Abstract: A system for detecting structural damage to a rigid structure, the system comprising: at least one impact generator capable of applying a one-time impact on the structure; an acoustic sensor; a vibration sensor; and a processing circuitry configured to: provide an indication of the structural damage to the rigid structure upon (a) a first deviation above a first threshold between an expected acoustic wave profile, expected to radiate from the structure, absent the structural damage, and an actual acoustic wave profile being measured by the acoustic sensor in response to an application of the one-time impact, or (b) a second deviation above a second threshold between an expected to vibration profile of expected vibrations of the structure, absent the structural damage, and an actual vibration profile in response to the application.

Abstract: An assembly for delivering tumor-treating fields to a body of a patient can include an electrode subassembly and one or more replaceable adhesive subassemblies. Each adhesive subassembly can have a support layer having a first side and a second side. The support layer can define at least one opening. Each electrode of the electrode subassembly can be received within a respective opening of the at least one opening. A first adhesive can be disposed on the first side of the support layer and can couple the support layer to an inner side of a covering layer of the electrode subassembly at an attachment surface of the covering layer. A biocompatible conductive adhesive can be disposed on the second side of the support layer.

Abstract: This invention is directed to a multi-functional replaceable panel assembly for a bag allowing a user to add a functionality to the bag and/or to vary its appearance.

Abstract: A magnetic pouch attachment mechanism may include one or more magnetic pouch mounts having an alignment plate with one or more magnetic areas disposed within the alignment plate. The magnetic pouch mount may also include a pouch that may be removably coupled with the one or more magnetic pouch mounts such that when the pouch is placed in proximity to the one or more magnetic pouch mounts, an attractive magnetic force is exerted between the pouch and the one or more magnetic pouch mounts such that the pouch aligns with and couples to the one or more magnetic pouch mounts. A mounting bracket coupled to the pouch may include one or more bracket magnetic areas disposed within the mounting bracket and configured to induce an attractive magnetic force with the one or more magnetic areas.

Abstract: A method and system for scheduling events into a set of opportunities is presented. The method includes 1) dividing a path of an image acquisition device so that there is at least a first portion and a second portion at any given moment, wherein each of the first portion and the second portion includes at least one state and the first portion includes a null state in which no image is taken; 2) combining each state in the first portion with at least one state in the second portion one by one to generate a series of updated sequences; and 3) selecting at least one of the updated sequences based on a merit value associated with each of the updated sequences. The invention uses only two groups out of all the relevant opportunities for most calculations, and is especially applicable to situations like satellite pass scheduling.

Abstract: A traction system for a vehicle has a support frame that defines a circular track belt support that is revolvable about an axis at its center, a flexible track belt; and a track belt stretching assembly comprising one or more track belt stretching rollers. The system has one traction configuration in which the flexible traction belt is held on said support track forming a substantially circular, wheel-like traction surface, and can change to a stretching state in which said rollers engage said belt and stretch it from its state in said one traction configuration to a stretched state to define one or more other traction configurations of the system.
