  • Publication number: 20230194292
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to provide three-dimensional representations of routes. Locations for a planned movement may be obtained. The location information may include tridimensional information of a location. Route information for the planned movement may be obtained. The route information may define a route of one or more entities within the location. A three-dimensional view of the route within the location may be determined based on the location information and the route information. An interface through which the three-dimensional view of the route within the location is accessible may be provided.

  • Patent number: 7454532
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for processing data in real-time or near real-time using a processor. The processor passes the real-time input data directly to functional units via a bypass multiplexer without storing the data in memory. The functional units process the input data and provide output data. The output data of the functional units is transmitted outside the processor without being stored in memory. Alternatively, the output data of the functional units can be stored in memory in the processor. Input data that needs to be maintained in the processor for a period of time is stored in memory.

  • Publication number: 20060259737
    Abstract: A vector processor includes a set of vector registers for storing data to be used in the execution of instructions and a vector functional unit coupled to the vector registers for executing instructions. The functional unit executes instructions using operation codes provided to it which operation codes include a field referencing a special register. The special register contains information about the length and starting point for each vector instruction. The processor includes a high speed memory access system to facilitate faster operation.

  • Publication number: 20060259807
    Abstract: An external data signal serves as the basis for clocking a processor. In particular, a processor clock signal is generated from the external data signal which has a frequency that is an integer multiple of the frequency (data rate) of the external data signal. In this way, metastable conditions arising from different clock signals can be avoided.

  • Publication number: 20060163403
    Abstract: A spincast fishing reel consisting of a frame in which the line spool is mounted horizontally above the reel frame and gear box assembly inside a round, lidded line canister, positioned horizontal to the horizontal plane. The line spool used is a commercially available plastic line manufacturer's dispenser spool in lieu of an internal reel spool. The line dispenser spool is mounted on a central line spindle, inside the line canister. A drag thumb wheel button is mounted centrally atop the line canister, followed by a capstone quick release line spool twist knob, which is also connected to the line spindle inside the line canister. A spring mounted line release lever protrudes out the back side of the reel frame through an open slit in the reel frame cover. Cast line exits the top mounted line canister through a grommeted aperture mounted at the front, and facing the direction of the rod guides.

  • Patent number: 4908987
    Abstract: A pet portal for use on a door, with an opening cut in it, permitting a pet, such as a cat or a dog, to enter a house without having to have anyone open the door for them. The pet portal includes a horizontal panel mounted on a slidably mounted vertical panel. The horizontal panel extends both inside and outside the door with an actuating means for pulling the horizontal panel and the vertical panel up to the top of the opening in the door so that the vertical panel covers the opening in the door. Both the vertical and horizontal panels slide downwardly against the actuating means when a pet steps on the horizontal panel either inside or outside of the door.

  • Patent number: 4595351
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming a decorative seal on envelopes and the like is disclosed. The envelopes to be embossed are intermittently transported along a conveyor past various processing stations. At a first station, a quantity of heated molten seal material is deposited at a desired location on an envelope. The envelope is next transported to a first cooling station where a stream of cooled air is directed against the deposited molten material for partial cooling. At a subsequent stamping position, a cooled embossed die is applied to the seal material to form an embossed decorative pattern therein. The envelope is then transported to a refrigerated chamber which accelerates solidification of the stamped seal material to form an embossment. The timing of the intermittent movement of the conveyor is controlled in accordance with the quantity, temperature, and type of seal material used to form the embossment.

  • Patent number: 4085352
    Abstract: The Digital Waveform Analyzer is a solid state highly portable device that approximates the operation of a cathode ray oscilloscope in time sweep mode by selectively lighting elements of a rectangular matrix of light emitting diodes. The LED array has its rows driven by a vertical circuit and its columns driven by a horizontal circuit. The vertical circuit converts the analog input signal to a "one-of-N" digital code. The converter utilizes an array of comparators and exclusive OR gates and does not require clocking. The horizontal circuit which corresponds to the sweep section of a standard cathode ray oscilloscope has a variable frequency clock generator, a binary counter, a decoder and synchronizing circuits.
