Abstract: A deck plate positioning system for an agricultural harvester includes a controller comprising a memory and a processor. The controller is configured to receive a sensor signal indicative of an image of harvested crop material within a feederhouse of the agricultural harvester. The controller is also configured to analyze the image to measure at least one metric of the harvested crop material related to physical geometries and sizes of the harvested crop material within the feederhouse. The controller is further configured to automatically adjust positions of deck plates of a header of the agricultural harvester based on the at least one metric.

Abstract: A method and system for generating binary image of a document image is disclosed. The method includes determining a negative map image, an inverse negative map image, an HSV image and a grayscale image of the document image. One or more cells corresponding to at least one table are detected based on detection of lines in the negative map image. For each of the cells, a foreground mean value, a background mean value, and a background mean HSV value is determined. Each of the cells are categorized as a dark cell or a light cell based on the foreground mean value and the background mean value. Contrast value of each cell is determined based on the foreground mean value and the background mean value. The binary image is determined based on the contrast value, a pre-defined threshold value, the background mean HSV value and the categorization of the corresponding cell.

Abstract: A protection device includes a first protection stage comprising a first p-type transistor comprising a first terminal, a second terminal, and a first gate terminal. A first voltage regulating device is connected between the first terminal and the second terminal. A second voltage regulating device is connected between the first terminal and the first gate terminal. A third voltage regulating device is connected to the first gate terminal. A first current source is connected to the first gate terminal.

Abstract: A method and system of determining shape of a table in a document is disclosed. A region of interest (ROI) from a binarized image of the document is determined is detected corresponding to the table based on detection of a plurality of lines. The ROI is extracted based on a minimum height threshold and a minimum width threshold of the document image. A cluster of points corresponding to each corner of the ROI are determined based on a height of the ROI and contour detection. A corner type of each corner is determined to be one of a 10 pointed corner or a curved corner and in case the corner type of least two corners is determined as the curved corner the shape of the table is determined as a rounded corner structure.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to energy management in a building. In one aspect, a method includes providing a plurality of apparatus. Each apparatus of the plurality of apparatus includes a controller, a light, and a heating/cooling device. The controller is in communication with a control system, and the control system controls the electrical system of a building. A power price is received from the control system at a first apparatus of the plurality of apparatus. The power price is compared to a set point power price. Power supplied to at least one of the light of the first apparatus, the heating/cooling device of the first apparatus, a lighting device in a region proximate the first apparatus, and a heating/cooling device in the region proximate the first apparatus is adjusted based on comparing the power price to the set point power price.
