Abstract: Techniques for using a sensor to perform laser signal decoding are disclosed. The sensor may be a global shutter sensor or a rolling shutter sensor. The sensor generates a first set of images while operating in a first mode. In response to detecting a laser signal in the first set of images, the sensor is caused to operate in a second mode. The laser signal includes an embedded frequency signal component and repeats at a periodic rate. While the sensor is operating in the second mode, the sensor generates a second set of images, which capture an entire period of the laser signal. From the second set of images, the embedded frequency signal component is determined. A decoding operation is performed using the embedded frequency signal component.

Abstract: A cable anchoring for a motorized non-vertical sun protection screen. The cable anchoring comprises: a frame having an entry opening for receiving a cable end; a bobbin for winding the cable end thereon; a worm gear fixedly attached to the bobbin; and a worm attached on the frame and engaging the worm gear, wherein the worm and worm gear together forming a self-locking worm gear reducer. A self-locking worm gear reducer can only rotate minimally under load. By winding the cable end onto a bobbin, which itself is fixedly attached to the worm gear, the cable end is firmly connected to the self-locking worm gear reducer. A dynamic load (e.g. during winding or unwinding) on the tension cable has no effect on the bobbin due to the self-locking worm gear reducer. Therefor, the cable anchoring according to the present invention has no or only minimal wear on the tension cable.

The diagnostic circuitry is configured to apply the sampled signals to the diagnostic model and to determine the probability of the at least one cryopump failing within a predetermined time from an output of the model.

Abstract: A system for multiple brakes intelligently controlled by a single brake input on a personal mobility vehicle. By determining a front and rear brake differential based on the position and weight of the rider as well as the environmental and vehicle conditions, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels. By applying different braking systems based on a combination of controls and sensors, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for calculating dynamic ambient occlusion (AO) values for character models to yield high-quality approximations of global illumination effects. The approach utilizes a dual component machine-learning model that factorizes dynamic AO computation into a non-linear component, in which visibility is determined by approximating spheres and their casted shadows, and a linear component that leverages a skinning-like algorithm for efficiency. The parameters of both components are trained in a regression against ground-truth AO values. The resulting model accommodates lighting interactions with external objects and can be generalized without requiring carefully constructed training data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for a query conversion system to convert a first query string from a first version of a query language to a second version of the query language.

The code converter may parse the first node tree while using the compatibility library to convert the commands and generate a second node tree. The query formatter may create a second query string executable by the second version of the query language.

Abstract: A lubricant delivery apparatus for installation on a device that includes a moving component that is actuated by an actuating fluid from an actuating fluid source is disclosed. The apparatus includes a lubricant supply reservoir and a pump operably coupled to the reservoir for receiving a pre-determined amount of lubricant from the reservoir and for discharging the pre-determined amount of lubricant from the apparatus. The apparatus has a non-actuated state, wherein the predetermined amount of lubricant is disposed within the pump and an actuated state wherein the predetermined amount of lubricant is discharged from the pump. While the apparatus is installed on the device, the pump is operably coupled to the actuating fluid source such that actuation of the moving component is with effect that the apparatus transitions from the non-actuated state to the actuated state such that the predetermined amount of lubricant is delivered to the moving component.

Abstract: This Video/Camera works in the same way as do our human eyes, with the two Lenses placed six and a half centimeters apart from the center of the left Lens to the center of the right Lens, and also, the two Lenses always focusing on the same spot. Our human eyes, when wishing to see something that is closer in distance, the eyes swerve more to the center; left eye turning right, and right eye turning left. In order to target at a point from two angles, the eyes must give less attention to the wider area. All around the area, the two human eyes see a misty, vague shadow, and also double, since the two eyes look from different locations. Each Lens has two Image Sensors—a Sensor is the receiver of the light from a Lens—quite close together in parallel, the first Sensor of the two is too close in length from the Lens in order to be clear.
