  • Patent number: 12365373
    Abstract: Assemblies, systems, and methods for inspecting vehicles are disclosed. An assembly can comprise a first angled camera, a second angled camera, an upright camera, lights, and a housing configured to attach to a railway between opposing rails. The first angled camera can be oriented at least partially in a vertical direction and at least partially in a first horizontal direction, and directed to a first target region from a first viewpoint. The second angled camera can be oriented at least partially in the vertical direction and at least partially in a second horizontal direction that is substantially opposite the first horizontal direction, and directed to a second target region from a second viewpoint. The upright camera can be oriented substantially in a vertical direction, and configured to capture images of a third target region from a third viewpoint.

  • Patent number: 12348880
    Abstract: An inspection assembly can comprise a first camera, a second camera, one or more lights, and a housing. The first camera can be angled at least partially in a vertical direction and at least partially in a horizontal direction to thereby be configured to capture images of a target region in a three-dimensional space from a first viewpoint. The second camera can be positioned apart from the first camera, angled at least partially in the vertical direction and at least partially in the horizontal direction, and directed to the target region from a second viewpoint that is different from the first viewpoint. The housing can comprise a base and a shroud and can be configured to attach to one or more rail ties and to at least partially envelop the first camera and the second camera.

  • Patent number: 12338155
    Abstract: An enclosure for providing a controlled environment includes a central plane extending through a top end of the enclosure and a bottom end of the enclosure and bisecting the enclosure along a width of the enclosure, an inlet at the bottom end of the enclosure having an inlet width, Winlet, an enclosure wall extending from the inlet to the top end of the enclosure, an entry port at the top end of the enclosure, and an outlet between the entry port and the chamber region of the enclosure wall. The enclosure wall comprises a chamber region and a transition region between the inlet and the chamber region. The width of the chamber region, Wchamber, is substantially constant through the chamber region. The width of the enclosure in the transition region decreases from Wchamber to Winlet, and a ratio of Winlet to Wchamber is from 1:2 to 1:5.

  • Publication number: 20250203120
    Abstract: Given a sequence of images in a first codeword representation, methods, processes, and systems are presented for image reshaping using rate distortion optimization, wherein reshaping allows the images to be coded in a second codeword representation which allows more efficient compression than using the first codeword representation. Syntax methods for signaling reshaping parameters are also presented.

  • Patent number: 12312354
    Abstract: The invention provides a series of conformationally stable and selective, irreversible kinase inhibitors, and methods of using the kinase inhibitors. The effect of atropisomerism on kinase selectivity was assessed, finding improved selectivity compared to rapidly interconverting parent compounds. The compounds herein are atropisomers having increased kinase selectivity and are for use in treating conditions that benefit from selective BTK kinase inhibition.

  • Publication number: 20250118445
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to optimize resources of a medical device system, including to analyze physiologic information of a patient occurring over specific time periods relative to a prior heart failure event, to adjust, in response to a detected or received trigger event, a baseline value for the patient from a long-term baseline value to one of a shorter-term baseline value or a static value indicative of a baseline value at a prior time relative to the detected or received trigger event, to determine a readmission score for the patient based on the analyzed physiologic information, and to provide a control signal to control a mode or operation of the medical device system based on the readmission score to optimize resources of the medical device system.

  • Publication number: 20250117885
    Abstract: A method may include generating a hybrid image associated with a first interpretation corresponding to a first value of a media parameter and a second interpretation corresponding to a second value of the media parameter. The hybrid image may include a first visibility ratio between the first interpretation and the second interpretation. The method may include refining the hybrid image to create a refined hybrid image that includes a second visibility ratio different than the first visibility ratio. The method may include displaying the refined hybrid image, and receiving a user input related to a first perception of the refined hybrid image by a user. The method may include determining, based at least in part on the user input, an optimized value of the media parameter, and providing output media for display to the user to a playback device according to the optimized value of the media parameter.

  • Patent number: 12268495
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided for utilizing user movement data obtained from one or more wearable sensors during physical activity to compare individualized changes overtime, for example typical versus atypical movement patterns, with subgroup analyses for assessing changes between other users in order to develop an assessment of movement for, for example, tracking injury risk, performance, and/or rehabilitation. The movement information may comprise multi-sensor, high dimensional datasets. Techniques are provided for integrating human movement data from one or more wearable sensor with one or more additional data sources to define an individualized movement profile of a user's movements. The user or another individual may be notified when the user's movements deviate from this individualized movement profile.

  • Publication number: 20250086314
    Abstract: A system can include one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to receive a message of a message or event stream, the message including a medical data or other data. The instructions cause the one or more processors to parse the message into a plurality of components representing personal identifying information of the medical data. The instructions cause the one or more processors to transform the plurality of components to de-identify the personal identifying information. The instructions cause the one or more processors to write a second message based on the plurality of transformed components.

  • Publication number: 20250083720
    Abstract: Railcar inspection systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed, including a railcar inspection portal. The railcar inspection portal includes a physical structure positioned around a railroad track, and through which a railcar can travel. The railcar inspection portal can include wheel detection sensors along the railroad track for detecting the presence of a railcar passing over the sensors. The sensors can transmit signals, corresponding to railcars passing over the sensors, to computing devices for determining railcar speeds. The railcar inspection portal can include imaging devices configured to capture images and readings of railcars passing through the inspection portal. Based on a determined speed corresponding to a passing railcar, the computing devices can control the imaging devices to capture specific areas or components of the passing railcar, or individual cars thereon.
