Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning driven assessment system for monitoring electrical equipment assets includes a computer system that is configured to receive user-provided asset data associated with operation of a plurality of electrical equipment assets operated by a plurality of users/owners, where the identity of any asset in the database is restricted and only known to the user that owns/operates the asset. The computer system is configured to analyze the user data in conjunction with a pooled knowledge database so as to generate courses of action or assessments for the monitored electrical equipment assets and to update the analysis process based on feedback from a comparison of the assessment or course of action with an actual outcome.

Abstract: This disclosure provides a system and method for separating a first signal from a second signal of a plurality of constituent signals within a composite signal. The method can include receiving a first portion of the composite signal at a first clock rate and exponentiating it to detect the first signal and the second signal within the composite signal and determine modulation estimates of the first and second signals and at least one symbol rate. The method can also include resampling the first portion based on the modulation estimates at x-times the at least one symbol rate to determine symbol trajectory, modulation type, and offset information between the first signal and the second signal. The method can include determining a synthesized first signal and a synthesized second signal representing the first signal and the second signal within the first period of time at a second clock rate that is a multiple of the first clock rate.

Abstract: A geo-location provider station signs geo-location data and a previous signature provided by a mobile device, returning a new signature to the mobile device. The mobile device uses the new signature when requesting a signature from another geo-location provider station. The mobile device stores the geo-location data and the signatures provided by geo-location provider stations. The stored geo-location data may be verified upon request by using the stored signature data.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for determining an object position based on range data and determined location data. In the context of a method, the method includes receiving blink data from location tag at a plurality of receivers, determining a tag location based on the blink data, receiving range data from the location tag at a plurality of range detectors based on the tag location, and determining a precision tag position based on the range data.

Abstract: A circumferentially constraining suture for an endovascular prosthesis having a tubular body and a plurality of stents coupled to the tubular body includes a first thread coupled at a first end to one of the stents and a first thread loop disposed opposite the first end. The first thread extends only partially around a circumference of the tubular body in a radially expanded configuration. A second thread having a second thread loop is interlocked with the first thread loop and extends from the first thread loop around a remainder of the circumference of the tubular body. Pulling the second thread causes the first thread to circumferentially constrain the tubular body to a reduced diameter configuration. A trigger wire inserted through the first thread loop retains the first thread such that the tubular body is in the reduced diameter configuration after removal of the second thread.
