Abstract: An object tracking system is disclosed. The system comprises an appliance comprising at least one operating volume and an access region through which the operating volume is accessed. The system further comprises at least one imager and a controller. The controller is operable to detect at least one part of a person's body in the access region based on the image data and identify the object in connection with the part of the person's body. Based on the detection of the object in connection with the person's body, the controller is configured to identify the object. An action is determined for the object based on one or more characteristics of the physical object indicated in the image data.

Abstract: An electrical system architecture for a mobile, electric hybrid machine includes a first bus configured to receive electric power at a first, selectively adjustable voltage from an electrical power source. A second bus is configured to receive electric power at a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage. A controller is configured to determine a desired magnitude of the second voltage for the second bus, produce a signal indicative of a magnitude of the first, selectively adjustable voltage that is a multiple of the desired magnitude of the second voltage, and adjust the magnitude of the first voltage in the first bus to the multiple of the desired magnitude of the second voltage. A fixed-ratio power converter is configured to convert the power at the first voltage in the first bus to the power at the second voltage in the second bus.

Abstract: A ground fault protection system may include a controller that is configured to receive signals representing a ground fault detection voltage and a DC link voltage of the machine. Based on the ground fault detection voltage and the DC link voltage, the controller may determine a ground fault detection percentage value, and a worst case component insulation voltage. The controller may compare an absolute value of the worst case component insulation voltage with a rated insulation voltage of a component of the machine. When the absolute value of the worst case component insulation voltage is higher than the rated insulation voltage, the controller may determine a new DC link voltage based on the rated insulation voltage and the ground fault detection percentage value, and may operate the machine by using the new DC link voltage.
