole tool, the downhole tool comprising a camera assembly including a lens. The manipulation element comprises a root portion connectable to said downhole tool, the root portion including an aperture for receiving a part of the camera assembly therethrough such that, in use, said lens is disposed forward of the root portion; a stem portion extending from the root portion and including a hollow or gap aligned with the aperture for receiving, in use, said lens, the stem portion terminating at a tip; and a manipulation surface extending continuously between the tip and the root portion, at least a part of the manipulation surface extending at a non-zero angle to a longitudinal axis of the manipulation element such that the manipulation surface crosses a plane containing the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to shaker doors with solid cores and methods for making the same. The shaker doors contain different core materials at the recessed panel than the raise peripheral region to provide dimensional stability and reduced distortion when the doors are exposed to high humidity. The devices and methods also provide for easy assembly of solid core shaker doors, including fire rated doors.

Abstract: A door pressing system for pressing interior passage doors, exterior entry doors, bi-fold doors, and/or closet doors features a multi-door pressing station including first and second presses, a loading device, and a discharging device. The pressing station is configured to alternatively move the first and second presses into operative alignment with the loading and discharging devices. The press in operative alignment delivers a pressed assembled door to the discharging device and receives an assembled door layup to be pressed from the loading device. The other press that is out of operatively alignment presses an assembled door received therein. Additional methods and systems are also provided.

Abstract: An adjustment device and associated method is disclosed, for adjusting an equipment, such as a camera, having an actuator for adjusting a variable setting, such as a lens setting (focus, iris, zoom). A control system drives the actuator and command component of the adjustment device to reflect a position of the actuator. In a slave mode, the command component is driven by the control system. In an override mode, a manual operation of the command component drives the actuator of the equipment. Also disclosed are a method for building a model of a lens, a method for treating an image capture to produce a visual effect, a method for creating a node in a model representing a given space, a method for setting a node in a model based on a known node, and a method for calibrating a node in a model.

Abstract: Provided is a system and method of making a door having first and second door skins and an internal frame. The top and bottom surfaces of the frame are coated with an adhesive and the frame is placed on a first door skin. The second door skin is then placed on the opposite surface of the frame.
