| 20100074481 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ANALYZING GROWTH OF COMPUTER DETECTED PATTERNS ON DIGITAL MEDICAL IMAGES - Methods and systems are provided for displaying the change in size of a CAD identified pattern over time. Patterns on medical images stored in a medical imaging database are identified and measured using a CAD system. A user interface provides users with access to the medical images stored in imaging database via a network. A medical image belonging to a patient historical exam category and having at least one CAD identified pattern is displayed to a user via the user interface. The size of the CAD identified image pattern and the medical exam date associated with the medical image is compiled for each of the medical images belonging to the patient historical exam category. A graphic is then generated showing the sizes of the CAD identified image pattern and the medical exam dates associated with the medical image. | 03-25-2010 |

| 20080270070 | Methods and systems for computing gear modifications - A method of computing gear modifications from a gear inspection chart is provided. The method includes extracting a gear profile from the gear inspection chart. The method also includes quantifying the gear profile. The method also includes determining a gear modification based on a quantified gear profile. The method also includes qualifying a gear based on the gear modification. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20100158349 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING CONTACT PATTERNS - A gear inspection system and method for a gearbox, wherein an image acquisition unit is oriented proximate the gearbox with a field of view of a section of the gears. The image acquisition unit obtains images of a gear tooth and corresponding contact pattern. In one embodiment a processing unit transforms the images to a gear tooth model so that the gear tooth image and contact pattern image matches the model gear tooth. Metrics are computed for the contact pattern, and based on threshold values, a determination is made as to whether the gearbox is acceptable. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110211940 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSPECTION OF STATOR VANES - Embodiments of the invention include an inspection system to inspect internal components of a compressor of a gas turbine engine. The inspection system includes an image recording assembly having one or more image recording devices, light sources, storage devices, and power supplies. The image recording assembly may be inserted into a compressor without removal of the compressor housing or disassembly of the compressor. The image recording assembly may be removably coupled to a rotary component of the compressor, e.g., a rotor blade, and used to record images of stationary components, e.g., stator vanes, of the compressor. The images may be inspected to identify wear and/or defects in the stationary components, e.g., stator vanes | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110267428 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING A TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE ONTO A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL - In one embodiment, a system includes a turbine comprising multiple components in fluid communication with a working fluid. The system also includes an imaging system in optical communication with at least one component. The imaging system is configured to receive a two-dimensional image of the at least one component during operation of the turbine, and to map the two-dimensional image onto a three-dimensional model of the at least one component to establish a composite model. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20120026306 | Image Recording Assemblies and Coupling Mechanisms For Stator Vane Inspection - A system is disclosed that includes an image recording assembly for recording images of a stator vane of a compressor and a mechanism configured to magnetically couple the image recording assembly to a rotor blade of a compressor.

| 20110261147 | Recording a Videoconference Using a Recording Server - A videoconference may be initiated between a plurality of endpoints. At least one of the endpoints may be coupled to a recording server, which may be configured to record the videoconference. A configuration may be selected (e.g., automatically or manually) for performing the recording. The endpoint (e.g., acting as an MCU) may transmit information to endpoints and may transmit recording information to the recording server. The recording information may be different from the videoconference information. For example, it may be in a “streaming friendly” format, at a different bit rate, encoded differently, have different inputs, etc. The manner in which the videoconference is stored and/or recorded may be based on the selected configuration. Clients may be configured to receive and display the videoconference from the recording server and may be configured to change the provided layout to different layouts, e.g., based on user input. | 10-27-2011 |
