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: The disclosed invention facilitates the removal of dirt and other sediment from a bucket of heavy machinery. With regular use, buckets build up dirt that decreases the available volume. Removing the dirt can require additional equipment and labor, and would require the heavy machinery to be away from the service area. The disclosed invention allows for rapid removal of the dirt on site with a single piece of equipment.

Abstract: This DigiFlux™ digital gas flow sensor (DigiFlux™) can measure the gas flow by its Hall effect gas sensor. DigiFlux™ [FIG. 1] is based on the Hall effect. In DigiFlux™, an air-float with a small magnetic-iron attached to its bottom, is upright on a Hall effect sensor made by a conductor with I/O connector. When the air-float moves up or down caused by the gas influx pressure, the magnetic-iron in the bottom of air-float will cause electromagnetic sense, and will generate Hall voltage (Vh) signal on Hall effect sensor. The Vh signal will be sent to amplifier then to the MCU/DSP for analog-to-digital conversion, then the gas influx flow will be sensed as digital signal and can be processed by MCU/DSP. Based on functional program one can set different modes to measure gas flow. DigiFlux™ can measure gas flow with high-precision even with a small influx of gas.

Abstract: A software-defined radio includes an executable radio software system operable with a radio circuit and conforming to the software communications architecture (SCA) specification and defining an operating environment that allows a waveform application to operate with a radio circuit for transmitting and receiving voice and data. An extensible Human-Machine Interface (HMI)plugin module is operable for allowing a selected waveform application to integrate with the radio circuit and provide an HMI user interface.

Abstract: Techniques and apparatuses for reducing power consumption in processor based systems during active and standby modes. A low power TLB is disclosed that does not precharge invalid entries or write to output circuits physical addresses that are the same as immediately preceding lookups. A circuit to acknowledge that the integrated circuits of the processor have entered low power standby mode that is low leakage and consumes little power is disclosed. Minimum delay buffers that have very low leakage because of series placement of a long delay enable transistor with the transistors of the inverters that make up the buffers is also disclosed.
