Abstract: The invention relates to a measurement system, e.g. comprising a total station and an auxiliary measurement instrument in the form of a pole, and/or an auxiliary measurement instrument, e.g. a pole, and/or a method for determining positions in the field of geodesics or on construction sites, e.g. by means of a construction laser.

Abstract: A method and device for displaying desired positions in a live image of a construction site. The method mat include recording at least one position-referenced image of the construction site; linking at least one desired position to the position-referenced image; storing the position-referenced image together with desired position linkage in an electronic memory; recording a live image of the construction site, in particular in the form of a video, wherein the live image and the position-referenced image at least partially represent an identical detail of the construction site; retrieving the stored position-referenced image from the memory; fitting the position-referenced image with the live image, so that the desired position linked to the position-referenced image can be overlaid in a position-faithful manner on the live image; and position-faithful display of the desired position as a graphic marking in the live image.

Abstract: A coordinate measuring and/or stake out device can be designed for being hand-held (one-handed), free carriage and movement by a user. A position giving means is for determination of an actual translational position of the device using an external position reference and an orientation giving means for determination of an actual rotational position of the device, such that the actual position of the device with respect to all six degrees of freedom of the device can be determined. A radiation source is for generation of a radiation beam as measuring and/or marking beam for measuring and/or visually marking of an object point. A beam steerer is for automatic steering of an alignment of the beam, whereby the beam which differ in the manner of automatic steering the beam alignment.

Abstract: A device (100) that includes a communications port (130), a first processor (135), at least a second processor (140), and a multiplexer (105). The multiplexer can selectively communicatively link the communications port to the first processor or the second processor. The multiplexer can include at least one switch (110, 115) and a switch controller (120) that controls operation of the switch. The switch controller can be responsive to at least one control signal (125) generated by the first processor. The first processor can generate the control signal in response to a command received from an external device (155) connected to the communications port. The command can be an attention command or a test software command. The switch controller also can be responsive to at least one control signal generated by the second processor.

Abstract: A mobile device (102) and method (500) for handling early end of life (EOL) battery indications is provided. The method can include receiving (502) an indication for an end of life (EOL) event, determining (504) an operating mode (704/706) in view of the EOL event (708), determining (506) whether the mobile device is in multiple transmit communication (710), evaluating (508) a battery level of the mobile device, and performing (510) an action (714) in response to the EOL event for mitigating an early shutdown of the mobile device. An action can include masking a low battery alert corresponding to the EOL event, limiting at least one service associated the operating mode, or shutting down the mobile device.
