Abstract: A hierarchy is a multi-level linked structure of nodes, wherein the hierarchy represents data relating to a set of one or more items to be processed. Where there are multiple input hierarchies, it may improve the efficiency of the processing of the items to merge the input hierarchies to form a merged hierarchy. The hierarchies are merged by identifying two or more sub-hierarchies within the input hierarchies which are to be merged, and determining one or more nodes of the merged hierarchy which reference nodes of the identified sub-hierarchies. The determined nodes of the merged hierarchy are stored and indications of the references between the determined nodes of the merged hierarchy and the referenced nodes of the identified sub-hierarchies are also stored. In this way, the merged hierarchy is formed for use in processing the items.

Abstract: An underwater camera system comprising a remote station such as a boat a diver connection module located at the back of diver's helmet including a splitter box. High voltage transmission power and a fiber optics tether come into the box from the boat on the surface through the fiber optics which can be integral with, attached to or coextending with the umbilical cord. The voltage is dropped, the fiber optic signal is converted to USB, and the two are fed out to the camera module which is adjustably mounted on the side of the diver's helmet, to allow change of focus in the same line of sight as the diver's vision and allowing full handsfree use.

Abstract: An automatic visual analyzer having a viewing body, a drive line being a tether, a control and communication system, and power input connected by the tether to the viewing body. The viewing body has a barrel section with a plurality of cameras mounted thereon in fixed related directions to allow a defined directional scan of the confined pathway. At a lower end of the barrel is a bell skirt which extends outwardly with a greater diameter than the barrel and the plurality of cameras so as to be the most outer part of the viewing body and provide protection from side engagements with the wall of the confined pathway.

Abstract: The invention provides physical targets for training, including targets (101) for projectiles fired by non-ballistic ammunition such as paint marker rounds. The targets can be used for detecting the impact of a projectile, with the target including a body (103) and plurality of sensors mounted on the body for detecting an impact of a projectile on the body. Each sensor provides an output representing a detected impact. A processor receives the sensor outputs and determines, from the sensor outputs, a location at which the projectile impacts the body. The target may also include one or more domain actuators (202) controlling actions of the target based on a current behavioural state of the target.

Abstract: Implementations are directed to remote data aggregation, data management, and data visualization of field data from remote field site locations. Actions can include generating, by one or more sensors, the field data, each sensor of the one or more sensors being responsive to field site activity, transmitting, through a regional network, the field data to a back-end system, processing, by the back-end system, the field data to provide visualization data, transmitting the visualization data to one or more mobile computing devices, and providing a computer-executable application for execution on a mobile computing device, the computer-executable application processing the visualization data to provide data visualizations.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to an autonomous driving system in a vehicle having a radar system with a Non-Line-of-Sight (“NLOS”) correction module to correct for NLOS reflections prior to the radar system identifying targets in a path and a surrounding environment of the vehicle, and a sensor fusion module to receive information from the radar system on the identified targets and compare the information received from the radar system to information received from at least one sensor in the vehicle.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to a radar system in an autonomous vehicle. The radar system has a radar module including at least one beam steering antenna and an antenna controller. The radar system also includes a perception module having an object detection module to detect objects in a path and surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle, and a decision network to determine a control action for the antenna controller to perform based on the detected objects and a control policy.
