Abstract: Subject matter regards generating a 3D point cloud and registering the 3D point cloud to the surface of the Earth (sometimes called “geo-locating”). A method can include capturing, by unmanned vehicles (UVs), image data representative of respective overlapping subsections of the object, registering the overlapping subsections to each other, and geo-locating the registered overlapping subsections.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing clock fault detection is presented. A first clock of a plurality of clocks on a printed circuit board (PCB) is designated as a reference clock. A reference clock counter is in communication with the reference clock, counting cycles of the reference clock. A counter is provided for each other clock of the plurality of clocks, each counter counting cycles of a respective clock. The reference clock counter and each of the counters are started at a same time. When the reference clock counter reaches a maximum count value the value of each of the counters is stored and a determination is made whether the stored values are expected values.

Abstract: In a system, device, and method for controlling access to a memory, a memory interface device is used to coordinate access to a memory device by a number of host applications. The memory interface device is situated between the number of host applications and the memory device. The memory interface device received memory access requests from the number of host applications, interacts with the memory device for servicing the memory access requests, and provides result/status information to the number of host applications. The memory interface device maintains a separate context for each memory access request in order to correlate each memory access request with the host application that issued the memory access request and the result/status information generated for the memory access request.

Abstract: A turbulator for heat exchange tubes made of two metal strips. Each metal strip is formed into a plurality of turbulence nodules which are preferably V-shaped and alternately extend in two different directions. The two metal strips are connected to each other at the places of joinder of the turbulence nodules, providing an end view of generally X-shaped configuration. The alternating pairs of turbulence nodules provide an enhanced buffeting action and heat exchange without an undesirable excessive pressure drop. In the preferred embodiment, each metal strip is tapered having a narrow end tapering to a relatively wide end.

Abstract: Method and means for separating emulsified and entrained oils from water, machine coolants, and substantially any other liquid comprising initially directing a flow stream into an inlet trap for removing relatively large particles from the flow stream, passing the flow stream through a centrifuge for removing substantially all of the entrained solids in the flow stream, moving the flow stream through a de-emulsifier for coalescing of the emulsified oil into droplets sufficiently large for processing in a separator and for filtering any remaining solids from the flow stream, providing a backwash action from the de-emulsifier for recycling of said finally removed solids through the centrifuge, passing the flow stream through a separator for separation of the oil from the other liquid components of the flow stream whereby the separated oil and clean effluent may be removed from the system.
