  • Patent number: 11921214
    Abstract: A method transmits a first optical beam towards targets within a field of view (FOV). The first optical beam is modulated at a first chirp rate for a first set of scan lines that correspond to a first distance of the targets. The method identifies conditions based on the FOV to calculate a second chirp rate, and generates a scan pattern by transmitting a second optical beam towards the targets within the FOV. The second optical beam is modulated at the second chirp rate for a second set of scan lines that corresponds to a second distance of the one or more targets. The method generates, based on the first and second optical beams, the point cloud that includes multiple data points related to the target in which some of the data points are related to a first target and other data points are related to a second target.

  • Publication number: 20110064847
    Abstract: A method of denaturing a protein by treating the protein with a protein glutaminase and a transglutaminase, a food containing a protein having been denatured with these enzymes, and an enzyme preparation for denaturing a protein which contains these enzymes. A protein is denatured by adding protein glutaminase and transglutaminase to the protein substantially at the same timing, or adding protein glutaminase to the protein before the transglutaminase acts on the protein, or controlling the quantitative ratio of protein glutaminase to transglutaminase, by which a protein is treated, to a definite level.
