Abstract: A paving machine for spreading, leveling and finishing concrete having a main frame, center module, bolsters laterally movably, and a crawler track associated with respective aft and forward ends of the bolsters. A bolster swing leg for each crawler track supports an upright jacking column. A worm gear drive permits rotational movements of the crawler track and the jacking column. A hinge bracket is interposed between each swing leg and a surface of the bolsters to enable pivotal movements of the swing leg. A length-adjustable holder engages the pivot pin on the hinge bracket and pivotally engages the swing leg. The holder permits pivotal motions of the swing leg in its length-adjustable configuration and prevents substantially any motion of the swing leg in its fixed-length configuration. A feedback loop cooperates with transducers keeping the crawler tracks position. The paving machine can be reconfigured into a narrowed transport configuration.

Abstract: A method is presented for simulating marine assets (MA) in an offshore operation. The marine assets comprise at least an anchor, a line coupling the anchor with a winch, and a support platform located offshore for supporting the winch. The method involves a computation stage for estimating a state of the marine assets using a computational model and received sensor data (Ds) pertaining to a state of the marine assets and/or of an environment (ME) wherein the marine assets are used. The computational model of the marine assets (MA) includes at least a specification of an anchor, a specification of a winch and a specification of a line coupling the anchor with the winch. The at least a line is modeled as a first portion extending between the winch and a touch-down point where the line touches the seabed and a second portion extending between the touch-down point and the anchor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of proximity communications and especially methods for establishing associations, transferring power and communicating data between devices. Devices are proposed to interact with each other, initially by being brought into close proximity to initiate transfer of data that enables the device to communicate with other devices similarly brought together. The devices can be used as a controller or an appliance or both. There is also provided a power transfer mechanism for controller and appliance devices which do not have locally available power at the time the initial proximity action is taking place, so that the processes associated with the data transfer can take place regardless. There is also described a two part device, one part of which provides the proximity communications capability the other part does not have.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method to classify optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The present system can classify OCT images without first segmenting the retina tissue. The system can generate one or more profiles from vertical transects through the OCT images. The system can identify image statistics based on the one or more profiles. The system's classifier can then classify the OCT images based on the identified image statistics.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method to segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The present system uses a hybrid method that employs both Bayesian level sets (BLS) and graph-based segmentation algorithms. The system first identifies retinal tissue within an OCT image using the BLS algorithms. The identified retinal tissue is then further segmented using the graph-based segmentation algorithms.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes systems and methods to select fovea containing optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. The systems and methods described herein receive a plurality of OCT images. The portion of the OCT images are selected for further processing, where a line tracing the border between the retina and non-retina tissue is generated. A difference of the line is generated. Candidate OCT images are then generated responsive to the generated difference line. The lowest point among each difference lines generated for each of the OCT images is identified, and the OCT image to which the lowest point corresponds is identified as the fovea containing OCT image.
