  • Patent number: 12230011
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for object detection. In one aspect, a method comprises: obtaining: (i) an image, and (ii) a set of one or more query embeddings, wherein each query embedding represents a respective category of object; processing the image and the set of query embeddings using an object detection neural network to generate object detection data for the image, comprising: processing the image using an image encoding subnetwork of the object detection neural network to generate a set of object embeddings; processing each object embedding using a localization subnetwork to generate localization data defining a corresponding region of the image; and processing: (i) the set of object embeddings, and (ii) the set of query embeddings, using a classification subnetwork to generate, for each object embedding, a respective classification score distribution over the set of query embeddings.

  • Publication number: 20240319020
    Abstract: A method of calibrating temperature of a resistive element includes: generating a standard resistance-temperature (R-T) curve for the resistive element in an isothermal condition, wherein the resistive element comprises a material with a Curie temperature; generating an operational R-T curve for the resistive element during a normal operation of the resistive element; shifting the operational R-T curve toward the standard R-T curve at the Curie temperature to generate an adjusted operational R-T curve; and adjusting a measured temperature of the resistive element based on a resistance of the resistive element and the adjusted operational R-T curve.

  • Patent number: 12031875
    Abstract: A method of calibrating temperature of a resistive element having a material with a Curie temperature includes generating a standard resistance-temperature (R-T) curve for the resistive element in isothermal conditions to identify values of the R-T curve and an inflection point at the Curie temperature, generating operational R-T curves for the resistive element over an operational time period, comparing the standard R-T curve to the operational R-T curves, and adjusting the operational curves to the standard R-T curve at the Curie temperature to calibrate temperature of the resistive element.

  • Patent number: 11528823
    Abstract: An industrial control device includes a display, a body, a first sensor, and a controller. The body includes a facia wall, an inner shroud, and an outer shroud. The facia wall includes a window that is a transparent material aligned to permit the display to be viewed through the window. The inner shroud extends rearward from a rear side of the facia wall. The outer shroud is disposed about the inner shroud and extends rearward from the rear side of the facia wall and is spaced apart from the inner shroud to define a cavity. A seal member is within the cavity forms a seal with a facia plate disposed about the inner shroud. The first sensor detects contact with a front surface of the facia wall. The controller is coupled to an output of the first sensor. The controller is coupled to the display and controls the display.
