  • Publication number: 20230184591
    Abstract: A thermal radiation detection device (1), said device comprising a sensor array (2) comprising a plurality of sensor elements (3) and an optical waveguide (4) having a radiation input end (5) and a radiation output end (6). The radiation input end (5) is configured to receive thermal5 radiation, and the radiation output end (6) is operatively connected to the sensor array (2). The optical waveguide (4) is configured to transmit the received thermal radiation as a plurality of simultaneous thermal radiation signals. By decoupling the sensor array from the radiation input end, the relatively large sensor array can be placed in a position optimal for electronic functionality and optimal in view of mechanical constraints, independent of the radiation input position.

  • Patent number: 11641586
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses associated with determining a location of a mobile device are described. Examples can include receiving, at a mobile device in response to a triggering event, signaling that indicates the mobile device is in an unauthorized location, in possession of an unauthorized user, or both. Examples can include prompting an input representative of authorized user verification and enabling one or more circuits or power supplies of the mobile device based at least in part on determining that a value of the input satisfies. In response and based at least in part on determining that the value of the input fails to satisfy the threshold, examples can include capturing environmental data and location data associated with the mobile device and communicating the environmental data and location data and a location determination to an authorized user. In some examples, a mobile device can be deactivated responsive to unconfirmed authorized verification.

  • Publication number: 20220351597
    Abstract: Apparatuses, machine-readable media, and methods related to hazard indicators are described. Determining whether hazards exists and the location of a hazard can be helpful when moving about. Computing devices (e.g., mobile devices and/or cloud-based computers) can be configured to run an application (e.g., a hazard indication tool) to determine that a hazard exists and indicate to a user of a computing device that the hazard exists according to examples of the present disclosure. A user can carry a mobile device with them while they are walking or running. The mobile device can include a number of sensors (e.g., image sensors, microphones, infrared (IR) sensors, ultrasonic sensors, location sensors) to generate data that can be used by a hazard indication tool to determine if a hazard exists.

  • Patent number: 11379742
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for predictive soil mapping based on solar radiation in large flat area, comprising: Step 1, capturing the response process of the earth's surface heat: after an observation day or an observation period is selected, a curve graph depicting a dynamic response of the surface heat to solar radiation captured by using a remote sensor of a moderate-resolution imaging spectrometer; Step 2, constructing environmental covariates: quantitative analysis is performed for the dynamic response curve graph obtained in Step 1 by a mathematical method, and characteristic parameters are extracted and taken as environmental covariates; and Step 3: a machine learning model is established for the predictive soil attribute mapping. This method solves the challenge of effective soil mapping in flat areas, significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of predictive soil mapping in flat areas, reduces the cost in time and economy of soil survey mapping.
