  • Publication number: 20230204240
    Abstract: A space conditioning system and method for monitoring electrical parameters and/or thermodynamic parameters relating to the heat of extraction/rejection or power consumption of the system and to communicate the monitored parameters to an external device.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 27, 2023
    Publication date: June 29, 2023

  • Patent number: 11619651
    Abstract: A deformable phantom, according to the present invention, has a housing made of a MRI invisible material enclosing a sealed reservoir filled with a MRI signal producing material, a piston slidably mounted within a sleeve and extending into the sealed reservoir, wherein the sleeve is slidably mounted to the housing and extends into the sealed reservoir, and a deformable structure within the sealed reservoir. The piston and sleeve move opposite to one another to conserve a constant fluid volume within the sealed reservoir as the piston moves in and out of the sealed reservoir to cause motion and/or deformation of the deformable structure.

  • Patent number: 9576488
    Abstract: Animation and visualization of roadway performance analytics in a dashboard presentation in an integrated performance measurement system comprises analyzing collected traffic data to generate measured congestion information that reflects current conditions in one or more links, segments, or corridors comprising a roadway. The measured congestion information is presented in one or more sets of indicia on a graphical user interface so that current congestion conditions can be viewed and analyzed by a user. The measured congestion information is represented as gauges displaying percentage increases or decreases relative to a particular time, as animated maps showing a selectable set of current congestion conditions, as one or more graphs of current congestion conditions over time, as chart-based displays of costs and causes of current congestion conditions, and a data feed listing textual live updates.

  • Patent number: 8757084
    Abstract: An improved inspection apparatus includes a control apparatus, a tractor apparatus comprising a tractor and a drive mechanism connected together, the drive mechanism being connected with the control apparatus, a tether apparatus disposed on the tractor and being movable between a deployed position and a retracted position, and a buoy apparatus. The buoy apparatus is connected with the tether apparatus and includes a buoy and a camera apparatus, the buoy in a condition submerged in a fluid applying a buoyant force to the camera apparatus whereby in the deployed position of the tether apparatus the buoy apparatus is in an elevated position situated relatively higher in a vertical direction than in the retracted position of the tether apparatus wherein the buoy apparatus is in another position situated relatively lower in the vertical direction, the camera apparatus being structured to provide a visual output signal to the control apparatus.
