  • Patent number: 12046492
    Abstract: A transportation monitoring method is provided, including the following steps. A monitoring image of a robot blade outside a carrier is captured from a fixed field of view by an image capturing device. The robot blade is configured to move an item into or out of the carrier. Next, a sampling area is obtained from the monitoring image by a processing device. Also, a tilting state of the robot blade is determined according to the sampling area by the processing device. When the processing device determines that the robot blade is tilted, the processing device sends a warning signal. A transportation monitoring system is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10652322
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing and using techniques for event processing in a content management system. In response to determining that an inter-dependence exists between two or more events in the content management system, a same group event key is assigned to each inter-dependent event. All events having the same group event key are distributed to a same event processing node on a consistent hashing ring.

  • Publication number: 20160026700
    Abstract: Methods for case management in a production environment. An update to an existing case management solution running in a production environment is received. A collection of existing case instances created before the update was made to the existing case management solution is retrieved. Each case instance in the received collection of existing case instances is processed to add missing tasks to the case instance and to update a case instance structure for each case instance. Each processed case instance is saved.

  • Patent number: 9058576
    Abstract: Provided are a computer implemented method, computer program product, and system for partitioning a development environment. A development environment is divided into multiple project areas. Each of the multiple project areas is assigned to a different physical test environment. A solution is assigned to a project area among the multiple project areas. The solution is tested in the assigned physical test environment to modify the physical test environment. The physical test environment associated with the project area is re-initialized without re-initializing other physical test environments.

  • Publication number: 20100128177
    Abstract: Signal processing units capable of providing plug-in detection without an external circuit occupying GPIO resource are provided, in which a switching element is coupled to a television signal output pad, a terminal resistor is coupled between the switching element and a ground voltage, and an interrupt signal generator generates an interrupt signal when a receiving port of a television signal receiver is coupled to the television signal pad. A control unit turns on the switching element to connect the terminal resistor to the television signal output pad when receiving the interrupt signal, wherein the switching element, the terminal resistor, the interrupt signal generator and the control unit are integrated in a chip.

  • Publication number: 20090261914
    Abstract: An oscillator circuit. A gain stage element is coupled between both terminals of the crystal. The gain stage element provides a transconductance for oscillation according to a current provided by a current source, and outputs a periodic signal through an output terminal. A bias element is coupled between an input terminal and the output terminal of the gain stage element to bias the gain stage element. A first capacitor is coupled to the input terminal of the gain stage element. A second capacitor is coupled to the output terminal of the gain stage element. A controller detects the periodic signal, and adjusts the current when the periodic signal is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20050156894
    Abstract: A keyboard with a pointing device has a board with a bottom edge; a space key mounted on the bottom edge of the board, wherein the space key is particularly operated by either of two thumbs; multiple keys mounted on the board; and a pointing device mounted on the board and adjacent to the space key. By setting the pointing device adjacent to the space key, the pointing device can be conveniently driven by either thumb. Therefore, a user's hand does not need to move away from the keyboard when inputting data via the pointing device.
