| 20110058049 | Real-Time Image Stabilization - An apparatus and method for stabilizing image frames in a video data stream. A weighted average or centroid of the intensity or hue associated with pixels vs. the horizontal and vertical position of each pixel is calculated for a reference frame in the video data stream. A corresponding centroid is calculated for a subsequent frame in the stream. This image frame is then translated so that the centroid of the subsequent frame and the centroid of the reference frame coincide, reducing artifacts from shaking of the video capture device. Alternatively, the video stream frames may be divided into tiles and centroids calculated for each tile. The centroids of the tiles of a subsequent frame are curve fit to the centroids of tiles in a reference frame. An affine transform is then performed on the subsequent frame to reduce artifacts in the image from movements of the video capture device. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110090399 | Data Search, Parser, and Synchronization of Video and Telemetry Data - A system is provided that can parse both telemetry data and corresponding encoded video data wherein the telemetry and video data are subsequently synchronized based upon temporal information, such as a time stamp. The telemetry data and the video data are originally unsynchronized and the data for each is acquired by a separate device. The acquiring devices may be located within or attached to an aerial vehicle. The system receives the telemetry data stream or file and the encoded video data stream or file and outputs a series of synchronized video images with telemetry data. Thus, there is telemetry information associated with each video image. The telemetry data may be acquired at a different rate than the video data. As a result, telemetry data may be interpolated or extrapolated to create telemetry data that corresponds to each video image. The present system operates in real-time, so that data acquired from aerial vehicles can be displayed on a map. | 04-21-2011 |
| 20110188762 | Real-Time Composite Image Comparator - An apparatus and method for preparing a composite image from a video data stream and for identifying changed features in two composite images. Frames from the video data stream are transformed to a projected 2D image, aligned with adjacent frames and overlapping areas are averaged to provide a higher apparent resolution. The composite image can be stored in real-time. As a second composite image is prepared of the same location at a later time, portions of the second image can be compared to corresponding portions of the stored image after the intensities of the images are equalized. Image areas whose absolute difference exceeds a threshold are again intensity equalized. Areas that are again above threshold can be flagged for further scrutiny, either by a human or by a machine that performs object recognition. In this way, composite video images of a scene can be prepared and compared in real-time. | 08-04-2011 |

| 20120038778 | Self-Scanning Passive Infrared Personnel Detection Sensor - A system capable of low power personnel detection is based on a focused linear array of passive infrared detectors sampled and processed over time. For example, an exemplary system can have a sensor that captures infrared line images for personnel detection by scanning through a sensing plane of a linear array's field of view. In such a system, a processor controls the array sensor and stores the resulting images. Velocity characteristics of moving objects are incorporated into the images over time resulting in horizontal velocity profile images. Long wave infrared (LWIR) radiation can be sensed, which works in day and night conditions without illumination. LWIR sensors, such as microbolometers, as well as pyroelectrics, can be used. | 02-16-2012 |

| 20090014421 | Weld Repair Method for a Turbine Bucket Tip - A weld repair method uses a gas tungsten or plasma arc welding torch and matching filler. An amperage supplied to the torch and a travel speed of the torch are controlled to produce a weld bead having a mushroom shape. The weld bead is ground from all sides to remove at least one half of a thickness of the weld bead, and another weld bead is formed. The technique produces crack free welds with directionally solidified weld metal that is similar to that of the base material and hence has comparable mechanical properties. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090041611 | BRAZE ALLOY COMPOSITION WITH ENHANCED OXIDATION RESISTANCE AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME - A cobalt-based braze alloy composition comprises: 22 to 24.75% chromium by weight; 9 to 11% nickel by weight; 6.5 to 7.6% tungsten by weight; 3 to 4% tantalum by weight; 0.55 to 0.65% carbon by weight; 0.3 to 0.6% zirconium by weight; 0.15 to 0.3% titanium by weight; 1.5 to 2.6% boron by weight; 1 to 10% silicon by weight; and cobalt. There are also provided methods of using the same. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20090315387 | Add-on dump rack apparatus for pickup truck - A pivoting dump rack for an existing pickup truck. The pivoting dump rack is mounted on pivot mounts with a single axis above the tailgate end of an existing pickup truck bed. On each rail of the pickup truck bed a hydraulic lift is mounted on a support frame. The hydraulic lifts raise the rack while the support frame distributes the load on the hydraulic lifts as they are in use. The rack is long enough to extend from the tailgate to above the cab of the pickup truck while providing extensions mounted on each end of the rack to further lengthen the pivoting rack and to increase the length of loads that can be carried by the pivoting rack. An attachable dump bed may also be fitted on the pivoting rack to allow it to carry loose items such as dirt and construction debris. | 12-24-2009 |

| 20120022029 | TOPICAL PAIN RELIEVER AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A topical pain reliever and method of making the same is disclosed. The topical pain reliever may comprise effective amounts of water, glycerine, analgesic agent such as salicylic acid or a derivative thereof, and alcohol. The method of making the topical pain reliever may maintain the analgesic agent in suspension within a solution. The topical pain reliever may be applied to the skin of a user to provide pain relief without ingestion of the composition, thereby potentially avoiding adverse side effects. | 01-26-2012 |
