Abstract: An information configuration method includes transmitting a signal to a display of an electronic apparatus at a first transmission frequency, and, upon detecting that a current frequency band of the electronic apparatus is not in the first frequency band, switching the first transmission frequency to a second transmission frequency when the display is inactive. A parameter of the electronic apparatus associated with the first transmission frequency meets a predetermined condition when the electronic apparatus operates at a first frequency band. The parameter associated with the second transmission frequency meets the predetermined condition when the electronic apparatus operates at a second frequency band.

Abstract: Aspects of the embodiments are directed to passive depth determination. Initially, a high power depth map of a scene can be created. An object in the scene can be identified, such as a rigid body or other object or portion of an object. A series of lower power or RGB images can be captured. The object can be located in one or more of the lower power or RGB images. A change in the position of an object, represented by a set of pixels, can be determined. From the change in position of the object, a new depth of the object can be extrapolated. The extrapolated depth of the object can be used to update the high power depth map.

Abstract: A lock assembly for a switch device of an electrical power distribution system includes a first lock and a second lock. The lock assembly also includes a connector arranged to inhibit movement of the first lock when the switch device is in a first position and inhibit movement of the second lock when the switch device is in a second position. The lock assembly further includes a guard coupled to at least one of the first lock and the second lock. The guard is positionable between a first position in which the guard allows access to an actuating mechanism of the switch device and a second position in which the guard inhibits access to the actuating mechanism. The guard is moveable between the first position and the second position when at least one of said first lock and said second lock is rotated.

Abstract: An embedded pole is provided which includes a conductive path and a movable contact. The movable contact is selectively movable between a first position in which the conductive path is closed and a second position in which the conductive path is open. An insulation element is coupled to and selectively movable in conjunction with the movable contact. The embedded pole further includes a sensor coupled to the insulation element and operable to detect a displacement of the insulation element that corresponds to a movement of the movable contact between the first position and the second position.

Abstract: A motor driver may include a controller, a space vector modulator, a converter and a detector. The space vector modulator may generate driving signals under control of the controller according to a space vector pulse width modulation (“SVPWM”) scheme. The converter may derive AC signals from the driving signals received from the space vector modulator and may output the AC signals to the USM motor. The detector may generate feedback signals representing current and voltage supplied to the USM motor. The controller may revise estimates of space vectors, based on measurements from the detector, to control the space vector modulator to adjust frequencies, amplitudes, or phase angles of the plurality of AC signals.

Abstract: A system and method provide for an adaptive median filter with edge protection and four line buffers to remove the impulse noise for a Bayer pattern image. The system and method separates the Bayer pattern image data into different channels by color and applies the adaptive median filter to remove the impulse noise on each channel. The adaptive median filter has five threshold values that may be modified to achieve different light condition response based on the detected noise level of the image. Thus, proper threshold values with better brightness response to the input pixels may be applied and impulse noise may be suppressed effectively, while preserving image details.

Abstract: A circuit may include a splitter, a controller, and a termination. The splitter may generate, based upon input signals, a plurality of output signals, wherein at least one of the input signals is in more than one different modes at different times and the output signals comprise a first set of the output signals generated based upon comparison of pairs of signals of the first set against each other and a second set of the output signals generated based upon comparison of each signal of the second set to a predetermined threshold voltage. The controller may determine, based upon the second set of the output signals, whether the input signals are in the one of the more than one different modes to generate one or more control signals. The termination may connect loads to each of the input lines, based upon the one or more control signals.

Abstract: Space vector modulation methods and structures are provided that reduce feedback errors which degrade motor control performance. In particular, the rotation of a reference voltage vector Vref is modified as it rotates with respect to voltage vectors that each represent a respective one of converter switch states in an electric-motor control system. One embodiment modifies the reference voltage vector Vref as it approaches various voltage vectors and another modifies the reference voltage vector Vref when its magnitude is less than a predetermined magnitude.

The periods of switching cycles are varied using random numbers to calculate delays between the start of coincident sampling and switching cycles.
