  • Patent number: 11627726
    Abstract: A system and method for estimating livestock weight is described. Embodiments of the system can include a computing device and a three-dimensional tag configured to be secured to an animal. One or more images of an animal, including the three-dimensional tag, can be processed to take various measurements of the animal. A scaling factor for the measurements can be based on the three-dimensional tag. After the measurement are calibrated, a weight of the animal can be estimated based on the calibrated measurements.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160225277
    Abstract: The flight simulator system includes a varied voltage linear transducer sensor interfacing with a moving axis to enhance precision position tracking. The varied voltage linear transducer sensor may be a Hall Effect sensor. The moving axis may be located at one or more of a cyclic assembly, a collective assembly and/or an anti-torque pedal. At the collective assembly, a first of the varied voltage linear transducer sensor is included on a first axis (e.g., pitch) and a second of the varied voltage linear transducer sensor is included on a second axis (e.g., roll). The varied voltage linear transducer sensor interfaces with one or more axial position in the simulator controls. The system may further comprise an input controller configured to translate output from the varied voltage linear transducer sensor from analog to digital.
