Abstract: A method includes: navigating a spray nozzle across and applying a coating to a region of a structure via the spray nozzle; illuminating the coating applied to the region; detecting an intensity of light emitted by the coating at the region; calculating a coating thickness of the coating applied to the region of the structure based on the intensity of light; in response to the coating thickness exceeding a threshold thickness, confirming application of the coating on the region of the structure; in response to the coating thickness falling below the threshold thickness, flagging the region of the structure for coating repair.

Abstract: One variation of a method includes: navigating a set of spray nozzles across a first segment of the target surface according to a toolpath; applying paint onto the first segment of the target surface via the set of spray nozzles; accessing a first image depicting paint applied onto the first segment of the target surface; navigating the set of spray nozzles across a second segment of the target surface according to the toolpath; applying paint onto the second segment of the target surface via the set of spray nozzles; accessing a second image depicting paint applied onto the second segment of the target surface; and aggregating the first image and the second image into a paint map representing application of paint onto the first segment and the second segment of the target surface.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for booting servers, such as cloud datacenter compute servers. The servers may execute one or more hypervisors, such as stateless hypervisors, with each hypervisor supporting one or more virtual machines. In some examples, each of a plurality of servers are configured to boot from a network. The compute servers may obtain an IP address identifying a location of hypervisor bootable images. Upon a reboot, the servers may request and obtain a hypervisor bootable image from the IP address. The servers may execute the hypervisor bootable image to run a hypervisor. In some examples, the servers also obtain virtual machine images from the network. One or more hypervisors executing on each server may obtain, and execute, one or more of the virtual machine images to run one or more virtual machines.

Abstract: A stylus system comprises a sensor having a plurality of first conductors and a plurality of second conductors. A receiver is associated with each of the first plurality of conductors and each of the second plurality of conductors. The stylus system has a signal processor configured to perform a Fast Fourier Transform on the signals received by the receivers during a plurality of successive interleaved touch integration periods and stylus integration periods. The system identifies touch events from the FFT of the signals received on the receivers during a touch integration period; and determines the location of a stylus, and information transmitted by the stylus from the FFT of the signals received on the receivers during a stylus integration period or a touch integration period.
