Abstract: A computer-implemented system is provided that includes a plurality of endpoint databases employed to store medical images and metadata that describes attributes of the respective medical images. A management and orchestration platform periodically scans the endpoint databases to determine an index of the recently acquired medical images and associated metadata and updates to metadata associated with previously stored medical images. A search engine executes the search function to retrieve at least one of the recently acquired medical images and associated metadata and the recent updates to metadata associated with the previously stored medical images. The platform can also provide project management services and various collaborative, social networking type services. For example, the platform can facilitate collaborative review of medical image data, allowing users to rate and review the medical image data, annotate the medical image data, edit and augment the medical image data, and the like.

Abstract: A system for rendering delivery services is provided which includes a portable data collection device. The portable data collection device includes an integrated location determination system and also includes a processor, physical memory, an input device, and a wireless communication system. A trip schedule for an individual or item including a pickup location and a drop off location is provided to the portable data collection device. A respective location identifier is associated with the pickup and drop off locations. The trip schedule is displayed to an individual via the portable data collection device. The occurrence of a pickup is noted utilizing the portable data collection device. The location determination system of the portable data collection device provides a location of the portable data collection device at the occurrence of the pickup. The occurrence of a drop off is noted utilizing the portable data collection device.

Abstract: A magnetic field sensor is employed to determine a rotational velocity of an element by sensing frequency variations in a magnetic flux during rotation of the element. The magnetic field sensor includes a sensor face provided with obstacles, such as a series of spaced, substantially parallel grooves arranged perpendicular to a direction in which contamination tends to move across the face during operation of the sensor. The obstacles inhibit movement of contamination across the face such that the contamination does not cause false variations in the magnetic flux which would degrade sensor signals.

Abstract: A set of instructions stored on at least one computer readable medium for running on a computer system. The set of instructions includes instructions for identifying line segments of a roof that is preferably displayed within a geo-referenced image, instructions for determining position, orientation and length of the line segments utilizing the geo-referenced image, and instructions for classifying, automatically, at least one of the line segments as one of a plurality of predefined roof elements utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the line segments.

Abstract: A set of instructions stored on at least one computer readable medium for running on a computer system. The set of instructions includes instructions for identifying line segments of a roof that is preferably displayed within a geo-referenced image, instructions for determining three-dimensional information of the line segments including position, orientation and length of the line segments preferably utilizing the geo-referenced image, and instructions for classifying, automatically, at least one of the line segments as one of a plurality of predefined roof elements utilizing at least one of the relative position and orientation of the line segments.
