    Abstract: There are provided methods and systems (500) for assessing the health of an asset (511). For example, a system (500) is provided. The system (500) may include a processor (514) and a memory (502) including instructions (518) that, when executed by the processor (514), cause the processor (514) to perform operations consistent with identifying a defect (513) in a component (501) of an asset (511). The operations may include fetching from an inspection system (503), a plurality of images (104) acquired from an inspection of the component (501) of the asset (511) by the inspection system (503). The operations may include identifying, based on an image processing technique codified and included as part of the instructions (518), a subset of images (110) from the plurality of images (104). The subset of images (110) is representative of the defect (513) in the component (501) of the asset (511), and the image processing technique is selected from the group consisting of an auto-distress ranking technique, a structural similarity technique, a mean-subtracted filtering technique, and a Hessian norm computation technique.

    Abstract: LINEAR OSCILLATION SYSTEM HAVING A SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE SAME ABSTRACT A linear oscillation system comprising a housing, a stationary assembly, a moveable assembly and a suspension system is disclosed. The suspension system is mechanically coupled between the moveable assembly and the housing. The suspension system comprises a plurality of planar elastic members and plurality of longitudinal elastic members disposed between the plurality of planar elastic members. A first end of each of the plurality of planar elastic members is mechanically coupled to at least one of the plurality of planar elastic members. A second end of each of the plurality of longitudinal elastic members is mechanically coupled to the housing. Fig. 1
