  • Patent number: 9903934
    Abstract: A dimensional measuring device sends a beam of light to a remote probe having a retroreflector and a pitch/yaw sensor. The pitch/yaw sensor passes the light through an aperture and a lens to a position sensor that generates an electrical signal indicative of the position of the received light. A processor uses the electrical signal to determine a pitch angle and a yaw angle of the remote probe.

  • Patent number: 9607243
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to providing users with sequences of images of physical locations over time or time-lapses. In order to do so, a set of images of a physical location may be identified. From the set of images, a representative image may be selected. The set may then be filtered by comparing the other images in the set to the representative image. The images in the filtered set may then be aligned to the representative image. From this set, a time-lapsed sequence of images may be generated, and the amount of change in the time-lapsed sequence of images may be determined. At the request of a user device for a time-lapsed image representation of the specified physical location, the generated time-lapsed sequence of images may be provided.

  • Patent number: 9471695
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to generating a sequence of images or other visual representations associated with an entity, otherwise known as a semantic image navigation experience. After an entity is selected, a set of sub-entities may be identified. Each sub-entity in the set has a containment relationship with the selected entity as well as at least one associated landmark and one associated pre-stored navigation experience. Then, a ranking order of the sub-entities in the set may be determined based on characteristics of each entity. Based on the determined ranking order, a subset of sub-entities may be selected. A semantic image navigation experience for the selected entity may then be generated using the pre-stored navigation experiences associated with the subset of sub-entities.

  • Publication number: 20150164006
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a support element and a guide for vines whose interaction with the harvester machine is minimized. Additionally, the support element and guide for vines according to the invention herein provides a more stable fastening for the hooks with the wire cables. The support element and guide is characterised in that the branches of the body have a convex shape so as not to protrude from the pole and, therefore, not to be dragged along by the harvester machine. Also, and preferably, the hook portions form a U with the second end of the corresponding hook section, enabling the cables to be retained more securely, thereby minimizing the risk of the cables becoming released from the hooks due to the vibrations caused by the harvester machine.

  • Patent number: 8783588
    Abstract: A bran finishing process in grain milling employs a milling machine in which bran that contains some endosperm, including aleurone, is fed into an annular milling chamber defined on an inner side by an eccentric cylindrical rotor and on an outer side by a frame assembly that includes perforated screens and abrasive surfaces. Longitudinal lobes protrude radially from the rotor. The lobes compress the bran as they rotate, while the lesser diameter of the rotor between lobes allows the bran to decompress, causing bran particles to rub together for detaching endosperm from the bran by friction forces. Bran particles also rub against the abrasive surfaces for scraping endosperm off the bran. Air flows through the milling chamber and carries the endosperm through the perforated screens, while the bran particles are discharged without passing through the screens.

  • Publication number: 20100107490
    Abstract: A guide and fastening element is used to draw together and keep joined together the cables which guide the stocks and which force their vertical growth. The stocks may be confined to the space between said cables, and that it is formed by a warped structure made with wire in a rigid material which has two branches in the common vertex whereof an elastic element is disposed, each branch being bent by one or more points forming different stretches and the free end of each branch having a hooking element in order to hold the cable of the opposite side of a post of the vine.

  • Publication number: 20080143504
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for preventing accidents in the event of drowsiness overcoming the driver of a vehicle. The inventive device comprises a series of sensors which are disposed on the vehicle steering wheel in order to detect the driver's grip on the wheel and the driver's pulse. The aforementioned sensors are connected to a control unit which is equipped with the necessary programming and/or circuitry to activate an audible indicator in the event of the steering wheel being released by both hands and/or a fall in the driver's pulse to below the threshold of consciousness. The device employs a shutdown switch.

  • Publication number: 20050007673
    Abstract: Extremely compact and light-weight optical systems, apparatus, devices and methods to image miniature displays. Such systems include, for example, head-mounted projection displays (HMPD), head-mounted displays (HMDs), and cameras for special effects, compact microscopes and telescopes as well as applications in which magnification and compactness are design criteria. The invention includes an ultra-compact imaging system based on microlenslet arrays and demonstrates that such a system can achieve an object-to-image distance as low as approximately 1.7 mm. with the usage of commercially available microlenslet arrays. The replacement of bulk macro-optical system by multi-aperture micro-optics is achieved.
