  • Publication number: 20180191087
    Abstract: A connector includes a cable tray configured to receive and retain a cable in a stable position and couple with a top cap configured to create an electrical connection with the cable as the top cap is manipulated in a predetermined manner while coupled with the cable tray. An upper surface of the cable tray is configured to receive the cable (e.g., while the cable is generally parallel with the longitudinal axis of the cable tray). The cable tray also includes a finger extending beyond the first end for some distance longitudinally. The finger includes a protrusion that protrudes to some extent in a transverse direction so that a cable-accommodating gap is defined between the protrusion and the first end. The protrusion is configured to bear against the cable and retain the cable in the stable position when the cable is inserted between the protrusion and the first end (before, during and/or after an electrical connection is established).

  • Patent number: 9971023
    Abstract: A sensor array arrangement for a time of flight measurement system is disclosed. The arrangement includes a plurality of pixels and circuitry. The plurality of pixels are configured such that a first plurality of pixels receive a first reference signal and a second plurality of pixels receive a second reference signal. The first and second reference signals are phase shifted with respect to each other. The circuitry calculates depth information by combining information from first and second pixel sensor signals. The first pixel sensor signal is based on the first reference signal. The second pixel sensor signal is based on the second reference signal.

  • Patent number: 9948876
    Abstract: Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide conservation of charge in a pixel. Charge in the pixel may be alternately stored in a first gate capacitance of the pixel and a second gate capacitance of the pixel. Transferring the charge between the gate capacitances conserves some or all of the charge, and reduces input power used to charge the gate capacitances.

  • Patent number: 9922427
    Abstract: A time-of-flight (TOF) camera system includes a radiation source, a radiation detector, a location sensor system and a processor. The radiation source is configured to generate and emit a radiation that strikes a target object. The radiation detector is configured to detect the radiation reflected from the target object and generate a sample set comprising at least two raw samples detected in succession at different times based on the reflected radiation. The location sensor system is configured to detect movements of the TOF camera during the detection and generate a movement signal having portions thereof uniquely corresponding to each of the raw samples of the sample set based on the movements of the TOF camera, wherein a portion of the movement signal is detected at a same time of generating the corresponding raw sample.
