  • Publication number: 20240168488
    Abstract: A base station device includes a network interface including a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver and an electronic processor. The electronic processor may be coupled to the network interface. The electronic processor may be configured to receive, via the GNSS receiver, a first location signal from each of a first plurality of satellites while the base station device is located at a first location. The electronic processor may also be configured to determine a first signal strength of the base station device at the first location. The first location may be a first potential location of the base station device from which the base station device is configured to provide location calibration information based on communication with the first plurality of satellites to a robotic garden tool. An indication of the first signal strength may be output via an output device for consumption by a user.

  • Publication number: 20240065144
    Abstract: A method of creating a virtual boundary for a robotic garden tool includes receiving location coordinates of a location in which the robotic garden tool is intended to be operated. The method also includes retrieving, from a first server and based on the location coordinates, a preexisting visual media file of the location in which the robotic garden tool is intended to be operated. The preexisting visual media file includes metadata that includes coordinate information of the location shown in the preexisting visual media file. The method includes generating virtual boundary coordinates of the virtual boundary based at least partially on the preexisting visual media file and the coordinate information. The method includes controlling, with a first electronic processor of the robotic garden tool, the robotic garden tool to be confined by the virtual boundary to remain in an operating area during operation of the robotic garden tool.

  • Publication number: 20240069561
    Abstract: A robotic garden tool includes at least one sensor configured to generate signals associated with an object within an operating area. A first electronic processor of the robotic garden tool receives, from the at least one sensor, an obstacle signal associated with an obstacle located within the operating area. The first electronic processor determines a first location of the robotic garden tool at a time corresponding to when the first electronic processor received the obstacle signal. The first electronic processor determines a second location of the obstacle based on the obstacle signal and the first location of the garden tool. The first electronic processor generates mapping information of the operating area that includes a virtual boundary based on the second location of the obstacle. The first electronic processor controls the robotic garden tool in the operating area to remain outside of the virtual boundary based on the mapping information.

  • Patent number: 9224063
    Abstract: A microscopy imaging system and method for rendering a mosaic representation of an object from a series of image frames of the object are disclosed. A current image frame is processed to determine its relative location or position within the mosaic representation based on relative displacement of the current image from one or more keyframes. Once the current image frame's position has been determined, it is rendered along with its neighboring keyframes to provide the mosaic representation of the object.

  • Patent number: 7977231
    Abstract: Adhesive is dispensed for conducting die bonding onto a substrate including rows of bond pads aligned along a first axis and columns of bond pads aligned along a second axis transverse to the first axis where target dispensing positions are located. A first dispensing head incorporating a first nozzle and a second dispensing head incorporating a second nozzle are provided and the substrate is fed along the first axis to a position where the first and second dispensing heads are located. Pattern recognition of a columnar section of the substrate comprising one or more consecutive columns of bond pads with an optical system may be conducted by moving the optical system along the second axis relative to the substrate. Thereafter, the first nozzle and the second nozzle are driven concurrently to dispense adhesive from the first and second nozzles onto the target dispensing positions in the same columnar section of the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20060172124
    Abstract: A rainbow rub-on that is used in a manner similar to writing with carbon paper, but transfers a myriad of color and patterns in the design created by the user who writes and/or draws on the transfer sheet thereby transferring only those colors and designs from the transfer sheet that fall within the design and/or writing of the user. The process includes four distinct layers. The first, or base, layer is a polyester film with a second layer of wax printed thereon. A third layer mixture of emulsion, pigment and adhesive of different colors and designs is applied to the second layer. An optional fourth layer of wax can be applied for stronger adhesion of the writing transfer to the paper. Adjusting the thickness of the pigments in the third layer during production allows the rainbow rub-on to be reusable.
