  • Publication number: 20240242193
    Abstract: The present disclosure utilizes excess processing capacity of a point of sale (POS) system by dynamically managing assigned tasks based on an expected activity of an individual. A resource management system can use image data and a trained neural network to analyzes aspects of an appearance or a behavior of the individual as captured in the image data to quantify a likelihood of the individual participating in a checkout procedure. The resource management system can dynamically allocate resources across different POS systems in anticipation of expected activity. This allows for the efficient use of the POS systems' resources while maintaining good system performance and a positive experience.

  • Publication number: 20080207996
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable imaging apparatus for imaging an internal area of an object, such as a body cavity, organ or passage of a human or animal. The imaging apparatus comprises an endoscope and a hand holdable image-viewing device releasably connectable to a proximal end of the endoscope. The endoscope comprises an image capture optical pathway and an illumination optical pathway. The image-viewing device comprises an image detector optically couplable to the image capture optical pathway, a display in communication with the detector and a light source optically couplable to the illumination optical pathway. In use, light is transmitted from the light source to the distal end of the endoscope via the illumination optical pathway and illuminates the internal area to be viewed. An optical image of the internal area is transmitted from the distal end of the endoscope to the image-viewing device via the optical image pathway and detected by the detector.

  • Publication number: 20070031084
    Abstract: A system for monitoring traffic across a structure. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) reflects a light wavelength. A mounting mechanism connects the FBG to the structure, such that physical change of the structure changes a stress to the FBG that changes the light wavelength. And optical fiber carries a first light beam to the FBG and carries a second light beam from the FGB. This permits first light beam including the light wavelength to be received from a light source, and permits the first light beam to be altered into the second light beam by passing the light wavelength through the FBG, and permits the second light beam to be provided to a detector to sense the light wavelength present in the second light beam. From this the stress in the structure and information about the traffic across a structure can be inferred.

  • Publication number: 20060268281
    Abstract: A position determining system (PDS)(100) or multiple parameters measurement system (MPMS)(300) particularly useful for translation and rotation measurement of objects having up to five degrees of freedom. A light source (122, 302) provides light beams (124, 304) into at least two channels. Each channel may include an interferometer (310), reflective target (110, 314), beam splitter (128, 312), detector (132, 316), and receiver (318). In concert, the detectors (132, 316) sense horizontal, vertical, and roll position and the receivers (318) sense longitudinal and yaw position change. Optionally, modulation can be imposed on the light beams (124, 304) and phase-sensitive synchronous demodulation used to enhance accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20060214068
    Abstract: An improved railroad switch monitoring unit of the type that determines whether a mobile rail is brought into a closed state or an open state with respect to a stationary rail. The improvement comprises a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) included in the monitoring unit that is used to determine, based on stress able change in the resonant wavelength of the FBG, whether the mobile rail and the stationary rail are closed or open.
