Abstract: A beam scanning method includes acquiring, by one or more acquisition elements, measurements of a reflected light beam based on a temporal acquisition scheme, during which the one or more acquisition elements are configured to acquire the measurements at regular time intervals, or based on an angular acquisition scheme, during which the one or more acquisition elements are configured to acquire the measurements at regular angular intervals of the beam scanner; reading, by a main processor, a processor instruction set comprising a plurality of program instructions and a plurality of first acquisition instructions; generating, by the main processor for an acquisition engine, a plurality of second acquisition instructions based on the plurality of first acquisition instructions; executing, by the main processor, the plurality of program instructions during a scanning operation; and executing, by the acquisition engine, the second plurality of acquisition instructions during the scanning operation.

Abstract: A beam scanning system includes a controller configured to receive a scan plan that includes a plurality of measurement points arranged in a 2D scanning pattern; a detector configured to generate instances of measurement data based on reflected light beams; and one or more second processors. The controller tags each instance of measurement data with an instance of respective scanning metadata corresponding to a respective measurement point to generate tagged measurement data. The one or more second processors monitor a progress of a feature scan corresponding to a feature located in the scanning area based on one or more instances of respective scanning metadata included in one or more instances of tagged measurement data in order to detect a completion of the feature scan, and extract the feature from a corresponding set of tagged measurement data in response to the progress of the feature scan being completed.

Abstract: A beam scanning control system includes a motion compiler, a localization assembler, and a controller. The motion compiler receives a high-level descriptive language defining a plurality of scanning regions of a scanning area and a plurality of scanning parameter subsets corresponding to the plurality of scanning regions, calculates a two-dimensional (2D) scanning pattern based on the high-level descriptive language, and generates assembly instructions based on the 2D scanning pattern. Each scanning parameter subset corresponds to a respective scanning region of the plurality of scanning regions. The localization assembler compiles the assembly instructions into machine instructions based on one or more characteristics of a 2D scanning system. The controller executes the machine instructions, and, based on executing the machine instructions, generates control signals for controlling the 2D scanning system to perform a 2D scan of the scanning area according to the 2D scanning pattern.

Abstract: A method is set forth for routing user inputs from a PC to at least one embedded system over a network, comprising configuring at least one hotkey combination within the PC that maps to the at least one embedded system, upon receipt of the at least one hotkey combination capturing user interface input events to the PC and transmitting the user interface input events over the network to the at least one embedded system, and within the at least one embedded system injecting the user interface input events into an RTOS/Graphic engine.

Abstract: A hydraulic pivot device for pivotally connecting a support housing to a boom of the type secured to a vehicle. The hydraulic pivot device comprises a main housing having a gear-engaging piston which is axially displaceable in a piston cylinder provided therein. The piston has opposed piston heads and is sealingly displaced placed in the piston cylinder by fluid pressure applied at a selected one of opposed ends of the piston cylinder. The piston is also positively interlocked by the use of lock valves which are port-mounted at each end of the piston cylinder. A drive shaft having a drivable pinion gear is supported within the housing with a drivable pinion gear being in toothed engagement with a toothed section of the piston so that axial displacement of the piston wall impact axial rotation to the drive shaft.
