Abstract: Methods and systems for providing background blur in video data are provided herein. The method includes receiving, by an electronic processor, video data from a video capture device and receiving, by the electronic processor, location data for an object in the video data from a range sensor, wherein the location data indicates a distance of the object from the video capture device. The method also includes determining, by the electronic processor, a zone of inclusion for the video data based on the video data and the location data and applying continuous and undisrupted background blur to pixels of the video data located outside the zone of inclusion.

Abstract: A method is provided for forming at least one continuous line of viscous material between two components of an electronic assembly forming two substrates. The method includes the steps of depositing a plurality of spaced apart dots of the viscous material onto a surface of a first one of the substrates and bringing a second one of the substrates into contact with the dots causing the dots to merge together to form at least one continuous line of the viscous material between the two substrates.

Abstract: A viscous material noncontact jetting system has a jetting dispenser mounted for relative motion with respect to a surface. A control is operable to cause the jetting dispenser to jet a viscous material droplet that is applied to the surface as a viscous material dot. A device, such as a camera or weigh scale, is connected to the control and provides a feedback signal representing a size-related physical characteristic of the dot applied to the surface. The size-related physical characteristics of subsequently applied dots is controlled by heating and cooling, or adjusting a piston stroke in the jetting dispenser, in response to the size-related physical characteristic feedback. Dispensed material volume control and velocity offset compensation are also provided.

Abstract: A drive for driving a displacer in a cryogenic refrigerator includes a rotatable cam having a cam surface. The cam is rotatable about a pivot point with a cam follower contacting the cam surface. Rotational motion of the cam is converted into reciprocating motion of the cam follower. A displacer rod is coupled between the cam follower and the displacer for transferring the reciprocating motion of the cam follower to the displacer for driving the displacer.
