Abstract: Apparatuses and methods determine the three-dimensional position and orientation of a fiducial marker and tracking the three-dimensional position and orientation across different fields-of-view. Methods include: capturing an image of a first space in which the fiducial marker is disposed with a first sensor having a first field-of-view; determining the three-dimensional location and orientation of the fiducial marker within the first space based on the image of the first space in which the fiducial marker is disposed; capturing an image of a second space in which the fiducial marker is disposed with a second sensor having a second field-of-view; calculating pan and tilt information for the second sensor to move the second field-of-view of the second sensor to acquire an image of the fiducial marker; and determining the three-dimensional location and orientation of the fiducial marker within the second space based on the image of the second space.

Abstract: An example device comprises a plurality of components and a BIOS includes a non-volatile memory having instructions stored thereon that are executable by a processor of the device to cause the BIOS to determine a component identification (ID) of a component of the plurality of components, and fetch a plurality of recall component IDs. The instructions also are to cause the BIOS to compare the determined component ID with the plurality of recall component IDs. In response to a correspondence between the determined component ID and one recall component ID of the plurality of component IDs, the BIOS is to transmit signals representing a prompt to place the component of the plurality of components in a safety mode. The instructions also cause the BIOS to receive signals in response to the prompt and, responsive to the received signals, disable the component of the plurality of components.
