  • Patent number: 12046032
    Abstract: A ground imaging system for use on a guided aerobody includes one or more lenses designed to receive EM radiation from a ground level, a filter substrate having a plurality of filters, a sensor array designed to receive the EM radiation from the filter substrate, and a processing device coupled to the sensor array. The filter substrate is located at a focal plane of the one or more lenses such that the filter substrate receives the EM radiation from the one or more lenses. The plurality of filters includes at least polarization filters and multispectral filters. The processing device is designed to analyze multispectral and polarization signatures of the electromagnetic radiation from identified objects at the ground level and determine that one or more of the objects is not a desired target based at least on the hyperspectral and polarization signatures of the one or more objects.

  • Publication number: 20240204206
    Abstract: Baumgartner & Lamperstorfer Instruments GmbH B10930PWO-R/To 45 Abstract A highly efficient electrode, especially but not exclusively for an electrolyser for the generation of hydrogen, includes at least an electrically conductive plate, at least one layer of an electrically conductive mesh having knuckles in fused 5 electrical contact with the electrically conductive plate and mesh passages for the flow of an electrically conductive medium laterally through the mesh, as well as a porous layer of electrically conductive material coating a surface of the at least one layer of electrically conductive mesh remote from the conductive plate. The porous layer is in fused electrical contact with the mesh and has a planar surface 10 remote from the electrically conductive plate. A pore size of the porous layer is substantially smaller than a pore size of the mesh passages. 15.

  • Publication number: 20240148186
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are directed to automated preparation of food or consumable items, such as for preparation of fried foods. An example cooking apparatus may include processing devices for the consumable items. In some examples, a robot arm is provided that extends from a moveable base. Locators may define a relative position of the moveable base relative to processing device(s) of the cooking apparatus, such that the robot arm is configured to determine robot arm movements to move the consumable items to and from the processing device(s). In some examples, one or more zones may be used to detect movement near a robot arm, with one or more restrictions being placed upon robot arm and/or base movement in response. In some examples, a cooking apparatus provides automated transport of food ingredients for preparation of food or other consumable items.

  • Publication number: 20240034609
    Abstract: An automated beverage dispensing attachment includes a capacitive sensor located adjacent to a fluid passage, for example, inside of a cork that attaches to an inside of a bottle. The capacitive sensor of the automated beverage dispensing attachment provides an output signal that tracks changes in capacitance due to events such as bottle attachment, liquid presence and user grip. The signal is suitable for complex processing and filtering to precisely identify and characterize a variety of events and actions.

  • Patent number: 11694981
    Abstract: The disclosed technique may be used to electrically and physically connect semiconductor wafers. The wafer may utilize a thick dielectric. Indium bumps may be deposited and patterned in a dielectric film with a small diameter, tall height and substantially uniform in size and shape. The indium can be melted to create small grain size and uniform height bumps. The dielectric film may feature trenches around the indium bumps to prevent shorting of pixels when pressed together.
