  • Publication number: 20240281408
    Abstract: Methods and systems are configured for receiving data associated with a data item, accessing first data structures, corresponding to a first time window, and comprising a first data structure that maps to first storage locations and a second data structure that maps to second storage locations. Second data structures corresponding to the second time window are accessed. The second data structures comprise a first data structure that maps to a set of storage locations that are absent the storage locations of the first storage locations and a second data structure that maps to a set of storage locations that are absent the storage locations of the second storage locations. Elements of each of the first data structures second data structures are identified. First and second storage locations are selected based on the elements.

  • Patent number: 11642586
    Abstract: Provided is a device for pitch detection within user-defined zones. The device detects a first gesture at a first height based on first output from all or some sensors, and detects a second gesture at a second height based on second output from all or some sensors. The device sets a top and bottom of the user-defined zone based on the first height and the second height, and tracks a location of an object relative to the user-defined zone based on third output, from a subset of sensors, that is generated in response to the object moving over or under the subset of sensors. The device discards output generated from two or more sensors that are not adjacent, measurements from adjacent sensors that differ by more than a distance threshold, and/or output from adjacent sensors with timestamps that differ by more than a time threshold.

  • Patent number: 11155166
    Abstract: A work machine may include a steering system, a user interface, a detection device, and a control device. The user interface may generate an input signal corresponding to operator input. The detection device may generate a detection signal corresponding to a presence of an operator relative to the user interface. The control device may determine that the operator is unavailable based on the detection signal and the input signal, and enable a lockout mode based on determining that the operator is unavailable. The control device may determine, while the lockout mode is enabled, a readiness indicator. The readiness indicator may confirm a readiness of the operator based on determining that the detection signal satisfies a readiness criterion. The control device may disable the lockout mode based on determining that the readiness criterion is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9947138
    Abstract: A method for providing environment information to a mobile device user is presented. The method comprises receiving a request for target environment information from a mobile device, determining the pose of the mobile interface device relative to the target environment, and obtaining target environment data for one or more measurable environment parameters (e.g., radiation level). The target environment data is used to assemble augmented reality information configured for viewing in conjunction with a real-time view of the target environment captured by the mobile interface device. The target augmented reality information is then transmitted to the mobile device for display to the user.

  • Publication number: 20150241249
    Abstract: A sensor system for detecting position of a target member relative to a receiving member is disclosed. The sensor system includes a circuit board. The circuit board includes a first and second inductive coils configured to generate first and a second inductive signals, respectively, in response to a movement between the target member relative to the receiving member. The circuit board includes an inductive sensing unit configured to generate first and digital signals based on the first and second inductive signals, respectively. The circuit board includes a processing unit configured to generate an output indicative of the movement between the target member and the receiving member based on a ratio or difference between the first and second digital signals. The sensor system further includes a housing assembly structured and arranged to encase the circuit board. The housing assembly is coupled to one of the target member and the receiving member.
