  • Patent number: 8620045
    Abstract: The present invention provides a motion analysis system for measuring the relative function of one anatomical structure to another based on optical fiducial markers tracked in a series of images and in turn data, where the components of hard and soft tissue are used in analysis and where the image data can be compared in a time series such that probabilities of involvement with various tissues can be correlated to the image data. The system measures displacement at various positions and can relate the data to various muscle and other soft tissue variations within the constraints of the anatomy and physiology including motion in three dimensional space, including rotations and translations and functions including velocity and acceleration.

  • Publication number: 20130290670
    Abstract: A system that includes a memory, a tilelet data structure entry, a first tile freelist, and an allocation subsystem. The memory includes a first tilelet on a first tile. The tilelet data structure entry includes a first tilelet preferred pagesize assigned to a first value. The first tile freelist for the first tile includes a first tile in-bounds page freelist, and a first tile out-of-bounds page freelist. The allocation subsystem is configured to detect that a first physical page is freed, store, in the first tile in-bounds page freelist, a first page data structure, detect that a second physical page is freed, store, in the first tile out-of-bounds page freelist, a second page data structure, and coalesce the memory using the second page and at least one of the physical pages associated with the plurality of out-of-bounds page data structures into a third physical page.

  • Publication number: 20130288678
    Abstract: A femto cell service framework is employed for registration, activation, and provisioning of femtocell service. An account management service enables femtocell account creation, and registration thereof. Registration includes validation of wireless coverage for a location of operation of a femto AP, and validation of availability enhanced 911 (E911) service. As part of registration provisioning, record(s) are updated to indicate registration status. Connection of femto AP to a network interface triggers activation process; the femto AP delivers an activation request. A femto network validates registration of the connected femto AP and conducts a location tolerance check of a received actual location of the femto AP and a registered location. Upon tolerance validation, a cell identifier and radio frequency channel(s) are assigned to femto AP. When femto AP radiates wireless signal, network activation status indicators are provisioned. Handling of errors that arise during registration or activation is provided.

  • Publication number: 20130290752
    Abstract: A system including memory and a resource controller. The memory includes a first memgroup and a second memgroup, wherein the first memgroup comprises a first physical page mapped to a virtual page, and wherein the second memgroup comprises a second physical page. The resource controller is configured to receive a request to stop the first memgroup, instruct a memory power management subsystem to mark the first memgroup as stopped in response to receiving the request to stop the first memgroup, wherein no free pages are allocated from the first memgroup after the first memgroup is marked as stopped, remap the virtual page to the second physical page in response to the marking the first memgroup as stopped, and reduce power to the first memgroup in response to a determination that the first physical page is not mapped to the virtual page.

  • Publication number: 20130290669
    Abstract: In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a system that includes memory and a prediction subsystem. The memory includes a first memgroup and a second memgroup, wherein the first memgroup comprises a first physical page and a second physical page, wherein the first physical page is a first subtype, and wherein the second physical page is a second subtype. The prediction subsystem is configured to obtain a status value indicating an amount of freed physical pages on the memory, store the status value in a sample buffer comprising a plurality of previous status values, determine, using the status value and the plurality of previous status values, a deficiency subtype state for the first subtype based on an anticipated need for the first subtype on the memory, and instruct, based on the determination, an allocation subsystem to coalesce the second physical page to the first subtype.

  • Publication number: 20130191041
    Abstract: In a general methodology for insulation defect identification in a generator core, a Chattock coil is used to measure magnetic potential difference between teeth. Physical knowledge and empirical knowledge is combined in a model to predict insulation damage location and severity. Measurements are taken at multiple excitation frequencies to solve for multiple characteristics of the defect.

  • Patent number: 8407972
    Abstract: A container sealing apparatus 10 comprises an electrically conductive linearly displaceable cutting member 14 operable to cut a portion 18 of sealing material from a web 16 and an independently linearly displaceable transfer member 42 comprising an electrically insulating material and extendible relative to the cutting member 14 to transfer the cut portion 18 of sealing material to an open top of a container 12 to be sealed. An induction coil 52 produces an induction field 54 for heating the cut portion 18 of sealing material, either directly or indirectly, by induction heating to seal the cut portion 18 of sealing material to the open top of the container 12. The linearly displaceable transfer member 42 holds the cut portion 18 of sealing material against the open top of the container 12 during induction heating.

  • Publication number: 20130079964
    Abstract: The present invention provides a communication and analysis system that can manage data operations with a vehicle centric system with a planned route path. A vehicle that is in a communications link with a network can also manage its activities based on real time, historical and predictive knowledge, without having this all knowledge processing on board. Such data processing would include a cluster analysis of geo-spatial, internal functions and operator specific requirements. The rule based system would also incorporate the use patterns of a specific vehicle, or a specific user. A vehicle operator or vehicle multiple operators could share or upload information that would assist with efficient data processing and display, including fuel conservation and time management. Cluster weighting patterns can be assigned based on activities as efficient operation, safe travel and navigation.
