摘要:
A sentient system combines detection, tracking, and immersive visualization of a cluttered and crowded environment, such as an office building, terminal, or other enclosed site using a network of stereo cameras. A guard monitors the site using a live 3D model, which is updated from different directions using the multiple video streams. As a person moves within the view of a camera, the system detects its motion and tracks the person's path, it hands off the track to the next camera when the person goes out of that camera's view. Multiple people can be tracked simultaneously both within and across cameras, with each track shown on a map display. The track system includes a track map browser that displays the tracks of all moving objects as well as a history of recent tracks and a video flashlight viewer that displays live immersive video of any person that is being tracked.

A unified approach, a fusion technique, a space-time constraint, a methodology, and system architecture are provided. The unified approach is to fuse the outputs of monocular and stereo video trackers, RFID and localization systems and biometric identification systems. The fusion technique is provided that is based on the transformation of the sensory information from heterogeneous sources into a common coordinate system with rigorous uncertainties analysis to account for various sensor noises and ambiguities. The space-time constraint is used to fuse different sensor using the location and velocity information. Advantages include the ability to continuously track multiple humans with their identities in a large area. The methodology is general so that other sensors can be incorporated into the system. The system architecture is provided for the underlying real-time processing of the sensors.

A free-flowing, coated, frozen food and a method for making the same are disclosed. Discrete pieces of a free-flowing frozen food are introduced into a coating vessel where they are agitated to expose their surfaces and to maintain their free-flowing state throughout the coating process. A liquid coating material is sprayed onto the free-flowing pieces to cause coating material to adhere and the temperature at the surfaces of the frozen food pieces to rise. The surfaces of frozen food pieces are then recooled with a cryogen. The spraying and recooling steps are repeated until a thorough, even coating is built up on the discrete pieces of free-flowing food.

A solenoid comprising a first coil positioned within a frame from which a magnetizable armature, having a coil end and a free end, extends, the coil end of the armature having a section of non-magnetizable material secured to it, and a second coil, which coil is energizable in a manner independent from that of the first coil, the second coil being secured to the other end of the non-magnetizable material so as to move with the armature from a position adjacent the first coil when the armature is in extended position to a position spaced therefrom when the armature is in retracted position, whereby when the first coil is energized to move the armature along its throw into retracted position, the second coil is simultaneously energized so as produce a repulsive magnetic force with respect to that of the first coil. Magnetizable bridge devices are secured to the frame and automatically movable, upon energization of the coil and movement of the armature along its throw to retracted position, to become seatably positioned within the space between the coils over an end of the first coil in contact with the armature to provide across the coil end of the armature a magnetically conductive path for the magnetic field which will hold the armature firmly in retracted position, and, upon de-energization of the coils and return of the armature to its extended position, to become automatically moved from its seated position to a position and become clear of the space between the first and second coils.

A pulsed-field gradient gel electrophoretic apparatus is described wherein a free standing gel is employed. Electrode arrays are oriented to provide three dimensional fields across the face of the gel rather than in the plane of the gel. The electrodes produce three dimensional fields which are orthogonally oriented with respect to each other and cause the molecules to proceed down the lanes in the gel in a generally saw-tooth manner oscillating between the surfaces thereof. Alternately, three dimensional, electric fields are arranged at angles greater than 90.degree. to one another across the face of the gel in separating the molecules, following which transfer electrodes are substituted for the separation electrodes in order to transfer the molecules from their separation lanes onto a separate substrate.

Computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer-readable storage mediums are provided for use with a clinical decision support system for identifying and providing information regarding associations between patient attributes and one or more Adverse Events (AEs). In one example, a process includes processing database information comprising AEs and one or more patient attributes for associations between AEs and patient attributes and identifying at least one association between one or more AEs and one or more patient attributes. The association(s) may be discovered through an association rule discovery process to determine one or more association rules, where each association rule satisfies a confidence, support, and/or other threshold. The exemplary process further provides information or alerts to a user based on the identified or discovered association(s). The information may further be used to weight and reprioritize search results for AEs based on drug (prescription or otherwise) safety or efficacy information.

A method and apparatus for using information about a mobile terminal's location relative to a base station can improve performance of a communication system. In addition, information about the mobile terminal's velocity relative to the base station may be used to improve performance of the communication system. The location information may be used to estimate a nominal PN offset, and a set of PN offset to use, for processing communication signals. The velocity information may be used to estimate a nominal frequency of the communication signals.

Methods and systems for usage-based product definition are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes instancing one or more usage-based product definition inputs, and assessing at least one of an applicability expression, an engineering requirement, and a manufacturing availability expression. The method further includes generating the product definition based on at least some of the usage-based product definition inputs, applicability expressions, engineering requirements, and manufacturing availabilities. In alternate embodiments, the instancing may include transforming a coordinate system of a component from a component-centered coordinate system to a product-centered coordinate system.
