Abstract: Systems and methods integrate different portions of a design review, such as files from a variety of different sources, into an interaction environment for review and interaction by a number of reviewing parties. The reviewing parties interact through an interface that is different from a native software of the files. An automated design review may be performed to evaluate a common rendering, formed from the files, for one or more conflicts, including interferences or version errors.

Abstract: Configurations for rack connection systems are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, installation locations for one or more cables are determined and one or more indicators corresponding to installation locations are activated.

Abstract: A Heating, Ventilation, and/or Air Conditioning (HVAC) controller configured to control at least part of an HVAC system of a building. The HVAC controller may include a user interface and a controller. In response to a selection by a user at the user interface, the controller may assemble and present via the user interface an output that encodes settings in a machine readable form. The controller may display the encoded settings on the display with fixed segments of a fixed segment display. An application program code on a remote device may be utilized to capture the displayed fixed segments that encode the settings in an image. The captured image of fixed segments may be decoded at the remote device or may be sent to a remote computing device for processing and/or decoding.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for evaluating headphones during a manufacturing process can include generating a test sound and measuring a response to the test sound from a headphone being evaluated. The method can further include configuring and/or calibrating the headphone based on the measurement. In some embodiments, such a method can be implemented as part of a process for manufacturing of a large number of headphones having active noise cancellation functionality.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a calibration circuit for an audio amplification system can include a tone generator configured to provide a tone having a frequency to an input path of an audio amplifier, such that an input signal provided to the audio amplifier includes the tone, a a first sampling circuit configured to sample an output signal at an output node of the audio amplifier, and a second sampling circuit configured to sample the input signal at an input node of the audio amplifier. The calibration circuit can further include a gain adjustment circuit configured to generate a correction signal based on the sampled output signal and the sampled input signal to correct for a gain variation of the audio amplifier.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein relate to techniques for computing dimensions of an object. In this regard, a dimensioning system converts points cloud data associated with an object into a density image for a scene associated with the object. The dimensioning system also segments the density image to determine a void region in the density image that corresponds to the object. Furthermore, the dimensioning system determines, based on the void region for the density image, dimension data indicative of one or more dimensions of the object.

Abstract: Xenon is contained within articles of manufacture such as light bulbs. Described herein are an apparatus, system, a method to capture and collect the xenon contained in articles of manufacture such as defective light bulbs for recovery and/or reuse.

Abstract: A process identifies features in a probe image and a donor image. A similarity measure matches the features in the probe image with features in the donor image, and forms pairs of matched features. The process then forms clusters of the pairs based on the pairs occupying a similar location in the probe image, and verifies that the clusters in the probe image are good fits for corresponding features in the donor image. Locations of the clusters and locations of the corresponding features are marked, and the extent to which the clusters and the corresponding features represent the same semantic class. The process calculates a score based on clusters having the good fit and the clusters in the first digital image having a similar semantic interpretation as the corresponding cluster in the second digital image.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices, systems, and methods of image pre-processing for object recognition. One method includes analyzing data about an image to determine one or more characteristics of the image that indicate whether one or more enhancements should be performed on the data, selecting one or more enhancements to consider applying to the data based on the one or more determined characteristics, analyzing the data to determine whether performing each of the selected enhancements will improve the image quality, determining which one or more enhancements to select to perform on the data based on the analysis of whether performing the selected enhancements will improve the image quality, and performing the selected enhancements on the data to improve the image quality.
