Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems to resolve return signals among pixels in lidar systems. The described lidar system transmits signals with different waveforms for consecutive pixels to associate return signals with their corresponding pixels. During a detection window, the lidar system receives a return signal and compares it in the frequency domain to at least two template signals. The template signals include the waveform of an initial pixel and a subsequent pixel of two consecutive pixels, respectively. The lidar system then determines, based on the comparison to the template signals, the pixel to which the return signal corresponds and determines a characteristic of an object that reflected the return signal. In this way, the lidar system can confidently resolve detections to reduce the time between pixels. This improvement allows the described lidar system to operate at faster scanning speeds and realize a faster reaction time for automotive applications.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling the sharing of information between a first application and a second application on a computing device are described herein. The method includes the steps of receiving a global search request through the first application and—in response to the reception of the global search request—prompting for a search term from a user. The method further includes the steps of receiving the search term and—based on the received search term—automatically presenting one or more corresponding candidate elements associated with the second application for selection by the user. In addition, the method includes the steps of receiving the selection of at least one of the candidate elements and linking the selected candidate element with the first application such that a user may access the selected candidate element from the first application.

Abstract: A method and system for selectively displaying calendar information on a secure calendar application in an environment designed to restrict secure applications from processing requests from non-secure applications are described herein. In particular, calendar information can be selectively accessed from a non-secure calendar application in accordance with a sync setting that is enforceable against the calendar information. The calendar information from the non-secure calendar application can be imported into a secure calendar application. In addition, the imported calendar information can be displayed as part of the user interface of the secure calendar application when the secure calendar application is activated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a holder for a number of drills, which can advantageously be used for coating drill tips. The holders according to the invention make it possible to arrange the drills in the coating unit in such a way that their tips rest on a cylindrical wall and these can be rotated past a coating source at the same minimum distance. The holder comprises a first curved wall with holes, a second curved wall with holes or slits and a third wall which serves as stop for drills inserted in the holes of the first and second wall.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for identifying an object O in an opening that can be closed by means of a mobile element (12). Light is fed into at least one fiber-optic light guide (33, 34) from a light source (1, 2), and variations in the received light are detected by means of at least one receiver (Ea, Eb), the fiber-optic light guide being arranged at least partially along the edge of the opening (11). A first fiber-optic light guide sends light transversally to the length thereof, said light being then received by a second fiber-optic light guide transversally to the length thereof. The second fiber-optic light guide (34) is connected to the receiver (Eb). The fiber-optic light guides are arranged on the edge of the opening (11) in such a way that a light field (F) at least partially bridging the opening is produced.
