Patent number: 11960009Abstract: Techniques for determining an object contour are discussed. Depth data associated with an object may be received. The depth data, such as lidar data, can be projected onto a two-dimensional plane. A first convex hull may be determined based on the projected lidar data. The first convex hull may include a plurality of boundary edges. A longest boundary edge, having a first endpoint and a second endpoint, can be determined. An angle can be determined based on the first endpoint, the second endpoint, and an interior point in the interior of the first convex hull. The longest boundary edge may be replaced with a first segment based on the first endpoint and the interior point, and a second segment based on the interior point and the second endpoint. An updated convex hull can be determined based on the first segment and the second segment.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2020Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: ZOOX, INC.Inventors: Yuanyuan Chen, Zeng Wang

Publication number: 20240099920Abstract: A method for controlling a device for automatically adjusting an airway opening body position is provided. The device includes a horizontal base plate, a head support block, a back support plate, a neck support apparatus, a head cover assembly, and a programmable logic controller (PLC). The neck support apparatus is positioned between the head support block and the back support plate. The PLC is configured to controls a stroke of an electric cylinder according to the following equations: ?=1.235?+?, and ?=KX+B+C, where ? is a body position angle, the body position angle is an angle between a positive projection line of a connecting line from a mandibular angle to an external acoustic meatus on a symmetrical surface of a human body and the back support plate, and ? is a preset value ranging from 90° to 100°.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: XIANG-MEI YANG, MIN-YUE SUN, HONG-MEI CHEN, YAN LUO, JUN WU, JUAN HUANG, DONG-MEI LI, QING ZENG, JING ZHOU, JING WEN, JIN-JIN GUO

Patent number: 11365559Abstract: A locking mechanism and a door opening control method are provided for household appliances. The locking mechanism is provided on a front door panel of a door of a cooking machine and used for controlling the opening and closing of the door and includes: a lever which is mounted on the back surface of the front door panel and at least a portion of which protrudes from an opening provided on the front door panel to the front surface of the front door panel; an electromagnet which is mounted on the back surface of the front door panel and may be in a locked or unlocked state with respect to the lever. The locking of the door of the cooking machine may be realized through the cooperation between the electromagnet and the lever. Real-time control of the door may be realized to better ensure safety of the user.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: PANASONIC APPLIANCES MICROWAVE OVEN (SHANGHAI) CHINA CO., LTD.Inventor: Zeng Chen

Publication number: 20210127568Abstract: A garden tool includes a base, a motor arranged on the base, a cutting tool drivingly connected with the motor, a power supply, a main control module electrically connected with the power supply and used for controlling the motor, and a tilt angle detecting module connected with the main control module. The tilt angle detecting module detects a tilt angle between the cutting tool and a horizontal plane. When the tilt angle is greater than a preset value, the tilt angle detecting module sends a shutdown signal to the main control module. The main control module turns off the power supply to stop the electric motor upon receipt of the shutdown signal. A related method of use is disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2018Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: Juan Wei, Fei Chen, Zeng Chen, Tianrong Zhang

Patent number: 5990975Abstract: A dual screen displaying device for displaying two NTSC video signals on the left and right sides of a monitor is disclosed. The displaying device comprises two tuners for receiving wireless signals from an antenna and generating two video signals V1 and V2, two digitizing circuits for digitizing the video signals V1 and V2, a control circuit for merging the outputs of the two digitizing circuits, a digital-to-analog converter for converting the merged digitized signals back to a combined video signal, and a display control circuit for displaying the combined video signal. Asynchronous condition may happen when displaying different fields of the two video signals V1 and V2 in the same time. And the control circuit uses a storage method which controls the storage of a specific field of the video signal V2 or a data retrieval method which controls the retrieval of a specific field of the video signal V2 to solve the asynchronous problem.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 1996Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Acer Peripherals, Inc.Inventors: Liu Po Nan, Wang Cheng Chung, Zeng-Chen Huang
