Abstract: A vehicle operating apparatus including a stressed means configured to receive a force applied thereon by a driver for operating a vehicle; a connecting means configured such that a first end is mechanically connected to the stressed means and a second end is mechanically connected to a mounting surface of the vehicle; a sensor configured to sense information associated with the force applied by the driver and convert the information into an electrical signal, the vehicle is able to perform driving-related operations in response to the signal; and an actuating means configured to actuate the connecting means according to a current driving state of the vehicle so that the stressed means is maintained at a specific position.

Abstract: A micro-robot magnetic drive device and a control method based on double closed loop three-dimensional path tracking are disclosed. The method includes: inputting a desired tracking path, obtaining current pose information of a magnetic micro-robot through a camera, and then calculating a position of a center of mass, an actual axial direction, coordinates of a desired position point with the shortest distance from the center of mass on a desired tracking path, and a tangent direction of this point; calculating a horizontal distance, a vertical distance, a direction angle error, and a pitch angle error of the two points according to the actual axial direction, the tangent direction, and disturbance compensation; and obtaining a required rotating magnetic field according to a designed position closed loop controller.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, there is disclosed an apparatus comprising a first communication interface, a second communication interface and tone control logic coupled to the first interface and the second interface. The tone control logic is operable to continuously transmit a guard tone on the second communication interface responsive to receiving data on the first communication interface, comprising data representative of a guard tone. The tone control logic is operable to discontinue transmitting the guard tone in response to a predefined event.
