Publication number: 20160173716Abstract: A computer peripheral that may operate as a scanner. The scanner captures image frames as it is moved across an object. The image frames are formed into a composite image based on computations in two processes. In a first process, fast track processing determines a coarse position of each of the image frames based on a relative position between each successive image frame and a respective preceding image determine by matching overlapping portions of the image frames. In a second process, fine position adjustments are computed to reduce inconsistencies from determining positions of image frames based on relative positions to multiple prior image frames. The peripheral may also act as a mouse and may be configured with one or more navigation sensors that can be used to reduce processing time required to match a successive image frame to a preceding image frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2016Publication date: June 16, 2016Applicant: Dacuda AGInventors: Martin Georg Zahnert, Erik Fonseka, Alexander IIic, Simon Meier, Andreas Breitenmoser

Patent number: 5803804Abstract: Air quality in a interior space is monitored by a sensor and, to determine air renewal demand, the sensor signal is compared with a normal or reference value. For demand controlled ventilation, a switching signal is triggered for changing the amount of outside air supplied when air renewal demand changes. A reference ventilation is performed daily, at a time of day when outside air quality is satisfactory, typically in the early morning hours. Measured quality of the air from the reference ventilation is used in setting or resetting the reference value, e.g. adaptively.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 1997Date of Patent: September 8, 1998Assignee: Staefa Control System AGInventors: Simon Meier, Willi Breitenmoser
