  • Publication number: 20260110641
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dimensional measurement apparatus. The apparatus includes at least one light source, camera means spaced apart from and directed towards said light source, a platform located intermediate said light source and camera means, arranged to receive an article thereon to be measured by said apparatus, in use; and computing means in communication with at least said light source and camera means. The light source, upon communication with the computing means, is arranged in use to illuminate in portions or regions behind the article being measured with respect to the camera means, which correspond with edges and/or an outer profile of that article, as detected by the camera means and communicated to the light source via the computing means.

  • Patent number: 7653470
    Abstract: A method to prevent chain jump in a drivetrain of a four-wheel drive vehicle including receiving sensed vehicle parameters from sensors in the four-wheel drive vehicle, generating transfer case chain-jump parameters based on the sensed vehicle parameters and sending a command signal to initiate disengagement of a clutch pack in a transfer case of the drivetrain responsive to the generated transfer case chain-jump parameters.

  • Publication number: 20060268775
    Abstract: A system and method providing a frame structure to received channel data sent over an air interface of a wireless communication system. The system and method may allow compensation for transmitting and receiving frequency variations, synchronization at the receiver, and provides a virtual signaling channel which may be used for system alarms and status. In one embodiment, the system uses bit stuffing, a frame preamble and a signaling preamble to transmit data at a high data rate in the ISM band.
