  • Publication number: 20250164660
    Abstract: Examples provide a metal detector including an array of capacitor banks and at least one resistor selectively connectable to one of a first receiver coil and a second receiver coil. The array has a plurality of capacitor bank configurations each associated with a respective capacitance value. The at least one resistor has a plurality of resistor configurations each associated with a respective resistance value. An electronic processor is configured to dynamically pre-balance the metal detector by selecting a capacitor bank configuration to assign to the first receiver coil or the second receiver coil, assigning the selected capacitor bank configuration to the first receiver coil or the second receiver coil, selecting a resistor configuration to assign to the first receiver coil or the second receiver coil, and assigning the selected resistor configuration to the first receiver coil or the second receiver coil.

  • Publication number: 20250164630
    Abstract: Monostatic radar with progressive length transmission may be used with half-duplex systems or with full-duplex systems to reduce self-interference. The system transmits a first signal for a first duration and receives a first reflection of the first signal from a first object during a second duration. The system transmits a second signal for a third duration longer than the first duration and receives a second reflection of the second signal from a second object during a fourth duration. The system calculates a position of the first object and the second object based on the first reflection and the second reflection. The first signal, first duration, and second duration are configured to detect reflections from objects within a first distance of the system. The second signal, third duration, and fourth duration are configured to detect reflections from objects between the first distance and a second distance from the system.

  • Publication number: 20250166283
    Abstract: A method of processing a primitive as part of intersection testing in a ray tracing system, the primitive being defined by an ordered set of vertices. Data defining a direction and an origin of a ray to be tested against the primitive, and coordinate data for a set of vertices are received. The coordinate data for the set of vertices is projected into ray space using the ray data, wherein the ray space has two non-parallel axes that are transverse to the direction of the ray, wherein a ray-space frame of reference associated with the axes is centered at a point on the ray such that the ray is represented as that point on the axes in the ray space, and wherein the point is an origin of the ray space. Then, the signs of the coordinate data for the set of vertices are analysed to determine whether a non-intersection condition is fulfilled, wherein fulfilment of the non-intersection condition indicates that the ray does not intersect the primitive.

  • Publication number: 20250165478
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media for executing a autonomous remote browser based on a generative response engine. For example, a method can be executed at a local device to interact with a remote browser. The present technology includes transmitting, from a local application, an instruction to a remote browser service to spawn a remote browser in a container, wherein the instruction includes a natural language task for the remote browser to perform at a first address. The present technology includes receiving a stream based on execution of the natural language task in the remote browser by a generative response engine. The stream includes images illustrating the remote browser and data describing at least events generated by the generative response engine for the remote browser. The local application can render the images and the data from the stream in the local application.
