20150088183 | SURGICAL TOOL MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE - A device for simultaneously monitoring the health of surgical drills and detecting proximity to critical structures during surgery is described herein. By using various sensors (e.g. microphones, accelerometers, temperature sensors, etc.), signals from the drill can be measured and analyzed. The processed signals can then be used to indicate the proximity of the drill bit to critical structures, such as the patient's brain, and identify drill health issues (e.g. worn bearings, misaligned rotational axis, etc.). | 03-26-2015 |

20090021587 | Method, system and apparatus for jointly calibrating color digital cameras and monitors - A computer program product and method for calibrating and characterizing a color display perform calibrating and characterizing steps. A light source is operated in order to emit light from one or more light emitters on the light source. A color capture device, e.g., a digital camera, is calibrated and characterized based on the emitted light. Then, color images are displayed on the color display and captured on the color capture device. The color display is calibrated and characterized based on the captured color images. Computer program instructions are recorded on the computer readable medium, and are executable by a processor, for performing the calibrating and characterizing steps. A method for generating a controlled light source includes displaying light source selections to a user and receiving a user light source selection. Selected light emitters produce a light output matching the user light source selection. | 01-22-2009 |

20110228338 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEVELOPING A PRINT SHOP CONFIGURATION - A system is provided for forming a print shop configuration with a first set of equipment, the first set of equipment being derived from a second set of equipment from a first print shop and a third set of equipment from a second print shop. The system includes a manager and application, the manager and application working together to generate a list of at least some of all possible print shop configurations that could be formed with a selected number of cells. The cells are populated with selected pieces of equipment from the second and third sets of multiple pieces of equipment. A criterion is used to select, from the list of possible print shop configurations, the print shop configuration with the first set of equipment. | 09-22-2011 |

20130159329 | KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - The present design is a knowledge management system including a mapping engine configured to receive survey responses for a survey campaign completed by a survey participant and a set of mapping rules containing rules configured to map the survey responses to a set of knowledge resources specific to the activities, interactions and behaviors of a survey participant based upon the survey responses. The knowledge resources include information helpful to the survey participant to carry out a job related expected behavior or duty of the survey participant. The mapping engine is further configured to receive information about the activities and interactions of a survey participant, survey campaign, and knowledge resources that may be stored on a database, and transmit information about the set of knowledge resources to a designated entity, such as the survey participant or a system administrator. | 06-20-2013 |

20090114835 | Absolute Nuclear Material Assay - A method of absolute nuclear material assay of an unknown source comprising counting neutrons from the unknown source and providing an absolute nuclear material assay utilizing a model to optimally compare to the measured count distributions. In one embodiment, the step of providing an absolute nuclear material assay comprises utilizing a random sampling of analytically computed fission chain distributions to generate a continuous time-evolving sequence of event-counts by spreading the fission chain distribution in time. | 05-07-2009 |
20100215138 | Fission Meter and Neutron Detection Using Poisson Distribution Comparison - A neutron detector system and method for discriminating fissile material from non-fissile material wherein a digital data acquisition unit collects data at high rate, and in real-time processes large volumes of data directly into information that a first responder can use to discriminate materials. The system comprises counting neutrons from the unknown source and detecting excess grouped neutrons to identify fission in the unknown source. Comparison of the observed neutron count distribution with a Poisson distribution is performed to distinguish fissile material from non-fissile material. | 08-26-2010 |
20100332145 | Detecting Fission From Special Nuclear Material Sources - A neutron detector system for discriminating fissile material from non-fissile material wherein a digital data acquisition unit collects data at high rate, and in real-time processes large volumes of data directly into information that a first responder can use to discriminate materials. The system comprises counting neutrons from the unknown source and detecting excess grouped neutrons to identify fission in the unknown source. The system includes a graphing component that displays the plot of the neutron distribution from the unknown source over a Poisson distribution and a plot of neutrons due to background or environmental sources. The system further includes a known neutron source placed in proximity to the unknown source to actively interrogate the unknown source in order to accentuate differences in neutron emission from the unknown source from Poisson distributions and/or environmental sources. | 12-30-2010 |

20140348286 | NEUTRON DETECTION USING POISSON DISTRIBUTION COMPARISON INDEPENDENT OF COUNT RATE BASED ON CORRELATION SIGNALS - Embodiments are directed to comparison-based methods of conditionally assessing the excess in correlation of an unknown neutron count measurement compared to the correlation present in a data defined as background, and to providing a technical definition of excess correlation intended to properly handle the measured excess correlation. The degree of correlation between an unknown source and background can be used to prevent masking of neutron count data for the source by background radiation. | 11-27-2014 |
