Abstract: A fluid spraying system includes an air source unit operable by a motor to output a flow of pressurized air along an airflow path to a spraying device configured to output a spray of a fluid. When an actuator of the spraying device is in an open position, at least a portion of the pressurized air is emitted through an air outlet. When the actuator of the spraying device is in a closed position, airflow through the air outlet is inhibited. A control system is configured to receive an indication of an air pressure in a vented area configured to vent air when the actuator is in the closed position, generate an indication that the actuator is the closed position or the open position based on the indication of the air pressure, and generate a motor control signal to control the motor of based on the indication.

Abstract: A laser light-based control system that makes use of intelligent motion tracking camera-based technologies to allow a performed to select notes, to provide a range of values for controlling device components (such as a fader), and to select a volume or magnitude value for a selected note (or output value). The control system may be configured in some implementations with the ability to filter out other light sources to only monitor a particular light from a source using real time video processing. This allows the control system to function to track simple and also complex laser animations and beam interruptions and, in response to the results of such tracking, to generate control signals for a digital music instrument to generate an endless amount of note values and variables (e.g., volume, pitch, and so on) in a 2D space or, in some preferred embodiments, a three dimensional (3D) space.

Abstract: A system and method for longitudinal control on approach to a traffic cluster includes receiving sensor data detected by one or more sensors in communication with a vehicle, processing the sensor data to determine that it indicates an approaching cluster, and verifying the approaching cluster by comparing the approaching cluster to route data and determining that the approaching cluster does not correspond to the route data. The method also includes generating a cluster confidence score for the approaching cluster based on a number of objects included in the approaching cluster, and initiating an open-loop longitudinal response to the approaching cluster. The method further includes performing a transition optimization on the open-loop longitudinal response to determine a handoff point for the vehicle, and, at the handoff point, transitioning from the open-loop longitudinal response to a closed-loop longitudinal response.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to system, methods, and devices for capturing, processing, and rendering synthetic aperture radar data captured by a radar-based imaging system on graphical processing units based on a hive-cell mapping using a tessellation of a Goldberg polyhedron.

Abstract: A urinal screen has a kite-shaped body having a longitudinal axis about which the body is symmetric, and a crosswise axis at a right angle to the longitudinal axis. There is at least one crosswise fold line formed in the body in which extended openings are formed along the crosswise axis, and there is at least one longitudinal fold line formed parallel to the longitudinal axis by extended openings through the body. The lack of material along the fold lines, relative to other portions of the body, facilitate bending or folding along these lines to conform to the shape of various urinal basins.

Abstract: A gyroscopic air handler provides a new powerful compact and efficient means to create airflow. At the core of the invention is a hubless magnetic chamber that rotates under its own power when acted upon by a composite electromagnetic duct. Composite field coils constructed from copper wire sheathed in a flexible iron sleeve are integrated into layers of Kevlar cloth and laid up with adhesive to create the desired shape as well as maintain the proper number of coils and spacing. Thrust bearings locate the hubless magnetic chamber within the duct. The invention can be retrofitted into the place of existing air handlers or purpose engineered for new applications. Gyroscopic inertia created by the magnetic chamber helps to dampen vibration as well as reduce the effects of unstable air conditions that can affect efficiency.
