  • Patent number: 10339631
    Abstract: A hybrid optical sensor array includes a first and second set of pixels having differing spectral sensitivities. A first set of data for a scene is captured by the first set of pixels at a first resolution, and a second set of data for the scene is captured by a second set of pixels at a second resolution. The first set of data is demosaiced based on at least the second set of data. A third set of data for the scene is output at a third resolution, greater than the first resolution. This allows high resolution matching images to be produced without perspective or timing discrepancies inherent in multi-camera machine vision systems.

  • Patent number: 10340758
    Abstract: A permanent magnet motor has a number of permanent magnets forming permanent magnet poles. Each magnet has an outer surface that is an arc surface with a convex middle. An inner surface of the magnet is a curved surface with a concave middle. The curved surface has an arc surface section and two planar surface sections. The arc surface has a pole arc angle ? of 0.7 to 0.96, and the ratio of an arc angle ? of the arc surface section to the pole arc angle ? is 0.15 to 0.35. The shape of the inner surface of the magnet creates uneven air gaps between the rotor poles and the stator core poles. This reduces cogging torque, increases the motor efficiency, and reduces the motor noise.
