Abstract: Vehicle systems and methods are provided for synchronizing control modules over a communications bus for synchrophasing propellers. A vehicle electrical system includes a communications bus, a bus control module to transmit a first message over the communications bus, a vehicle control module coupled to the bus control module to identify a first timestamp associated with the first message being transmitted in a first clock domain associated with the vehicle control module and provide a subsequent message to the bus control module including the first timestamp, and an actuator control module coupled to the communications bus to identify a second timestamp associated with the first message being received over the communications bus and determine an adjustment to synchronize a second clock domain associated with the actuator control module with the first clock domain based at least in part on a relationship between the first timestamp and the second timestamp.

Abstract: Inspection system for a device under test (DUT) includes an image sensor, N image obtaining devices, K switches, M image processing devices, and at least one added image processing device. The image obtaining devices are connected to the image sensor, and each of the N image obtaining devices receives image data of the image of the DUT captured by the image sensor. Each of the K switches is connected to a respective one of the image obtaining devices. Each of the M image processing devices is connected to a respective one of the switches, receives the image data that is output from one of the N image obtaining devices and is distributed by one of the K switches, and generates processed image data in real-time. The added image processing device is connected to one of the switches, receives the image data, and generates additional processed image data in real-time.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an illumination light source to output an illumination light, an illumination optical system to transmit the illumination light toward a sample, an imaging optical system to transmit light reflected from the sample, a stage to move the sample in a predetermined transfer direction, and a photographing unit to receive the reflected light. The imaging apparatus may include one or more diffraction grids located at conjugate focal planes of the sample. The operation of the photographing unit may be synchronized with a movement of the sample by the stage to obtain an image in accordance with a time delay integration method.

Abstract: A system having a plurality of portable data terminals positioned at a plurality of separate consumer site visiting locations and an apparatus and methods of advertising are provided. Each of the plurality of portable data terminals preferably has a display associated therewith. Each consumer site visiting location preferably has one or more of the plurality of portable data terminals. Each of the plurality of portable data terminals is preferably networked through a data communication path to a remote computer having advertising software stored in memory of or associated with the computer and defining an advertising server. The advertising server advantageously allows selected product or service previews such as sneak previews of new movie releases, new or existing video game releases, new or existing sportswear, new or existing food products, new or existing beverages, new or existing equipment, and new or existing services.
