  • Patent number: 10572970
    Abstract: An imaging camera and a depth camera are configured to perform a 3D scan of an interior space. A processor is configured to generate voxels in a three-dimensional (3D) grid based on the 3D scan. The voxels represent portions of the volume of the interior space. The processor is also configured to project the voxels onto tiles in a two-dimensional (2D) floor plan of the interior space. The processor is further configured to generate, based on the tiles, a 2D distance grid that represents features in the interior space. In some cases, the 2D distance grid is generated in real-time concurrently with performing the 3D scan of the interior space. The processor is further configured to generate, based on a 2D distance grid, a set of polygons representing elements of the floor plan in real-time. The processor is further configured to generate a simplified set of primitives representing the floor plan.

  • Patent number: 9741420
    Abstract: A skyrmion driving method that utilizes electric current to make it possible to perform driving ON-OFF control at high speed and to suppress the influence of an inertial effect so that the driving control can be performed further logically. The skyrmion is driven based on a driving amount proportional to a time-integrated value of an electric current density j(t) (Am?2) at a clock time t for a location R(t) of the skyrmion at the clock time t and on a driving amount that is in accordance with a diffusive motion due to thermal fluctuation and increases as a Gilbert attenuation constant increases.

  • Publication number: 20130020735
    Abstract: A method for milling long fibre reinforced composite plastics having at least one unidirectional top layer using a rotating milling tool, wherein work piece and tool are moved in an advancing movement parallel to the work piece cutting face relative to each other, and wherein there is an edge fibre separation angle on the work piece of 0°??edge?90°, and the blade of the tool mills the component edge in synchronization.
