Abstract: A non-contact electric potential meter system to determine voltage between an AC conductor and a reference potential without direct electrical contact to the conductor. A housing provides a shielded measurement region that excludes other conductors and holds power supply means; an AC voltage sensing mechanism includes a conductive sense plate and an electrical connection to the reference potential. Waveform-sensing electronic circuitry obtains an AC voltage waveform induced by capacitive coupling between the conductor and the conductive sense plate. Capacitance-determining electronic circuitry obtains a scaling factor based on the coupling capacitance formed between the conductor and the conductive sense plate. Signal processing electronic circuitry uses the AC voltage waveform and the coupling capacitance-based scaling factor to obtain the voltage between the conductor and the reference potential.

Abstract: The techniques described herein relate to methods and systems for three-dimensional (3D) inspection using deep learning model pre-trained with two-dimensional (2D) images. The techniques include transforming a 3D representation (e.g., captured 3D point cloud, 3D profiles, meshes, voxels) to a 2D map, which can be input to a deep learning model pre-trained with 2D images. The 2D map includes elements disposed in an array. Each element includes a vector of a number of geometric features. Such a configuration enables the 2D map to be in a structure acceptable by the 2D deep learning model. The 2D deep learning model generates an output based on the 2D map and provides the output to a subsystem for generating an inspection result. The inspection result can have a 3D result such as a surface area and/or volume.

Abstract: A knitted component of an upper for a shoe is described. The knitted component includes an inlaid strand that runs through a course of the knitted component that runs in a toe-heel direction. The inlaid strand may be doubled over within the course so that two segments of the same inlaid strand run alongside each other. Along at least one portion of the course, the inlaid strand is exposed, and the segments of the inlaid strand may form loops through which the laces of the shoe's lacing system can be threaded. The inlaid strand has sufficient tensile strength to allow the laces to be tightened without damaging the strand or other parts of the knitted component.
