Abstract: A computer-tomography (CT) imaging system, comprising an imaging data acquisition system. The imaging data acquisition system includes a plurality of sets of a detector section, a storage section, and an aggregation section. The detector section includes a plurality of detector elements each being configured to convert radiation into electric signals. The aggregation section is configured to aggregate imaging data carried by the electronic signals from the detector section. The storage section is connected with an output of the detector section and an input of the aggregation section. The storage section comprises a predetermined number of non-volatile memories to store the imaging data from the corresponding detector elements.

Abstract: A location system includes two entities that are attempting to co-locate one another. The entities detect and transmit locating information, such as image/video data identifying information, image/video data of the environment, audio data of the environment, or detected signals, to either the other entity or a micro-location server. Analysis is performed on the signals to determine whether the entities are in the same or a similar proximity. Example analysis includes facial recognition of a user (a first entity) in video data captured by a vehicle (a second entity). If the data satisfies a location matching condition (the entities are in a close proximity), then a location refining signal is generated and transmitted to one or both of the entities.

Abstract: Method for detecting metals in a liquid are described. The liquid is contacted with a hexahydrotriazine and/or a hemiaminal material, and a UV absorption spectrum of the material before and after exposure to the liquid is examined to determine whether metals are present in the liquid.

Abstract: A wireless communication system for use in well, subsea, and oilfield-related environments employs one or more wireless network devices that offer short-range wireless communication between devices without the need for a central network which may have a device using a BLUETOOTH protocol. The system may be used for telemetry, depth correlation, guidance systems, actuating tools, among other uses.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus, and computer program product for obtaining the location of, for example, a mobile device. An image of a target in a defined space is obtained, the target encoding data from which its location in the defined space may be determined. The position of a reference point in the image which represents the location of, for example, a mobile device, is determined relative to the target. The location of the mobile device in the defined paces is then determined by combining the location of the target in the defined space with an appropriately scaled version of the relative position of the reference point to the target in the image.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a compound of Formula I, its N-oxide or an agriculturally suitable salt of the compound (Formula I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are as defined in the disclosure.

Abstract: The present invention provides for processing voice data. The vocalic of at least one word associated with the electronic voice signal is elongated. The magnitude of at least one consonant spike of the at least one word associated with the electronic voice signal is increased. Through the emphasis of the consonants, intelligibility of speech is increased.

Abstract: This invention extends the range of optical data communication systems by trading speed for distance as well as integrating a plurality of pulses over time to define a single bit of information. Its goal is to increase current IRDA ranges from 1 m to 10 meters as this enables much more interactivity between an individual and a point of sale; this implementation also reduces the amount of wiring required for communication since RF transmission requires less wiring than an ac modem. The extended range of optical data communication is enabled through the use of intermediary relay stations spaced fairly far apart. IRDA communication, as is well known, uses very short duration optical pulses to send data up to 1 Mbit/sec; this has the concomitant effect of minimizing LED duty cycle and preventing excessive heating. As stated previously, this invention uses a number of integrated pulses to represent a single bit instead of utilizing a one to one correspondence between pulses and bits.

The system includes a data apparatus with customer identification, and a reader that determines the customer's pre-determined order and payment method by information provided to the reader on the data apparatus or by accessing a database that has the information and can be accessed by determining the customer identification.

Abstract: A method and system of subsea intervention comprises lowering one or more assemblies of intervention equipment into the sea. Underwater marine units (such as remote operated vehicles or small submarines) may be employed to connect the assemblies to each other and to the subsea wellhead equipment. The subsea wellhead equipment includes a carrier line spool (e.g., coiled tubing spool, wireline spool, slickline spool) and equipment to inject a carrier line from the carrier line spool into the subsea well. The carrier line spool can be located underwater, such as on the sea floor or positioned above the subsea wellhead equipment.

Abstract: A roadway luminaire is provided which includes a mast mount docking station securable to an end of a pole mast. The mast mount docking station includes a power plug electrically coupled to the power conductors. The luminaire includes a corresponding power plug which is electrically and mechanically coupled to the mast mount docking station via a twist-lock feature including mating keys and keyways in the docking station and luminaire, respectively. The luminaire includes several plug-in components such as a plug-in photoelectric cell, a plug-in starter and a capacitor press-fit into a molded cavity in the luminaire. The power plug of the luminaire is adaptable to be used with all international voltages. The twist-lock feature provides for a fool-proof mechanical and electrical connection to ensure that the correctly rated luminaire is connected to the supply voltage.
