Abstract: A system and method for cleaning a set of motion capture data, wherein the data correspond to a set of point coordinates relating to a model but may include missing or inaccurate values. A subset of the motion capture data is identified that corresponds to valid points matching locations of corresponding points of the model, and a best set of model parameters is computed in such a manner as to minimize a norm of the valid points with respect to the model. A complete set of point coordinates is then predicted based on the best set of model parameters and a subsequent set of cleaned motion capture data. Actual points are inserted where validated, and the process is iterated until a specified criterion is met.

Latching means are arranged between the first and second housing members so as to fasten the first housing member and the second housing together.

Abstract: A stacked electrical connector assembly (100) mounted on a main printed circuit board includes an insulative housing (1), an array of USB and modular conductive terminals (24, 222) received in the housing, and a metal outer shell (5) substantially surrounding the insulative housing. The housing defines a USB plug-receiving cavity (101) and a modular plug-receiving cavity (102) stacked beneath the USB plug-receiving cavity. The USB conductive terminals (24) have USB contacting portions (242) exposed in the USB plug-receiving cavity adapted for mating with a USB type plug. The modular conductive terminals (222) have modular contacting portions (223) disposed in the modular plug-receiving cavity adapted for mating with an RJ type plug.

Abstract: An electrical connector (100) for being mounted on a motherboard, includes an insulative housing (1) having a front mating face providing a receiving cavity (111) extending rearwardly thereinto, an internal circuit board (31) containing a safety insulating and filtering circuitry and a telephone line-side modem controller (33), a pair of conductive contacts (2) retained to the insulating housing, and a number of footer contacts (32) connected with the internal circuit board for connecting to the motherboard. The safety insulating and filtering circuitry and the telephone line-side modem controller perform partial functions of a modem card assembly. The conductive contacts electrically connect with the internal circuit board and extend into the receiving cavity for contacting with a complementary connector.

Abstract: A modular jack connector (1) provided includes a housing (10) defining a plug receiving section (11), and a terminal core receiving section (12). A terminal core (20) is received in the terminal core receiving section and configured by at least a plurality of terminals (21) attached to a substrate (30). Each terminal generally includes a base portion (21a) attached to the substrate, a contact portion (21b) extending into the plug receiving section of the housing, and a tail portion (21c) electrically connecting the base portion and extending outside the housing. At least an electrical package (40) has first and second pins (41, 42), and electrically connected to a selected terminal with the first pin, while replacing the tail portion of the selected terminal with the second pin extending from the electrical package.

Abstract: A two wire communication system capable of transmitting data and transferring power by the used of an electrical bi-polar waveform across a two wire conductor from a controller in communication with the two-wire conductor to at least one module in communication with the controller and capable of transmitting data from the module to the controller; and a remote electrical device in communication with the controller. Usable data may be continuously transmitted across the two wire conductor independent of and during power transmission between the controller and the at least one module without loss of data transmission time and without affecting the transfer of power to the at least one module. The data is transmitted across the two wire conductor to the modules by pulse duration signals at the same time power is transmitted to the modules. The system is capable of using up to 100% of transmission time to transmit data without affecting transfer of power to the at least one module.

Abstract: The fuel tank of a mobile vehicle is provided with a level sensor for sensing the level of fuel in the tank as it is being filled. The output signal from the level sensor is applied to a microprocessor which in turn provides output signals to drive an audible alarm and a visual display. The microprocessor determines the level of fuel in the tank from the signal produced by the level sensor and drives the audible alarm to provide a first sound pattern, such short beeps or tones when the tank is at least 3/4 full but less than 7/8 full and a second sound pattern such as a continuous tone when the tank is at least 7/8 full. The microprocessor also drives a visual display to display text messages indicating the level of fuel in the tank. A vehicle operator may initiate filling of the tank and attend to other service on the vehicle, leaving the fill operation unattended. The first sound pattern warns the operator that he must soon give his full attention to the fill operation.

Abstract: A reversible actuation linkage associated with a control lever determining the speed and direction of travel of a hydrostatically driven tractor in which the control is mounted with an operator's station pivotally supported to permit orientation of the operator in a selected one of opposing directions is disclosed wherein the linkage includes a cable actuator pivotally connected to a fixed linkage mechanism. The actuator cable includes a clevis mounted for pivotable movement about a vertical pivot axis coinciding with the axis about which the operator's station is rotatably movable. As a result, the actuator cable reversibly effects operation of the hydraulic system to effect movement of the tractor in the direction corresponding to the direction of movement of the control lever irrespective of the rotated position selected for the operator's station.

Abstract: A wet flywheel housing is disclosed wherein a central web member separates the flywheel housing into first and second cavities in which a flywheel and a driven gear set are respectively rotatable. The web member supports a seal engageable with a hubbed gear forming part of the driven gear set and connected with the flywheel to permit the transfer of rotational power therebetween. A detachable lid member closes the second cavity in which the driven gear set is rotated to permit the introduction of an oil bath into the second cavity for lubrication of the driven gear set without permitting the migration of oil to the first cavity for engagement with the rotating flywheel.
