International Classification:

G01R 33/48
G01R 33/565

Abstract:

A system and method is provided for controlling physiological-noise in functional magnetic resonance imaging using raw k-space data to extract physiological noise effects. The method can identify these effects when they are separable and directly reflects the artefactual effects on fMRI data, without the need for external monitoring or recording devices and to be compensated for via rigorous statistical analysis modeling of such noise sources. The physiological fluctuations may be treated as global perturbations presented around the origin point in a k-space 2D slice. Each k-space 2D slice may be acquired at a very short repetition time with an effective sampling rate to sample cardiac and respiratory rhythms through proper reordering and phase-unwarping techniques applied to the raw k-space data.

International Classification:

G06F 17/50
G06F 17/30

Abstract:

A system for analyzing one or more operations associated with a component of a machine is disclosed. The system includes a data warehouse for storing data associated with the machine. The system includes a data extraction module, which extracts the data from the data warehouse and receives a customer input. The data extraction module generates an input parameter based on the data from the data warehouse and the customer input. The system includes a failure injection module for storing information of the one or more failures associated with the component of the machine. The system also includes a machine model, which is in communication with the data extraction module and the failure injection module. The machine model derives an output parameter associated with the one or more operations of the component of the machine, based on the input parameter and the information of the one or more failures.

Appl. No.:

14/725502

Inventors:

- Peoria IL, US
Qiang Chen - Dunlap IL, US

Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

B60W 30/188
E02F 9/20
B60W 10/30
B60W 10/101
B60W 10/06

Abstract:

A multi-tool machine for utilizing a plurality of work tools includes an engine and a controller operatively coupled to the engine. The engine is configured to operate at a first engine operating configuration when a first work tool is coupled to the machine and configured to operate at a second engine operating configuration when a second work tool is coupled to the machine. The controller is configured to transition the engine from the first configuration to the second configuration when the machine transitions from the first work tool to the second work tool.

Assignee:

Caterpillar Inc. - Peoria IL

International Classification:

B60L 11/18
H02J 7/00
B64C 39/02

Abstract:

A system for recovering electrical energy from a machine working at a worksite is provided. The system includes a first capacitor disposed in the machine and adapted to communicate with a inverter of a hybrid drive system of the machine. The system further includes a drone adapted to carry a second capacitor. The drone is adapted to transfer electrical energy between the second capacitor and an electrical grid present at the worksite. The system further includes a docking system disposed on the machine and includes a controller disposed in communication with the machine and the drone.
