Abstract: A system includes a robotic device, a sensor disposed on the robotic device, and circuitry configured to perform operations. The operations include determining a map that represents stationary features of an environment and receiving, from the sensor, sensor data representing the environment. The operations also include determining, based on the sensor data, a representation of an actor within the environment, where the representation includes keypoints representing corresponding body locations of the actor. The operations also include determining that a portion of a particular stationary feature is positioned within a threshold distance of a particular keypoint and, based on thereon, updating the map to indicate that the portion is to be cleaned. The operations further include, based on the map as updated, causing the robotic device to clean the portion of the particular stationary feature.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for intelligent cloud based testing of graphics hardware and software. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a hardware pool comprising a plurality of test machines to perform cloud-based graphics validation operations; a virtual resource pool comprising data associated a plurality of different graphics hardware resources; a resource manager to coordinate between the hardware pool and the virtual resource pool to cause one or more virtual machines (VMs) to be executed on one or more of the test machines using resources from the virtual resource pool; and a task dispatcher to dispatch graphics validation tasks to the VMs responsive to user input.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for detecting an optimal focal plane of a lithographic projection objective lens, the apparatus including: an illumination device, a beam splitting device, a lens array, a mask plate, a reflecting device, a photoelectric detector and a controller. The illumination device generates a collimated beam, which is transmitted through the beam splitting device, focused by the lens array to the mask plate for spatial-filtering, and delivered to the lithographic projection objective lens. The reflecting device reflects a focused beam passing through the lithographic projection objective lens to generate a reflected beam. The photoelectric detector detects an intensity of the reflected beam from the reflecting device after being spatial-filtered via the mask plate and generates a beam intensity signal. The controller controls a movement of a workpiece table and/or collects the beam intensity signal generated by the photoelectric detector.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an automatic focusing device, an automatic focusing electronic eyepiece and an electronic device. The automatic focusing device comprises a sensor drive unit, a master control unit and an interface unit. The master control unit is configured to control the sensor drive unit to enable the automatic focusing device to automatically focus by adjusting an image distance, the interface unit is configured to output image data of the measured target for display.

Abstract: A digital microscope and a focusing thereof are provided. The microscope integrates a focusing lens unit, a zooming lens unit and related control circuits into the interior of the microscope. The control unit executes a focus searching algorithm and focus tracking algorithm, controls movement of the focusing lens unit and the zooming lens unit and achieves auto-focus by adjusting the image distance and makes the microscope zoom by adjusting the focal length. This improves the focusing efficiency and shortens the focusing time greatly. The microscope can achieve continuous zooming and tracking by the zoom tracking algorithm and the image is kept clear in the zooming process. The microscope adjusts the brightness of the assist light source at the front end of the microscope according to the change of the amount of light transmission by the control unit executing the exposure algorithm to ensure uniform exposure.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides detection devices and methods using a diffraction wavefront of a pinhole stitching measurement of surface shape. The light emitted from the laser passes through a filter hole, a first condenser lens, a spatial filter, a beam expander, a half wave plate, a ?/4 wave plate, an attention plate and then is transmitted through a beam splitter, reflected by a reflecting mirror and is irradiated onto an pinhole through a first optical adjustable shelf and a second set of condenser lens. A part of diffraction light generated by the pinhole is irradiated to the mirror to be measured; the light reflected by the mirror to be measured is reflected by a frame of the pinhole and generate a diffraction fringe along with another part of the diffraction wavefront of the pinhole. The interference fringe is focused by the third set of condenser lens on the third optical adjustable shelf and is collected by the CCD detector.
