Abstract: An outer peripheral member disposed at an outer periphery of a platen glass includes first and second reference surfaces. The first reference surface is a lower surface of an area extending along a side edge portion of the platen glass at an end in a main scanning direction. The second reference surface is located adjacent to the first reference surface in a second direction and differs in light reflectance from the first reference surface. An image processing portion determines whether outer periphery pixel data of an outer periphery area in line image data acquired successively while a scanning unit is moving, satisfies a border condition. A unit driving portion positions the scanning unit to a home position by moving the scanning unit a predetermined distance from where the scanning unit is located when it is determined that the outer periphery pixel data satisfies the border condition, and stops it.

Abstract: A Network Operation Center may receive video data, sensor data and third-party data for a situation that a police officer or security service personnel has been called to. Using the video data, a sentiment analysis engine may generate a sentiment data file that contains the sentiment of at least one individual involved in the situation. Using the video data, sensor data, third party data and the sentiment data file, the sentiment analysis engine may generate a safety quality value for the situation. Subsequently, the safety quality value is compared to a predetermined sentiment value to establish a safety rating and confidence interval for the situation. Furthermore, the sentiment analysis engine may generate a situational awareness file, that contains the safety rating and confidence interval, and route it to the field computing device of the officer for evaluation and implementation.

Abstract: A system and corresponding method that achieves coherency and deterministic latency (CDL) autonomously upon power on is disclosed. The system, for example, a multi-channel RF system, may require CDL with respect to the digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) assigned to the channels in the system. CDL is achieved through a timed combination of external reference and synchronization signals, resetting and disabling of various clock dividers, and enabling clock generation. In addition to synchronizing all of the clocks, the data acquisition sequence must be synchronized across all of the channels, whether they are on chips, cards, or chassis. Data acquisition synchronization may be implemented using an initiator/target or a wired OR mode configuration.
