| 20090105954 | GEOSPATIAL MODELING SYSTEM AND RELATED METHOD USING MULTIPLE SOURCES OF GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION - A geospatial modeling system may include at least one geospatial information database to store stereo-geographic image data and geographic feature data. A processor may cooperate with the geospatial information database for generating cost coefficients defining a three-dimensional (3D) cost cube using image matching operators based upon the stereo-geographic image data, adjusting the cost coefficients of the 3D cost cube based upon the geographic feature data to generate an adjusted 3D cost cube, and generating a geospatial model based upon solving the adjusted 3D cost cube, e.g. for a best cost surface. The system and method provide an integrated approach to creating a geospatial model using available data from multiple sources. | 04-23-2009 |

The medical image analysis system may include a processor cooperating with a memory and configured to generate a plurality of cost arrays, with each cost array based upon probabilities of a subset of voxels of the second anatomical image data matching voxels of the first anatomical image data. The processor may also solve each cost array using three-dimensional, N-way belief propagation to thereby generate a deformation vector array between the first and second anatomical image data, where N is an integer greater than or equal to six. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110081061 | MEDICAL IMAGE ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR ANATOMICAL IMAGES SUBJECT TO DEFORMATION AND RELATED METHODS - A medical image analysis system is for first and second anatomical image data of a same body area and subject to deformation. The first and second anatomical image data includes respective first and second sets of voxels. The medical image analysis system includes a processor cooperating with a memory to generate a respective reach array for each voxel of the second anatomical image data, with each reach array being a subset of contiguous voxels. The processor also generates a cost array for each reach array, with each cost array based upon probabilities of voxels of the reach array matching voxels of the first anatomical image data. The processor may also solve each cost array using belief propagation to thereby generate a deformation vector array between the first and second anatomical image data. | 04-07-2011 |

| 20110108502 | ROPE BRAKING SYSTEM - A compression chuck for variously conducting and braking a rope, wherein the compression chuck includes a first and second portions. The invention includes a first biasing mechanism which maintains the compression chuck first and second portions in a disengaged condition with the rope, wherein the rope is conducted freely in response to outside forces on the rope. Also included is an actuator, wherein the actuator is operable to overbear the first biasing mechanism to place the compression chuck in an engaged condition with the rope in response to a rope break, braking movement of the rope. The first and second compression chuck portions may be carried on opposing parallel plates that are biased apart until the actuator moves such plates together in response to a rope break. At least one of the plates may be fixed to a crane head, crane, or other structure proximate a moving rope, when installed. | 05-12-2011 |
