Abstract: A computer system displays a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras, including a representation of a portion of a three-dimensional physical environment that is in the field of view of the one or more cameras. The computer system receives a request to add a first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras. In response to receiving the request to add the first virtual effect to the displayed representation of the field of view of the one or more cameras and in accordance with a determination that the first virtual effect requires a scan of the physical environment, the computer system initiates a scan of the physical environment to detect one or more features of the physical environment and displays a user interface that indicates a progress of the scan of the physical environment.

Abstract: A method of evaluating current sensor measurements of an electric machine system includes acquiring a first current signal corresponding to a first measurement of a first phase current of a three phase electric current supply to an electric machine, and acquiring a second current signal corresponding to a second measurement of a second phase current of the three phase electric current supply. The method also includes determining a machine velocity, shifting the first current signal by a signal processing component to generate a shifted first current signal having a shifted phase, the signal processing component including a tuning parameter that is a function of the machine velocity, calculating an amplitude difference between the shifted first current signal and the second current signal, and determining a plausibility of the first measurement and the second measurement based on the difference.

Abstract: Methods for controlling dust which include applying an effective amount of a composition including an alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) surfactant, a polyglycol, an antifoaming agent, and water, to dust-producing material.

Abstract: Hydrotropic wetting agents enhance the activity of water for earthy materials by lowering surface tension to promote surface-to-surface contact, to neutralize the electric double layer, to destroy protective colloids, to neutralize other charged particles, and to bind water to the materials, thus, significantly reducing the evaporation rate and, concomitantly, reducing the amount of water that must be applied and the energy and time used to prepare the material. A wetting agent suitable for the present invention includes an alkylphenol ethoxylate (APE) and a polyglycol, such as, for example, glycerin or propylene glycol (when toxicity is not an issue), and an antifoaming agent, such as for example, a polysiloxane polymer. These chemicals combined in the concentration ranges of the present invention produce wetting agent/hydrotropic formulations that maybe used to provide the advantages of the present invention.
