  • Patent number: 10546387
    Abstract: A method determines a pose of an image capture device. The method includes accessing an image of a scene captured by the image capture device. A semantic segmentation of the image is performed, to generate a segmented image. An initial pose of the image capture device is generated using a three-dimensional (3D) tracker. A plurality of 3D renderings of the scene are generated, each of the plurality of 3D renderings corresponding to one of a plurality of poses chosen based on the initial pose. A pose is selected from the plurality of poses, such that the 3D rendering corresponding to the selected pose aligns with the segmented image.

  • Patent number: 10528126
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for determining the orientation of an object relative to a moving or moveable platform. The object may for example be a helmet worn by a pilot of an aircraft in which orientation of the helmet relative the aircraft while in flight may usefully be known, in particular when determining the position of space-stabilised symbols being displayed in an associated helmet-mounted digital display system. The method and apparatus rely upon a combination or orientation rate data output by an inertial sensor arrangement associated with the object and orientation data output by a non-inertial tracker system associated with the object. Orientation data of the moveable platform is also used to reference the non-inertial tracker output to inertial space.

  • Publication number: 20190383955
    Abstract: There is provided an x-ray detector having a number of x-ray detector sub-modules. Each detector sub-module is an edge-on detector sub-module having an array of detector elements extending in at least two directions, wherein one of the directions has a component in the direction of incoming x-rays. The detector sub-modules are stacked one after the other and/or arranged side-by-side. For at least part of the detector sub-modules, the detector sub-modules are arranged for providing a gap between adjacent detector sub-modules, where at least part of the gap is not directed linearly towards the x-ray focal point of an x-ray source.

  • Publication number: 20190383418
    Abstract: There is provided an irrigation valve with embedded rings for reinforcement of valve ports. The valve has a valve body and threaded flow paths, the flow paths including an outlet and an inlet on opposite sides of the valve body. Irrigation piping is attached to the inlet and to the outlet. The reinforcement rings at the inlet and the outlet prevent fracturing of the valve body and/or piping due to overtightening of the piping. Further provided is a scrubber for an irrigation valve. The scrubber and frees debris on a filter. The scrubber may be manually extracted for maintenance or replacement without the need for mechanical tools.

  • Patent number: 10481498
    Abstract: Droplet generators, such as used in an EUV radiation source, and associated EUV radiation sources and lithographic apparatuses. A droplet generator can include a nozzle assembly to emit the fuel as droplets, the nozzle assembly being within a pressurized environment at substantially the same pressure as the fuel pressure within the droplet generator. A droplet generator can include an actuator in contact with and biased against a pump chamber by means of a biasing mechanism having an actuator support biased against the actuator. The actuator acts on the fuel within the pump chamber to create droplets. The actuator support has a material with a greater coefficient of thermal expansion than its surrounding structure, such that it is moveable within the surrounding structure at ambient temperature, but expands against the surrounding structure at an operating temperature, so as to clamp the actuator support against the surrounding structure at the operating temperature.
