  • Publication number: 20230137593
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a radar reflector configured for radar-based distance measurements for determining a position of an elevator car within an elevator shaft. The radar reflector comprises three or more triangular panels defining a pyramidal frustum volume having a base plane and an upper plane that are parallel. The pyramidal frustum volume is configured to directly reflect radar signals originating from a radar transceiver back to the radar transceiver based at least in part on the triangular panels being mutually perpendicular at a projected apex above the upper plane. The reflected radar signals reflected by the radar reflector have substantially parallel trajectories with the original, pre-reflected radar signals emitted by the radar transceiver. The triangular panels of the radar reflector being mutually perpendicular advantageously maintains direct reflection of radar signals in spite of any potential horizontal tilt of the radar reflector to a certain extent.

  • Publication number: 20200353546
    Abstract: A jig saw including a clamping mechanism for removably clamping a saw blade and a driving mechanism. The clamping mechanism includes an actuating member and a clamping mechanism, the actuating member is configured to rotate about a first axis, thereby driving the clamping mechanism to achieve locking or unlocking of the saw blade. The actuating member includes an inclined surface extending in a rotation direction of the actuating member. The inclined surface cooperates with the clamping mechanism thereby to drive the clamping mechanism when the actuating member rotates. Since the clamping mechanism of the jig saw uses a clamping mechanism to apply pressure to the saw blade from the side, thereby abutting and fixing it on the main body, such a clamping mechanism therefore can be applied to different types of saw blades, regardless of the shape of the end faces of their clamping ends (e.g., V-shaped or U-shaped).

  • Patent number: 10096134
    Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system for sparse convolutional neural networks that improves efficiency is described. Multi-bit data for input to a processing element is received at a compaction engine. The multi-bit data is determined to equal zero and a single bit signal is transmitted from the memory interface to the processing element in lieu of the multi-bit data, where the single bit signal indicates that the multi-bit data equals zero. A compacted data sequence for input to a processing element is received by a memory interface. The compacted data sequence is transmitted from the memory interface to an expansion engine. Non-zero values are extracted from the compacted data sequence and zeros are inserted between the non-zero values by the expansion engine to generate an expanded data sequence that is output to the processing element.

  • Patent number: 9154910
    Abstract: This provides a terminal location obtaining method, device, and system. The method includes: a first terminal transmitting a location-obtaining request to a second terminal; the second terminal starting a positioning function to obtain the current location information of the second terminal, and transmitting the obtained location information of the second terminal to the first terminal; the first terminal using the location information of the second terminal as the location information of the first terminal, and performing a location-based application operation based on the location information. This can obtain relatively accurate location information of a terminal when the terminal is incapable of determining its own location when location determination is needed. This can also transmit the location information to a corresponding application server to avoid inaccuracy issues with determining a location based on the IP address of a terminal. This can facilitate an accurate location-based push message service.
