  • Patent number: 12456215
    Abstract: An apparatus for generating a 3D image map comprises a camera, mounted to a spacecraft, configured to capture plurality of images of an object from a plurality of positions about the object. An unstructured light source for illuminating the object to capture the plurality of images of the object. A gimbal mechanism for mounting the camera and the unstructured light source and moving the camera to a plurality of positions. Image processing circuitry configured to process the plurality of images of the object and generate a 3D image map of the of the object responsive to the plurality of image of the object. The image processing circuitry further having a processor configured to implement a shape-from-motion algorithm for generating the 3D image map responsive to the plurality of images of the object.

  • Patent number: 11714153
    Abstract: A path finding system using a series of networked receiver beacons is disclosed. The system includes receiver beacons placed on a path. Each of the receiver beacons include a transceiver receiving and sending signals and a location indicator such as a LED, that when activated indicates the location of the receiver beacon. Each of the receiver beacons include a controller coupled to the indicator and the transceiver. The controller is operable to receive an activation signal to activate the indicator. A transmitter is paired with each of the receiver beacons. The transmitter includes a transceiver to send an activation signal to at least one of the receiver beacons. The receiver beacon receives the activation signal and activates the indicator. The receiver beacon also relays the activation signal to at least another receiver beacon.

  • Publication number: 20090094090
    Abstract: A method of sourcing resumes from databases connected to the internet, the method comprising of receiving a requirement from an employer for one or more candidate(s) to be employed, assessing the requirement to obtain a desired profile of the candidate to be employed, defining at least one primary internet keyword search command based on the desired profile, collecting a first set of resumes based on the at least one primary internet keyword search command, mapping inputs provided by the employer, wherein the inputs are based on the first set of resumes collected, converting the inputs provided by the employer to at least one secondary internet keyword search command, collecting a second set of resumes based on the at least one secondary internet keyword search command, calibrating the candidates identified by the second set of resumes using the at least one secondary internet keyword search command, establishing a standard to identify candidates suitable for an interview, converting the established standard
