Abstract: Embodiments are directed to perceiving scene features using event sensors and image sensors. Enclosures mounted may be on structures arranged to establish a boundary where each enclosure includes an event camera, a beam generator, or a frame camera. The beam generators may be employed to scan paths across objects in a scene that may be outside the boundary. Events may be determined based on detection of beam reflections corresponding to the objects. Trajectories associated with the objects may be determined based on the paths and the events. Objects that may be authorized may be determined based on trajectories associated with authorized objects. Objects in the scene that may be unauthorized may be determined based on trajectories associated with the unauthorized objects. A representation of the unauthorized objects may be determined such that a position and an orientation of the unauthorized objects in the scene may be based on the trajectories.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to perceiving scene features using event sensors and image sensors. Paths may be scanned across objects in a scene with one or more beams. Images of the scene may be captured with frame cameras. Events may be generated based on detection of beam reflections that correspond to the objects. Trajectories may be based on the paths and the events. A distribution of intensity associated with the trajectories may be determined based on the energy associated with the traces in the images. Centroids for the trajectories may be determined based on the distribution of the intensity of energy, a resolution of the frame cameras, or timestamps associated with the events. Enhanced trajectories may be generated based on the centroids such that the enhanced trajectories may be provided to a modeling engine that executes actions based on the enhanced trajectories and the objects.

Abstract: Cooling module includes a mounting element, a force application member, a lever, and a cold plate movably coupled to the mounting element. The mounting element having engagement members, is coupled to a receptacle of an electronic device that is configured to receive a removable electronic device at the receptacle. The force application member having spring fingers, is disposed between the mounting element and the cold plate, and movable relative to the mounting element.

In the actuated state, the lever pushes the force application member along a first direction causing the engagement members to move the force application member along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and urge the cold plate to compress the spring fingers and establish thermal contact between the cold plate and the removable electronic module.

Abstract: An energy storage and electricity generating system for alternately storing energy and producing electricity includes a framework, which is positionable proximate to a surface of a body of water and to which a motor and a turbine are attached. A cable is operationally engaged to the motor by a pair of guide pulleys. A pair of tanks is attached singly to opposed ends of the cable, positioning the motor to selectively raise one of the tanks while the other is being lowered. Actuated valves and release valves on the tanks allow pressurized air to be selectively generated within the tanks and pressurized water to be forced from the tanks, respectively, as the tanks are lowered and raised. The water is forced through a hose onto blades of the turbine to generate an electrical current.

An enclosure that includes an event camera, one or more beam generators, or an optical focusing system may be provided such that the beam generators may scan a scene. Paths may be scanned across objects in the scene with the beams.

Trajectories may be determined based on the paths and the events such that each trajectory may be a parametric representation of a one-dimensional curve segment in a three-dimensional space. Three-dimensional information that corresponds to the objects may be generated based on the plurality of trajectories.
