The system and method disclosed utilizes a wearable device to collect data generated pursuant to user's kinesthetic movement. The instant innovation filters and cleans the data, then slices the data into subsets. The subsets are analyzed with a Machine Learning algorithm to identify signal patterns indicative of statistically significant behavioral metrics, and the instant innovation returns insights based in part on relationships between said behavioral metrics. These insights are returned to an observer in the form of a report.

A rotatable tailgate assembly is provided for installation on a dump bed. The tailgate assembly has support members attachable to the side of the dump bed. Each support member has at least one bearing adjacent at a free end extending rearwardly of the dump bed's rear opening. A tailgate has a cylindrical tailgate shaft with a first end rotatably received within the bearing of a first support member and a second end rotatably received within a bearing of a second support member. The tailgate has a closure portion extending radially away from the tailgate shaft. The closure portion engages the rear edges of the dump bed floor and sides to close off the dump bed opening when the tailgate assembly is in a closed rotational position. The tailgate assembly also comprises a rotation actuator operatively connected to the tailgate shaft for selective rotation thereof.

A disaster assessment system is presented. The disaster assessment system generates one or more impact reports detailing the nature of how a disaster has impacted a building site based on sensor data associated with the building site that is collected after the disaster. According to one aspect of the inventive subject matter, the disaster assessment system includes a sensor platform, a pre-disaster database, a historic disaster database, and an impact assessment engine. The sensor platform obtains sensor data reflecting a building site before, during, and/or after an event. The impact assessment engine derives a pre-event 3D model based on sensor data collected by the sensor platform before the event, and derives a post-event 3D model based on sensor data collected by the sensor platform after the event. The impact assessment engine then generates the impact reports based on a difference between the pre-event 3D model and the post-event 3D model.

An inspection device comprises a light source, a pellicle beamsplitter for receiving light from the light source and for redirecting the light, and an aperture array for receiving light from the pellicle beamsplitter. The aperture array is a two dimensional array of pinholes having an x axis and a y axis ninety degrees apart, wherein the distance between pinholes in the x direction is greater than the distance between pinholes in the y direction. The inspection device further comprises an imaging system comprising an object imager including a plurality of lenses, a camera reimager including a plurality of lenses, and a camera for acquiring an image.

Confocal 3D inspection system and process

A confocal three dimensional inspection system, and process for use thereof, allows for rapid inspecting of bumps and other three dimensional (3D) features on wafers, other semiconductor substrates and other large format micro topographies. The sensor eliminates out of focus light using a confocal principal to create a narrow depth response in the micron range.

The present invention provides vaccine compositions of attenuated dengue-4 virus. More specifically, the attenuated virus is produced by serial passage in PDK cells. The invention also provides methods for stimulating the immune system of an individual to induce protection against dengue-4 virus by administration of attenuated dengue-4 virus.

A maintenance control apparatus for a lawn watering system includes an accessible electrical receptacle and a portable switching unit. The unit includes a plug for detachably coupling into the receptacle and a selection switch for selectively supplying power through the receptacle to the solenoid water valves. The valves are thereby selectively openable remotely and independently of the clock controller of the watering system. An auxiliary battery and jack are provided to substitute for the main power. A portable master switch electively supplies power to open or close the master valve.
