  • Patent number: 10210621
    Abstract: A method for detecting changes in geospatial imagery. An imaging device is operated to take two images of a single location. The two images are received at processor, which normalizes the visible band and near infrared band of the two images. The two images are registered. Corresponding pixels of the two images are divided into a first group with slope and a second group without slope. Slope groupings are compared to determine which corresponding pixels have a probability of change greater than a predetermined threshold. Vector polygons are created based on the comparing slope groupings, to indicate areas of change in the two images. The areas of change in the two images are displayed on a display device.

  • Patent number: 9963623
    Abstract: A reactive hot melt (RHM) composition is provided as a mixture of a urethane prepolymer which is a reaction product of at least one crystallizable polyol, a perfluoropolyether polyol, and at least one isocyanate, a filler material, and a teachable plasticizer consisting of an aliphatic ester of a carboxylic acid.

  • Patent number: 6218455
    Abstract: This invention relates to improved vinyl acetate/ethylene copolymers emulsions polymerized in the presence of colloidal, nonionic, water dispersible polyurethanes. The improvement resides in polymerizing the vinyl acetate and ethylene in the presence of a costabilizer comprised of the colloidal, nonionic, water dispersible polyurethanes and a polyoxyethylene-polyalkylene glycol, a particularly polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene glycols.
