  • Patent number: 10424065
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing three-dimensional semantic parsing of indoor spaces in accordance with embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving input data representing a three-dimensional space, determining disjointed spaces within the received data by generating a density histogram on each of a plurality of axes, determining space dividers based on the generated density histogram, and dividing the point cloud data into segments based on the determined space dividers, and determining elements in the disjointed spaces by aligning the disjointed spaces within the point cloud data along similar axes to create aligned versions of the disjointed spaces normalizing the aligned version of the disjointed spaces into the aligned version of the disjointed spaces, determining features in the disjointed spaces, generating at least one detection score, and filtering the at least one detection score to determine a final set of determined elements.

  • Publication number: 20190180590
    Abstract: Various embodiments may include fire detector comprising: a fire sensor generating a signal corresponding to a characteristic fire parameter; a control unit; and a photodiode for detecting ambient light in a spectrally delimited range of 400 nm to 1150 nm. The control unit analyzes the signal and generates a fire alarm if the signal corresponds to a predetermined threshold for a fire. The control unit analyzes a photo-signal received from the photodiode and if the flicker frequencies characteristic of open fire are detected, the control unit increases a sampling rate for acquiring the sensor signal from the fire sensor by reducing a filter time of an evaluation filter for the fire analysis and/or by lowering an alerting threshold.

  • Patent number: 10068735
    Abstract: A lever assembly is for an operating mechanism of an electrical switching apparatus. The electrical switching apparatus includes a number of pairs of separable contacts structured to move from a CLOSED position to a TRIPPED OPEN position in response to a trip condition. The operating mechanism has an enclosure member and a number of biasing elements coupled to the enclosure member. The biasing elements are structured to move the separable contacts from the CLOSED position to the TRIPPED OPEN position. The lever assembly includes a lever member structured to engage the enclosure member, and a component located on the lever member. The component is structured to extend through each of the biasing elements in order to lengthen each of the biasing elements when the separable contacts are in the CLOSED position.

  • Publication number: 20180195882
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic position detection system for position determination having a positioning scale with position marks and a sensor apparatus with two sensor units each consisting of a light receiver for generating received signals from received light that was reflected by the position marks and each having an evaluation unit for evaluating the received signals and outputting the evaluation results. To provide a position detection system that works more robustly and more reliably and that in particular satisfies the functional safety such as is demanded by the relevant safety standards, it is proposed that the sensor units are configured as identical. The invention further relates to a method for failsafe position determination in which position marks on a positioning scale are detected by an optoelectronic position detection system.

  • Patent number: 9905102
    Abstract: An open scattered light smoke detector for detecting smoke may include a light transmitter for emitting light, a light receiver spectrally matched to the light transmitter, and a control unit configured to repeatedly actuate the light transmitter, with a pulsed signal sequence, to emit corresponding light pulses, evaluate temporally a signal sequence received by the light receiver, and output a fire alarm if a received signal strength exceeds a minimum value for the smoke concentration. The control unit may be configured to switch the detector from a normal operating mode into a service mode if a phase angle between an emitted and received signal sequence, as determined on the detector side, increases by a minimum angular value which, in terms of the travel time, corresponds technically to an increase in the optical path length from the light transmitter to the light receiver of more than some predefined distance.
