Abstract: A light field display includes one or more light field pixels. Each light field pixel includes differently colored light field subpixels that each project a pattern of light of a uniform (single) color. The differently colored light field subpixels are arranged close together such that a viewer perceives adjacent ones of the light field subpixels of different colors as blending together. The light field display may be formed of a lens array including lenslets, a monochrome LCD panel, and a color zoned backlight having differently colored zones respectively corresponding to the locations of the lenslets. The differently colored zones of the color zoned backlight respectively illuminate the differently colored light field subpixels.

The aerial light show system includes a control system configured to control the movement of the aerial vehicles, to modify the brightness and/or color of (e.g., dim or turn off) a light beam of each aerial vehicle at each position projected in a specified direction that is occluded by the virtual 3D scene, and to not modify the brightness and/or color of a light beam of each aerial vehicle at each position projected in a specified direction that is not occluded by the virtual 3D scene.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for processing a set of multiple serially acquired magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) free induction decay (FID) frames from a multi-frame MRS acquisition series from a region of interest (ROI) in a subject, and for providing a post-processed MRS spectrum. Processing parameters are dynamically varied while measuring results to determine the optimal post-processed results. Spectral regions opposite water from chemical regions of interest are evaluated and used in at least one processing operation. Frequency shift error is estimated via spectral correlation between free induction decay (FID) frames and a reference spectrum. Multiple groups of FID frames within the acquired set are identified to different phases corresponding with a phase step cycle of the acquisition. Baseline correction is also performed via rank order filter (ROF) estimate and a polynomial fit.

The MV display system may include features that enable individual MV display devices to be easily and efficiently tiled to form a larger MV display. A graphical interface enables a user to graphically specify viewing zones and associate content that will be visible in those zones in a simple manner. A calibration procedure enables the specification of content at precise viewing locations.

Abstract: A method includes determining whether the first version is an alias with respect to the second version, the alias being defined as an equivalent version of the YANG module. Based at least in part on a determination that the first version is the alias with respect to the second version, a version alias extension is inserted into a revision label of the first and/or second version. Based on a determination that the second version is backwards compatible with respect to the first version, a version backwards compatible extension is inserted into the revision label of the second version. Based at least in part on a determination that the second version is not backwards compatible with respect to the first version, a version non-backwards compatible extension is inserted into the revision label of the second version.

Abstract: A housing for a gas turbine engine accessory includes an enclosure having a drive end with an opening and a closure. The closure is seated in the opening, defines therethrough a shaft aperture and has a v-band flange extending about a periphery of the closure to limit load carried by the enclosure when the engine accessory is mounted to an accessory gearbox mount in a cantilevered arrangement. Engine accessories for gas turbine engines and mounting arrangements for gas turbine engine accessories are also described.

Abstract: A risk management system includes a plurality of sensors coupled to a processor and to an electrical device, which may be a utility asset, to monitor operational characteristics of the electrical device. The processor may send sensor data and/or processed information to a memory for storage. The processed information, the sensor data, or both are visually and graphically presented in a radar chart, a table, and a sliding scale interface for both selecting data and interpreting data provided by the processor. The combination of the radar chart, the table, and the sliding scale interface allows a user of any level of training or education to quickly and efficiently interpret the sensor data, the processed information, or both with respect to the electrical device. The radar chart depicts a failure profile that provides a visual summary of determined risk scores corresponding to subcomponents of the electrical device that may need investigation, maintenance, or replacement.

Abstract: An MR Spectroscopy (MRS) system and approach is provided for diagnosing painful and non-painful discs in chronic, severe low back pain patients (DDD-MRS). A DDD-MRS pulse sequence generates and acquires DDD-MRS spectra within intervertebral disc nuclei for later signal processing and diagnostic analysis. An interfacing DDD-MRS signal processor receives output signals of the DDD-MRS spectra acquired and is configured to optimize signal-to-noise ratio by an automated system that selectively conducts optimal channel selection, phase and frequency correction, and frame editing as appropriate for a given acquisition series. A diagnostic processor calculates a diagnostic value for the disc based upon a weighted factor set of criteria that uses MRS data extracted from the acquired and processed MRS spectra for multiple chemicals that have been correlated to painful vs. non-painful discs. A display provides an indication of results for analyzed discs as an overlay onto a MRI image of the lumbar spine.

Abstract: A method for assessing risk to a marine hydrocarbon recovery operation involves collecting a set of training images and labeling sea surface anomalies on the set of training images. The set of training images and associated labels are used to train a model via backpropagation. A set of non-training images is collected and the trained model is applied to identify a potentially disruptive sea surface anomaly on the set of non-training images. Any risk to the marine hydrocarbon recovery operation by the potentially disruptive sea surface anomaly is then assessed.

Abstract: Methods and systems for garbage collection are described. In some embodiments, Garbage collector threads may maximize local accesses and minimize remote access by copying Young objects and Old objects differently. When copying a Young object, a garbage collector thread may determine the lgroup of the pool that contains the object and copy the object to a pool of the same lgroup. The garbage collector thread may spread Old objects among lgroups by copying Old objects to pools of the same lgroup as the respective garbage collector thread. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.
