  • APPARATUSES, AND SYSTEMS FOR TRIGGERING A MOBILE SCANNING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20200022433
    Abstract: Various embodiments described herein illustrate a glove that includes an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The anterior portion is knitted seamlessly with the posterior portion to define a metacarpal region and a plurality of finger regions extending out from the metacarpal region. A first conductive pad is knitted on the anterior portion of the glove. The first conductive pad is knitted on a distal end portion of a first finger region. A second conductive pad knitted on the posterior portion of the glove. Further, the second conductive pad is knitted on a second finger region. An electronic device is removably attached to the posterior portion and is in electrical communication with the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad. The electronic device is triggered in an instance in which the first conductive pad contacts the second conductive pad.

  • Method and device for capturing images using image templates
    Patent number: 10467498
    Abstract: Method and device for capturing images of a target object using image templates at a device are disclosed. The method includes rendering an image template on the display for determining a position of the target object in an image to be captured using the device; capturing a first image of the target object using the image sensor and displaying the captured first image on the display while keeping the image template on the display; extracting one or more features associated with the position of the target object from the captured first image; determining whether the one or more features extracted from the captured first image match the image template; and generating an alert signal in accordance with a determination that at least one of the one or more features extracted from the captured first image matches the image template.

  • Millable, Recyclable, Waterproofing, Paving Fabric Interlayer System And Method Of Use
    Publication number: 20190226159
    Abstract: A millable, recyclable, paving fabric interlayer system for the construction and repair of roadways and other load-bearing surfaces and method of using such a fabric is disclosed. The paving fabric includes thermoplastic materials and is combined with asphalt cement to provide a flexible, stress relieving, waterproofing layer for roadways. Because of the thickness and asphalt cement absorption of the fabric, the system provides a stress absorbing interlayer to resist fatigue and reflective cracking in pavements. The system also acts as an effective moisture barrier due to the enhanced capability to retain sufficient asphalt cement when paved onto a roadway. Such a system has the required strength and elongation to be installed on smooth or milled surfaces yet is easily milled and recycled owing to the uniquely engineered tensile and tear strengths of the fabric.
