  • Publication number: 20230046048
    Abstract: A composite-type temperature raising and control integrated heating element and a temperature control method are provided. The heating element includes a heating body, which is integrated by welding two different conductive materials at a welding point. The heating element is not provided with a temperature measuring element other than the heating body. The heating body of the temperature raising and control integrated heating element is formed by welding two conductive materials. When a high voltage is applied, the two conductive materials serve as the heating body to generate heat. When the supply of the voltage is stopped, the two conductive materials serve as a thermocouple temperature measuring sensor to measure the temperature of the heating element. Compared to existing heating elements, the temperature measuring sensor is omitted, the fabrication process of the heating element is simplified, and the performance of the heating element is improved.

  • Patent number: 11569050
    Abstract: A keyboard includes a substrate, a plurality of key structures, and an air pump. Each key structure includes a keycap disposed on the substrate, an air bag between the keycap and the substrate, and an electrical contact point between the keycap and the substrate. The airbag deformed when the keycap moves towards the substrate, applying a reaction force onto the substrate, and returns to an original state when the keycap is released. The air pump can adjust an air pressure in the airbag by charging or allowing discharge of air, so as to adjust the force applied by the deformed airbag to the substrate, thereby adjusting a tactile feedback to user for pressing the keycap.

  • Patent number: 11527076
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for determining a low-height obstacle based on outputs of a LIDAR device in an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. A point cloud comprising a plurality of points is generated based on outputs of a LIDAR device. For each point within a first number of lowest rings of points, a neighboring point in a same ring to a first direction is determined, and a first and a second coordinate values-related differences are determined. A first, a second, a third, and a fourth quantities are determined based on the first and second differences. In response to determining that the first, the second, the third, and the fourth quantities satisfy a predetermined condition, a low-height obstacle is determined based on the points within the first number of lowest rings of points. Operations of an autonomous vehicle are controlled based at least in part on the determined low-height obstacle.
