    Abstract: A rotation detector includes a motor, a current detector and a hardware processor. The motor includes coils of two or more phases and a rotor. The current detector detects currents flowing in coils of at least two phases among the coils of two or more phases. The hardware processor estimates an initial position of the rotor based on current values of the currents detected by the current detector to start the motor, controls an energization pattern on the phases to rotate and start the motor based on the estimated initial position, and determines whether the rotor stops or is rotating before completing the estimation of the initial position.

  • Publication number: 20230008382
    Abstract: An exemplary lock apparatus generally includes a shackle, a crossbar, a lock device, a first bolt, and a trigger. The lock device has a locked state in which the lock device retains a spindle in a spindle locking position, and an unlocked state in which the lock device does not prevent movement of the spindle to a spindle unlocking position. The first bolt is engaged with the spindle such that movement of the spindle between the spindle locking position and the spindle unlocking position drives the first bolt between a first locking position and a first unlocking position. The trigger is movably mounted in the crossbar for movement between an engagement position, in which the trigger maintains the spindle in the spindle unlocking position, and a disengagement position, in which the spindle is operable to move to the spindle locking position.

  • Publication number: 20230008383
    Abstract: With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, it is desirable to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G NR, and Wi-Fi, on a single signal processing system, e.g., a system on a chip (SoC). Such an implementation may require simultaneously receiving and transmitting signals corresponding to each wireless standard and also signal processing according to respective requirements. Typical solutions involve providing separate hardware blocks specific to each wireless standard, which in turn requires more area on the SoC and consumes more power. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a unified hardware that may process signals across different standards in both a transmitting direction and a receiving direction simultaneously.

  • Publication number: 20230008388
    Abstract: Provided is a wireless communication device. A PHICH reception unit determines whether a received signal in a PHICH region is an ACK signal or a NACK signal. When doing so, the PHICH reception unit does not receive a PHICH in a subframe in which a terminal monitors an E-PDCCH. A control signal reception unit outputs a retransmission prompting signal to a signal allocation unit when the signal outputted from the PHICH reception unit is a NACK signal and when a UL grant was not detected. Meanwhile, when a UL grant was detected, the control signal reception unit outputs the detected UL grant to the signal allocation unit. The signal allocation unit maps the transmission signal in accordance with the retransmission prompting signal and the UL grant and transmits the transmission signal from a wireless transmission unit.

  • Publication number: 20230008419
    Abstract: An image-guided robotic intervention system (“IGRIS”) may be used to perform medical procedures on patients. IGRIS provides a real-time view of patient anatomy, as well as an intended target or targets for the procedures, software that allows a user to plan an approach or trajectory path using either the image or the robotic device, software that allows a user to convert a series of 2D images into a 3D volume, and localizes the 3D volume with respect to real-time images during the procedure. IGRIS may include sensors to estimate pose of the imaging device relative to the patient to improve the performance of that software with respect to runtime, robustness, and accuracy.

  • Publication number: 20230008420
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an ion funnel and associated systems, where the ion funnel includes a plurality of electrodes each define an opening having an associated inner dimension and receive a RF voltage. The associated inner dimensions progressively reduce in size from approximately a first inner dimension to approximately a second inner dimension. The electrodes define an internal chamber having an outer dimension that reduces at a convergence angle of approximately 30 degrees for at least a majority of a length of the internal chamber from the first inner dimension to the second inner dimension. Additional systems and methods are provided for transferring ions from an ion funnel to an ion mobility device having a pressure greater than that of the ion funnel, for selectively transferring ions from the ion funnel to the ion mobility device, and for stripping ions of certain molecules adducted thereto during transfer.

  • Publication number: 20230008425
    Abstract: A control unit that controls a reaction force actuator that applies steering guide torque to a steering wheel: calculates, based on a curvature of a curve of a travel road in front of a vehicle detected by a camera sensor, a target steering angle for causing the vehicle to travel along the curve; calculates a target steering guide torque, based on a deviation between the target steering angle that was calculated a prediction time period earlier and an actual steering angle; adjusts a target steering guide torque such that the target steering guide torque becomes smaller as a probability that a driver performs steering operation to deviate from a lane becomes higher; and controls the reaction force actuator such that the steering guide torque becomes the target steering guide torque.

  • Publication number: 20230008426
    Abstract: The present technology addresses deficiencies associated with common practices for handling out of order data in a streaming data database. An aspect of the present technology is avoid storing out of order data in a snapshot but just store the out of order data as additional data linked to the temporal graph. The present technology receives out of order data and records a modification time for the data and a next modification time for the data that equals a timestamp of data previously stored in the database. If there is also data in the database for a time earlier than the timestamp of the out of order data, the earlier data is adjusted so that its next modification time matches the timestamp of the out of order data.

  • Publication number: 20230008430
    Abstract: A method for updating a non-linear look-up table, an apparatus for updating a non-linear look-up table, and an optical receiver. The method for updating a non-linear look-up table includes: performing suppression processing on residual linear ISI contained in an input look-up table in an iterative update process of a look-up table to obtain a processed look-up table. The method eliminates adverse effects of a residual linear ISI in real time during an iterative update process of a LUT, so that a generated LUT coefficient does not continue to diverge along an iteration process, which ensures stable operation of pre-compensating on nonlinearity of an optical transmitter device.
