  • Publication number: 20140248505
    Abstract: Laminated composite (10) comprising at least one electronic substrate (11) and an arrangement of layers (20, 30) made up of at least a first layer (20) of a first metal and/or a first metal alloy and of a second layer (30) of a second metal and/or a second metal alloy adjacent to this first layer (20), wherein the melting temperatures of the first and second layers are different, and wherein, after a thermal treatment of the arrangement of layers (20, 30), a region with at least one intermetallic phase (40) is formed between the first layer and the second layer, wherein the first layer (20) or the second layer (30) is formed by a reaction solder which consists of a mixture of a basic solder with an AgX, CuX or NiX alloy, wherein the component X of the AgX, CuX or NiX alloy is selected from the group consisting of B, Mg, Al, Si, Ca, Se, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, In, Sn, Sb, Ba, Hf, Ta, W, Au, Bi, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Gd, Dy, Sm, Er, Tb, Eu, Ho, Tm, Yb and Lu and wherein the melti

  • Publication number: 20140198178
    Abstract: Examples of methods and systems for creating swivel views from handheld video are described. In some examples, a method may be performed by a handheld device to receive or capture a video of a target object and the video may include a plurality of frames and content of the target object from a plurality of viewpoints. The device may determine one or more approximately corresponding frames of the video including content of the target object from a substantially matching viewpoint and may align the approximately corresponding frames of the video based on one or more feature points of the target object to generate an aligned video. The device may provide sampled frames from multiple viewpoints from the aligned video, configured for viewing the target object in a rotatable manner, such as in a swivel view format.

  • Patent number: 8466915
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fusing three-dimensional (3D) ground and airborne models for a geographical information system are described herein. A method embodiment includes aligning the ground and airborne models relative to one another, modifying three-dimensional mesh information in the ground and airborne models after the aligning to obtain modified ground and airborne models, merging the modified ground and airborne models to obtained a fused 3D model and storing the fused 3D model in memory for subsequent access by the geographical information system. A system embodiment includes a 3D model fuser configured to align the ground and airborne models relative to one another, modify three-dimensional mesh information in the ground and airborne models after the aligning to obtain modified ground and airborne models, and merge the modified ground and airborne models to obtained a fused 3D model, and a storage device that stores the fused 3D model for subsequent access by the geographical information system.

  • Patent number: 8437501
    Abstract: A system for pose generation consisting of a trajectory system, a pose generation system, an intersection extractor, an object identifier, a constraint generator, and a posegraph solver. The trajectory system identifies a number of trajectories based on input positional data of a bounded area. The pose generation system generates one or more poses based on the trajectories. The intersection extractor identifies one or more possible intersections in the one or more poses. The object identifier identifies an object pair for each possible intersection that represents two positional points at each possible intersection. The constraint generator computes and applies one or more intersection constraints to generate an energy value for each object pair based on their geometric relationship. The posegraph solver then minimizes a total energy value by modifying one or more poses and then generates an improved set of pose trajectories based on the modified one or more poses.
