Abstract: A bridge system may enable real-time broadcast graphics generation and receive live or near real-time event-related data from a web-based access module via a WebSocket protocol. Event-related data may be translated from a web-based API format to broadcast graphics hardware specific protocols. Two-way communication may be established between the web-based access module and broadcast graphics hardware by relaying messages from the access module to the graphics hardware via a first protocol and relaying messages from the graphics hardware back to the access module via a second protocol. Constructed graphics encoded with the translated event-related data may be automatically transmitted to the broadcast graphics hardware ready for live broadcast display.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a mechanical connection between a first aircraft component and a second aircraft component. The method includes securing, using a securing device, the first aircraft component to the second aircraft component; obtaining information indicative of an acoustic signal emitted during the securing the first aircraft component to the second aircraft component; and inputting the information indicative of the acoustic signal into a machine learning model. The machine learning model is configured to provide an output indicative of a fault condition of the mechanical connection.

Abstract: A motor calibration system and method for a motor having a rotor, a stator, and at least one phase. The system further comprises a controller and a position detector adapted to detect a position of the rotor with respect to the stator. Wherein the controller is adapted to perform a calibration sequence to calibrate to motor by driving at least one motor phase with a motor control signal at a predetermined maximum amplitude value in a first direction with substantially no load applied on the motor, receiving a feedback signal from the at least one position detector, and determining a first calibration angle shift by measuring a difference between at least the motor control signal and the feedback signal of the at least one motor phase. The controller accounts for the first calibration angle shift when driving the motor in the first direction during normal operation.

Abstract: A license plate frame includes an electronic device and a camera, such that the camera can capture images in front of or behind a vehicle. The electronic device determines that a collision has occurred between the vehicle with the license plate frame and another vehicle using motion detectors, accelerometer, camera, or other device/sensor. The camera captures video or images of the other vehicle, including the license plate of the other vehicle. In this way, if an owner of a vehicle is not present when a collision occurs (e.g., the car is parked on a street), the owner can determine information about a vehicle that caused the collision. That information may also be utilized to file police reports, submit insurance claims, and generate leads for vehicle repair. The license plate frame also includes a locking mechanism to ensure that only an authorized party can remove the license plate frame.
