Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for real-time control of a charged particle pencil beam system during therapeutic treatment of a patient. In an aspect, the present disclosure is directed to measuring an actual shape, an actual intensity distribution, and an actual location at isocenter of the charged particle pencil beam. The actual data is compared to model treatment data in real time to determine if a statistically significant variance occurs in which case the charged particle pencil beam can be stopped mid-treatment for correction and/or analysis.

Abstract: Structured light approaches utilize a laser to project features, which are then captured with a camera. By knowing the disparity between the laser emitter and the camera, the system can triangulate to find the range. Four, 185 degree field-of-view cameras provide overlapping views over nearly the whole unit sphere. The cameras are separated from each other to provide parallax. A near-infrared laser projection unit sends light out into the environment, which is reflected and viewed by the cameras. The laser projection system will create vertical lines, while the cameras will be displaced from each other horizontally. This relative shift of the lines, as viewed by different cameras, enables the lines to be triangulated in 3D space. At each point in time, a vertical stripe of the world will be triangulated. Over time, the laser line will be rotated over all yaw angles to provide full a 360 degree range.

Abstract: A vehicle, a tool carriage assembly, and a system are disclosed. The vehicle includes drive wheels and a steering assembly which are responsive to control signal(s) to substantially correct a displacement error of the vehicle relative to an intended travel path. The tool carriage assembly includes a support section operatively mounted to a main body for relative movement. The support section is adapted to have mounted thereto a tool unit comprising a tool head. In response to a displacement error of the tool head relative to the intended travel path, the support section is responsive to one or more control signals to move relative to the main body to substantially correct the displacement error of the tool head. The system includes the vehicle having the tool carriage assembly mounted thereto, and a control system for controlling the correction of the displacement errors of the vehicle and the tool head.

Abstract: An atomic clock is used in conjunction with the GNSS receiver and the inertial sensors, creating a more capable inertial navigation system (INS). The system is composed of a GNSS receiver, an accurate clock, and a mechanism for measuring relative pose changes. The system being presented utilizes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to provide the relative pose changes, but other mechanisms can be used—like visual and ladar odometry. The GNSS receiver measures the pseudo-ranges to the GNSS satellites in the field of view. These measurements are “time tagged” with the accuracy of the atomic clock. The relative motion between the pseudo-ranges is measured using the IMU. Finally, the lock is achieved by filtering these measurements. The filtering mechanism can vary, from the traditional Kalman Filters to other mechanisms that attempt to minimize the mean square error.

Abstract: An assured message delivery system with resiliency receives messages from publishing client(s) and delivers them to subscribing clients. A primary system delivers the messages during normal operation. A secondary system mirroring the configuration of the primary system takes over responsibility for delivering the messages in the event of failure of the primary system. The secondary system is connected to the primary system over a communications link. The primary system sends copies of the messages to the secondary system over the communications link. The secondary system stores replicate messages and sends acknowledgement messages back to the primary system.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed. An active application, which is an application other than a phone application and an address book application, displays information. A selection is received of an information portion from within the displayed information, the information portion being other than a telephone number. Based on determining the pressing of the call-initiation key while the information portion is selected, and based on accessing contact information stored within the address book application without opening or displaying the address book application, a detected contact entry stored by the address book application is determined where the detected contact entry includes the information portion. A target telephone number associated with the detected contact entry is determined based on determining the detected contact entry. A call to the target telephone number is placed.

Abstract: Embodiments of a system and method for providing a user interface for managing calls received at a mobile device is described. The user interface provides an incoming call screen to the user, where the incoming call screen comprises a caller identification data field for displaying data associated with incoming calls and at least one key label field in which labels for mobile device keys (e.g. send and end keys) are displayed. The area of the caller identification data field is substantially greater than the area of the at least one key label field, enabling more information pertaining to incoming calls to be displayed to the user. In at least one embodiment, this is facilitated by providing user-selectable options for responding to incoming calls in an options menu, which can be accessed by a user but is not initially displayed to the user when an incoming call is first received.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods of managing the protein content of multiple distiller's grain co-products of a fermentation process. A valuable protein rich distiller's grain co-product having greater than 40 wt % protein on a dry basis can be removed from whole stillage or spent grains; however the protein content in the residual wet cake is reduced. The present invention provides for methods to mitigate protein depletion in wet cake by removing non-protein components from the wet cake stream, from the low protein thin stillage stream added to wet cake, or both streams. The present invention provides for blending protein depleted and protein enriched streams to meet the protein specifications of multiple distiller's grain co-products.
