  • Publication number: 20150045990
    Abstract: An active three-dimensional positioning device and a control system for floor-cleaning robot are provided in the present invention. The active three dimension positioning device includes a radio frequency (RF) receiver array, a radio frequency emitter and a control circuit. The RF receiver array includes a plurality of RF receivers for receiving a RF pulse. The RF emitter is used for emitting a RF pulse. The control circuit is coupled to the RF receivers. The control circuit transmits a transmission command to the RF emitter, after the RF emitter receives the enable RF signal, and the RF emitter emits the RF pulse. The control circuit calculates the position between the RF receiver array and the RF emitter according to the positions of the RF receivers and the time when each of the RF receivers receives the RF pulse.

  • Patent number: 8068111
    Abstract: A method for increasing speed in virtual 3D application is applied to a game console, which includes a processor and is used for outputting scan lines of a frame. The method includes the steps of: providing registers corresponding to the scan lines; and interrupting the processor in a vertical blank period. The step of interrupting includes: calculating 3D operating parameters corresponding to the scan lines according to an operation provided to the game console by a user; storing the 3D operating parameters into the registers; and calculating outputted scan lines according to the scan lines and the corresponding 3D operating parameters. Since the registers respectively corresponding to the scan lines are provided, the number of times of interrupting the processor can be decreased and the efficiency can be greatly increased.
