  • Publication number: 20210389431
    Abstract: A LIDAR module includes: a light detector configured to detect light; a first (MEMS) mirror and a second MEMS mirror, wherein one of the first MEMS mirror or the second MEMS mirror is configured to direct received light towards a field of view of the LIDAR module, wherein the other one of the first MEMS mirror or the second MEMS mirror is configured to receive light from the field of view of the LIDAR module and to direct the light towards the light detector, and wherein the first MEMS mirror and the second MEMS mirror are configured to oscillate in synchronization with one another to cover a same angular range.

  • Publication number: 20210211635
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to calibrate and/or validate stereoscopic depth sensing systems are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an image generator to generate a first image for a first image sensor; and generate a second image for a second image sensor. First content in the first image is to be shifted relative to corresponding second content in the second image by a shift amount. The shift amount based on a target depth to be tested. The example apparatus further includes a calibration controller to cause the first and second images to be presented on the display screen; and calibrate the first and second image sensors based on a difference between the target depth and a measured depth. The measured depth based on an analysis of the first and second images as captured by the first and second image sensors when the first and second images are presented on the display screen.

  • Patent number: 7946504
    Abstract: An electronic faucet for mixing hot and cold fluids and a manual override system therefor. The override system is adapted to override the electronics of the faucet in order to allow a user to gain full manual control, for example, if the user merely desires it or there is a malfunction in the faucet's electronics or an electric power outage. The faucet can be operated in an automatic mode, a manual mode and switch between those modes. According to one embodiment, the override system disables the faucet's electronics as a result of manual movement of the handles causing a motor of the electronic faucet to deviate from its normal resistance or current, signaling the electronics to become disabled. According to another embodiment, pulling or pushing of the handles mechanically disengage them from the electronic control.
