Abstract: The present invention discloses a stud sensor, which is used for detecting the object hidden behind a surface, including a first capacitor plate, a second capacitor plate, a first detection circuit coupled to the first capacitor plate, a second detection circuit coupled to the second capacitor plate and a micro control unit. The first detection circuit processes the voltage signal corresponding to the first capacitance of the first capacitor plate and outputs a first voltage signal to the micro control unit. The second detection circuit processes the voltage signal corresponding to the second capacitance of the second capacitor plate and outputs a second voltage signal to the micro control unit. The micro control unit compares the first voltage signal and the second voltage signal to determine the position information including the central position of the object.

Abstract: The present invention first provides a utility knife with a replaceable blade, comprising a knife handle, a blade holder, a blade and a locking device that locks the blade in the blade holder. The blade holder and the blade are enabled to switch between a first position and a second position. When the blade holder and the blade are in the first position, the blade is used for cutting operation, and when the blade holder and the blade are in the second position, both the blade holder and the blade are received in the knife handle. The utility knife further includes a restriction means which is thus arranged as, when the blade holder is in the second position and the locking device is in unlocked state, the restriction means is used for preventing the detachment of the blade from the blade holder by confining the movement of the blade relative to the blade holder.

Abstract: An imaging assembly includes a radiation camera configured to obtain position-sensitive radiation data of at least one source of interest.

A second set of image data (G2) is generated from the position-sensitive radiation data with a second energy window such that the second energy window does not overlap with the first energy window. A third set of image data (G3) is generated having reduced background interference, based at least partially on the first and second sets of image data.
