  • Publication number: 20240111263
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for optimization and autoconfiguration of edge processing devices are disclosed. A cloud computing system can receive a request to configure a target building device. The cloud computing system can identify, based on the target building device, a connector template for the target building device. The connector template can include one or more parameters for a connector component configured to cause the target building device to communicate with the cloud computing system. cloud computing system can generate the connector component for the target building device based on the one or more parameters. cloud computing system can deploy the connector component to the target building device.

  • Patent number: 9729744
    Abstract: A system of border detection on a document and for producing an image of the document is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the system comprises: a frequency specific reflective border on the document; an image capture device; a filter tuned to the frequency of the reflective border; a border detection algorithm; and a processor communicatively linked to the image capture device, to the notch filter, and to the border detection algorithm. The image capture device is configured to capture an image of the document. The processor is configured to apply the filter to the captured image and to produce a second frame. The processor is further configured to apply the border detection algorithm to the second frame to determine a document border mask. The processor is further configured to apply the border mask to the captured image to produce a document image.

  • Patent number: 4072950
    Abstract: A navigation aid comprises two transmitters transmitting signals in the LF/MF range (250 kilohertz-490 kilohertz) and a receiver indicator for receiving each of the transmitted signals, translating them to a common frequency, and indicating the phase difference at any given position. Frequency stablizing means are coupled to each transmitter to stabilize the frequency of each transmitted signal and to prevent the differential frequency error from exceeding a selected limit.

  • Patent number: 4038529
    Abstract: A monitor for notifying a vehicle using VLF navigation of an abnormal conion of VLF wave propagation. Sensing means, including an antenna, oscillator, IF mixer, and phase tracker is provided to periodically sense changes in the phase angle of a VLF wave received by the monitor, and to couple a succession of values of an updating quantity into a data processing means, each value corresponding to a sensed amount of phase change. The data processing means learns what comprises a normal condition of VLF wave propagation by averaging successive values of the updating quantity, and provides notice of an abnormal condition whenever a received value of the updating quantity varies from the previously computed average by an amount in excess of a preselected criterion.
