Abstract: An apparatus for dynamically determining a displacement of a target sensor in an electronic system is disclosed. The apparatus can comprise a non-line-of-sight sensor rigidly mounted on or proximate to the target sensor and configured to measure a parameter that varies with the displacement of the target sensor. The apparatus further can comprise at least one processor coupled to the non-line-of-sight sensor and configured to compute the displacement of the target sensor based on the parameter, and to compute an adjustment value based on the computed displacement.

Abstract: A technique is described herein that employs a resource-efficient image capture system. The image capture system includes an active illumination system for emitting electromagnetic radiation within a physical environment. The image capture system also includes a camera system that includes one or more cameras for detecting electromagnetic radiation received from the physical environment, to produce image information. In one implementation, the technique involves using the same image capture system to produce different kinds of image information for consumption by different respective image processing components. The technique can perform this task by allocating timeslots over a span of time for producing the different kinds of image information. In one case, the image processing components include: a pose tracking component; a controller tracking component; and a surface reconstruction component, etc., any subset of which may be active at any given time.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating and tracking a 3D object shape and pose estimation is disclosed A plurality of 3D object models of related objects varying in size and shape are obtained, aligned and scaled, and voxelized to create a 2D height map of the 3D models to train a principle component analysis model. At least one sensor mounted on a host vehicle obtains a 3D object image. Using the trained principle component analysis model, the processor executes program instructions to estimate the shape and pose of the detected 3D object until the shape and pose of the detected 3D object matches one principle component analysis model. The output of the shape and pose of the detected 3D object is used in one vehicle control function.

Abstract: Embodiments of the use case-based management system enable non-technical users to manage devices, resources, and services that are remote to the premises where their integrated system management devices, applications, or appliances are located. This permits users to subscribe to remote voice, data, and other services without having to first configure their local equipment to ensure proper acceptance of these services. The users can simply select the desired remote services in the use case-based management system, enter a minimum amount of non-technical information such as account information provided by the service provider, and enable the service. The use case-based management system automatically creates generalized system management requests and passes them externally to the proper remote service, resource, or device managers, which then translate and broker these requests into proper low-level commands.

Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods for managing converged workspaces that go beyond storing related files and additionally include other features such as identity and security management; membership and hierarchy management; file and data storage; and data, voice, and potentially other communications services. Workspaces may be personal or shared. A personal workspace may include a number of data and voice services such as a personal file share, an email account, and telephone service. A personal workspace may be a member of a shared workspace for a team, department, company, or organization. Associated voice services can handle incoming calls in a call flow process. Call flows have multiple levels through which calls are routed when they are un-answered, so that an incoming call is successively routed to the next call flow destination(s) until the call is answered or reaches a terminating destination such as voice messaging or an auto attendant.

Abstract: Embodiments of the use case-based management system enable non-technical users to manage complex integrated systems based on familiar languages and workflows, and thus reduce the costs of installing and managing these integrated systems. The dynamic use cases respond to the users' input as well as the continuous feedback of system status and health. Based on these input and feedback, the use case-based management system then subscribes to and authorizes services, manages services and resources, and configures and provisions services, resources, and devices.
