Abstract: Systems, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for controlling image acquisition robots in construction sites are provided. For example, a first image corresponding to a first point in time and a second image corresponding to a second point in time may be obtained. The first image and the second image may be analyzed to determine whether a change occurred in a particular area of a construction site between the first point in time and the second point in time. It may be determined whether a higher quality image of the particular area of the construction site is needed. An image acquisition robot may be controlled based on the determination of whether a change occurred in the particular area of the construction site and the determination of whether a higher quality image is needed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for hybrid processing of construction site images are provided.

Abstract: Permanent magnet assemblies are disclosed for use in medical applications, particularly permanent magnet assemblies for use in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and/or Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MRT) to produce a volume of substantially uniform magnetic field in a restricted part of the patient s body in a region either adjacent to the surface of one permanent magnet assembly or between a set of a first and second permanent magnet assemblies, leaving open access to the patient's body. The assemblies consist of a plurality of annular concentric magnets spaced-apart along their axis of symmetry. A method for constructing such annular permanent magnetic assemblies is disclosed, using equi-angular segments permanently magnetized.
