Abstract: In a method of displaying a dead zone of a construction machine, actual images with respect to omnidirectional views of a cabin in the construction machine may be obtained. A virtual image with respect to the dead zone generated by a working tool, which may be connected to the cabin, may be obtained from the actual images. The virtual image may be displayed on a monitor in the cabin. Thus, a worker in the cabin may accurately acknowledge whether a man or a fixture may exist or not in a region in front of a rotation direction of a boom by seeing the virtual image. Thus, a negligent accident caused by the rotation of the boom may be prevented.

Abstract: Encoded data decoding techniques. A data decoding agent determines a data segment size for a packet that includes a header and a data segment. The data decoding agent determines a segment end location based, at least in part, on the data segment size. The data decoding agent processes subblocks of data from the data segment. The data decoding agent compares a current location to the segment end location to determine if a current subblock of data from the data segments contains the segment end location. The data decoding agent triggers an exception handler if the current subblock contains the segment end location.
